Yep. Guilty as charged. You enjoy your mountains, enjoy your stashes, you've worked to find them. Originally Posted by BlurredElevens

But don't become so myopically elitist that you feel the need to crow, exclude and belittle people who aren't in such a fortunate position. It's ugly."Nothing is funnier than Hitler." - Smokey McPole

whining for guidebooks? I don't see anyone whining for them. It's a free market economy, someone publishes one, and people either buy it or not. Nobody is whining that there should be more guidebooks, all I see is people whining about the existence of them. Originally Posted by BlurredElevens

And you know what, I don't own the mountains any more or any less whether I live in a city or a small town or the middle of nowhere (hint: neither do you). I've lived in all of them. I've used guidebooks sometimes (they can be really helpful sometimes and really annoying at others) and I've found stuff on my own. And if I found something on my own, and someone else shows up there because they read it in a guidebook or a friend showed them or they read it on the internet, so be it.

This thread has inspired me to write a guidebook to the Gore Range. Once published, you'll find me running laps on Nitro at Berthoud while the Gore's get overrun with traffic.

When wandering in remote and unmapped great ranges like the Gore, remember to respect the culture and customs of the local tribes, who rarely see Westerners and might be frightened by your futuristic and alien appearance. Tuck your jeans into your boots to look local. Also, remember that the Gorsuch store only stocks 5 kinds of exotic fur cossack hats, so you won't have access to the same amenities you might enjoy back home! Originally Posted by Ireallyliketoski

Don't forget when you get home to crack open those bottles of Dom that you could afford because of all the money the guidebook brought you! Originally Posted by Ireallyliketoski

People whining about the existence of guidebooks need to be dumping on the people that write them, not the people that buy them. And most of the people that write guidebooks live in the mountains.

I don't really understand your question. Are the books worth the money? Since I got mine off Summit for free, I would have to say yes. Originally Posted by SkiNebraski

The forum is good right now - so much awesome debate!Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

man im stoked for laps on nitro......as far as my opinion on guidebooks, I've used 'em. I'll probably use 'em again. And frankly, I'm a big fan of gettin' as much information as possible before I go put myself somewhere in the mountains, so if there's a book or a blog or something available about something I'm going to go ski, I have no problem using it to keep myself from getting killed.

PULL THE 12" COCK OUT OF YOUR ASS, BITCH.Hey d-bag - here's something for you to think about: maybe (just maybe) not everybody here has their little panties in a wad 24/7 and flies into a rage whenever somebody disagrees with them. Maybe these same mags don't take this place uber-seriously. Maybe this even includes the vast majority of the people who post here as opposed to you and like 20 other thin-skinned douchebags. Just something to think about. -JER

And if you think Colorado is more than a bunch of molehills, then you should step out of the meth trailer, bend over, and JONG YER STUPIDSELF.

self-important nonsense, dude. give me a break. guidebooks provide inspiration, ideas, and interesting tidbits and clues that can help point you in the right direction. a picture or a few hundred words can do justice to a place that a bunch of squiggly lines on a map can't.
