The guy obviously has some issues. I don't know the dude. All I know is what he did in that lift line, and that is a sign of a serious problem. Right now he is not the kind of person you want to be around when skiing, and having fun. I wonder how many people were affect in some minor negative way over that incident.. Doing that math he is about 40 now. Maybe life has gotten to him. Nothing more dangerous than a middle aged dude trying to make up for all the injustices he has suffered over the years.
Maybe this incident and his friends will affect some positive change. Dude looks like he is living his dream.
The dude in the Face book picture skiing with his little girl does not look like the train wreck of a human in the lift line.
Anyway, when you pick on 1 person because of their job, you are really belittling anyone with the same or similar job.

that dookie gif is priceless.
That's really the most interesting thing in this whole debacle.

This thread: Another reason to not go to Utah
Honestly I don't know, I saw the truck there a few weeks ago, the collision happened 3 years ago. We were coming down the canyon after celebrating the life of a friend to many here killed in a Snowbird avalanche. Police were on the scene but the truck wasn't found. It was a tough time and I was just glad to forget about it until I saw that truck. I wanted to just forget about it again but it's been fucking with me, I'm shaking just typing this. I know the Wade connection is probably just a coincidence but if anyone could pm me whose truck this is it would be appreciated.

I love this thread.
And fuck the whole, "this guy scrubs shitters so he can ski a lot THEREFOR he can be a douche to whoever he wants and we should thank him for it." That is tarded.

Also, passionate could apply to just about any asshole. Anger is passion.
Hmm, you see that pic of him wiht the kid and think he must be an all right guy. I see that pic and am reminded of the fact that people with mental disorders often have kids for very selfish reasons, and the emotional well being of the child comes in a distant second to the rage and self centeredness of the parent. People that act like this guy do not make good parents.
I actually felt really bad for the Snowbasin patroller that Dascunt got fired. That guy seemed to be having a bad day and made one pretty shitty comment, in a calm voice, and most likely understood and realized it was wrong afterwards.
EVERYONE admits wade is a rageful prick, even his friends. Its not what happens when he has a bad day, its who he is. I'm sure he is real nice to his bros, but a man's character isnot measured by how he acts when it is convenient and rewarding for him to be nice, its how he acts when it is hard to treat others well. It is also not measured by how he acts one time when he does something he shouldnt have, but your actions become habits, which over time define your character.
You and I butted heads once in cukoos nest. We were trying to get out of your way, you got a bit agro there was someone else daring to ski your line and not moving through it fast enough, we wanted to get set up to take a pic first. I wrote that off as powder day excitement and competition and didnt make any assumptions about your charecter based on that interaction. Wade is well, a bit of a different breed.
Not sure what the statute of limitations is, but give the plate # to the cops?

Gathering or Gordy Camp? I know I have skied with you and honestly don't remember this. I am sorry if I had done something to come across as AGRO. but I will be fist to admint that I am far from a perfect human. I am generaly indiffent to the group. don't remember names. Go where I want when I want. Its just me, I try.
but I really do like skiing with the Utah crews.
Interesting for me to think about. My normal caused me to create an incident that you remember 3? 5? years later, and I am oblivious.
Some people get off the chair stop and get ready to run, wait for others ect. I come off the chairs with my poles at the ready and GO! Then stop 100 yards down the hill and have a smoke.. Maybe I need to do some reasesment of my ???? related to sking with freinds

I would imagine this shitshow will bring about a gut-check with Johnny. For the record, I don't in any way condone the shit he said on FB. It was crude and out of line, and I honestly found it embarrassing as a friend. I'm fine with the line call out. Stepping on line cutters skis is funny. Its happened before and it will happen again.
I just really have an issue with the way this is getting blown up to the point that it may have an impact on his employment or his ability to ski Alta. When I referred to his skiing habits, it wasn't in justification of any of his behavior. It was more along the lines of..."he's a somewhat eccentric skiing kook who has structured his life around skiing." I think any of us who has immersed themselves in a mountain scene somewhere knows a person or two who fits this bill and can appreciate some of these elements.
He manages the housekeeping dept at the P-Dog, works his ass off, skis his ass off and loves his kids. Is he a little off his rocker? Sure. He'd probably be the first to tell you that. I wish he never wrote that garbage on FB, but I'm fairly sure he doesn't take it anywhere near as seriously or literally as some of you. But that certainly doesn't make it right, because clearly perception is everything. Similarly, those of you who suggest I fellate John are essentially guilt of the same shit, but I'm not about to call your employer. I'm just sticking up for an old friend who said some regrettable shit on the fucking internet.
Did you read the whole facebook series? His friends were egging him on and even jumped in on that woman. Sure, a little facebook battle isn't like getting all stabby in person but the guys is seriously unhinged that is for sure. And no one seems to be not sticking up for him. Even a douchehole of the board is sticking up for his lunacy because he skis a lot.
i'm going to upper deck some toilets at the p-dogg next time I'm up at the top of little cottonwood!!!!
pay back's a bitch, don't fuck with JONG maggots, only maggots get to fuck with the JONGS!
The thing with douchebags, eventually they get called out on their douchebaggery. This guy just made the mistake of being a dick to someone with a gopro and then gloated about it on FB to feed his ego.
I doubt an internet thread is really going to change this dudes behavior. Maybe a real life impact will do the trick.
We've won it. It's going to get better now. You can sort of tell these things.
Feel free to call my employer when i tell you to get Mr Wades cock out of your mouth, i dont work in the HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY that caters to clients. I fucking hope that this doesnt cause the Peruvian lost customers. I dig that place and get all my ski tunes done downstairs. But with people like this dude "representing" alta in any way is bad news...loose cannons cause issues that can sometimes never be recovered from. If i were some tourist and saw this go down and found out where Mr Wade worked, id likely never stay there..how do i know he wont lose it cause i fucked my lady on her rag and messed up the sheets in my room?
I hope it costs him his job..maybe that will be the "wakeup" call he needs to get his anger in check.
yo flow best ya can do is quit bumpin this thread and call your bro and get him to start doin some sincere aploguisin and get papa bro to get old little baby bro coulter to delete that facefuck fiasco
Frankly I don't see how alta would let him keep his pass in light that indirectly he represents them
in such a negitive manner, but weirder shit has happened
you reap that which you sow
and papa bro done sowed a cereal case of check me out I'm a baddaass efuckup
