I snowboard, and really could give a shit if a ski area wont let me ride there. From talking to buddies that have lived/skied at Alta for many seasons who I currently ride with, the traverses would suck balls on a snowboard, and to many clueless snowboarders would fuck them up, creating mindless pissing matches between skiers and snowboarders.

Really, who needs a ski lift anyway? Buy a spitboard and never think about liftlines, costume parties, and tourist assholes ever again as you enjoy the endless powder runs, serenity, and track free landscape in the wasatch/tetons/sierras....wherever the fuck you want with those you really want to be around....perfect.

I HOPE alta never allows me, cause theres to much out there to worry about a place that takes up 1/100000000000th of the places I CAN ride....and buying lift passes blows anyway.

I've seen black diamonds!

Fat skies have given shitty skiers the confidence to be almost as annoying as snowboards in the various manners listed above. It used to be the sole responsibility of snowboarders to scrape out nice lines with heelside falling leafs. Fat rockered skis have helped skiers share the idiocy. In a few more years we should see true equality.

For every boarder leafing down your "stash" there's an upper advanced skier putting jump turns and hockey stops down every steep chute that should be skied/ridden smoothly. Seriously it happens, get over it.

Skiers try to make the smooth surf turns we snowboarders make.

I'm so glad that someone brought up the jump-turn/hockey stop technique skiers use from time to time. Look, lets face it, there are some lines that require you to slarve an edge to set up your next move. You see the pros doing this all the time. I'm not talking about sliding the whole line sideways, I'm talking about employing the proper technique at the right time to keep your ass from tumbling over the exposure below you. (Damn, that post is really close to belonging on EpicSki:fm:)

Oh wait, that's right, this is TGR and everyone posting on here is radder than Sage, and JJ so no one side-slips anything.........ever:rolleyes: We all charge down everything with incredible speed, making huge wide open turns over any terrain. And that's why we're all spansered.:the_finge
(get over yourselves)

Seriously, who gives a rats ass that Alta doesn't allow snowboarders? From the sounds of it, a decent portion of the people skiing Alta are self-important douchebags any way.

Now if it'd just start puking, everyone would shut the fuck up and get back to what matters, having fun with your friends in the mountains.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people around here are wound so tight. Ya'll need to get out from behind your cubes and go skiing.

Nice troll by the way Das....even if it was unintentional...saying something negative about Alta on a ski forum is like calling Allah a fag in Mecca.

Oh the out-of-towners... yeah they really "care". They are totally here in the lean snow years supporting the resort. :rolleyes: You manage to diss locals and sound like a idiot at the same time. STFU.

Every spring some of those douchebags come over to Snowbird after Alta closes. They stop in the middle of the cirque traverse and act like total gapers. They must be some of your out-of-towners though because the Alta/Snowbird locals I know rip.

I think it's funny that you wrote all your bullshit opinions after two whole days at Alta. STFU about what you don't know.

The bumps were more even with better rhythm. I'd like to ski Alta to verify it's the snowboards that mess shit up, and not just faulty memory applying the rosy shades. Based on what I see at the local hill - hiking past the snowboarders, or just traversing one gully further, produces much better conditions.

I suspect that Alta is on to something, and skiing really is better without snowboarders. Peace through truth.

Snowboarders don't ride moguls. Your theory is terrible.

Working on that whole clarity for internet sound bite thing. Perhaps I should have replaced 'care' with 'give a shit... about the snowboarder thing.' I was not making a claim about the financial support in lean years (I did not know lean years existed). But these people do stay in the lodges when they go. I'm not sure how you got that I am dissing the locals? But, I was referring to the people who I have met in my life that fit the description of visiting families. No dis intended.

Oh, okay. Are you sure it is the same douchbags?

Really? I mean it is the internet, on a ski forum, in autumn. :rolleyes2 It is a fun thread by all means, with all the angst.

And, it was actually more like a day and a half. I spent the morning waiting for bookends to open up. It was worth it.

Because most snowboarders (not me) can make some nice turns while many gaper skiers are jump turning and exposing rocks everywhere. People complaining about sboarders sideslipping (thats me sideslipping) are the same gapers jump turning down easy shit.

Ride the Bird and get yourself out to the bookends. If you can do this without slowing everyone up, without post holing Hillary Climb and without losing your enthusiasm and sense of enjoyment... you can then ride the High T, Backside and everything else that requires a good scoot at Alta.

For what it's worth, I have no beef with boards or whether or not they're allowed at Alta. I spent many years on one plank and currently ride the Bird with a mixed crew of skis and boards. None of the boards, BTW, can successfully manuver to the bookends according to the stipulations above and therefore have no desire to attempt similar traverses at Alta.

comparing the high-t to the bookends traverse is retarded. bookends is a groomer...

danimal's dead

3 of the guys I ride with are better skiers than 99% of the people on this born.

We've skied Big Mt, Fernie, Kicking Horse, Schweitzer, Berthoud, Silver, Abasin, Vail, Snowbasin, Snowbird, Beavercreek, Red, Whitewater, Baker, Breck, Brighton, and countless other resorts and endless bc together, I'm pretty sure they'd ski with me at Alta. We all feed off eachother's stoke, this agument is so 1995.

groomer for how long? ...to the start of the horseshoe. Then it becomes a single traverse with a mandatory side step climb and then more skating and pushing to get to the saddle. There are many similar traverses at Alta.

...or am I missing some sarcasm?

Not that it matters or that I care. Board or don't board at Alta; but, the whole "you wouldn't like it" statement is more true than many hurt single plankers would care to admit if they knew. There are plenty of Alta traverses that just aren't freindly without two free moving legs and some poles... which we all know and has been discussed a million times.

Point is that if you board and you don't enjoy or have flat out never even attempted to get all the way out to the bookends... you prolly won't have a good time on the High T, Baldy, Backside, etc. etc over at Alta.

it does go uphill much more than the High T and the narroworness makes it hard to pass. High t is super easy to pass on till the carpet.

Tourism = big 4 Alta
Bad reviews = bad 4 alta
Boarders from Indiana bitching about gettin off collins and having to skate for a quarter mile = bad 4 alta tourism

alta is too flat for snowboarders......and skiers.

how many times have you said where the fuck is my sled when i want it while while sayin why the fuck didn't i wax my shit b4 i came out today as you were at alta?

people just need to realize its all about deer valley or park city. plenty of vertical and everything leads right to a lift. its like someone with intelligence designed the place.

uh, because jump turning is a valid technique and side slipping trenches never is? And, well, jump turns just aren't that common period anymore?

shhh

if you tell anyone about the trees in deer valley i will be fucking PISSED. or the untracked powder that retirees with hip replacements can't hit.

I'd rather be the only guy climbing empire at deer valley rather than one of the 100 people in line waiting for patrol to open up terrain at the bird.

like i said alta is flat. you come to utah to ski. you come to utah to go to park city mountain resort and deer valley. you can even meet sammy davis and shawn white

No one mentioned anything about side slipping, that shit pisses most boarders off too.

Not sure what your last sentence said, jump turning is the only way I’ve seen skiers get down a chute as narrow as their skis are long, that or step down making a bunch of annoying ledges.

Snowboarders should look at the glass being mostly full. More than 99% SKI HILLS allow you do ride. So what if Alta has the guts to keep it PURE.
