snowboard talk/BS

damn! everyone is hurting this season!!

 

ya that chair was only open so you can go from the lodge on the far side over to the middle of the mountain. But very little coverage between all the new learners playing with their christmas gear and the rocky snow my board is gonna needs some major tlc

 

dang! we still not open damn global warming. but temps are dropping by allot this week. so maybe soon. i’m just pissed. i spent $275 for season pass and the parking pass. new pants. $135. goggles=$169. and gloves. $47 with shipping. that are yet to come. they wear on back order. but they are like a tennis ball color or something. lol

 

well its still early into winter and its supposed to be another cold year... or so I'm told. lime green pants should make it easy to find you

 

yeah. not so much here. they usually close in march. last season it was middle feb. because e had like 3 or 4 days in the mid 50’s and like 50. and yeah they would. i got black pants only color they had in those pants. and a blue north face jacket. i will get a new jacket next season. and thats why i got the color gloves i did. stand out. i got these gloves. they have a goggle and nose wipe. lol http://shop.ccs.com/product/model:165974/sku:64-03189/dc-seger-glove-mens/?cm=Snow and i thought about these same glove just diff color. http://shop.ccs.com/product/model:164798/sku:64-03032/dc-seger-gloves-mens/red/black/?cm=Snow

 

early into winter my ass...this time last year i was riding a 2ft blower day at BOGUS (doesen't happen often) brundage was pushing 3ft of pow

normally by this time every resort should be 100% open with 100% of terrain rideable, but my close local resort has GRASS still showing through on the main slope. im probably not going to get to ride the good backside parts untill the middle of February unless it just dumps

 

no lie, ive been in northern cali since the 15th of december and now i gotta head back to germany and do some boarding over there, oh well looks like i have this to look forward to when i get back, will be in german so translate the pages

Been riding powder almost everyday here. 2 great laps OB today, all powder. Sketchy avy conditions exist right now but good snow everywhere if you know where to go. Large slides going off OB at JHMR, pretty crazy to check out.

 

they are making snow here...planning on going riding on wednesday. i think they will have about 3 beginner trails open 1 or 2 intermediate and 1 advanced

 

lucky man

 

Skiing FTW

 

whynot just stay in SLC? There's like 9 resorts right there...

ouch!

I wanna go...nah can't go wed tho

 

im sure many of you guys have seen this harassment of 2 boarders at snowbasin caught on tape. their facebook page has absolutely exploded and anything they post gets turned into a massive shit storm on the resort for this incident. their "apology" post has 700 replies in it, and about 90% of thoes replies are angry comments about the resort and its snow attitude, or people calling for the guy's job. The reason the boarders got stopped is totaly illogical and unreasonable, and they way the ski patrol guy and the ski team "instructor" handled the situation was so disrespectful and unprofessional is is disgusting and aggravating.

Only rode there a few times....always liked powder MTn n Solitude....most times no one was there...glad they caught it on tape. Ol dudes got caught slippin via go pro...haha

 

go pro FTMFW!

fuck those douchenuckles! did you guys see them doing anything really worth that much hurassment? dudes were just f'in around on some side features not causing any immediate danger to those around them...they weren't cutting them off or spraying them or straightlining it down the trail...

so speed...NO
endangering others...NO
enjoying the crappy snow conditions and lack of open terrain...FYeah!

i'm sure everyone at that mountain aren't like those two, but they definitely gave the whole mountain a bad wrap amongst our generation of skiers and boarders...so many other better options to ride at in Utah, so hopefully they have access to different mountains and find a better shred spot...

another reason why i love the backcountry!

 

bahahahahahahaha....says the guy from florida...

 

you said it!





our snowpack is weak right now and it will be a bittersweet welcome for the next big dump as many faces will be releasing with any big snowfall...

pics taken from last weekend riding berthoud pass...1-2 foot crown ripped almost 100 feet across...triggered by a rider doing an area that should not be ridden with the current conditions

 

Rather go to Jackson hole. Lol

 

Teton Pass rode well today, splitted up for two runs off Bear Claw. Both were north facing and untracked powder the whole way down. No slides were set off or noticed, but the snowpack is still unstable and still sketchy. Another good day here, but now its 45 degrees at the base of JHMR where i live and sun for a few more days. Not the greatest winter Ive had out here but still no complaints!!

 

hell yea! way to get out there and get it done!

glad you guys are having an ok beginning to the year...south of ya is still hurtin... and more and more avalanches popping up are showing just how sketchy our situation is becoming...

another slide at berthoud pass occurred on sunday...HUGE one! one caught and buried, but luckily his head ended above the snow...but suffered broken ribs but he got through it luckily..
