Ride the Bird and get yourself out to the bookends. If you can do this without slowing everyone up, without post holing Hillary Climb and without losing your enthusiasm and sense of enjoyment... you can then ride the High T, Backside and everything else that requires a good scoot at Alta.

For what it's worth, I have no beef with boards or whether or not they're allowed at Alta. I spent many years on one plank and currently ride the Bird with a mixed crew of skis and boards. None of the boards, BTW, can successfully manuver to the bookends according to the stipulations above and therefore have no desire to attempt similar traverses at Alta.

comparing the high-t to the bookends traverse is retarded. bookends is a groomer...

3 of the guys I ride with are better skiers than 99% of the people on this born.

We've skied Big Mt, Fernie, Kicking Horse, Schweitzer, Berthoud, Silver, Abasin, Vail, Snowbasin, Snowbird, Beavercreek, Red, Whitewater, Baker, Breck, Brighton, and countless other resorts and endless bc together, I'm pretty sure they'd ski with me at Alta. We all feed off eachother's stoke, this agument is so 1995.

groomer for how long? ...to the start of the horseshoe. Then it becomes a single traverse with a mandatory side step climb and then more skating and pushing to get to the saddle. There are many similar traverses at Alta.

...or am I missing some sarcasm?

Not that it matters or that I care. Board or don't board at Alta; but, the whole "you wouldn't like it" statement is more true than many hurt single plankers would care to admit if they knew. There are plenty of Alta traverses that just aren't freindly without two free moving legs and some poles... which we all know and has been discussed a million times.

Point is that if you board and you don't enjoy or have flat out never even attempted to get all the way out to the bookends... you prolly won't have a good time on the High T, Baldy, Backside, etc. etc over at Alta.

it does go uphill much more than the High T and the narroworness makes it hard to pass. High t is super easy to pass on till the carpet.

It's a pretty fucking accurate observation really.

**Loinlover** · 11-01-2010, 08:48 PM

Tourism = big 4 Alta
Bad reviews = bad 4 alta
Boarders from Indiana bitching about gettin off collins and having to skate for a quarter mile = bad 4 alta tourism

alta is too flat for snowboarders......and skiers.

how many times have you said where the fuck is my sled when i want it while while sayin why the fuck didn't i wax my shit b4 i came out today as you were at alta?

people just need to realize its all about deer valley or park city. plenty of vertical and everything leads right to a lift. its like someone with intelligence designed the place.

its all cool i will still b right on the best ski area in the wasangles if you kno what i mean

uh, because jump turning is a valid technique and side slipping trenches never is? And, well, jump turns just aren't that common period anymore?

**DasBlunt** · 11-01-2010, 09:03 PM

Deer Valley is next on the hit list.

**Loinlover** · 11-01-2010, 09:10 PM

shhh

if you tell anyone about the trees in deer valley i will be fucking PISSED. or the untracked powder that retirees with hip replacements can't hit.

I'd rather be the only guy climbing empire at deer valley rather than one of the 100 people in line waiting for patrol to open up terrain at the bird.

like i said alta is flat. you come to utah to ski. you come to utah to go to park city mountain resort and deer valley. you can even meet sammy davis and shawn white

No one mentioned anything about side slipping, that shit pisses most boarders off too.

Not sure what your last sentence said, jump turning is the only way I’ve seen skiers get down a chute as narrow as their skis are long, that or step down making a bunch of annoying ledges.

Snowboarders should look at the glass being mostly full. More than 99% SKI HILLS allow you do ride. So what if Alta has the guts to keep it PURE.

**My Pet Powder Goat** · 11-02-2010, 09:56 AM

^^^^gay.

Do you have any idea how bad that sucked on an iPhone?

Now I'm too lazy to scroll back up to quote the last dude to respond to me. So as for straightline; light it up brother.
