snowboard talk/BS

what kind of BC? Like steep shit? Tight glades? Generic slopes? Do you hike out to it or ride a sled? Got any pics?

 

lucky bas****! i think ober only has one black diamond. MAYBE 2. and we hardly ever get powder!!

 

Yeah I do. Gimme a bit

We hike up and ride down

 

I gotta go brappin' tomorrow, so i'm out. but i'm looking forward to those pics!

 

This is Ymir Peak (7,800 feet). It sits right above out Ski Resort. Ive hiked to the top of the peak from the top of the chair lift. I didnt go down the face of it cause it looked like it was a straight wall down We took a line down the left side (skiers right) into the bowl and back to the lodge.



Heres on the way up to where i took that picture ^









Heres another angle of the peak. You can also see the skihill and the runs on the left side.





Heres a shack someone built at the top of one of the shoulders

 

BC is where it's at for sure. Colorado crowds can get annoying and it's nice to split and get away to some open terrain.

Usually buy two passes but thinking this year of just saving $ and find some bc riders and explore more.

 

We started last season with five days in a row with 20+ inces of fresh powder each day. The skiing was the biggest reason my family moved up here to Alaska. Where in Tennessee is the ski resort? I didnt even know you guys got any snow

 

it’s in gatlinburg TN. (east TN) close/in the smoky mountains.


TN is kinda layout like this. west is pretty flat. get to Nashville and you get to the plateau and pretty much just rolling hills to knoxville. east of knoxville you start to get to the valleys and mountains. than you hit NC.

 

siiiiick

thats the one i was thinking about then...i know i had seen one coming out this year but when i searched it came up with his from 2010

 

2:53 is at the resort I ski almost everyday. fuckin Alaska I wish I could live there...

 

You guys down in the lower 48 are meannnn. Thats the same feedback when I posted our resorts snowfall total this year (950" btw) I think jealousy/envy is a deadly sin...

 

yea it's 1000% jealousy haha...

AK is where white dreams were made from

 

don't get me wrong, Colorado has some amazing terrain and great snow, but 350" avg compared to 900" avg is not even a fair game

 

this is the closest thing i have to AK..

I've been there! Don't get me wrong, Alaska is pretty damn amazing but it's a lot of fun for me visiting other resorts across the country. And I bet 350" of the snow you get down in the states is just as fun as the 900" we get up here. A lot of our snow falls when it's 31 degrees and turns to cement half way down the mountain.

EDIT: and it's a pretty small resort too. Very aggressive and steep but fairly small.
