I will make it over for sure, although it might just be a wax room sesh to start out. I’m getting over hip surgery that I had this summer. Too much wallowing around in waist deep snow last season! I’m still at Targhee though so if Djongo or @homemadesalsa need a ticket fix let me know.Quote:

On another note: Teton Brown released his Clip/video/edit (or whatever you call it depending on your vintage) it's a must watch especially his last day which included 3 lines that would be season-makers/lifetime achievements on their own by any measure.

Can't wait for the upcoming total immersion that is winter in JH.
Wydaho mags!! I’ll be lurking in this thread as always. Hoping to be up in your zone a few times this year. Here’s to a quick start and another solid year!
Keep the stoke high!!
Hey Wydaho mags!
Thinking about heading up to your part of the country for some early season touring...25 short, the ghee, or east angle next weekend.
Anyone wanna get out? Avy2, safe, chill, full of opinions on coffee

Interestin watching that TBrown viddy.
First thing is this: That's what it takes to really max out the skiing here in a good year. Coverage comes and goes, avy is higher often and being in shape physically, but even more mentally.
He skis some tough lines and variations but when you get the POV it's obvious that he's nailing the conditions and things are 'easier' by a small measure. (dontstart)
And giving us the POV is the ticket.
He's got a solid technique, and the mental commitment is really admirable. Total confidence is paramount, and it pays with a list of sweet accomplishments.
Looking at the list, most of that stuff has been skied for years with some exceptions, which are often unskiable until tits conditions both for the season and that day. It's a real job to have your shit dialed this tight, and to deliver the goods when they present themselves.
I've got a few lines Inbounds that I'd like to suggest to him. Stuff long forgotten but occasionally skied back in the day.
I'd start with Tower 4 cliffs. Not hard but ballsy.
Unskiable chute to cliff over the cave into upper toilet bowl.
Triple direct skiers right of T3 offa the rock buttress onto steep double fall line into the trees...
Sketched me to see him standing on the cornice where Bryce fell.
RIP young ripper.
Hate to be that guy but after of plenty of search function scouring I’m looking for 2023 bootfitting recommendations in the area. I feel like I’ve never had a proper boot fitting experience but I want to get it right this time. Interested in Zipfits but just want some expertise. In town, the village, or over the pass if it’s worth it let me know what you think.
I’ve had good luck at TVS in the village.
Last couple times I’ve requested Matt Sheets. Also had a good experience with Grant.

Indeed mag, That was maybe my favorite shot. Him shaving up onto that huge wave is rad.
I wish I could extract just that part and post it up. It's one of the best runs I've ever seen in Once.
I've skied it in some really shitfuck conditions and the entry can be hairball. He makes it look so easy.

You ain't the only one to drop into some shit f snow in Once! It gets crusty. I remember a fatal fall in there with a young female skier in the mid 2000's I believe. It's steep!Quote:

Great skiing and lines - but who is he talking to? Ha. I got the impression he's just interviewing himself in this self made movie and pretending the cameraman is asking him random questions about the season.Quote:

If you're in Teton Valley I highly recommend Peaked Sports. Helps to make an appointment.Quote:

I very well may, was just wondering if I was getting bounced for lack of jean.
In honor of newt I recommend a Hawaiian shirt over your ski jacket. In jeans.
A new marketing ploy to keep the world thinking the locals are a bunch of Hicks.
Zero locals ski in jeans.
Condescension from the masses is met with a laugh or growl as we ski away from the clucks.
Just like co-opting gaper day, which was always locals making fun of the tourist clownshow.
Nowadays the new kid wanna be locals are the tourist clownshow (see tram operators).
Or a competition to ascend the King enough times to say 'I climbed the height of Everest'.
Management is becoming a bunch of tourists too.
We do our best to ignore this crap.
I think they've done away with the Coombs/Marmot event since they switched suppliers from Marmot to Mammut.
Thought for sure that they'd change the Marmot chair to the Mammut chair.
Ski in Peace, Brent.
So sad. The normalization so skiing moving down the list in priorities is a bit strange. But it's OK, the radness of skiing needs no help.Quote:

Yeah Djongo. I get it. It’s all marketing.
They picked up on the Cheney skis in jeans meme.
Which is almost as funny as michael cares.
For those that are able to ski that day, rock a Hawaiian shirt. To honor Brent newt newton and his boys Owen and Warren. And give a shout out to Sheryl if she has the day off and can ski the village.
Stoke is best when it’s organic. This seems a bit forced and contrived. Corporations gonna sellout. Always have always will.
Edit
If it’s a mediocre ski day I say get locals to make it a gaper fools early day. Jeans. Fruit booting. Saucer boy etc.
make the rich people uncomfortable.

That's the plan, I says.
It skis fucking awesome actually but the looks I get, casually rolling into the tramline can be pretty fucking funny.
Peeps whispering and pointing. I'm usually rocking out to the tunes so they think I'm clued out.
Then they look at the long OG LPRs and think this can't be good.
I'll back them all in, GTFO Jerry.

Hope to ski w some of you cats on jean day. I'll probably head down Thur eve, tour the pass Friday, casual lift ski Saturday taking in the new and improved jxn. Been 20 yrs since I've ridden a lift at the village.
If it's a gong show I'll drink coffee at the base and take it all in.
Dinner on me DJ you're a rad dude.
DJ how could u forget? Zero locals ski in jeans.
The one and only Cheney skis in jeans. Always wanted one of those stickers.
Pebble creek is 75 this year. Hope your winter is 1/4 as good as last year.
Ski ya later folks!
Yesss Mag! Ur right, where was my head?Quote:

Would be stoked to ski witcha soon...and I'll be on the hunt for a sticker for yas.
Psyched yer gonna pencil us in. Always seemed to be a tough time to persuade ya into the valley. Ski wit me fosho that day. Park at the abode if ya need a spot.Quote:

I do want to see DJ rocking the camo one piece though....Wearing dark shades, over the ear headphones and a mean look for any tourist that asks about it.
lots of people have their own parking hacks that have discussed in previous threads BUT it's going to take 4 to get free parking at the ranch lot this year. And it's now $18 instead of $15 for below 4

Last season, skiing with lindenle and some pnw mags, we had a fat OB day.
A few laps in, I pushed ahead and was gonna stop at these trees, where we usually stop to plan lines down the next pitch.
I come trenching in and slowing to a stop just with the trees on my left.
At 1/10th mph, I stuffed the left tip into the second tree , which rotated me ever so slightly uphill.
My momentum sent me downhill. So I gently fell between the 2 trees.
It's about 16" deep and soft and punchy below that. I uncovered my head and realized how absurdly stuck I was. Hung up between the trees.
I bust out laughing. Almost uncontrollably. It doesn't get any better than this...falling into deep pow.
Lindenle rolls up and starts laughing, wtf dude? He takes this picture then asks if I need help, I say no. Then yes.
Even then, the cartwheel into the soft after he punched my heels was fun.
Click into the deep snow specialty sollys, everyone rolls in and away we go.
I'ma say it was Jackattack and Shroom, that day.
Choice.

Sooooo much snow last season.
We finally bagged Santa! I knew the tree trap would work.

That camo one piece just attracts conversation, oddly.
I approach each question based on the person asking.
The hunter guy asking about the camo and do I hunt - he gets a welcome.
The racy dude from wherever racy, I act like a hick with new to me thrift store legend pro riders, 1st gen.
The dad with kid pointing at me gets me encouraging the kid to be a bum.
The ski bunny in bogner and 156's gets the full charm and an invitation to try-outs later.
The little starry eyed ripper chick gets an invite to an immediate audition.
It's the village, the tram line...laissez les bon temps rouler.
