In other news, it snowed hard in the northern mountains.

Did anyone participate in Bluebird’s opening weekend?

2" reported snow. Apparently my boots are 2" tall or the blackout skiers just stayed in their lane.

Was he there one skiing some chute around this time last year in high avy danger and saying he'd be fine? And promoting his guide book at the same time I think?

Not High. Extreme. And the slide path ran huge within 12 hours I believe.

Musings of a madman.

Fritz and Gary might come off as weird, but at least they aren't shit talking people in a weather thread on an internet forum (AFAIK).

...and he still asserted he made the right call because he knew the terrain and snowpack so well.

the area they ski is skied all to hell on a regular basis well worn skin tracks easy access you can assess the avalanch danger however you want sure J shoot is there for a reason
^^^^^and yeah that's a funny story in my opinion somepeople over react but in this case it was search and rescue and the sherriff call it how you want to plenty of people have been fucked up there over the years
my opinion is they weren't doing anythign wrong judge how you want

He hasn't learned since last year:

Step-1 - fluff your feathers/pound your chest about how radical you are.
Step-2 - get called out for not conveying the risks (or your risk tolerance) to others.
Step-3 - walk it back by: (a) further beating your chest about how radical you are as well as an excellent judge of terrain, snowpack and weather, and (b) qualifying your post by saying trust your own judgement, etc.

That would be fine (sort of), if he didn't repeat this pattern over and over again. He's the anti-Bruce Tremper, IMHO.

Until you get caught in a slide, you always made the right assessment.

**The SnowShow** · 02-18-2020, 09:43 PM

Is @powhoar on here? I keep seeing some sick content on Instagram...

**I've seen black diamonds!** · 02-19-2020, 02:14 PM

Indians peaks in good shape. Recent snow less windfucked than usual.

**wolfelot** · 02-21-2020, 07:50 AM

What exactly is this event in downtown Denver tomorrow? Is it a contest among pros? A contest for the general public? Can anybody hit the rails? I’m sort of thinking about taking my 4-year-old, but not if it’s going to be dumb.
