    eco tgr?

    so we all live to ski thats why we use this forum... does anyone/ TGR care about their eco footprint? This has been bugging me, ie 2-stroke snowmachines and using a fucking helicopter to get some sick shot of people skiing park or a nasty flute up in AK all in the name of film. Well how are we all going to feel when we have to cover j-holes base area with a blanket at night so we dont have to download with lifts off the mountain? Just thought i could piss some people off or maybe provoke some new ideas.

    Well yeah. Skiing life = BIG carbon footprint.

    But it is hard to admit that our lifestyle is part of the problem. Add it all up:

    fuel consumption for heating, getting food and suplies up into the mountain areas, everyone driving to the areas, jet fuel B for your A-Stars, plastics in every bit of your gear from clothes to hard gear...sort of mkes the head spin.

    What is the option? Stop skiing? Less skiing?

    I power everything using a device to harness my own inflated sense of self-worth.

    Whatever happened to Bizzaro Squatch?
    He was much more humble.
    Kill all the telemarkers
    But they’ll put us in jail if we kill all the telemarkers
    Telemarketers! Kill the telemarketers!
    Oh we can do that. We don’t even need a reason

    I hate the environment, so I use the hot exhaust pipes on my sled to cook bacon every morning, it needs to run about 30min before its warm enough to cook it
