Don’t get me wrong, I got right back on those Belafonte’s after 5 years off and tore it up even with my limited strength. Just would be a bit easier to not have to push that all around now and a Deathwish would be primoQuote:

Hope it works out better than the Molotov-Ribentropp Pact.
Nothing about parking, traffic, or respect for local culture. It's aimed at the "I schedule my powder days a year ahead" crowd, i.e. big spenders that might hesitate to pick Squaw from the menu of global options because they have a rep for shutting down when there's too much biscuits. The colonial overlords speaking to the citizens of the metropole, promising them a smooth overrunning of the natives. The answer, as always, to the real challenges of political dialogue as well as the fact that you can't always get what you want, is more hype.Quote:

That should eliminate 40-50 parking spaces over by the uniform shack.Quote:

It's been more'n a week since I last skied, so I motivated and attempted to locate this sweet looking patch I've been eying from my crib for a few months. My poor geographical skills led me to believe it was still clinging to Silver Peak, but a drive up to Pole Creek quickly proved me wrong. A coupla roads that have hitherto been closed/gated the past several summers, were, in fact, open, so I did some 4X4 exploration, but still couldn't locate the snow I'd been looking at from afar.
I did "stumble" upon the Bradley Hut. That place is kinda swank for a BC hut, imho (I've only ever stayed in a bare bones yurt and this was a full-tilt cabin) Plus, it has a frickin' DOUBLE-DECKER SHITTER (albeit, I got skunked on that too, as it's closed and you now have to (literally) pack out ALL of your own shit). Gonna have to rally a crew to reserve that sucker for a winter excursion as there's some great lines out there.

Looks like I'mma have to return to Basin Peak tomorrow to hit a patch I saw on the last go-around (and to appease the soul after getting skunked today...I did make $77 on recyclables, though, so that's kind of a win...)
Hey Dookie,
Grubb hut has a double-decker as well, if you're heading to Basin Peak. Maybe you'll get lucky and it'll be open. No TR necessary, tho.
Ran into the dude who created that video clip for Squaw at June Lake Brewing yesterday (Saturday). He was definitely drinking the koolaid.
Dooks, obvious skiable patches close to the road on both Sonora and Tioga if you need to get a few to keep TAY going. Obviously a much longer drive.
FKNA dude, that is some shit. Glad to hear you made it back. 666 or melee - hook a brother up!Quote:

For example, if you've been running routes on Keyhole and High Yellow, wouldn't it make sense and be safer to stick with your route rather than go run routes on Granite or Mainline Pocket?"
Him: "Yeah, I suppose so."
Me: "Ok cool. Got it."
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Note: I can see some instances where integration of patrol would be helpful. I just don't see it as some crazy groundbreaking thing. Like I said, dude was drinking the Renaissance koolaid. Don't knock JLB, their beverages had nothing to do with it. [emoji6] )

I can see the idea of patrollers going back and forth maybe being useful in some cases...... but if that’s the case why did it take KSL over half a decade to implement?
Vail already does this.

great pics. Thanks for posting.
The bottom pic totally confused me because it looks like a pic I took. Then I realized it was. I forgot that I posted it!
Yeah sorry! All these shots I posted here I was able to download from the thread - I didn't take any of them and apologize to all the photographers whose identities have been lost by my downloading.Quote:
