LCC Road closure conspiracy?

This thread is a mirror of the I70 bitch thread. It’s fucking hilarious.

But. I will say there are also more people trying to ski powder than two or three decades ago so 8000 skiers on the groomed feels like a lot less than 6000 racing down the High T.

I don't know how long ago college was, but if you haven't been around the last few years, you really have no clue!

Fair enough. Been out of the LCC shit show for about six years now.

Just like the skiing between Colorado and Utah, there's no comparison.

If I was a Baker I'd probably be looking for a city like it...

Yeah we get it, the Utards feel the need to brag about the better skiing they have, to make up for the fact that they have to live in fucking Salt Lake City.

This would make a lot more sense if you weren't in BROulder

I blame the Vault.
There has to be some funny business going on up there.

Bet they won't have to pay the toll.

Everyone should move to SLC. Clean air, progressive, great beer. CO is tired.

**hatchgreenchile** · 03-07-2018, 12:35 PM

I've had some excellent beer in Utah. Whiskey too!

**alev** · 03-07-2018, 12:47 PM

we do not need another thread comparing UT and CO

You know what makes it even better? He's not in Boulder... he's in Highlands Ranch.

Why are you jealous butthurt east coast transplants even posting in this thread?

Isn't there some gay Vail epic thread you could be posting how gnar you are in?

**Danno** · 03-07-2018, 03:00 PM

its pretty simple for me as the host baker
unless you need to check the lcc of some list or have bros that only go there or wanna see pros
its not worth it and i don't even pay
id rather go up north for a day
and ifin the brolorado had better snow vibe or maggots willing to host
the bbi19 would be there
im real glad i started and remain a ocer

The thought of ~2 million people in the valley and ~5 million between Ogden and Spanish Fork is kinda nauseating. Where then? I supposed it will depend on where everyone else moves to in the next 10-20 years. Might have to forgo proximity to lift-served skiing for affordability reasons, but my body would probably thank me for that anyway.

Back to the topic at hand, I wonder how the coming fleets of on-demand autonomous vehicles might change the dynamic. Open an app, yourself and several others get picked up in an optimized order as the car works it's way towards the canyon. Get dropped off, car goes down canyon and repeats or goes elsewhere. Much higher "carpooling" rate, zipper merge gets done much more efficiently, no clueless idiots in 2wd vehicles and bald tires, parking issues largely cease to exist. Cost-wise it might be not much more than it would have cost you in gas to drive yourself up.

no bullshit but im still kinda not in the autonomous car boat quite yet....Guess its the first step in getting us used to our mechanical overlords...Think of it this way..how many times have you had to "reboot" your windows machine for it to magically "work" again normally..what happens when the car computer decides to not "work" correctly? Will there always be an override? you're a passenger though...what good would an override do? Yeah sure...they'll put redundant systems in place, but even redundant systems can fail, and its only worth so much to place redundancy everywhere would just put consumer costs far too high. Redundancy is also only as good as the logic behind it. Ive seen more than enough redundant systems fail due to poor logic. Its neat shit, but we're just arent even close to mass scale yet..start putting 100,000's of those things on the road and you'll start to see their weaknesses pretty quick i'll bet.

[/end thread drift]

Fortunately, the autonomous cars' "weaknesses" will still PALE in comparison to the human drivers' weaknesses. And that will keep us on the right track.
