Be sure to play it safe, even in your back yard. Keep hiking for it.

Yeah there was like a foot of snowpack and I've never seen a slide on baldy ever and I've lived here for 16 years

You guys hiked that in your ski boots? I normally pack mine up. Just seems like a long approach to hike in ski boots, more of a hiking trail then a boot-pack. You picked a great day to do it, that is for sure.

Quit bumpin your lame shit. If it was good other people would bump it. You keep braggin about how you live in a badass state, why don't you go and give us a badass TR instead of climbing the local hill that your water tower rests on and saying it was a TR.

and you've over done the sunset pic thing, after awhile, they all look the same. and yours do look the same. except for the PE's in that one, that's just gay, like you.

(and my bad for bumpin this crap)

Lighten the fuck up and leave him alone.

I have to admit, this is the "least suckyest" thing you have ever posted.

For a couple of kids to get after it on a weekday and keep it local, it is pretty awesome.

I have a large backpack I throw my boots in. That trail is about 1300' vert of ice due to the use it gets. I am amazed more people do not ski down.

I think it doesn't get skied muh because of the lack of snow on it like it was a lot of bushwhacking and stuff, real fun, hard work but real fun

[ak_powder_monkey]

Just a question is it feasable to put the boots in the bindings then put the skis on the pack? and then say bike into where there is snow?
