I'd like to hear him explain what makes these skis better than Crosson skis.

this is him last year (When he was their Chief Innovation Officer)

...

FWIW, I think the way things played out this year the water surveys are less indicative of the amount of runoff left than they typically are, although the low levels of the northern reservoirs is...

ummmm, yeah, about that. i should prolly decline. he's great to ski with, but can't be in areas with other parties, unless they know the secret password. If you don't know the password there's a good...

skiing right from the car.

could also be an inversion. at 7am at the base of chair 1 (at kirkwood) it was 34 degrees and 43 degrees at the top of 6. By 10 am it was 51 degrees at the bottom and 49 at the top of 6.

ebikes are allowed on the portion that is within Nevada State Park, which basically means spooner to tunnel creek (not on the Flume Trail as part of that leaves the state park).

That's the forestdale divide area. In the second pic the road in the foreground is snowmobile territory. The highmarks in the background (same as the first pic) and those to the right are within the...

could also go in the ikon pass thread

fuck i hope this guy gets out of the snow.



edit-phew

and this face looks scary. picture the bec conditions with one storm hiding the rocks

Well, still no videos from the red headed step child (region 2), but the finals in Gurgl are streaming now in 30 languages. This is english

arrrgh. now i'm perturbed.

I was wondering where he was from. There were more than a few previous tour riders on there. Hope there's some vids but haven't checked since this morning.

It is early. But this is pretty much what you want your mountain to say, and how you want them to handle it.


Homewood was slated to go for the 17th and easter. They're not gonna make it. I'm...

I bought some earlier because i needed them and the day I was shopping I had named a new ski venue I found Plinkos, so I had to buy them. But I seriously like them as much as any previous pole I've...

Not only that but then I went and circumnavigated the entirety of the red lake zone on skins before skiing anything. Not sure if it was hot pow or snot pow when I finally hit it but it was still...

ToT Cam looking pretty cool right now

It was by his (Aymar's) measure. Aymars lines are straightlines pure and simple. You can see him pause before dropping in to each one to make he has it lined up. This one involved one slight right...

He had also stepped away from the huge risks he took earlier in his career. And i didn't remember this detail but he was snowboarding when he died....

Back when we called them helicopters instead of 360s.

But were Turdell's and Regner-Eriksson's 3s also stupid? Cause they were in the same place and Eriksson ended up on the podium. Turdell may...

You mean the same Reine who also crashed and hit his head on a rock?

Here is the Dr. Gaffney you're talking about.

Well said, and there actually IS a list of those that have died in competitive ski races and it is much much larger than just the list of those badly injured at freeride comps. I can think of 2 Tahoe...

What do you know about his motives and why do you get to decide who has the right ones?

Maybe they dropped their prices but this year the window price was $110 and the $64 tix were weirdly available on days that had nothing to do with how busy they were. i honestly think the difference...

exactly. I would be interested in seeing his horrifying list of severally(sp) injured athletes. Also the grim comment about more deaths makes it seem like they are commonplace. As far as I know the...

cool post. please, go enjoy your carve and we'll enjoy what we enjoy. or go on some crusade to end the sport based on your lack of understanding.
but please, just go

edit- on a side note I had no idea Dave Grohl was the drummer for Killing Joke at any time much less when this came out. Sad side note - the drummer for...

You do understand this is a site for 'adrenaline junkies' like Aymar. You're not in epicski any more Dorothy.

You're right I've never watched one. :rolleyes2

please go somewhere else. you are clueless. maybe watch nascar

If you're going to quote me using quotations, please cut and paste otherwise you just come off as a lying piece of Trump. Go fuck yourself


Tof and Schirmer could die tomorrow and still live...

Navarro totally knows what he is doing. That's why he is still alive. The lines he is taking are super scary and intense but are designed for clean straightlines out, which in general means clean...

Not that I'm aware of. I was doing press for that and have the burst mode of it. In that case noone really saw anyone die. He gave the thumbs up when he was taken away on the sled but died later (two...

I agree but that applies to everyone on the face for the whole comp. I was more referring to Navarro’s style of skiing, which applies to many (Barkered, Malakov , Heitz, Bimboes,etc) where you’re...

He's not mostly terrible. He stood on the podium in Verbier last year and has made to to Verbier twice. You can't be terrible and succeed at the sport's highest echelon. He simply has a high...

He did zero tomahaks, but did do about 4 spins. It could have been a spine in different conditions. But if they just got 18" of snow the conditions would have been great and it would have still been...

He wasn't going to slow down he was taking it to the bottom just like the other events he did. Just like Gerritzen did after she missed her opportunity to shut it down.

The conditions don't really matter when you make a mistake. The rocks are exactly as hard in all conditions. As it is both Navarro and Heitz are doing well (I had to go check and make sure Heitz...

Wow. You guys know this is a big mountain comp with freestyle aspects, not a freestyle comp where folks get chastised for skiing big lines.

it happens

do want

I'd say better than it looks

ugggh.

Wait a minute. We don't even have a KFC. Damn tourist bears.

Good running into everyone. Hiked up to 6,900’ before the bike ride and that’s where the inversion started to fade and the pup paws started breaking through (circled in bike pic). Great low angle...

^^good eye gimpy. i wasn't seeing it on the fwt website either, but that's because it defaults to only showing the region 1 (europe) events. It's still happening (and apparently there's a 4* event at...

They are still holding the 3* event on the 29th and 30th and for some reason Tahoe Freeride is still asking for volunteers on the 31st.

My point is, just because we have a different risk tolerance than others, even wildly different, doesn't mean we should assume they didn't understand theirs. Sure, as we get older we tend to have a...

Have you ever gotten into a car? Doing that equates to one level of risk tolerance. Skiing a 40 degree slope in dangerous conditions is another. There are also many in between.

Perhaps they never had permission to use the lookers left side of the cirque as the venue? That's the N facing stuff that still holds the snow.
