Pow + a grizz sighting... Not a bad fall day.
Nice to be sliding out on ice and snow today for the opener. Got the late. Going to try for some cord tomorrow early

The bull wheel was wooden (spokes & rim)!

Awesome shot. And love the intrigue

Very cool UaN. Let's talk about that lift sometime as my old bud Benny may know something about it. He's been skiing here since the 40's.
Dealing with a rough patch for my elderly pet these past few days. Still very touch and go.
Hope to make a few turns today or tomorrow.
Sorry to hear DJ. Been there. Hope to hear he/she recovers! See ya out there soon.

Thanks mags, appreciates it.
Made a few laps today. Saw Supergaper and quite a few other locs starting to get after it.
Kokomas was chasing the fam and kids so he was busy. Glad to see yas...
Ouch, skiing is a bit challenging. Do your snow dances.

Made it back from a whirlwind week in Denver/Minneapolis. Ready to get some sliding in.
Anyone using T-mobile in the local hood...hows the coverage if you are.
Yeah I'm on Mint which uses T-Mobile. I'm doing pretty well with it. Verizon is probably better but I haven't been too annoyed since switching last year

T Mobile was fine for me at JHMR last year was there midweek and kept up on work everything. There is ZERO T mobile coverage at Targhee on the hill maybe the lodge but not sure might have been on wifi absolutely zero everywhere on the hill buyer beware. Luckily my days were Dr Kings birthday weekend so no work to worry about.
AT&T coverage is $ out here…. We’ve had zero issues at the Village, Pass and especially the ghee
Ya we switched to ATT for pass coverage. I ski and work up there too much to not have service.
We're driving up from AZ the last few days, from an extended biking trip. Ready for winter to start once we are done driving [emoji1787]. See you all at avy night? Come find me for change for a nickel after my storytelling panel!

weird question but i'll sneak it in during the phone talk.
we're spending xmas in bondurant. My wife grew up in an ELCA (the lib) lutheran church and likes to goto to a christmas eve service that's short and sweet and candle lit. Neither of us particularly into church anymore but she wants to goto a candle lit christmas eve service more for the vibes and the nostalgia.
Anyone have a nice quaint candlelit service in Jackson or Pinedale they recommend?
We'd goto the church in bondurant but they don't have one! PM if ya you'd rather get back to real spiritual (ski) talk in this thread :)
Anyone else see the viddy of the guy who plastered himself into the ground speed flying at snow king about a week ago?

EOB- he is going to get a lot of work done on his knee but is going to be ok from what I hear. Gnarly crash going super fast.
NBA- we do candlelight at First B in Jackson. Always welcome.

Anyone we know?
Can't find any reporting...
Young guy named Owen (I forget his last name as I only met him once but he grew up local). He put the footage on insta as a story so I doubt he minds me sharing. He was proximity speed flying on the King last Monday and did a barrel roll and didn't have enough clearance, so his legs slammed into the ground probably doing 50+mph. TCSAR plucked him off the hill with the new bird and I think there was a buckrail story about it without any names. From what I understand it could have been much, much worse.
How is anyone speed flying off the King with the miniscule amount of snow we have? At 50mph, your at the bottom in like 15 seconds going pretty fast.
Hope he has a good and speedy recovery
^Yep, he crashed maybe 5 seconds into the flight… on his second back to back barrel roll.
I scrolled through his insta a bit and can’t say I’m surprised by this outcome. He’s very lucky for sure. For anyone interested in watching it his insta handle is kid.newt.

To clarify: He was foot launched not on skis. The small type of wing he was using is referred to as a speed wing. And yeah, it’s a quick sled ride down.

Oh fuck. Kid newt?
I don’t insta snap gram chat. But that’s gotta be Brent’s oldest son.
Fuckkkkkkk
He’s doing ok. Not as bad as the shit posted above.
Not sure about the knee.
Reminds me of big Wally crashing into the butte many years ago.
Yikes. Barrel rolls close to the terrain are the most common mechanism of injury with speed wings.

Yep, that's the one. That's good to hear it's better than initially reported. Thanks for update.
Yeah. He’s got demons. I had no idea he was winging.
Must be hard to have known your dad briefly.
And his dad owned the room. Always.
His younger brother is solid.
Big O I haven’t seen in a few years. I hope he doesn’t flame out. Maybe he learns something from this.
