Haven't been on TGR since 2018, though I've been skiing plenty (well, for someone who lives 500 miles from the mountains and has a day job). Can't access my old account (horizon), hence this new one. Once I can post photos I'll start a thread, but I assume I need a bit of post count.

Feel free to JONG me.

Hi from SLC! Getting on the boards as I have a lot of spare time now with a season ending ACL tear

[slipperypete]

went wrinkle-brain for 10 minutes and read the meeting-the-maggots + gearswap rules threads. ISO access to the half-pair thread to find a companion to my lonely K2.

Longtime Tech Talk lurker, never had much to say -- used to ski all over BC but mostly stay local to the southern Interior with the kid these days.

He's a teenager now so I may need to step up the dad-ripping in order to keep up.

[HotSchmoo]

Testing. Got locked out. Am i back?

[HotSchmoo]

It appears so

[Dust Rider]

Been lurking here for over a decade for ski reviews. Figure I should finally join this shit show rodeo. Know a few of these maggots from skiing in the Montana & Wyoming regions for 30 years. Im old school, my hat brim is curved and no man bun here bro. Grew up skiing with ranchers, farmers and cowboys of yester year before the money defiled the interior west.

Broke my leg and in the same boat

Just wanted to add that as someone who has lost friends to avalanches, I take snow science and awareness seriously. That is one of the reasons I have returned to TGR; I am looking for ways to improve avalanche education in the Inland Northwest. I have some experience with control work at A-Basin, Silverton Mountain, and around Spokane. I am seeking knowledgeable backcountry partners, however I am also open to sharing my experience with those willing and able to learn. I am familiar with most of the backcountry areas in and around the greater Spokane area including Sherman Peak and Fourth Of July Pass. I am also interested in skiing in other parts of Washington that I have not been to yet. It has been years since I've been up to Red, but hopefully I can start that up again.

Anyways, I usually make one multi-day trip up to Schweitzer per year and other than that am looking to do most of my skiing at Mount Spokane and Lookout Pass. The new lift at Lookout has changed things and created a wonderful new skiing opportunity. Mount Spokane has secrets out of bounds. Other than that if people are looking to skin at Micah Peak, that would be even easier for me to get to. That's all for now, I hope you all are getting ready for an ass-kicking season.

quit bumping threads about dead people, jong.

[~mikey b]

go fuck yourself

[JayPowHound]

Saw one comment about the bumps.. then started to see the list. WTF bot? Seems like "fatality" was the search criteria?

[ASmileyFace]

Their post here reads like a ChatGPT response. The weird phrasing around "control expereince" and naming off as many resorts around Spokane as possible sets off my AI written alarm bells.

I'm betting bot personally. If a real person is bumping every thread made in the last year about avalanche deaths, they need to fuck right off.

yeah, it does read sort of chatbot. But pretty impressive to have a 4+ year old account and just start posting. And the IP address tracks to Spokane.
