That's the old Mt Tuckermans??? No wonder they closed the lift!

4000/6 miles =12.6% grade. Sounds pretty gnarly.

You'd ski the creek bottom? 12.6% end to end. Ahhh, I guess ya dont even know what a canyon looks like so I'll elaborate....the west side canyons run up into the Tetons and go back about six miles. The typical canyon slope is 3000 feet and varies from 20% to vertical as the glaciers cut a lot of sheer cliffs in the 100 to 400 foot range. The glaciers carved the walls and, generally, it's way steeper stuff than eastern mountains. So, basically take two Tuckerman's and strech them back for six miles with numerous side canyons. Just sayin, there's more badass stuff in the typical Teton backyard than the whole of New England. Sorry, but that's the way it is AND if you eastern guys didn't get so hyper-defensive and self-delusional about this accident of geology, this wouldn't be any fun.

Dude, there's clearly NOTHING that steep in the Tetons. GAME OVER!!!!!!

Not to be critical, but it might be a bit early in this discussion to bring in the big guns.

You will also find that the denizens of whatever community you choose will tend to be more educated and well-rounded, not your typical western cowboy types.

I think most all of you will find that our seasoned moderators "keep the bar high" by maintaining a sense of order and decorum, while encouraging quality discussion about our favorite pastime. It may take a small amount of getting used to, as we do have reasonable standards as far as language and image posting that are strictly enforced. .

Nice to see we're getting under you skin, that's Fun Your hypocritical enough to post things on TGR that would theoretically be moderated on your forums? Or you only care about reasonable standards when talking about the East Coast, but standards don't apply when talking about the West?


The truth is that I'm glad you have this attitude. Please do keep up the good work. Everyone should go east, ski the steeper mountains, and destroy their knee's in the bumps. It's a great service you do to lure people away from the West. It's too crowded here anyway and our mountains are flat and covered with man made ice.

This is Greg's finest hour. Some shit gets old, and some shit is funny every time.

This is definately the latter.

What he said. I've skied some of the toughest runs in the West (including the Back Bowls at Vail) and I've got to say I'm not that impressed. My guess is that you've never skied Jaws of Death at Mount Snow...

More signature material. This guy is a gold mine....

Your obvious inability to ski moguls is nothing to be ashamed of. Some of the better EC skiers (not me, of course) might be willing to give you a lesson were you schedule a trip to Killington in January. It might get a bad rap from time to time but Killington goes have some SICK terrain and a few bump lessons would almost certainly help make you a more complete snowslider.

I'm sure Kyle Busch would be a more complete driver if he mastered the intricacies of drifting 1980s era front wheel drive Honda Civics. Of course, he may just blow out his brains rather than waste his time on some bullshit pursuit.

Oh, don't worry I'd still be fun

The argument isn't if the skiing is more "gnar" out west or back east... it's that the East coast (specifically VT) breeds better skiers.

It's a fact, I read it on an internet forum once.

I believe it has to do with fluoride in the tap water

Wait, what?! I thought this was a ski/snowboard forum - does Kyle Busch have a ski team too?

[Vt-Freeheel]

Who's Kyle Busch?

[I've seen black diamonds!]

He must mean Kyle Vanden Busch, the Defensive End for the Detroit Lions.

[Powder Pussy]

Who's Kyle Busch?

I never heard of him either, and I know a lot about Busch.

[Bromontana]

Behold Kyle Busch



in action



what he represents



proof

On May 24, 2011, Busch was cited for reckless driving and speeding in Troutman, North Carolina, driving 128 mph (206 km/h) in a 45 mph (72 km/h) speed limit zone.[35] He claims he got carried away test driving a Lexus LFA and issued a public apology.

[Powder Pussy]

He looks like a ghey astronaut candy bar?

[Bite Me]

Kyle Busch drives a Camry - Bwaahahahahahahaha. Pussy.

He probably thinks northleast skiing is gnar too.

Do I sense a "Bromance?"

[mtnbiker/boarder]

The hell with kyle busch, I would like to lick her bush... can i say that on TGR??? yes I can .. but not in alpinezone....might be a bit much????

[stuckathuntermtn]

need to factor in some relativity theory too... i mean... you can't forget that it's possible the electrons could take a quantum leap and rearrange themselves and make the trail steeper for moment.

Don't forget that Schrodenger's Cat thing, too. Is the trail steeper when you look at it? Does it no longer exist when you don't look at it?

This thread is brilliant.

hey!! this thread turned into a mini alpinezone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
