Quality posts there Forrest.

I do have a clue Rog, as I have computed the slope of your STOKE mathematically(Petrics can check my calculations). I do believe this m>0, therefore increasing STOKE whether the increase be linear or otherwise don't fuckin ' matter!! Your STOKE is on the UP!!, and for that I am stoked.

Peace be to one and all ECRC's.

Make sure you're packing heat in case you run into wolves.

Try to avoid the weekends, it is a complete junk show.

Anyone else going to teh TGR flik?

[Breakwater]

I'm Confused.
I still haven't read before Cocks messages-
And with what seems to be a bunch of fake ass stoke- can anyone with any form of credibility tell me what's going on here?

The name of the thread is even "a new hope"

I don't want to deal with some knee to waist high shit. Is this website worth coming back to again?

Im hoping I've missed something.

[thewon]

I'm Confused.

to put it mildly

I don't want to deal with some knee to waist high shit. Is this website worth coming back to again?

Well, living in the high rent district of not shore mass and schralping teh gnar of cannon is knee to waist to a T.

Nod and smile, brah

[thewon]

Na'ah... When did you get stoked on Tuckerman? I guess you're just so cool you're initiation didn't include April and safe time of year, nor the weekend.

Tucks on the Weekend inspired me to base my life around skiing. Which led to bangin chicks, living in Alta plus BCC, Jackson for years.

I'm going to call bullshit and say cat in jan you're first time at tucks was on the weekend and memorable.

After being elitist for a while you come back down and realize your folly,

Strive for that.
From an: (elitist)

weekends and holidays weekends and holidays lol!

so if you were to do it again would it be alta, bcc, or Jackson?

[cat in january]

Sure was on a weekend and it sure was memorable. Yeah the bowl has always had a party atmosphere in the Spring and people play to the crowd by doing crazy things. Just have seen more crashes of out of control skiers and riders in to the conga line. The danger level takes away from the experience for me.

Person is asking for tips and my tip was to avoid the weekend if you can. A warm midweek day there will be plenty of people and the party will be going, but it will be a much more enjoyable place.

[thewon]

Cascades. If not them extra years in LCC, but not a lifetime. Jackson really isn't that great, I mean kind of great, but OB LCC is way better; unless we're talking GTNP which I unfortunately didn't get up to but everyone eventually perishes with enough time spent up there anyway.

Spring of 95' I left bethel Maine and drove straight to bc across Canada, all over the Pnw on my way thru bozone thru Jackson and eventually settled for Lcc. I woulda totally gone for bc, interior for sure, but I wasn't a trusty nor part of the par-lement, so Canadia was out. Jackson was a def no go. Dint like the smell or vibe of the place. Lcc was good for pow but the corn/spring skiing sucks donkey balls compared to Sierra, pnw, or high nh. Love my corn. Corn with staying power. The winter spent in bcc was pretty amazing. Quiet over there compared to the hyped shit show that was lcc in 1995. Worse now.

coloRADo. Spent time there in 92' when I was 19. I'd do coloRADo again. Tricky snowpack, but the vibe and size of mountains and beauty is pretty amazing. Sw coloRADo ftw!
