Also, I love the Lincoln Loop but Richards main claim was that he skied the same line Goguen and others had, but skied it more cleanly. Other than the Lincoln loop, it was not inspiring and there were fewer hits than others. If the commentators aren't fired up for a run, it shouldn't make the podium,...

It was just so inconsistent. There seemed to be zero penalty for anyone backslapping off the diving board air. There seeems to be zero reward for line score any more. It used to be the driving factor.
I would suggest no scoring for Linescore until the event is over, and then having deductions...

Get those funbets in. My experience has been they close a bit before the start

Is splat still with us?

I have a buddy high up in the contest scene here and I asked him who to watch out for next year (this was last summer). He said Joey Leonardo

Some clips from recent skiing. Alittle Alpine and then taking Whiskey up about as far as he can go on Jakes.

No idea. Turning up Crest there was a white pickup with it's ass in one bank and it's nose in the other with cars waiting above and below so I found alternate parking much lower....

It was also great where they were blowing. Smoothest bestest snow I've ever had on East Creek/Weasel right through the guns.

Probably one of my best days at Alpine. I avoid it on big pow days and go BC but I felt this would be a sleeper, and it was. First tracks down Art's Knob from the top after two runs on Sherwood, and I didn't get to the resort until 9:25. Then an untracked lower Promised Land before it opened from the...

The FunBet site is up and running. It's asking me to make my bets now, but I don't know how that work without a league being set up.

Spent the afternoon lapping Scott chair and things were filling in nicely with mostly heavy snow showers the whole time. A nice prelude to what appears to be a slightly wetter than forecast storm overnight. Tomorrow could be otay in a good way.
Some fun from Sunday Monday. Headed up Rubicon early...

The one that's been parked in the Safeway lot for the past 5 years?...

So it looks like Baqueira is mostly open but only 50cm base. How does that relate to the contest face? Its still almost three weeks out so let's hope for more.
The FunBet site does not appear to be ready yet....

I think the Gray area is just the clickable layer for the Round Top link because now that's gone

[powdork]

I feel pretty safe saying everything above 9K is very filled in, and the couloir starts at like 9800'

Also, what's up with Google Maps? When you look at Round Top zoomed in to satellite view there is a giant grey blob covering the peak. Only shows up on my pc

Seems almost like we don't need to post when she wins now. Super cool seeing her, Rast, and Coulturi getting along so well after the race

Probably the same video I saw. Here it is with words

Is anyone going to mention the line at Palisades friday for exhibition?
Edit - apparently the video was from yesterday morning and purported that there was a 5 hour line for the upper mountain
