A-Basin skiers can eat a bag of dicks

[Danno]

Yeah, this is still going.

!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS THE ABAY 22-23 OFFICIAL STOKE THREAD!!!!!!!

why just 22-23, this should just be the permanent Basin thread, just like the clusterfuck thread became the permanent Eldora thread.

[adrenalated]

That's about right.

Word on the street is he's coaching the junior freeride team with Eben this season. My kid is stoked! (but I told him not to try and keep up with Ken on the steeps)

Also tell him that if Ken does something, makes it look easy, then yells up "Damn, that was hairball!" definitely DO NOT try it. Ask me how I know.

Sounds like a haul rope splice will be taking place this week. Hope they can get this thing wrapped up here soon

Everyone makes that mistake.

Once.

[Skistack]

Anyone think there’s a chance of it spinning this weekend?

If they haven't spliced a haul rope that means they still need to load a bunch of chairs, load test and get a sign off. No way that happens inside a week.

I'd say it will be maybe possible to have lift open by first weekend in December.

I have no clue how long it takes to certify and if they have to schedule some kind of specialized certifier or what, and have them fly in or something...

Put on the foil for the AB WROD...

Tang doesn't post much, but I like the way he thinks. Putting on the foil is a pretty standard response of mine to a variety of situations.

the butt hurt isoverwhelming
I almost feel bad for everyone with a severe case of the butthurt
if your not having fun when your skiing your doing something wrong

Agreed, and if you can't figure out how to ski on a crowded trail with ski racers doing drills (meaning you're an idiot or you just suck), then you get an extra bag of dicks.

Can I eat a bag of dicks even if I don't ski ABay?

Pretty sure there's more than enough dick to go around.

If there were only a dozen places (if that) with soccer fields available at the beginning of the season, you'd have a lot of soccer players. Same deal with ski racing, particularly as the early part of the season has gotten tougher for finding snow in the past couple of decades (or maybe I'm just getting old and nostalgic). Yes, groups of teenagers can be annoying, but I don't think ski racers are any worse (or better) than most other categories of teenager.

And even if you have a lane rented, you're still using the open pistes for drills.

Finally, if you think American ski racers are bad, you should try dealing with the Italians.

All of this is true, and again, I've been on the other side of this numerous times--freeskiing crowded WROD places with race teams, and just like everyone else who isn't skiing the way you'd prefer you just deal with it. Never had an issue, or even close to an issue, but the Abay douchebag quotient was just way too high for things to work well.

Same routine at Sunday River right now and so much better. No bags of dicks necessary here, even with less terrain open.

Sunday River?

I’d rather eat a bag of dicks

[Dexter Rutecki]

Meh, not much different from what was skiable at Abay/Loveland last week. Besides, who doesn't love spending time in ME in November...

If it actually snows, the place has a lot of good skiing to be had. It just doesn't happen all that often that we get a base built up and then get fresh snow on top without either a non crystalline precip event, a thaw/freeze cycle, or both.

How about those two Great Pyrenees that have been regulars in the parking lot?

They would feed a lot more people than a bag of dicks and you could make furry parkas from their skins

Yeah, not really what I was thinking.

Just thought they were not only enormous, but super cute and friendly.
But I like all dogs

This thread feels like the good old days of TGR forums, circa mid/early 2000’s. Good to know it’s still possible.

We need a TR of skiing on grass to complete the throwback.
