I saw the forecast for Snowbird. unfortunately I am leaving tomorrow morning. you can't time these things when you have to travel as far as I do to get here. 4ft! have fun!

It's a bit like Schrodinger's cat. Had you stayed, it wouldn't snow.

Another shitty day in paradise. Download the video to YouTube and post the link.
And standby for a sh*tload of snow heading our way in the next week!

I feel your pain.....actually, I feel my pain. Today was day 51 between PC, Deer Valley, and Brighton. I'm practically on an ibuprofen drip, with some nightly bourbon! Sunday night into Monday - big storm plus a few for the week. I wouldn't be surprised if the bird gets 4 feet this week, after Sunda...

Oh boy. Another opportunity to spend the kids' inheritances upgrading my 2.1's!

Sounds like a good way to get more people into skiing backcountry.

I will spend most of my time skiing in the East Coast and probably 70% of the time on the slopes so I guess I wouldn't need skis that are too soft but softer than their alpine counterpart? I wouldn't buy a pair of world cup GS skis, but honestly, I don't think there's any need to "downgrade" on sti...

The other great thing about the '70's was that I wasn't almost in my 70's! Nice picture! Where was that? Nice YouTube channel, BTW. Great Montana Ski story. The photo was taken in the Absaroka's of Wyoming. We would build a snow cave as a base and spend a week skiing the nearby slopes. I was very p...

[/quote] The 70's; wooden skis, Silvretta bindings. Good times. The best thing about the 70's was that the snowmob...
