Yeah crowds were pretty tame for a day like this. The lift line at the end of the video was relatively short, less than 10 minutes, and that was the longest line I waited in all day (aside from the ~20 minutes spent waiting for the top to open). I got 6 runs of "first tracks" where I was...

We got less snow that we'd hoped for (the Sesame plot said ~5" while we'd hoped for more like a foot), and in some places you'd hit the subsurface. The wind stripped some things but also made some places deep, including Dave's and Dragon's Tail. Through a combination of luck and intuition, I...

no worries, do you have that other shot we were looking at before? I think there was a head on one in there somewhere that looked pretty good.

Of course, you post the picture where it looks like I'm about to lose my shit.

If the goal is really to reduce vehicle traffic/congestion, and improve safety then it seems to me the best answer is public transit along the lines of trains or whatever. Something going up LCC that is protected by avalanche barriers or whatever. Lifts connecting LCC to BCC & Park City would...

But Rusty specifically has been around awhile. I would have expected him to have learned that lesson long ago.

I didn't see this on the front page, but may have missed it. http://thesheetnews.com/archives/12749 http://unofficialnetworks.com/pink-slip ... ate-79827/ Emphasis mine, I find the bolded line shocking. Were Rusty et all really so naive as to make that projection, when last season was the...

This is why I'm a little surprised at the desire to go for the super 7, but maybe the S7 is more of a noodle than I remember.

Why not? It's even easier to print digital pics than film; you can just email/upload the files to your local store, and pick them up when they're ready. It sounds like you aren't printing them because you aren't in the habit of it, like you are with film. This is not a fault of the medium. It...

It's hard to overstate her impact on skiing. She was the first high-profile woman in the park scene. She was an integral part of freestyle skiing as it developed from moguls to slopestyle & pipe over the last decade and a half. For years she was the only woman around pushing those limits...

There was a time not very long ago when Big Bear was arguably better than Mammoth.

I've got to imagine Big Bear will be worse than Mammoth this week, what with the warm temps we've had lately. Mammoth has had highs in the 40's this week on the hill (50's in town) with overnight lows in the 20's so it's presumably getting into a melt-freeze cycle. Big Bear, on the other hand...

This is spot on. China may be belching out coal plants as fast as anyone, but they are also throwing more money at renewable/clean research than anyone else. A good example is molten salt thorium fission which the US first developed in the 1950's but abandoned in favor of uranium because the...

This TR is very late, but hey it's summer, and I finally got the pictures from my buddy Ben, so I figured it's worth a share. The Solstice Couloir is a pretty sweet line on the north-east face of Mt. Dana, serving up roughly 1200 vertical, the top half of which is around 40+ degrees. It is a...

I suppose that's correct, but I think it's in the best interest of your site if you did. More on this below. I don't see how Marc_C's comments there were supposed to summarily end the discussion. The discussion was prompted by a perceived difference in late-spring lift op management between...

Trolling on your own forum, classy. And you wonder why there's so few active users...

Not to mention the 5-7 feet that's expected this week...

=D> .

That's the TST. It is similar to the JJ but more directional, a bit narrower, and with tip rocker and no tail rocker. It was a limited mid-season release this year and will be in full release for 2011-2012.

=D> Brilliant! (bet you would have kept it up if you were going faster :lol:)
