RIP to one sick MF'er. May your lines be deep and endless.

[Phill]

God damn. They let people do that? Holy shit.

He'll definitely be missed.

RIP BP

Pretty sure it's a poach unless he got permission from Patrol to do it as that area is a permanent closure.

I want to say the Bird banned him after that.

Sickness regardless.

Rode the tram up with him that morning, he was pumped on the line. I had the chance to ski pipeline the day before, and was stoked to see his tracks the next afternoon.

Damn that is a sexy line.

RIP dude.

[StroupSkier]

Awsome skier, sweet line and he is missed.

How high do you think the cliff is at the end?

when Billy hiked up there to do that line he was a wide eyed kid enjoying his first stint in the Wasatch. Since he was unfamiliar with the zone and since there were no ropes at the top of that line, he figured it was all backcountry and good to go. Its just like Billy to roll up to a zone and see something gnarly and just go for it. I think a lot of the Snowbird locs were pissed at Billy for hitting that and potentially jeopardizing the BC access, but they were probably more pissed that some new kid on the block hit one of the boldest lines around--a line that they had never stepped up to before.

Baddest poach in North America right there. Makes squaw tram face look small time.

Can't imagine seeing that line skied ever again. Think about that for a few.

[Trackhead]

Holy crap! Never new that had been skied.

Has anyone else ever skied it? Vision.

[GoEhuge]

Wow... period.

First of all, that line to right was skied by a snowboarder a few years back, I believe, the one with the bigger air. We all saw the crater. As for locals not stepping it up, maybe its because some of them value their freedom and their ability to own a snowbird pass.

we are not talking about the line to the right.

[StroupSkier]

The line far right is pipeline, and is allowed by the patrol. He is refering to a line further right on the face that requires a larger air to exit.

ooooohhhh man; what a late summer night to log in expecting to just "chill" a little and take my own mind off some internal demons and then i see this most intense, love-filled, i miss you thread ... well worthy of it as I was just thinking of BP the other day and glad to see him not forgotten in the most strong sense!!! thanks BB!!! i'm sure Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Barker, Mr. Clark, Mr. Carr, Mr. Raddam, Mrs. Janesaw, etc. that knew the fine man that Billy was far better than I could ever hope will weigh in this thread at some point and time over the next day, week or month of this summer and I for one will enjoy reading what they put up here or what I hear them speak in person - thank you in advance.

also, thanks Dug for that vid link on u-tube that i was not aware of; that was beeee-uuuu-teee-ful!!!

after that, some very insightful comments from some very special peeps 'round here for a long time and some that i'd rather just ignore.

Thanks again BB for clicking the post reply button; i still remember seeing his tracks on that face in that very good year days later and seeing our own
Str8 speak of the line while also wide eyed and bushy tailed about BP hitting the line with speed, style, big turns, balls and fun ..... 'nough said

[Roo]

Where is his exit from that face?

[HuckSolo]

So sick..RIP...shred the big lines and deep pow BP

[Long duc dong]

That is a sick line. You really have to know exactly where you are going. The first I saw of Billy was in the Wink movies. It's sad he won't be able to add to what was already quite a resume.
