    What kind of asshole goes to a brewery and drinks koolaid? ;-) Love JLB.

    That video was hilarious and pretty much sums up the Squaw experience. All press releases, little action.

    Dude: "It's the first time patrol will be integrated."
    Me: "So like a patroller from Alpine can go over to Squaw?"
    Him: "Yeah."
    Me: "Ok. But if you're familiar with a mountain and have been working there for a while, doesn't it make sense to stick with what you're familiar with? For example, if you've been running routes on Keyhole and High Yellow, wouldn't it make sense and be safer to stick with your route rather than go run routes on Granite or Mainline Pocket?"
    Him: "Yeah, I suppose so."
    Me: "Ok cool. Got it."

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    (Note: I can see some instances where integration of patrol would be helpful. I just don't see it as some crazy groundbreaking thing. Like I said, dude was drinking the Renaissance koolaid. Don't knock JLB, their beverages had nothing to do with it. )

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    I can see the idea of patrollers going back and forth maybe being useful in some cases...... but if that’s the case why did it take KSL over half a decade to implement?
    I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

    Some of us aren't ready to say goodbye to 16/17--a year the likes of which some us will never see again.

    dude, it has no snowed twice in the past month; we're talking skiable/rideable snow both times.
    16/17 is done.

    Ya, I don't know about that. Since that patch has been there all summer and he could have skied it with or without any of the new snow, that doesn't count in my book as a new season. Snap denied.

    The bottom pic totally confused me because it looks like a pic I took. Then I realized it was. I forgot that I posted it!

    Yeah sorry! All these shots I posted here I was able to download from the thread - I didn't take any of them and apologize to all the photographers whose identities have been lost by my downloading.
