At Kirkwood today:

Had a "guy" (nicest word I could come up with) jump out of his car and run up to my window, as traffic was paused for the shuttle, to ask if he could go around me so he could follow his friend because he "didnt know how to get out of here".

His buddy was one car ahead on the incredibly complicated drive out from Kirkwood to 88.

The even better recent Truckee CHP Facebook post was the on where the Infiniti SUV apparently tried to ram the gate at the base of 40. That didn't end well.

That was great. Someone has been watching too many movies.

Awh man I missed that one

Here it is. Heh.

I realized the extent of something that may be a larger problem the other day:
I don't ever look at the trail map of our little Michigan shitpile so I never noticed: part of our hill including several groomers and some gladed trees between the groomers is all labeled on the map "backcountry"....which is fine, sort of, I guess. Also, an inbounds part of the famed and vaunted Mt. Bohemia is called "Extreme Backcountry"....again, no harm done. Except that I was talking to a guy on the chair the other day who, probably like many skiers in this region, genuinely thought that word just meant ungroomed snow or even just not manmade snow. He was so convinced of this that he sort of argued with me a bit before conceding that possibly it's being misused here in the Midwest. So if that guy goes to the mountains and sees a BC access gate it seems quite possible he would just think it's another part of the ski area, just like home. It made me wonder how many people have no idea what the word backcountry refers to, and if whoever is throwing that word around at these little midwest ski hills understands it; and if they do understand the word, whether they realize the trouble they could cause one of these Barneys who ends up thinking a BC gate is just some tree skiing.

If it's in-bounds skiing and they're calling it "backcountry," that's pretty fucked up. Typical marketing dept. B.S.

Moral: don't mess with my topsheets.

Who's supposed to be the gaper in this tale?

doughboyshredder · 01-25-2016, 11:03 PM

After all this time I just realized "qoute" in the title of the thread. Wow.

Newsflash, dumbfuck: Don't stand in the offload area.

Idiots like you deserve to be ejected from your skis with a deep shoulder check.

I frequently hear the term "backcountry" used for anything that's not groomed at my local ice-bump in WI.

Nice edit, you piece of shit. Edited how you physically assaulted him and then sprayed him with snow on the way down. Fuck you.

Here's the original for posterity

The distance is irrelevant. Unless this was a black diamond only run then you have to be prepared for the eventuality of there being beginners/low intermediates getting off the chairlift.

Easy rule to follow: get the fuck out of the offload zone.

While his original post was kinda douchy, don't be so aggro bro. I'm pretty sure if there is a trail map there it's meant to be stopped and looked at. More than 30' away from the bottom of the ramp seems adequate.

My original comment was about him getting upset about messing his top sheets up, and bragging about assaulting the guy. That seems a bit gaperish to me.

Just pointing out that it's possible that to THEM "Backcountry" means "not patrolled". Or "not groomed".

The issue is that their use of the word doesn't match what most people think it means. And you get guys arguing over definitions. Definitions are local, no 2 ways about that. Pop, Soda, or Coke?

In the 70s and 80s Killington had a lot of stuff "off the map" which are now part of the ski area (and patrolled now too).

If this is the case I do agree that they need to be more clear on what they mean by "Backcountry".

What's just as bad is that some guys from the Midwest, who can ski the blacks there, goes to Taos, Snowbird, or Jackson, and immediately head to the blacks, thinking they have already skied stuff like that. I know that some of the "Greens" at Snowbird would kick their butts......

Ski trail ratings are local, and though guys "that have been around" know this, new skiers do NOT. They think the ratings are Worldwide, and the same everywhere.
