Because there are a bunch of fucking morons (both skiers and snowboarders) that follow tracks out of bounds. They get cliffed out, or just scared when they start to think they are completely lost. Then they get panicked, and start doing stupid shit like ditching their skis.

Who fucking cares? dude was trying to help somebody out.

I'm all for helping, but personally I'd find one snowshoe much more of a hassle than none.

Lost skier spends

the night outside

An Illinois man was found tired but unharmed after spending a night in a drainage outside the ski area.

Routt County Search and Rescue spent Sunday night and part of Monday morning searching for the 46-year-old, whose named was not released.

The man spent the night in the Beaver Creek drainage southeast of Rendezvous Saddle. He became stuck there after ducking a rope at the Steamboat Ski Area on Sunday afternoon, Search and Rescue Incident Commander Scott Havener said.

About 10 a.m. Monday, rescue crews spotted the man from a helicopter. It took another two to three hours to get him out.

The man told rescuers he had been on a cat track in the Hot Cakes area and saw tracks leading underneath an out-of-bounds rope. He thought the tracks would lead to a shortcut cut to the bottom of the hill, Havener said.

The man followed the tracks and then took off his skis in a heavily treed area, fearing he could not ski around the trees. Without any snowshoes, the man was post-holing through the snow. Making little progress, he decided to hunker down for the night. He had warm clothes but no matches or food.

Search and Rescue was notified about 8 p.m., and a night search was launched at 10 p.m. That effort was called off at 3 a.m. Monday and resumed at 8 a.m.

A skier who had gone out of bounds and into the drainage area then contacted Search and Rescue, saying he thought he had found the lost skier. At about the same time, the man was spotted from the helicopter. Crews could see him post-holing through the snow, walking a few steps and then sitting down to rest.

The man was returned to his family by about 2:30 p.m.

The area where he was lost is a common spot for searches, Havener said. During Monday's search, they saw many tracks and spotted four skiers in the area.

I would agree that one snowshoe would suck, but I guess in that situation one was better than none.

Or maybe the equalizer tied a few pine branches to the bottom of his boot to act as a second snowshoe.

computers suck

...and the sad fact of the matter is, most of 'em will probably have more posts than me by March and I've been around since powdermag.com. (I don't type unless I have something to say) :nonono2: I guess vicarious powder is better than none at all.

First I'd like to thank everyone for their replys.I think pegleg(response#46)
opinion matches mine.


as i placed the "manifesto" where everyone could find
i heard squeaky bindings coming up from behind
my chest grew quite tight,a pain formed in my belly
"who would be approaching on those well worn tele's"
as i turned apprehensive,just whom did i see
but the legend of the backcountry, the ol' B.C.B
i said i was sorry, for this letter was not meant for him
then my emotions took over, tearing thru my thin skin
"the trails will be destroyed" ,"impassible i said
then turned and walked away with my lowered head
i had just yelled at the man who has always been kind
and tell me the names of the sweet lines i would find
the next day i heard my words were on T.G.R
not only on red poles and at local bars
i thought"well equalizer,maybe you've opened some eyes"
as i drove to summit county to buy my disguise
should i have hung up the signs?i guess we'll wait and see
and apologies again to the ol' B.C.B



i am not "respect others" it was not dictated.just a great friend and ski partner

I find this very humorous coming from somebody who lives in Florida. Dude if you move to NY, tele'ers are everwhere.

I guess the dog behind the first climber can't read.

The dog is on the slowboarder bootpack.

why would anyone spend time fixing a post hole?

Hey, the dude rides on one plank, why not snowshoe on one snowshoe?

my apologies to the dog for accusing it of not being able to read.

That's allright, the boarders can't either.

Ba-dum-bum. Please don't forget to tip your waitresses.

Wow. This guy is causing quite a stir in our quiet little town. He thinks Steamboat is bad . . . Good thing he can't go to Alta and experience some real tele-attitude.

If you reached here without reading this whole thread, do yourself a favor and go back and read it. It is entertaining on several different levels.

Wow, there is great quality in that photograph.

Ahhhh the memories that come flooding back from reading this post:D-

For those that were around before the massive exodus from PowderMag :

This thread reminds me of the war of words that took place in regards to the "Pain Train" traveling across the High Traverse @ Alta. :cussing:

It has nearly approached the same level of drama.

Memories :biggrin:

I'd say the club is coming along quite well.

^^^ Even with Alex on my side I don't think I would want to piss off that many boarders. Might as well just put in a lift back there.

Does anyone see similarities between the "tele-nazi's" and the typical bicyce commuter?

Wowza, maybe it's me - but it sounds like BURT BRONSON got released from SuperTopo.

Last I heard BURT was doing some real climbing in real mountains. His words should be headed.

...

Assholes are assholes, and it has nothing to do w/ their bindings.

I am getting tired of all of the tele nazi bs and I am a long time tele skier.

Tele skiers have been de-evolving over the last several years from mellow folks looking to get away from the ski areas into agro gear head yuppies. Equipment advances have helped people hop up on tele skis and into the bc rather quickly. Gives people a superiority complex.

That being said the posting might be a little harsh but you got to like his balls. Those are fighting words, he better be able to back it up.
