Proof that even if the forum is technically a train wreck, there is still gold here Jerry! Nice one 2funky.
As I understand Plake doesn't drink or do drugs and is still skiing pretty good I think
Got sober a long time ago. We talked about it. Both said best thing ever.
So he had been a drinker or a smoker, I have never met him but I somehow thot he just never did ?
If you read his story it's been mentioned a bit. Went semi loco back in the day. Was technically on the run when filmed blizzard. Did a short stint in the clink i think I read. Prob been sober for 35 ish yrs. Man of the Lord I think.
For ppl like us it's either sober or some form of a fucking mess.
Yeah I havent read his story, IMO it good if you can recognise that ^^ before you should quit before you fuck up too much, YMMV as they say so I recognise just buying my wine by the case saves time & gas money
Yep takes one to know one. Plake is the man and radder than 99% of the planet WITHOUT the sauce.
Plake got his pow fixin’ yesterday. dude played Idaho well
Thread started as a depressing “meh” and now we get some Plake pics and recent sightings and interactions. Love it!
He hosted a [emoji640]x[emoji640] tv show years ago that I loved. People used their own rigs to try and tackle a course.

Found this a few months ago.

We were in Chamonix a few years ago outside the guide office and someone mentioned Blizzard of Ahs and Glenn, and Glenn walked by.(Same trip waiting for the Tram at Grandes Montets --"see that guy--he won the FWT/ See that woman--she won an Olympic medal in the 50's." Interesting place, Chamonix)
Every time I see him post on Instagram, he makes me smile. He is truly one of a kind. Maybe one day I'll actually meet him.
Just listened to a couple year old Powell Movement podcast with Plake. Good history including his outlaw days crammed into an hour. Worth a listen. Just missed him at three different ski areas by a day or two each last week. Would have been cool to take a few laps with the posse on my home hills. Met him 20 or so years ago at Kirkwood and he was a super cool and gracious guy to chat with for the few minutes I got to.
Nobody isn't posting in this thread. Too bad or he would learn all about Glen Plake.
Couldn’t help but notice that GP was rocking his PSIA pin.
My buddy took his level 2 exam with Plake. They both passed.
I remember.
Dude is a legend.
Love that he's still skiing and touring around.
It's like he's still a ski bum.
did he score a clipped ticket? if so, ya know hes still bumming it…
Similar story to old goat. Was in chamonix a few years ago hanging in the courtyard in front of the aiguille du midi after a day of skiing and Plake walks by with a new pair of skis he's taking to Concept to get mounted. We talked for a few minutes, mentioned that we had met him a bunch of years ago when he was doing his tour stopping at small east coast ski areas and shops. During that tour, I was working at a shop at the time and got to hang with him for a while there, then my brother ended up taking some park laps with him and was trying to teach him how to 270 onto a rail or something. The guy's stoke for skiing is eternal. A few of us have also ended up getting some shop work done at Concept, cause if they're good enough for Plake, then they're probably a shop worth supporting.
