Can you see any kind of inconsistency that I don't see, or some other model telling me that the fucking goddamned dreaded ridge of death is not going to be over us for at least two weeks starting saturday? Lie to me if you have to.

we have it coming after the start of the season.

I really really like Naked Fish. The sushi chef trained in Japan, they have the best sake list in SLC, and the fish varietals are amazing. Spendy though. Takashi is overrated imho, trendy and noisy with scant portions and boring omakase selection. I was pleasantly surprised by Tsunami in sugarhouse, didn't expect much based on looks but the fish was very fresh and prices were low. But I think Naked Fish is up there with the best sushi restaurants in Boston and LA (where i've lived before). Let us know what you think~

This is absolutely true..... if you dont just let the sushi chefs do their job and serve you what they think will be good. Ordering off the menu and Takashi is 'just another sushi place with really expensive drinks'.

**frozenwater** · 01-18-2011, 06:49 PM

Go to Takashi, sit down at the sushi bar and ask them "what is the best and most interesting today"? and you will have a great experience.

Last Wednesday I did this at lunch and had an amazing Monk fish liver pate sashimi style, sea urchin, and some fresh Toro.

They don't use the market anyone in utah and most sushi places use (aquarius on 3rd next to Caputo's) and they have chefs that no what they are doing.

Yes you can sit down and order a spicy tuna roll of the menu and then think "huh, this is kind of lame and not worth it" but otherwise I really can't see having a bad experience there.

Oh, and the skiing sucks in downtown slc right now, I wouldn't consider it jib worthy at all.

BTW there's a joke somewhere in here about fresh sushi, momo girls and virginity but I'm not smart enough to make it.

Back to the regularly scheduled programming.
Let it snow.

I missed this the first time around, too...
Let it SNOW.

I'll be at Snowbird the last weekend in January. Just finished looking at the GFS and I feel sick. That ridge has been on every run for at least the past 7 days.

Good luck guys.

I tried this last time (omakase means chef's choice) but maybe it was an off day. i'll have to try it again, maybe the weekend dinner crowd spoiled my appetite.

sad about the snow, looks like i'll be hunkering down and getting around to some much neglected house projects in the next few weeks, which should make the missus happy!

Colon puckering, even on this end.

Anyone at the bird today? How are the conditions up there?

**lionelhutz** · 01-19-2011, 01:24 PM

I got a report from Alta....and that's close to the bird.
Reports were it was about 10-11 of denser snow. Anything that was groomed is skiing great. Haven't opened anything else yet. Wind was hammering this am. Still snowingly lightly. Filling in many of the bumps. Needs to bond.

Yeah im assuming that the base left after this past weekends "rain" event still needs some more snow...

**Alx88** · 01-19-2011, 03:40 PM

East Bowl rode GREAT.. Wind jacked up top as always, felt pretty blower/bottomless the rest of the way down..

Man its a bitch breaking the trail out! We saw like 40 people at 6:30 am heading towards twin lakes pass, I assumed the OR folks.. One of em called me a fag-splitboarder, and told me he had a bigger dick than me

I love the PEN.

Hahhahah, all the cool guy, bro/brah OR folks. The folks who come to town with thick knee pads to saunter around the OR Show looking for a cock to suck in hopes of getting deep throated by "the industry" for some free gear and maybe a "spancership" for their next rad expedition that nobody gives a shit about.

**Alx88** · 01-19-2011, 04:32 PM

Brah's were looking sharp

all spancered out though, I'll give 'em that.

And don't forget the 99% who own or manage a retailer, or who work for a manufacturer or distributor and are trying to find items to sell at a price that makes them money so they can pay the mortgage and feed the family. What a bunch of fags. Then they have the nerve to try to mix business with pleasure and get in some turns while on their business trip. Don't they know that those of us who live here own the goddamn mountains and will outski them down the K-12 any fucking day of the week? Pathetic.

**westoxified** · 01-19-2011, 04:42 PM

I love searching for metaphorical cock to suck.

edit: oh wait...the conditions. No idea.

**Johnny Deep** · 01-19-2011, 04:53 PM

Hey, if everyone carried on like me, there would be no stinkin' economy. I raise a beer to you's guys! You bring me new gear and pad my 401...I feel sort of indebted, but am not stoked enough to change my ways...tomorrow I ski...again. Maybe some day I'll reach FAG status.

Sure, that does make up the bulk of the OR show, but the rest is just people fluffing and whoring themselves.

No need for it to be metaphorical, just drive downtown and choke on the real thing.

**alto** · 01-19-2011, 05:29 PM

Retail and the OR show... Its a bizarre world.

As a sponsored athlete I am forbidden to discuss any reports of fellatio or cunnilingus. But I am admittedly intrigued by the closed-door parties, exclusive give-aways, and the ubiquitous micro-fill synthetic down jacket clad industry folk seen around the convention center this time of year. It is surely an event that needs a Hunter S. Thompson Fear and Loathing-style expose.

Bring me the fucking golf shoes!
