Then please, allow me and your other brothers and sisters here make it up to you. Having skied the side and back country extensively both then and now, I bet I could wipe all that bad scene memory away.
~~~~~~~~~
For us, initially the boundary poaching was not at all uncomfortable but as a few jerky trollers ascended the ranks, the hassling became real. We pushed back, harder than the few D-bags and eventually got the ropeline issue dropped. '94 was the height of the pitched battle.
I go out when I want, where I want. I try not to antagonize them, but it's no longer in their bailiwick. I do avoid skiing closed areas inbounds these days. That puts me in the wrong and I'd get little or no mercy for that. Nor should I.
If I don't know better by now, It ain't gonna sink in.
- OTOH, skiing Unskiable chute about 4:20 is a thing, if rare...
In fact, now I tend to correct them if possible on where their opinion loses any weight. Honestly, the majority are cool with that. They respect mileage and local knowledge more than hubris.
I don't ask for mercy. I Know better. Just take it on the chin and roll. ~~
~~~~~~~~
The 'C Pass' traverse. Damn that dates you. That would be pre-quad days, (Sublette chair).
You could buy a pass that did not include the Tram back then so everyone cut up and over to the goods via the CpassT.
Sublette Ridge - From the summit to the Base, One of the longest expert runs in the country, easily. 4K vert on phenomenal terrain. Most people never go the distance because of all the 2 diamond options on Pepi's ridge section( Alta chutes, Birdinhand/2innabush, Liquor cabinets).
It's actually Sherrie's slide but I'm calling it Cherry slide from now on.
So much better... My friends are gonna look at me with a WTF? face fo sho.
Christ, I'm hard pressed to remember half the names anyway. Pick any 5 acres and I can show you the Tittaaaaayz line. But I couldn't name shite there.
The NKOTB's could though. They gots a name for every rock and gully these days.
RS was pretty damn sick last Feb. Flashing back just now. Thinking on the SirVic Slide. If yer willing to ride the slide, go fall line not across, heh. My favorite GUARANTEED slideshow.

Skiing by myself, "moderate" risk that day...
Fortunate the terrain mellowed out or I could've been in for a long ride.
Lesson Learned
You ain't as bad ass as you think kid.
Pops was riding with me.
Have to go back out and pay my respects

Jackson Hole 2019-2020 - & The 'Ghee, The King, Kelly Canyon, Pebble Creek
Looking forward to another great season. Sure enjoying the warm temps tho!
For those interested - I take a quick pass lap, (usually up there by 6), once or twice a week in the morning. I’m good for a quick lap at 2:30-3ish once or twice a week during the work week too. Always looking for new partners that have similar work schedules.
See ya at Casper soon, DJ, (we should grab a cold one when you get back too)

Djongo: I have yet to meet you, but how on earth did Jackson Hole and Kelly Canyon get in the same thread title. Pebble Creek is pushing it. The Kelly Canyon marketing "team" must be going crazy.
I passed through the hole yesterday and noticed the MASSIVE new parking lots at the Stilton area. Wassup with that? Ikon is just getting ready to rear it's ugly head.

one of our favorite maggots is a KC regular and he posts lots of stoke from there.
It's also the Stilson lot, not Stilton, but we know what you mean
I love taking the bus from town or stilson fwiw. get dropped right off at the tram base and no dealing with the long walk from the ranch lot or the bumper to bumper sh*tshow at the beginning and end of day
I'm glad we realized we have similar work schedules!skid luxury

response :
out of an abundance of Respect
For Little Big Lost ( "A pic or two... " ) :
One of the (many) Genuinely Quality Men on these forums --
say what you like :
Without little hills like KC , CoffeeMill , and Hardscrabble (RIP) - Soldier mountain , Lost Trail (Powder Mountain)- skiing does actually becomes ( rich man's ... ) or
I will see you in the back-country
( since, apparently, the lawyers for Backcountry(DOTcom) believe backcountry is a proprietary term )
Attaboy To Dj - who wasn't writing about The resort, but for the spirits of skiers and snowboarders :
If you want to see A snowboarder, drive over to KC and see Big Lost doing anything necessary to keep the lifts turning for his Grandkids.
no disrespect to the Core at Jackson Hole . . . and there is a reason Dj included the little hills...
amen, Dj.
ENDs another sermon

You mean you don’t want to ski ice moguls on glory when it hasn’t snowed in 10days . All kidding aside, there is always something to ski even in a short window.
Looking forward to skiing with you....when fishing comes to an end, (never really does).

