Wasatch 23/24 Stoke Thread: Red Snake Coverage coming at you live from tgapp's fartba

[Duffman]

It was just a couple weeks ago that I learned that the awesome hilarious Snowbird patrol take over of the Alta Ski Patrol instagram

see https://www.instagram.com/p/CNH9Q6fgGUj/ and a series of about a dozen hilarious video clips and memes

happened because a certain Evil Gennius of a Snowbird Patroller had registered the @altaskipatrol insta account four years previously and had posted enough good and legit seeming Alta Ski Patrol content to establish credibility. Combination of the insta takeover and monolith made that my favorite in recent years, second place would be same Eveil Gennius's work painting high boy in snowbird colors in 2011:

Solid work

Nice! At some point when the TGR app was down again I broke down and bought the lifetime membership for pretty cheap.

Found the Sun Crust Basin map. We watched a couple SSP guys have to bring this big ass sign out in their laps on the Mineral lift. Wife was cracking up the whole time

Any chance you have the high res file? Can't read the trail names!

See if that's better. If not I can link to the original (I have peon Tapatalk so it downscales everything)

So good. [emoji23]

Good day.
Got one or two more Ikon days at the basin.
And a purty flexible schedule...

I’d enjoy that and am looking at my schedule.

Kinda thinking of flying back into town on Saturday the 20th and back out on a redeye on the 21st just to go to The Frank this year. Anybody planning on being there?

[Phall]

Will be there with a crew. Always a good time. Probably should have stayed and waited out the road but decided to bail. What a morning.

I might go. I wonder whether SLSAR has a whirlybird on call and ready to airlift gaper drunkard/stonards down from the attempted highboy fail

Damn, can't even edit a post with the jacked up TGR server migration.

God bless Smile Jamaica.

Today rocked, even though the tram, Peruvian, and Little Cloud were closed most of the day Zoom was kicking. Most everyone cleared out mid day with the closure, shit was walk on from then out. I’ve been skiing poorly most of the season, today I finally put it together.

Hugehairdog was killing it, he’s a couple days from 70, he skied until closing bell. I had fun reminiscing with one of the Green brothers, love them boys.

I tried to take pics today, but the conditions weren’t conducive.

Nice bob it was snowing hard, figured it would be a fun afternoon in rad valley.

Before bailing i got my wife into the cirque for the first time ever, where she immediately got whiteroomed, also for the first time ever. It filled my heart with joy and will be one of my best memories of the season.

No pics again today but that was stellar. After 15 years I had never skied Eddie’s on a drop and was one of the first 10-12 through. Awesome laps through the rest of the day and was #2 through the lowest snowbird gate at 2pm which capped off the day nicely.

My season in the wasatch is done; I'm back east for the summer. It started pretty bleak, light footing around the mountain with a 35" base when I got here late December, but it ended up being another great season of skiing pow. We are some lucky people to get to ski these resorts; the skiing is amazing and being surrounded by really cool people who share the skiing obsession is a treat.

This year the BCC weekend experience was vastly improved - the reservation systems made weekends much more enjoyable. I didn't wait in traffic at the light once all year, and I was not leaving crazy early (generally hit the mouth around 7:30-8 on weekends).

On the topic of parking - I'll cash in a bitch ticket. I've asked about Solitude parking details for next season on Instagram and my comments have been removed from both Solitude and IkonPass instagram accounts. It seems pretty reasonable to want to know how much we'll pay to park before buying a season pass, but they seem to disagree. It seems like Solitude primed to pull something shitty for parking next season if they're so adamant about the question not being asked / answered. If you're curious about parking at Soli next year, hit them with some comments, maybe if the pressure builds they'll change their tune and provide some details.

[NBABUCKS1]

pretty sure bitch tickets don't carry over to next year, use them or lose them.

seems bad business they don't have those parking details locked down by now. It's not like there is some major infrastructure change that will happen between now and next year that would affect decision making (unless there is). Pow mow is trying hammer out details with parking/shuttles so they've been mum on details, for now.

Good weekend. Can't upload photos anymore? I'm only seeing the option to post a photo URL
