  1. OH Shit I've been elsewhere so I haven't been up in a while ......hope he heels up quick one of the most solidly cool guys in the state.
  2. We have to find a good way to civily fight back perhaps make our own stickers and put them on those stupid white buggies security runs around in. A could of peeps in Manayunk did that a few years ago, it was hilarious to see Parking Auth. cars with ASSHOLE stickers.
  3. Shit I didn't realize it was such a steal the five day sounds sweet and I could spend a day at Burke and Magic. Do you have to use them consecutivley?
  4. It was his first real attempt and I bet he could give you a run for your money on a Nastar course. Doesn't Stowe switch over soon?
  5. I think it is his hydration tube from his Camelback, apparently my brother was thirsty
  6. Date: March 6 - 9 Location: Jay, Steux, Smuggs, Montpelier Music: http://Johnny.Law.JustGotOwned.com/ - it
  7. Those liability waivers don't mean shit, there is no way bear would let randoms work. The cost increase of insurance would make it more cost effective to just employ more people.
  8. Deer Valley sounds like that place for you. They groom like it is their ticket to heaven, long trails that are easy to go fast on and plush accomidations. If you want to step it up a little DV would be ok for that too. DV is in Park City not SLC so there is a ton of stuff to do with really nice resturants and bars. The best part is unlike CO, DV is at most an hour from the airport. Whistler is a crap shoot, good weather and it can be magical but rain can and does fuck that up alot. I guess if money isn't and issue look at Euro, St. Anton or Cham would really rock your world and they have realllllllyyyyy long trails. Food and drink are top notch and the hotels can get as fancy as you like.

    skis.

    Wow that is a good price, there is no real difference between this and last year's. I have heard bad things about GetBoards in that they can take forever to ship. I would go with the 170 unless you aren't planning to get out of the park at all with these. IMO length does not affect spinning as much as it does chatter on the groomers.
  10. Even Bear will make it through this...stay positive.
  11. Its a water treatment system, you would be amazed at how many places do this. Sewage water is blown into the woods using the older style guns which require a seperate compressed air hose, the snow melts and the water is filtered by nature, at least theoritically. I was told it was all of the waste water from the whole operation but that sounds insane I would imagine maybe its the "grey" water. I remember a white paper on the possibility of blowing waste water into snow for skiing and the dude said that they could not detect any problems with skiing on crap water. Just don't eat the snow. Essentially if you have well water or older style water treatment plants this is how you get your drinking water too.
  12. Me neither..... still somewhat boner inducing the end of skiing in the east is still a long ways off. NOAA in all its wonder has thousands of stations across the country measuring gobs and gobs of info regarding snowpack. One of things they measure is current melting rates and it doesn't look all that bad. Additionally if you switch to station info the snow temp is only bad from VT south excluding the NY highpeaks. http://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/interactive/htm...o12=1&o13=1 The larger remote sensor system page is here http://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/interactive/htm...p;js=1&uc=0
  13. Hahaha really no way! Seriously though dude just because we are from PA doesn't mean we are larry jongs from NJ ducking ropes to rip the slackcountry. I had AIARE level one two years ago, my cousin has had 1 & 2, WFAC and a WFAR recert. We have toured all over the Wasatch and Uintas, Timp, Grizzly, Wolverine, Cardiac Ridge, NW face of Provo Peak, Red Top and countless others. I have climbed and skied with him since I was 12 and wouldn't think twice to trust him with my life outside of a car of course....dude can't drive for s**t. We take saftey very seriously and as much as anyone really can limit the risks that are involved. Compared to the above Strawberry is a walk in the park, Fantasy in bounds at Solly is far more gnar.
  14. Do it up the more pics on here the better and have fun my pow intuition tells me your in for a good one.

    skis.

    100% honest.... to date the only serious advice I have ever given...... get ARWs, I have actually ridden them and they are a blast. Soft like a park ski should be but can still haul ass in the pipe or on groomers. I have three pairs of AR5s which are the older brother of sorts to the ARW and I wouldn't trade them for the world. I hear from time to time some durability issues but I have had no problems, the pair I ride with at Bear alot has probably 150+ days on them including a particular trip to Mt. Washington where I dragged them the last 1/4 mile out. If you buy this years version you can get it cheap like $240 from BC, buy them and never look back. http://www.backcountry.com/store/ARM0026/A...Ski-Womens.html
  16. Huh ? Are you saying the middle of the ski or board sits higher off the ground than the tips ? I think you are talking about camber and that means your boards are totally shit now. There isn't anything you can do about it now either it occurs as a result of the manufacturer making your board during a full moon. Seriously though every board you have ever owned was probably convential camber, reverse or the partial reverse jobs are mostly thought of to be for pow pow as traditional camber has no real use in pow pow. Some people have brought some reverse camber stuff to the park but the jury is still out if it actually does anything. For pow though they rock, smear turns are wicked fun they do not carve though so Ski look elsewhere.
  17. I will be in VT tomorow through monday buty even there it is looking mixed though even NWS sucks more than two or three days out
  18. Maybe your version of a long hike and mine are two different things....and just so you know jackass UT leaving the area is fine long as you stay out of the permanent avy closure areas. I guess the hordes that drop off the back of No Name or Allen's into Ogden and thus leaving the area are traveling "out of bounds"

    Maine

    This reminds me of the ice tower they build in Alaska, aparently there isn't a lot to do in Maine and AK http://www.alaskanalpineclub.org/IceTower/WebCam.html
  20. EDIT: Forget it .........some of you whiney b*tches need to get the hell out of PA once in while
  21. Sometimes you just have to say "I am an irresponsible person and but skiing infront of family, friends and work"
  22. I think someone had an kids boot at SIA that would change sizes as they grow, may want to check it out.
  23. I really hope we get some out of this. LOBSTER BACKS!