FKNA Irie PMA right there... Thanks Adi.
And I have solid intel from an old PCreek lifty, now hard pipe hitting JHAF dog that when it dumps there, it's pretty amazing.

~ The Stilton Cheese Lot.
I'm a no-go for the bus. A coupla diggers on the sheet of ice/rink from the car to bus nixed it for me; then overflowing buses on big days, yadayada.
OTOH, getting off and walking right onto the next available tram, well, that's good living right there now.
As if there was gonna be a Kelly Canyon thread; No, we want LBL and the East ID crew on our team. Tons of rippers over behind the Spud Curtain. Didja see Cy's huck from the Diving Board last year? Puhleeeeze.
The bigger the shitshow, the earlier I get up and go. Sometimes only a few runs before I must bolt, not a liftline stander after opening. Will wait for hours for first box, first tracks though. Getting paid in a lump sum of powpow is ok by me.
Soaking after a fun day is truly the cherry on top.
Your current gig, seems way too impressive to dry up. Cruising the Rockies, rolling through Yurp, etc. Even for the village, that's some stiff competition.
A couple of us reeeaaallllyyyy want you to swing by. Just sayin'.
SkiJ- You interested in a day at the Vill.? I'm holding out for ya Mang. We'll hook your Stokey McStoker self anytime...
Pfluffenmeister - looking forward to your visit BIG TIME. We got some genetic similarities, you and I.
~~~~~~~~~~
Historically, the Vill. starts slow. Which is why we'd have preferred they added more days at the end of the season instead of at the beginning. Clucks running the joint. Don't get me started. It would be it's own thread.
2 new names so far: Cherry's Slide and Stilton cheese lot. Luvin' it.
BB, Koko, Schwert, Adi, NYY, Eagle, SIJ, TFT and Mrs. TFT, Cy, MB, WhyT,
aaaaand the big dog, SVS: Look forward to making turns and Partying with all of youse soon.
happytime funbox - we have a serious sesh in memorium on the agenda. I go look at her pic quite often, still hurts pretty bad here.

Last year I was unemployed and got in 75+ days. My girl understands my needs. My kids are teenagers. But, yeah, skiing with you k00ks would be fun.
But my current gig is hosting Linux VMs on the latest Ice Lakes boards, working with Intel and profiling graphics and game performance for a major player in the electronic gaming industry. It's been super fun instrumenting interrupt trackers and video rendering overhead, but not on a product track, just farting around, making stuff up to try and understand where bandwidth gets consumed in virtualized environments. Most of the time, VMs are run on servers doing disk and network accesses, so this is a different slice, fresh tech ground so to speak. Lots of tweezing boot sequences between hypervisors and oses. I hope they'll give me some flex since I'm just contracting for now.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

Not much to see at Pebble. And the new owners have put some cash back into a very old lift system.

Telehacker - Hell yes, Bring us some stoke from your stomping grounds. Represent the SE Spudrovian Mags. Hope to see some pics of the goods.
11's - Damn fine quiver there. I was just down to the Igneous factory a coupla weeks ago,( before my mini vacay)and caught up with Mike and Yoshi. Odds are good I saw yer new boards in the rack or en route to the press. Lots of stunning rides this Fall. What build did you get and what veneer?
I almost uploaded a photo of the Candy/Porn skis. Banned from the tram dock... that's saying something.

You’ll love the new sticks, 11’s!! Eagerly awaiting some new skis from Parris too. New design. (More of a big tweak on an older shape). Going light core with carbon. New uphill oriented gear for me.
Parris and co make fantastic skis!

I went w the RPK 108 w a Chen-Chen top sheet. My FFL & FGS are over 10 yrs old and I needed a ski that will be a bit more forgiving on my 50 yr old body.
why make ten turns when you only need to make NONE!

Jackson Hole 2019-2020 - & The 'Ghee, The King, Kelly Canyon, Pebble Creek
Great ski! I borrowed the 92 waist RPK for. Parris a few times last year. Tons of fun. Haven’t skied the bigger version but I’m sure it’ll be just as much fun.
I retired a set of FGS from the early 2000’s a few years back. Fun ski. Shape was a little dated at the end but the ski had life for a LONG time.

Any caretakers or those connected to second home owners need any snow removal maintenance this upcoming season? Plowing, snowblowing and shoveling.
