FTW. As a father, this is a great reminder to do my best at keeping my temper down regardless of the situation.

Bahahahahaha Colter deleted the thread. I gues snow the damage control begins?
What is it about the internet that makes people dig holes they can never climb out of. For his kids sake, I hope his boss is cool and can just convince hime to attend some anger management to placate the public. I've seen guys lose their pro ride, patrollers fired and now this because idiots don't realize what their saying through their keyboard. The only one that I didn't feel pitty for was the Scurfield (Sunshine) kid. He pulled down alot of good people with him. Amazing to watch this play out.
I met JW last year and he was friendly and seemed like a cool guy. Everything from the video and the FB posts alter my initial thoughts about him; he can't handle himself. Hopefully he gets released from the Pdog. I think the fact that he's a manager says a lot about the Pdog...
Was in a coma.
Tunco, can't remember if I actually apologized for the reference. If she was actually (which I doubt you'd make it up) not well, my apologies, actually my apologies for bringing that up at all.
the luffski thread was mentioned numerous times today at my little ski hill.
Sorry guys, as I was reading this thread and my cellphone rang. The call is in per Alta Management, the video was requested to be taken down. It is my choice and out of respect for management, clientele and an excellent ski area that I enjoy skiing, the video is deleted from Youtube.
I know I will suffer swift judgement and criticism over this action, but I feel it is the right thing to do. I stand firm in my decision. Thank you all for realizing the whole point of this matter. We all as sportsmen need to tighten up our conduct and not rage on people. Not saying people here do that, but others do and hopefully they saw this video and it reminded them to keep in check.
Rock on.
you better have got some comps out of the deal. You're sitting on a gold mine, jerry.
Did they offer anything....like an apology?
serious cave in imo
WHY DID OUR MODERATOR MOVE THIS? PRESSURE FROM ALTA??!!!!
This thread that has to do with skiing. Why was it moved?
Luffski, did you take a payoff or are you the victim of bullying yet again?
lest we forget...."Aggro douchebag is douche. Colter who posts here when convenient to him sings his "Papabro"'s praises over this incident and loves it the whole time even when (name edited), aka "Papa Bro" totally disrespects a long time Alta girl for respectfully disagreeing with him saying things as quoted:
"You can't have a taste of the wade cuz I know better than to fuck angry lesbians. Go munch some carpet that ain't as "diseased" as yours. Don't need to yell you what I bang cuz I'm a gentleman when it comes to that." " Hit that sand paper dildo hard tool" - "Douche your twat & keep your stink outta alta." "I can smell u from here so again I must remind you, us strapping mofo's don't want rotten crotch" "I can feel it seeping thru your lesbian liberal spew. Keep being jealous of what you don't have & never will" "Sounds like your dyke ass just got the sandpaper dildo"
wow. that's a lot of hatred wade. and for what? because i said that video was a buzz kill? because i said that alta has a problem with rampant douchebaggery? you really drove it home "papa bro". you really show me who's the boss, huh? this idea you have, that i must want to troll the pdog looking for "strapping mofo's" or that i "can't have a taste of the wade"....are you for real? can you see how utterly broken your mind is?
Quotes are between (name edited) and anonymous chick.
See the whole shitshow here if fb allows you, it allowed me: http://www.facebook.com/colter.hinchliffe Scroll down a few posts.
Keep it classy Alta." ...from luffski's thread earlier.
Your cluelessness is awe-inspiring.
Alta did you a major favor If they did indeed "ask" you to take the video down. I'm betting they asked you if taking that vid down was a reasonable tradeoff for keeping your job there. You really think they want a video of two employees acting like asshats on the intertubz? From their perspective, taking it down would be a lot easier than explaining to customers that the asshats in that vid "engaged in unacceptable behavior and have left Alta to pursue other career opportunities".
And yes AggroWade was ultimately the bigger douche in this drama, but you have lots of fuck juice running off you too. From where I sit, you provoked your own smackdown by initiating asshattery you couldn't finish - and don't give us that "I intentionally backed down" bullshit. "If you lay your hands on me one more time Dude..."
And through all of this AggroWade will retain his reputation as a long-time local & sometime asshole, but you've gained the rep The Beater JONG Who Broadcast His Own Fail and Pwning in GaperPro Technicolor! Congratulations - Every woman in the Wasatch will want to bear your children.
The only way you can make this right is to publicly challenge AggroWade to a ski-off. Let your Bents do the talking for you.
My job was not threatened at all whatsoever. I was told it was secure either way as I was not working when the altercation happened and in no way did I go and post it on something like a facebook page to a resort or anything, I put it on TGR and it went viral over on Unofficialbird when they robbed the clip. I was praised for taking the high road and not creating a situation where myself, Jon Wade and PearljamEd were rolling around in fistcuffs for all the public to see. Posting that video whether it painted me as a beater or not was something that I did to get the situation of my chest.
The person who hired me at Alta and is my supervisor is probably the best boss I have ever had. When someone like that, whom you respect a lot, calls you at home and says that the management above her is not happy with negativity continuing to breed over a video that depicts a person in an Alta jacket being a asshole, then you consider things for a moment.
Jonathan Wade is not an employee of ALTA Lift Co. and by him wearing that Alta jacket in the video it looks like he works for us, and you know what? I don't want that asshole associated with my employer. He works for the Peruvian Lodge, which is in no way associated.
