Burke Mountain Academy in the sag:

"To make the hardest and ideal surface for elite athletes, table salt was scattered on the slopes used."

I should have clarified - The airs they were throwing are impressive anywhere, and especially so in that terrain. I can't do most of that stuff even in a manicured park, and certainly not in the back country. So I do respect that aspect of the video.

But the turns were ugly. Real ugly. The shots of them skiing the headwall is pretty standard stuff anybody can go see from 90% of the skiers up there on any spring day in the bowl. It's just not special.

Plus, that one part where the dude dropped the waterfall (normally known as the icefall, but in this video almost totally melted out) - I expected him to plunge through a water hole when he landed. That is straight up stupid skiing, particularly in light of some of the incidents up there this spring.

I'm def not knocking anybody for doing what they love. I'm glad they're out there doing it. But it was not, in my opinion, what I have come to expect from STE videos. While it didn't come across clearly in my first post, the comment is intended more to be an observation of the content STE is putting out, than on the skills of athletes (although here those two things are very closely related).

Those conditions on george were not great. Well, they were typical for that time of year, so considering that it was solid skiing on shit conditions. I get what you're saying about the icefall scene, but anyone trying to mimic any ski flick line best have their shit in order and know their abilities...or lack thereof in this FB world.

I see the point that when the conditions are shit and you push the filming, it doesn’t feel as up to par as some of their past efforts. The kid in the mustard jacket is solid either way.

and this here kid goes south for mothers day..
still hoping for another day on SS

South for Mothers day, Wedding Ranger, what are we going to do with you? Next weekend looking good as well

"Jimmy holds the tannis root"

Ready to roll early, made a loaf of sammiches to grill and got some spensive fake sausages to grill, beer as usual. See you kooks there in the AM.

Let's Party!

Groomer paradise . . . at least for a little while.

Cake today....

[Bottleman]

Always brightens my day when I see MrsG. reat seeing you last Sunday.

The cake is surprisingly good an worth the trip up the hill if you are nearby.

Will be there with Buttah, Peruvian, Biggins (Sunday) and Goniff and a cast of other characters both days.

Bottleman, you and Mrs. B need to make the trip south. I have one RFID card if you want to save the $5.

That's awfully kind of you. Wish we could make it! I'd list the litany of reasons we will not be in attendance but that would only serve to piss off the Peruvian.

Git some!

[buttahflake]

What a day! Had to bail early, great skiing with a crew of fun loving maggots!

well, we don't leave till 2, but one wrong move and I could be set back 22 days of recovery.... just checked the refrigerator where magnets hold important shit and besides June 9th there's another out of state wedding June 22...w.t.f......anyway, didn't want yas to think I just ignore infestations on kton.
Now the Bottledude can be cut some slack... this is his second 100 day year in a row and there's a garden to start..or something like that..
What a day ...have fun out there, I'm sure it's already started...

You mean kooks besides him??

Haha ^^^^ Says the guy who skis in dress slacks


Funniest kook was at the top of Superstar when the lift stopped for a minute 2 chairs from unloading. Some pole-less skier standing on the top of the glacier to his buddy with the expensive video camera loudly "I don't want to ski bumps!" when that's all there was. We starting laughing [loudly] and owns it with a double devil hand wag.

A fun day of skiing, eating, drinking and yacking was had along with some cake, good but not as moist as Guy in Shorts cake last week.



MNIAW getting the early flat snow, which lasted 3 runs






Goniff bumping along



And threading the crowds



Buttaflake left without saying goodbye, so I texted him, as he replied "An Irish Goodbye"



Someone left this near us for an hour or so, still there when I left, where's your other boot?



A young kook shuffling a hundred yards on the dirt and rocks






See you all in the morning!

Oh and Brad from Albany, you a poster?

[biggins]

Sounds like someone made some bad decisions at Tux today. Hope he's ok. Oy vey.

It wasn't the guy who skis side saddle, that always brings first pour.
