If you're any good at snowboarding you'll be ripping on skis pretty quickly. And once you learn how much more versitile and easier it is to get to the good stuff you'll never go back. Alta is doing you a favor.Quote:

Penis-optional?
Alta is for strap-ons. Maybe a wider strap-on, with a little early-rise in just the tip?
deeeply profound jong

my take away is snoreboarders are transgender, is Bruce Jenner in on this?
Ol' Naziville was skiing pretty well today for November. Meanwhile the bird's big groomer looked like the white ribbon of jong death from the LCC road.
Whoa, let's not go and insult transgender people by comparing them with slow boarders. It's 2015, bro.Quote:

I konw that there is not a single snow boarder involved in this thread who actually cares what the law IS, or why it is that way. Nonetheless, it is what it is for some exceedingly good reasons that have to do with issues FAR weightier than whether you get to do business with a particular lift operating company, and if the law changed so that this ridiculous lawsuit were to be successful, it would screw up so many other things in the law, so at least take solace that you are suffering the denial of rights you never had, and being discirminate against in ways that absolutely do not matter, for the greater good. Then again, if the plaintiffs and their lawyers gave a rat's ass about the greater good, they wouldn't have brought this suit in the first place.
Did you just suggest snow shoes are better than skins? I assume by MSR you meant MSR snow shoes.......Quote:

Sarcasm right? This may win the award for the most bat shit crazy ingora-tarded comment on all of the interwebs for the year, a year when Trump's been opening his pie hole a lot...Quote:

Here's how it looks from an outsiders point of view;
Jimmy and Tommy are playing Hotwheels over at at Jimmy's house, both are 6 years old. Tommy comes home crying, and sobbingly tells his mother that Jimmy wont let him play with his firetruck. But, but MOMMY! He wont let me pway wif his fiwertwuck! Mom reply's, but doesn't Jimmy have a lot of Hotwheels you could play with, like the corvette, mustang, dump truck, ambulance, roadster, baja bug, ferrari, bulldozer, ice cream truck, t-bucket, tank, jeep, tri-car, mercedes, cobra, firebird, shadow-jet? Yes, but I WANNA PWAY WIF HIS FIRETRUCK!!!!!! WAAAA, WAAA,WAAAA!!!!!!!!!! C'mon Tommy, he has so many Hotwheels, you could play with, his school bus, gt racer, vw bug, ford coupe, charger, twinmill, you could play with the snake or mongoose. Snif, snif, I WANT THE FIRE TRUCK! But he has the american victory, monza, gremlin grinder, 911, super van, funny car, highway patrol, science frictio, turbostreak, hyperliner, overbored 454, nissan z ,jaded...I wanna play with his firetruck!!!! Tommy stomps off to his room without being able to play with Hotwheels because he a sniffling little crying bitch. Cool story 'eh?

Twinmill, that was a fkn kewl car.
keep it going for the old nazi fucks at Alta.
assholes.
bumpily
At least in SLC, boarders have plenty of options. Where I grew up (Cincinnati area), Perfect North was the only place within 3 hours of driving, and snowboards were banned. Today, I'd probably be a snowboarder instead of a skiier, but I'm too old to switch now.
Alta is for skiers!
Those Nazi fucks!!!
Let it go, plenty of good places to both ski and shred.
You let it go. Some of us want to shred MRG, DV, and even Alta. BUMP.Quote:

What if I'm a person with a disability? How do I get around the ski Nazi guard at MRG's lifts (even that silly one that is just a single seat)? Why are they such national socialists about a monoplank versus dual planks? What does stance have to do with anything?Quote:

Alta definitely attracts racists. Don't believe me? Scroll on alta's IG page to this past January when they celebrated the first woman to be elected VP and read through all the backlash they received from their patrons. Or how upper management kept the marketing team from posting anything about the black lives matter protests last summer (while most ski resorts at least acknowledged it). That place is full of crusty old racist white people.
You'd never see that sort of ethnocentric behavior at Magic Mountain or on their social media outlets. I just want to ride the single chair so I can say that the red chair is a better lift and serves gnarlier terrain. But I guess being a lifelong Reagan Republican who snowboards is "too woke" for the ski Nazis at MRG.Quote:

Powder skirts under their jackets. So sad to still be living closeted.

Even more insufferable than random Alta idiots posting on instagram is folks highlighting what they're saying as some reflection on anything that matters, especially a ski area.
Tell me you're racist without telling me you're racist.
Cause y'all doing a job at showing off your racism
That sounds pretty racist if you want to know the truth.:rolleyes:Quote:
