Okay, so pick one ski area and tell us what currently out of bounds (BUT CONTIGUOUS) area you would like to see annexed.
And please, no whining about wanting to keep in OB or chewing up good pow stashes. This is just something that would be neat to see controled and lift accessed.
Marjorie Bowl next to the basin for me.
this thought brought to you buy the basins rather odd plan to expand into 'Zuma bowl....
Here at Sun Valley they have plans to take Turkey Bowl, which sits off the back of Seattle Ridge and turn it into a lift serviced part of the mountain. Right now it is one of the last places that still holds fresh snow days after a storm. Currently you have to duck the ski area boundary ropes to access the area.
They also have a whole slew of other plans in store for this place.
Anyone that is interested can look at the master plan here: http://www.sunvalley.com/resort_info...masterplan.cfm
White Wolf at Squaw.
The rest of the Tetons @ JH.
How about Alta annexing Snowbird and getting rid of those pesky snowboarders??
The Cirque, Westshore, and Thunderbowl. But mostly the Cirque.
Kookwood Beeeyatch.
If they hold a comp is it really OB?Quote:

Sure, Hourglass in Crested Butte is OB surrounded by IB, and that is a favorite competition spot in good snow years.Quote:

Alpine Meadows should annex Squaw Valley.
But then where would all the smelly hippie telemarkers ski without their bastion of short, slow lifts, and pseudo-liberal tree-hugging falsities? Better leave Alpine to them....and keep Squaw for us arrogant assholes.Quote:

The Negatives off the back side of June Mountains J7 chair.
I want a-basin to add the montezuma bowl to their terrain, that'd be awesome.
Annexing Patsey Marley and Wolverine Cirque would be pretty sweet.
Has anybody else seen the back side of alyeska? That place is PIMP
They have it: The Sol-Bright pass. Or do they not do that anymore?Quote:

What about snaking it? :FIREdevilQuote:

Good luck. I've only know one person who has poached the Cirque. As I recall it was done on the left shoulder on a socked in day. It's possible on a really shitty vis day, but you don't exactly want to go in there if you can't see where you're headed.Quote:

That said, some people do poach a mellow chute near Hell's. And there were a ton of tracks in the meat of it last week. Patrol does ski it, just nobody else. Which sucks, but that's Kirkwood for you. On a couple of occasions I've seen patrol keep chair 10 closed just so they can lap it. Thanks guys!
Really? Nothing against the Kwood patrol, but they seem kind of understaffed for that kind of response. But then hardly anyone skies thunder saddle, so you´d be conspicuous. If the cirque emptied somewhere more popular you´d be set. Hopefully I´ll have season pass to worry about next season, since I won´t make it back for close.Quote:

Actually, it's been in their permit area for years, but it would be cool to see them finally do it.

I heard killington wants to get annexed by new hampshire. that would be funny.
I don't know about annexing but it sure would be nice if someone went up to the Face at Jay and cut all those damn shrubs. I'm talking all of them. Is that too much to ask?
