Always wanted to do the trap dyke in the winter, such a cool trip
It's more of a spring thing, but if I can't get the Grand this year, fuck it - I'm getting too old for that shit.

This winter I hope to do the 5 hour hike to earn some turns down this. VVP coloir off the Army Tourism Peak, Cheget mountain, North Caucasus.
Probably not this season, but one day.

From the pic the PR line looks sketchy as hell... However, the CMF, EH, SR and SEH line look funs as shit...!Quote:

(Climax/Hangman's area. Not sure if any of it is ever actually open, and if a lot of that is bigger than it looks, but it certainly gets my eye every time I get on the gondy...)
Snowbird Day 1:

(Either variation probably wouldn't score well unless skied at 110+ mph, but that's about the best I can do!)
Did Gordys camp and skied the shit out of that hole are with Marcus Caston... Great guy and killer skier and skiing with him was humbling as fuck...! That whole area was an absolute blast and the snow was farily legit considering the lack of snowfall... The small choke up at the top just under the tower was a blind entry and exit and our group did rock, papers, scissors to see who was going first... Good times were def had... We lapped it 4 times and by the last run and it being the end of the day the legs said it was time for a beer...
Been trying to get there for a few years. See also my avatar. And this video starting at 4:17 (rest of vid is good too, especially her skiing the 45-50 degree Canale Holzer very fast above the ice bulge at 3:02):Quote:

As Ms. Monego says, some of them are essentially lift served. You all owe it to yourselves to make it over there. I'm not sure I'll be making the annual trip any more as my step father, who'd been living there in the winter, is dealing with stage 4 cancer. Hopefully we get a few more days like this together:Quote:

Is anyone on TGR even a good skier? You all post lines that you would never even attempt even though they are easy lines, and you pretend you're going to ski them this winter even though you can't... why do you pretend?
I am going to ski For Pete's Sake this winter.

Looks great. How fast does it get tracked out? Do you have to ski it the very first day after snowfall?Quote:
