It's a shame that patrollers are still getting hurt in avalanche control.
In the pyrenees resort where i ski half of each winter, there are none. The resort uses a lot of gazex, explosives on cables, and the only places a patroller will throw a hand charge are on ridges where it's safe.

It is a shame.Perhaps part of the reason for the difference might be that in Europe they would not control the kind of terrain that's controlled here. Only slopes that threaten the pistes would be controlled, the rest would be ski at your own risk. Decreased risk to patrollers in Europe but increased risk to skiers. It seems that is reflected in the numbers but it's hard to compare apples and oranges.
I think it's money, and disregard for human life. After all, gazex was installed at squaw what, 10 years ago, when it was common in Europe for many years before

I’ve never been to the Pyrenees, but isn’t it a hard comparison to draw? How many routes are they controller over a certain area? How many skiers are dying or being caught in avalanches that access the terrain via the lift system? Etc.

Not many die at all. And even though they blast only above groomed runs, it's pretty much the entire resort.Quote:

Seriously just wondering if we’re comparing apples and oranges here.
God damn this forum is garbage now. Can’t fucking type anything.
Did they open the chimney today?
Whaaaaaaa? I think you must be trying to blow this shit up.Quote:

But sure. Way more slide paths at Palisades than elsewhere. But sure. We could use more gazex.
Was looking at the bomb holes on 99 Steps the other day. Was wondering if some dude on patrol had a MLB arm, as sling shot or if their artillery was back is fashion. No idea. So we skied instead

This seemed appropriate yesterday as we were celebrating Shane all over the mountain</p>

^^yup.
Was on the b2b yesterday with a couple of dudes from UT. As we went over the fingers they started telling me about a bunch of people on snowerblades ripping down them on Saturday. I was about to tell them what was going on, but then they immediately started speculating about the edge hold, if it would be better, and what size poles to use because some were using really short poles. I decided to sit, listen and smile instead.

Great pics! Which alternate is that? I don’t recall a tree in any of them.
Me’n Vets shredded Granlibakken today.
That Pomo is no joke.
I’d post pix, but the site won’t let me upload any…
I'd never seen this cute lil chute either - between Nose chutes and the Fingers. Spent a couple days this season trying to work myself into nooks and crannies I'd never seen or skied before at the Mountain Laboratory of Ski-perimentation. This was one of those. Funky little spot. Still pow at 3:00 pm on a pow day.I could not, however, convince myself to send V-Rock on one of those exploration days. That line is intimidating!
nice work
Nice shots!
Had many a great day in the region.
Dookey, I posted through Tapatalk. Cannot do squat through the desktop version.
We do need more skiing stoke in this forum - that is for sure! I have not been taking as many pics as in years past so mostly just have scenic shots…
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Agree. More stoke
and Tapatalk
I only downloaded the app this fall because of pic loading issues. It's the only way I can post pics now.
Great shots meter

More stoke from the storm cycle earlier this month</p>

I am gone for the next two weeks but it would be fun to get the palisades/alpine skiers together for a spring skiing and afternoon beers plan at sompe point in April!</p>
<p>
Skiing with Dookey and getting to check off Granlibakken from my to-do list was fun. I can now brag that I have skied at every Tahoe area resort.</p>
<p>
I'm bummed to hear that loading images is an issue on the forum.</p>
<p>
I'll try linking to a video from earlier this month to see if that works here.</p>

I believe vets has just posted the secret war plans for Yemen. Fortunately encoded.

Think we re-froze last night or is it gonna be sticky icky from the get-go? Contemplating rubbing some yellow on the bases quickly this am.</p>
Thinking of pulling the trigger on a last minute trip to Tahoe for the kids spring break just for a change of scenery. It would be April 20 through 26. Would be based in South Tahoe where my sister has a house and we have Epic passes so are pretty much relegated to Heavenly and Kirkwood. What's the over under on Kirkwood still being open? Website says the 13th but I know they have stayed open longer in the past.
^^
I wouldn't bet on it. Squawlpine is typically the only game in town at that point for the past several years.
Models (esp Euro) have been consistent in showing a wet start to April. Let’s hope it’s cold enough for one last dash.

I only like the apps you can eat, though.
You might luck out. KW Closed in May in 2022 and '23.Quote:

If KW is still open by then there's a pretty decent chance it will be weekends only.
