Just back from Switzerland and the general word was that it's practically legal as far as vast majority are concerned. We were told to just be smart and it's fine.

My MO is that if I'm gonna smoke...

I betcha there's plenty of snow for opening.
Plowing starts in a few weeks and they'll post up some drone footy. Look for those on MTDOT.
Temps between now and then as well as what one expects are...

A little extra shovel on them 191's. Lean into them mag.


ON the line.

What we can all agree on is that that section of Sublette ridge, namely 'Pepi's', is an exceptional bit of terrain.
An easy access ridgeline that is advanced skiing down the ridgeline and expert or...

Brent and...

So many friends that have gone before me.

The bent tip one is the one we traded, yes?

Tell us more about how you bent it. That's a job...

That's good living right there...

Teleee - isn't that something how our circles tend to cross historically? Odds are good that ticketchecker and I worked right beside...

Youngern's get the black ones. OG's sport the gray ones.

90-91 was a sucky season in retrospect. My first full season in JH tho so I thought it was grrrrreat. Around 350-375" iirc.

First winter driving the box and I recall an early season cold...

Ha! I bet that was a quiet ride...not the most talkative guy.

The first major crusty ski bum I ever met. NY'er all the way.

Skiing POW everyday now with Doug and Ray and Howie and RJ and...

Miss Sublette was my first true love on that mountain. We were pretty regular for about a dozen years. I'll miss the slow roll and the long puffsnstuffs.

Seen a lot of crazy shit go down beneath...

Man, 60% off is as good as it gets. Sweet packs too. I almost bought on principle...

Dogs in the airport. Almost never.

Occasionally, yes. But rare and more likely in international areas if at all.

The waitress at Roosters @SLC airport suggested going in the family bathroom and...

^^^^^

Fair enough, and I completely concur for an international trip.

Recent analysis indicates that carrying a thc pen in your carry on is fairly undetectable.

The typical airport circus is well enhanced.

Hellz yeaaaaah!

That was a fun cinematic experience fosho.

I had a dramatic change of plans this week so I may try and make an overnight to hang witchu mags. Last year I was racing home when I...

Risk assessment. It's a science.

Regardless of conditions, ropes, signage, etc. Skiing beneath that hanging snowfield after a dump is the only internal debate one needs to have.
It was unsafe by...

An example:

In JH, before the boundaries opened around '97, the patrol would set the Far Drift ropeline about 50' inside the actual boundary. That way if you went to the rope and then ducked it,...

^^^^^^^^^^

Well with any luck and a predicted incoming La Nina, we'd be stoked to have her rolling around the village again, finally. And it's way more conducive to skiing on a recent repair than...

And it took 2 tries to be worthwhile, yes?

That first season at BBIJH22 was challenging to say the least. You kicking the shit outta yer clamps will not soon be forgotten.

Last year though -...

Holy schnikies, you fargin genius. That's some backdoor shite right there.
Thanks !



The slope in question looks like closed but prob within the overall boundaries. And therein lies the...

That's pretty damn funny and not wrong.

Highly doubtful, like B and C.

The resort has no real gains by hooking up the locals other than local good will.

The best thing they could do is get...

edit: obvi not BC...

unable to correct my post above^^^^

We bomb inbounds closed areas all the time so that they don't release onto skiers below.

And that's not 100% safe as they occasionally let loose after a thump.

But plainly not the same...

Waaaay too optimistic.

Locals were plainly getting screwed in the last coupla years, so this is a stopgap to the problem.

Last year we got a 10% discount for buying the year before. That's...

If I could post a fucking picture anymore...

I could point out the skiers entry point.

Pull up the video and stop it at the first coupla frames. I can see an entry way top lookers left where...

This was the overall consensus amongst the old JH crew too.

I still have a coupla the tipped 194? LPR's.
One pair easily has 400 days on them, prob 120 in the first season.
I was young and...

I see about a dozen tracks in there prior to the slide and you can see 3 of the deceased begin to move before they get swept.

That's an alarming watch. Interesting propagation pattern too.

We're discussing the expensivest valley in CH, not the entire country.

Twelve dots - that's funny.

Missed you in Europe this year RA13. You'da dug it fosho.

Dag nabbit.

Ottime, knocking it outta the park again.

That there's one solid fucking mag.

Jackson baby, anytime. I'm your huckleberry.

You show up and we'll handle the rest. Least we could do for you...

Sailcat! What's up my friend?

Good to see you're still chasing the snow. Funny tale of yours tho. That's some tough luck but you been around the block; you know the deal.

Maybe swing into...

PM rec'd., thanks. I'll take the puffy.

It's for an elderly friend who loves those old school MH downies. He'll be stoked, thanks.

Will pm yas and figure out the deets.

^^^^^

I had a Breg polar care model but the knee pad was covered over the patella.

Not sure how one with/without the hole would affect much differently. Maybe if the patella was cracked and...

Yo AB, I'm interested in that MH puffy. What color is that? Looks kinda grayish...

Holla.

^^^^^

Non, au contraire mon frere.

Easy steeps are my jam, as the kids say/said.

I'm frankly impressed that the first price steps weren't a bit more. That's still chump change.

Unguided base goes up $50 and premium goes up $100.
Last years deal was one heli for $39 and a second free one. Now it's $99 for heli lap.

Overall a crushing deal still.

Inflation. It's a...

My vision is you skiing the Revolts tomorrow in the 18-24"

Ok, sorry. I've been a bit outta the loop.

Let's clarify.
I'm too lazy to be making a lot of work for myself and others just to mold one pair of liners. Which I could have my probro do for me...

Same here and for kinda the same reason. 2024 was not awesome for me in the macro world.




If this was the way to go out, I'd be laughing all the way...



Honestly Dear Leader, I'm...

I was assuming the Bartender's rack was the Gun show.

If it says a 4.1, then just buy a 4.1 and get on with it.

If it has metal and I'm betting it does, you'll know it within a few seconds of beginning to drill. You'll see the silver after buzzing...

Where's the GS boards?

Somebody here wants those MRR's for something. They make stylish door knockers.

I'd be down at the thrift store looking for some older solly's, not sure if that's an...

Thanks M., appreciate the vibes.

Things are alright up here, just feeling my wrecks more than usual. Might be 3 off seasons of trying to get healthier. It's starting to impinge on my ski...

^^^^^

Super stoked to see you're getting paid for returning to Taos. Fresh snow and nobody skiing is gonna be a rarity you'll not soon forget.

Dang man, you and me both . Maybe we can get someone to get it to Jackson, I can mold my shize, then send it to the next mag and so on. It'll be the underground railroad of heating your own liners.

It was excellent to get some more party time in with Singlecross and to make some turns today.
I've been holding off to rehab so it was a tentative start. Conditions were smooth on piste with a...

Like a warm embrace, from an old Friend.
I am luckier for your friendship now, more than ever.

I would call the San Mo leg more the dessert, than a side trip.
It was hard to leave the comfort and crew at the Mt. Lodge, but after 9 days we moved on.
