Take that complaint up with god, or noaa. Same thing.

i heart Yeti and SFB.
they used to be part of what made solitude truly sepcial, and now they are not.
anyone who doesnt realize that means more than this expansion doesnt get it, solitude went down the tubes before this was ever proposed.

i wish you al could spend time on skis or off with either.

Good point. Get a shovel and some bags of concrete and get to work, lazy asses. The ground might be a little frozen, perhaps next summer.

You'll need to speak to the jeans-wearing Solitude skier for that.

First one to make 5 laps takes all.

Yeti get to ride the (unapproved, not yet developed) lift? Please explain the JONG logic in this.

Being that you're a JONG, you've already answered your own question.

This thread is dead.

If a lift keeps more people inside the confines of the sheep pen, then I'm all for it, keep your lift and stay inside the pen. Too much wool runnin' around these parts as it is.;)

You are the real deal all the posers are posing as. They know all they have to do is XC ski on their dukes to some low angle hero snow and they get to claim to be what you really are.

I didn't really address that as well as I should have in my earlier post.

Clearly there are legions of skiers who tour and are the real deal (the SFB's and TH's of the world), but there's getting to be an awful lot of marginal skiers copping big attitudes of ubercore superiority claiming to be better than all the gapers at the resort because they can XC ski on dukes.

I like riding lifts. I don't need more lift served terrain. but I don't live in fanboys and momo land. But you have better snow, and better gear. anyway, a week after the pow under the lift is gone I guess you can ski the moguls in the trees or take a walk in the sun and snow and ski freshies. I'm not exactly sure what has to be all ubercore about it, but I'll take it over your speed metal any day.

Yeti, I think I just became the statistic. Although I've skied resort and bc for years and enjoyed both I don't have a pass this year and can't afford one. That leaves me the bc, and I hate to see more of that become pay to play (since I can't pay). I guess if I could afford the fuel I could just drive to bfe Idaho like you suggest.

Although it probably doesn't matter since I'm just one of those marginal skiers with a superiority complex.

Just in case there is any confusion, I am not the real deal, and never claimed to be. I freely admit to never having skied the south face of superior, or anything on monte cristo :eek:. But I have skied the meadow chutes, and they are a great place for a poseur like me to ski. Honestly, if they were in a resort, I am not sure I would ski them that much, unless they were directly under a lift so everyone could watch me rip and see that I am wearing dukes and thus assume that I ski gnarly extreme terrain.

Huge props to Yeti for twisting so many panties by stating a known fact: there are lots of dopes who think that buying a pair of Dukes makes them a Straight Shooter.

TH, ZZZ, Mad - he was talking about a growing demographic of trendies, not everybody who tours. I often wonder how many pairs of Dukes have never left the ski area boundary.

give them jer.

To be StraightChuter you need Dynafits, really short and skinny skis, and a VO2 max somewhere around 90ml/kg/minute. Without that, you're just another wanker on Dukes.

Now that we have all the panties twisted in inappropriate directions, let's look at the weather. A low density storm is coming, then unsettled weather. Perhaps we might be skinning in the gnar of Silver Fork next week, or maybe lapping Collins. We'll see.........

I didn't say "everyone who tours does so because they suck at skiing"....

^^^but you did say all snowboarders are poseurs and that you like icy bumps. just so we are clear.

Where are these dopes? Maybe they just want to ski inbounds and occassionally go out, so the duke is a good product for them. Too obvious? Just because you and yeti apparently ski totally for image, doesn't mean everyone else does. Don't project your thoughts onto everyone else.

I like icy bumps better than skinning.

I like soft bumps better than icy bumps, and I like pow better than any bumps but not enough to get buried in a slide or spend hours XC skiing for one run of it.

Hows that?

and you know as well as I do that a hell of a lot of people loved snowboarding in the 90s because it was so trendy and so much easier to progress at than skiing straight skis.

Hell - I tour mainly because I can't ski icy bumps anymore. Honest - I suck at it. I used to be pretty good, but then I got old. I'd much rather go ski some easy bc powder (in Silver Fork) when the inbounds get skied out. I just bought some Dukes a month ago too.

As long as this thread has mutated into a discussion of who's more deserving, I say all real skiers have to go back to Silvretta 404s and mountaineering boots or Ramer RATs with heavy alpine boots. That'd separate the posers from the real men. Too bad Yeti has my RATs

Skiski - untwist those panties already. Turn that frown upside down! :( < :)

OK.

yeah re: RATS...
this is my big season to tour or not ski.

this is it. the only skiing I get here is fucking gay ass touring, I'm going to do it because it's skiing and I love to ski, but it's going to be like getting head from the prison shemale because if you're in prison it isn't gay.

I'm in this prison, and I'm going to pretend that touring here isn't lame. I'm going to be missing the lifts every single fucking step.

:biggrin::biggrin:
Can I ski with you? or at least go for a long skin in the woods and would it be okay if I upgrade to the freeride pure silverttas. I'm a capricorn too
and I only like hockey at playoff time

I'm taking my viagra now, just in case this thread goes that way.

This post is one of the many things about this thread that doesn't suck, er.........

Where do you live now? Can I come and do some fucking gay ass touring with you? You break trail, ok.

No. 404s were horrible. Pures are cheating. Do you like Piña coladas? And getting caught in the rain?


Yeti - I had no idea you were actually going to use those for actually touring. Now I kinda feel bad (actually). Then again, I used 'em right up until Fritschis came out. Still searching for that tape. I found Soldiers Under Command by Stryper - the white vinyl - and it still had the merchandise order form in the sleeve. I'm going to mail in for a bandana and a "no devil" button, then get really pissed when I get a return to sender.

I'm working way too much lately on shit that doesn't really interest me, so I'd rather do this :cussing:. To boot, I have not even put on skis this year (except to go to bars and impress chicks with by old school non-touring mode telemark bindings). So, once again, :cussing:

Anyway, it sounds like we've about got this wrapped up. Can we all check off on the following facts:

1. Yeti is a tourist who skis only steep stuff under the lifts to impress other tourist, who will hopefully mistake him for a local
2. Trackhead can't ski at all.
3. Straightchuter is a commie
4. you are a dick, and are apparently a lot older I would have guessed.
5. Only fags are in favor of a lift in silver fork. (I don't mean gay fags. I mean "look at me" fags like the guys who ride loud motorcycles on south park)
6. Skifishguy is apparently a huge pothead
7. I'm a dick too.

Fair enough?

but now those people love fat skis, so i can go back to being the quiet, pudgy kid no one talks to. maybe this fat ski trend will play out for Patrick though.

Has nobody noticed that I recently "came out"? How flaming do I have to get?

jer prefers fat sticks.

Guilty as charged.

Jesus, God. You homos really need to get some fucking snow down there. I'm going to get fat on all this buttery popcorn.

which is why i was careful to make sure I was putting down "look at me" fags and not gay fags by associating them with people who want a lift in silver fork. i may be a dick, but I;m not a bigot.

Okay if I use the Ramer classics instead of 404s?
Last time I skied Solitude it cost $5. Can't remember the icy bumps.
I found these

http://www.wowasatch.com/pictures/Wi...9/feathers.jpg

feathers, today. Found some more buried under 10", resting onna crust.
It wasn't Solitude and it wasn't Silver Fork but...
Oh yeah,




this, again. Cadillacs Out West. I call it ski touring, not x country but uh... I'm over 50.
:the_finge

That last one didn't do it?




It's on TV, just like hockey. Still called ski touring.
