anyone got a booster strap of any variation laying around i could pick up tonight? obviously beer will be brought. in other news wolverine skied great this morning/early afternoon while there was light, besides the huge cornices all we found was some minor windloading. hope everyone down in sanpete's alright.
A harrowing report of the slide in Big Horseshoe Bowl.Quote:

Quoted for truth. I'm sure that when they are ready they will let everyone know. In the time being, be safe out there everyone.Quote:

R.I.P. Garrett Smith. We both worked at Liberty Mountain. I've skied with his wife Amalia and am feeling so bad for her. Another one of my friends was also in that group. This just hits too close to home.

^^ R.I.P.
fuck. thoughts are with the friends and family.
Oh man, horrible tragedy. Sorry for all involved.
That is an incredible story, but i thought they brought "a" back to life. Did he die later on?
^^^ I believe he passed away later. Just too much trauma from the ride. +++vibes+++ again.
Bummer :( so sad to hear about all these deaths recently
On a lighter note I was at powder mountain for spring break and the conditions were prime-time
Here is a vid I made of the trip:
Vibes to those affected by the tragedy. Super unfortunate.
And what's with the resort videos on the last couple of pages? :nonono2:

dalton is a machine. both literally and figuratively. snow skied about like you'd expect it today, a little zipper crust on most of it and heavy underneath, but where it was high and dry (kind of) it skied well. lower down (sub 8.5-9k) it was damp and not so delicious. lots of moisture in there, with the warm up and then cool down it should freeze up nicely and i'd expect be pretty bomber from here on out.
Went out for Owl patrol this morning. Went up Argenta and did the W/NW shot of Kessler........ Top 687 feet rode pretty good, the next 893 feet rode okay and the rest of the way was frightful, especially trough the trees down there. I'm sittin in class working on the media now. Definitely rained upwards of 9,000'. Hope this Sat/Sun storm doesn't dodge us :yourock:

Booked my trip to SLC yesterday to keep my 25 + year streak going. I think it would be bad karma to not go west! Hoping to catch the storm on sunday at alta. How long are the east coast boys around?
I got that late season Bromidrosis settin in...

The fact that D is even skiing this season should be a testament to the passion sliding on snow has on a person, and why we are all here.
Sorry Holmes, I just really enjoy being an ass sometimes, especially behind the mask of forum anonymity. And no I don't know his situation, and no hard feelings to the skier, I just love expressing my passion for the resorts in LCC. Really am sorry to come off as a little:tdo13: though.
i had a whole paragraph typed out, but i'm gonna keep it short and simple... take your stupid BS elsewhere. skiing pow's awesome and all, but shit, i'd love to see you try and keep up at the bird (or on the skin track... i'll be the kid in bright, baggy shit blowing by your lame ass on the way up and having way more fun than you on the way down).Quote:

So that's my impression of this thread, be an asshole in a clever sorta way or post sick/techy shit about the conditions. I've said it once I'll say it again, fuck the bird.
apparently you missed the pictures D put up, one post before yours. i saw one misguided post from idon'tknowwho about skiing out here, and one reply from TC, now i see 6 posts relating to your one, that never would have been necessary if you'd just dropped it. i got news for you dude... it's the internet, the space ain't gonna run out.Quote:

ps. it's as manky as alx88 vag out there, settled N shade
I skied there last month with my brother's kids, I had blast. At this very moment, I'm plugged essentially directly into a coal mine, reaping it's benefits without all that pesky nuclear fallout of our friends in Japan;)Quote:

Boycott over??? Whats the scoop??
Alx88 rips and has posted more stoke this season on tgr then any other person in utah, hands down. he has 50 some posts and i'll bet over 50% are stoke. he's one of the few that ACTUALLY posts bc conditions and stoke in this thread
ectreeskier11 is a fucking joey. post less and ski more. And scope your landings for god's sake, anyone that has ever rode little cloud knows you have to take that cliff HUGE to clear the rocks in the landings.
in my log book last monday is going down as my best pow day of the season - so far!
Can I ask why TC would "owe" TGR any update? Did he sign a contract to accept donations, but only could use said donations and vibes if he kept every, single mag updated on every moment of his life?Quote:

I came to the thread to check on snow conditions, but this thing being tossed around is bugging me.
