Alta's fabled germania lift rolled in to logan today. I helped unload it. We are storing in my dads yard until it finds it's new home at Beaver moutain. Not sure if itll be up next year or the year following... But rest assured altaholics its in good hands :yourock:
that's fucking bad ass! now why don't you drag it up to WA and we'll put it on some huge peak and make the first maggot ski area.
Let's see some pics man!
i miss germania. can i come visit? i just wanna sit on a few chairs.
Sweet, maybe Ill be riding Alta's Lift at Beaver soon! On a snowboard. :the_finge
Duker,
Is Beav planning on putting it somEwhere new (yeah right)? Or just replacing the old ass lifts already there?
I like the maggot ski area idea, that or I'll just take a chair for the backyard. :D
How's the security in your dad's yard?

Replacing the dream lift would be a good idea. I would like to see something dropping down into Franklin Basin! :biggrin:

This is why beaver is a great resort!Quote:

You are welcome to come with 2P and I to do that. Car shuttles. 2P has been know to only ride the lift up, scoot out to the ridge and down to the cars in FB all day without touching inbounds. I plan to do a lot of that this year too.Quote:

Nah, we don't need no stinkin lift back there. Drop a few beers in your pack, drop down into Fbasin, skate to the highway, hold a beer out to passing traffic until a car stops
Its SnowBasin again for me this year! but I miss the beav a lot, I have many friends that shred there and lots o memories skating out the franklin basin road. Everyone knows there is good skiing back there most are just too lazy to get it!
Hey I just made it too 100 posts don't I get a prize? :D
That definatley works. But I was wondering have you ever dropped out the back of long hollow? off the top of the new lift. Goofed off a bit back there this summer. Its looks decent but how is the ride out?Quote:

There is some good stuff back there and as long as you can traverse back south towards the bottom the hike to fb road isn't too bad.Quote:

Yeah, I've done that but never found the pitch back there to be worth it. I poked around in there a bit with some cats from Powder Magazine last spring: Matt Collins, Dave McReynolds, Adam Clark and others. Should be an upcoming article about it in the Backcountry Stash department in POwdah.Quote:

They arent the most trusting people I know. Its very hard to crack the "Circle of trust" at beaver.Quote:

I didn't even know what people were talking about at first.Quote:

Post a little more frequently and get rid of the German sig.
Then we'll talk.
Being in the field without phone access, let alone an internet connection, has a nasty habit of cutting into my post count. Combined with the rampant political blatherings that seem to dominate the board these days, I haven't exactly kept up. ;)Quote:
