Proof that even if the forum is technically a train wreck, there is still gold here Jerry! Nice one 2funky.

If you read his story it's been mentioned a bit. Went semi loco back in the day. Was technically on the run when filmed blizzard. Did a short stint in the clink i think I read. Prob been sober for 35 ish yrs. Man of the Lord I think.
For ppl like us it's either sober or some form of a fucking mess.

Yeah I havent read his story, IMO it good if you can recognise that ^^ before you should quit before you fuck up too much, YMMV as they say so I recognise just buying my wine by the case saves time & gas money

Thread started as a depressing “meh” and now we get some Plake pics and recent sightings and interactions. Love it!
He hosted a [emoji640]x[emoji640] tv show years ago that I loved. People used their own rigs to try and tackle a course.

We were in Chamonix a few years ago outside the guide office and someone mentioned Blizzard of Ahs and Glenn, and Glenn walked by.(Same trip waiting for the Tram at Grandes Montets --"see that guy--he won the FWT/ See that woman--she won an Olympic medal in the 50's." Interesting place, Chamonix)

Every time I see him post on Instagram, he makes me smile. He is truly one of a kind. Maybe one day I'll actually meet him.

Just listened to a couple year old Powell Movement podcast with Plake. Good history including his outlaw days crammed into an hour. Worth a listen. Just missed him at three different ski areas by a day or two each last week. Would have been cool to take a few laps with the posse on my home hills. Met him 20 or so years ago at Kirkwood and he was a super cool and gracious guy to chat with for the few minutes I got to.

Nobody isn't posting in this thread. Too bad or he would learn all about Glen Plake.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Couldn’t help but notice that GP was rocking his PSIA pin.
My buddy took his level 2 exam with Plake. They both passed.

Dude is a legend.
Love that he's still skiing and touring around.

Similar story to old goat. Was in chamonix a few years ago hanging in the courtyard in front of the aiguille du midi after a day of skiing and Plake walks by with a new pair of skis he's taking to Concept to get mounted. We talked for a few minutes, mentioned that we had met him a bunch of years ago when he was doing his tour stopping at small east coast ski areas and shops. During that tour, I was working at a shop at the time and got to hang with him for a while there, then my brother ended up taking some park laps with him and was trying to teach him how to 270 onto a rail or something. The guy's stoke for skiing is eternal. A few of us have also ended up getting some shop work done at Concept, cause if they're good enough for Plake, then they're probably a shop worth supporting.