It was my choice what to do. Leave the video up, which it still is anyway (as I figured hopefully someone would cache it) or take it down. By taking it down I did my part to help relieve any stress that it causes someone who stuck their neck out to hire me without even meeting me face to face. So I kept my word to my boss, and acted respectful to someone asking me to consider the fact the negative energy breeds more negative energy.
Trust me, no employer would be silly enough to demand an employee remove a video from Youtube or else. Can you imagine the fallout from that? Plus I wouldn't just give up my right to speak my mind or I wouldn't be speaking it here without fear of retaliation.
All in all, I should have not put up with his pushing me around, but I know I made the right decision. That loser isn't worth having to get cuffed and stuffed for or even banned from skiing at Alta. Imagine how much that would suck. He would have won and I would have lost a lot of respect from all the really good friends/coworkers I have there.
So yes, telebobski, I intentionally backed down, but I don't regret it. Tomorrow I can go ski for a while, work for a few hours, have a nice free meal and then go ski some more. If I pushed him over and brawled, then instead tomorrow I would be driving to Solitude, buying a ticket, buying lunch and a beer, not skiing with my friends and revising my resume to explain why I had a gap in my employment history. The first option sounds like more fun, and also allows for money to be saved for more fun in the future.
I just can't believe a lift op didn't put you in your place, Luffy. You fucked up. I've been in the Wildcat line probably a dozen times this year where a nearly identical situation happens and every other time I've heard the lift ops (usually quite forcefully) tell people to get to the back of the line. JW might be an asshole, and I wouldn't have stood on your skis, but damn right I would have made a lot of noise and made sure you got to the back of the line if you pulled that bullshit in front of me. That was where you belonged. Just because you teabagged Onno for a job doesn't mean you can do whatever the fuck you want.
This is par for the course at Alta though. I thought the stories about morons, douchebags and general bullshit attitudes here were exaggerated. Hardly. People like JW are too aggro for no reason, people like Luff don't have a basic understanding of taking turns and how a line works, and they're probably two of the less offensive people you'll find here day-to-day. Soul of powder skiing my ass, this place has become a joke.
I never thought I would see so many grown men acting like selfish, spoiled children as I do here. The vibe here sucks, the powder lasts about as long as a 15 year old in bed, on any given day 50 percent of the mountain is actually open and there's so little vert I can fart on the GMD deck and smell it at the top of High Boy. Alta is for whiny, geriatric fuckwits.
aint you the cat who agreed to work at the snowpine then fuckin bailed on them for a better dorm room? Strong morals there
You still owe me for those brakes I gave you.
Please return or compensate
as you don't seem to have a understanding of how the bro deal system works:rolleyes2
Fluffers already admitted he got sent to the back by lift ops - just didn't include that part in his GaperPro documentary. He also didn't include the part where those already at the back gave him shit when he got there...took his lunch money, threw his pack in a drift and gave him an atomic wedgie
Decided to look this up while making coffee. From Urbandictionary.com
teabagger -multiple meanings.
1) one who carries large bags of packaged tea for shipment.
2) a man that squats on top of a womens face and lowers his genitals into her mouth during sex, known as "teabagging"
3) one who has a job or talent that is low in social status
4) a person who is unaware that they have said or done something foolish, childlike, noobish, lame, or inconvenient.
5) A whining fool shouting loudly for liberty but not willing to pay the bill. “After most American workers saw more money in their paycheck due to the lower tax rate, the teabaggers at Fox News railed against high taxes, but did not discuss how much Jesus hated hypocrisy.”
So it appears Glademaster's statement "Just because you teabagged Onno..." should have been "Just because you got teabagged by Onno..."
OTOH, 60% of the definitions cited above seem to fit his case...
Carry on
yeah i see alot more lift line douchbaggery than i have the GSA
Wow, we headed off to BC last Thursday for a SWEET ski trip with great friends and missed all of this bullshit. I gave up on reading anything in the ski forum a long time ago as the internet tools took over that side of TGR, now it’s being spread here too. This thread (and the other one about the same topic) have to be an example of the biggest losers on the internet to date. WTF happened to skiing being fun? It’s not all about who got the raddest, who toured the furthest, who wear’s what… it really isn’t. I realize internet forums are now just for that but seriously, what have these two threads in particular proven or provided to any community?
Loser #1 actually uses a Go-Pro to film Loser #2 give him shit for being a Fucktard. Loser #2 really heats up FB with shit that should get his teeth knocked in. Loser #1 keeps fanning the flames, being egged on by internet losers from just about everywhere but where the “act of aggression” took place. Soul-Brother stoners from every canyon north of LCC join in stating “how it is at Alta”, even though they don’t ski there. What a fucking waste.
Guess what? There are assholes EVERYWHERE. Learn to ignore them. Live your life without even noticing them. It works. I’ve been here for 12 seasons now and learned a few years ago that it really is best to just ski past all of them. Don’t talk to them, don’t respond to them, go about your life. For some reason, they all back down if I even look in their general direction. Know why? Because they are all Pussies when “real life” looks back at them straight in the eye.
Lastly, being a considerate person does not make you a bad person, nor a Sheeple. It makes you a considerate person, period. Waiting in line on a busy day is not the end of the world.
Using a combination of Google Translate and my Minnesotan upbringing, I believe it says something like:
"Join us North! The Norwegian Skier Battalion"
You know, like in the Heroes of Telemark.
Are these the same people that merge 6 miles before the road construction and get pissed when you merge up where it actually shrinks to one lane?
that is a really good point^^^^^
