Look up some of the classic threads like "I'm not going to bother with SLC, since I can get twice the days in at Okemo and Stratton for the same $".

Gee, maybe you could just stay at the gnar that's Sundown (oh right, "the institution") and "ski" all day and night to get the most "runs" in and brag about it in your signature block.

Okemo and Stratton have some pretty tough terrain if you know where to look.

Looks like a signature line. Apparently you haven't been exposed to tough terrain, and with 40+ years of least coast experience, I've been all over (and around) those berms.

I think by "look" he means across the valley....

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.

So if I were to join alpine zone, is the comment above typical of the condescending, insulting, and prejudiced remarks that would be allowed by the moderator??

Well said!

man, you put greg in his place!

*BUMP*for the 2012-2013 season! If you are tired of the juvenile guttersniping at TGR and yearn for a snowriding forum that matches your maturity level, all I can say is: "Come join the fun"!

You do realize many of us grew up back east, learned to ski that shit, then went west. Anyone who thinks the skiers at Okemo are better than the skiers at Squaw is an idiot of the highest order, making it unsurprising that you would believe that.

You're comment on west vs. east intelligence levels is interesting. When I graduated from high school the college with the highest SAT scores was in Southern California. You might be dumb enough that you can't even figure out which school that is. Would you mind showing us some sort of statistical analysis which backs up your theory? Somehow I doubt you are exactly a Fellow of the SOA when it comes to having a head for numbers, but maybe you will surprise me.

If you are looking for people that are above the juvenile gutter sniping (shouldn't an eastern intellectual know that should be two words?) why do you engage in it when here?

[stuckathuntermtn]

He won't take the bait, that's the annoying part. He only has one thing to say and thinks that we somehow aren't here for the sophomoric humor and want to talk serious ski stuff with people who have trouble with Jimmy Juega on a warm sunny day with plenty of coverage. lulz.

Yeah. About time someone did it. Pow!

I won a pair of Praxis at Alpinezone. Definately worth checking out. Greg is amazing.

Bad words. EVERYBODY should know by now that Alpinzone is a great forum.

AZ would be hard for me, how could I not mock vids like this. Lulzs at 2:36

Bahahaha!!! Some money quotes in this vid.

"Saddle it up baby!!"

"Wow lots of snow in here" SCRAPE SCRAPE

Really?! Apparently you have been skiing in the wrong places. By my unofficial count there are more triple black diamond trails in the East than the West, hence, tougher terrain on the "Least" Coast. Case=closed.

Some of the posters are right though - that guy Greg is a bit of a douche.

Yes, you're quite correct, and, in fact, my son and I once went down a double black at Flatton backwards just to see how gnar it was.

Apparently you missed the threads where trail ratings are for the places being rated, not in a general sense.

Hopefully you're just a troll, since if you really believe "By my unofficial count there are more triple black diamond trails in the East than the West, hence, tougher terrain on the "Least" Coast. Case=closed.", you're absolutely, completely and thoroughly clueless. Thanks for the sig line anyway.

bwahahahahaa

Now I get it. You're the best skier on the mountain!

No, no, it's just all those quintuple black diamonds at Flatton and Nokemo are so wicked that they can be had going backwards, so uber-gnar.

I think you should reside at Alpinezone and join the festivities as apparently you've drunk deep of the fool-aid.

Your sarcasm meter is broken

Sent from my cell phone. no, a cell phone.

look man. it's just basic statistics. more diamonds = more gnar, and the EC has more diamonds.

enjoy your squares and circles in west of the mississipp JONG

[neckdeep]

look man. it's just basic marketing. more diamonds = more marketing , and the EC has more clueless city people who buy into that BS.

enjoy your deep powder and big mountain skiing west of the mississipp JONG

Fixed it for you. Double blacks in the real mountains usually means cliffs and chutes. For example, the ghee, often cited as a fairly unchallenging mountain in terms of terrain, all the double black has 15 to 40 foot cliffs that can be either aired or passed through by rocky chutes. And there are some other steep cliff bands with 10 foot airs that only rate a single black. I think if AZ Greg would post up something other than recycled drivel from Killington's marketing department we'd shut up. Except for Tuckermann's, I've never seen the footy or pic to back up the claims. More realistic marketing woud be "we got some decent hills and you are gonna pay through the nose for our massive snow making infrastructure cuz some winters, well, it barely snows but we got that covered (except for that every third year when its too warm to run the snow guns and your pass gets you muddy slush and dead leaves)."

nice try, but let's see which one of us is still standing tall and proud at the bottom of Outer Limits after bashing the longest steepest bump run in the UNIVERSE

it wont be one of you blue square shredders from west of teh mighte mississip

7.5 years must be some kind of internet record. When they build the internetz hall of fame, greg needs to be on the first ballot for the Minnkota Award for Lifetime Achievement
