Ultimate Ski/Snowboard Interest thread!!!

they got some good snow right before we got there. surprisingly i want to say they were only at 100" or so. still not as much as usual. But i agree, snowbird is awesome when there is nice fresh snow! Brighton is cool because its much cheaper, and less crowded.

 

Working out of Steamboat for the past week. went out with one of the resort bloggers yesterday for some photos. Who knew 3 inches could be so pleasing?

 

Alaska is so low on snow right now it isn't even funny.. Only like 350" total so far. It should be like 600+" by now

 

That's what she said

Nice pics... looks like fun

 

i miss steamboat

used to go up there a bunch...not so much anymore..life is getting a bit hectic during the good season to make a trip up there

 

$124 for a day pass at the boat. How the hell does the general public afford to ski? Thank god for buddy passes

 

That's so many places anymore. 70 plus for a day pass. Then you get there and spend half your time waiting in lines. It's why I only get a weekday pass and go backcountry on the weekends. I can't stand crowds and playing avoid-a-rider inbounds

 

last time i went up there i took the split to the base of storm peak then stayed high

 

100" base i'm assuming?...

...i remember in 2008, i went to snowbird and skiied memorial day weekend

 

beautiful! steamboat is the real deal, ...i'm lucky enough to have experienced conditions like that there!

 

That was plan b. uphill traffic is accepted there. Watched people going up under the gondola.

Two more pics from today.

 

here's a pic i took at steamboat in 2006... it was snowing quite heavily at the time, ...i did some contrast enhancement and added coloration effects to give it an "erie" appearance

anyone care to guess where it was taken on the mountain?

 

we've gotten 85" of snow up in Alaska in the past five days and I'm not there to enjoy it!!! Gahhhhhhhhh!

 

kuss cruise

 

nope... hint: look to storm peak

 

I live in Steamboat, pretty special place to live. Worked as a night janitor for two seasons, skied over 150 days a year. Not really wanting to leave!

 

oh steamboat winter.

 

Man I'm itching to get some turns in now.... Stupid summer and 100* days.. Although I may be hanging tele skiing up, might have to just re mount my Rory Silvias I just got last season. My right knee has been giving me a problem all summer... I'm affraid to know what's wrong with it so tele skiing might be out. Maybe I'll jump back to snowboarding with an Icelantic split.

 

do it! wish i got more days on mine...fucker is fun!

 

Friendly reminder that we are less than 4 months away from ski season!
