Did I forget to mention that I am 26 feet tall???
Shit! I always prided myself on knowing which one was the "real" summit, I am so pissed at the Sundance Shamans right now it isn't even funny.
Wait, isn't that Kelsey guy gay? Those shorts are a little short, if you know what I mean. Oh I also recently found out that the whole Richard Gere gerbalizing incident is a hoax. Lately I have been wondering if the world is really round.

I just emailed KSL news and 'informed' them of the days events, and how off base their report was.

Is Ruth Todd still there? Did you let them know that even though she is older, I would still hit it?

Ruth Todd was excused from KSL before the Olympics . . . . scandal about her bumpin' uglies with some beater in the armed forces.
I sent the following email last night:
Dear Mr. Eubank,
Several [maggots] I know, myself included, found your incredulous response to someone skiing from the top of Timponogos to be quite the overreaction. Granted, conditions in the back country can be very dangerous, as illustrated by the recent death of Shane Maixner near The Canyons; but, it is not wholly uncommon for skiers to hike or skin - rather than helicopter - to the top of our mountains for the sheer joy of skiing where others rarely go.
I think you missed the mark on this story. (No pun intended.)
Sincerely,
IG

Just now taking a look at this, but on the link above (which is now the weather on 2/5 rather than 2/4) does he say "7 to 14 FEET (of snow) between about 5500 and 7000 feet" at around 52 seconds? If his forecast is right the summit is obviously in the wrong place.
Wish I had seen the tracks described above, guess I'll have to check out Ttips.Last edited by teledave; 02-07-2005 at 10:35 AM.

I guess they rehashed and aired their story again with more accurate details.

Mark Eubank's response to my email
Unlike so many other people that might not respond to an email criticizing their work, Mark Eubank - the weatherman from KSL TV - sent me the following reply:
KudosIG,
Skiing down such a steep slope when there were small avalanche
runs visible in the picture seemed foolhardy to me. After receiving
your email I checked with Bruce Tremper at the Avalanche center and he
informed me (as you did) that the conditions that day were reasonable
for skiing! I apologize for my overreaction and I have learned
something I hadn't known in my 38 years of living here. Apparently
people ski off the peaks quite often and if they pick the right time it
is quite safe.
Thanks for taking the time to set me straight.

That is fairly uncommon…for the media to admit a mistake. Kudos to Mark!
Next week’s lesson for Mark, the difference between “surface sluff” and an actual avalanche.

As for Mark E, class act that Mark is. I dig the white jacket. RB, you've got to get yourself some snow steeze like Mark E."In the woods, we return to reason and faith.

I knew Eubanks had steeze. Nice that he was able to reply with such a reasonable response.
