The Smuggs people love scrapple if you bring them a block from PA they will through you a free pass.

MRG is the shit ....paradise on a pow day=$$$$$. I like the concept of co-op but they have to be real careful one fucked up year and the whole thing falls apart. It would be interesting to see Magic go the co-op route though they require more blowing capacity.

Last night was crazy four or five times I saw multikid pile ups after a rail or hit, my buddy wrecked on the 30ft and kids where trying to slide it with his face still on the rail. Park crew tries but they really can't do a whole lot. If you built every booter as a death gap that would help somewhat but something has to be done before someone gets stomped on.

Amazing pics it seems your living the good life.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree as far as Bode is concerned, regardless the phone calls to your house is seriously weak sauce. I don't know why people take message board discussions to that level but your right, that shows a serious lack of character.

Hestra the end all be all of gloves

agreed though it seems like the simon/tanner debate happens every year. Anyone remember the first X Games with skiing pipe holy shit was it bad, its good to see the sport moving in the right direction. Sometimes I wish Tanner finished high school, imagine if pipe makes the Olymipics and he would win....a good interview it wouldn't be (he too old thank god). Though Armada is now the fifth largest producer of twins, so he did pretty fucking good all things considered.

^ I don't know you so I won't say things that I don't know to be true but what I don't understand is why you are so angry. I didn't know all of those "facts" about the situation with Bode's cousin but I don't disagree that he may have made a bad situation worse. I wasn't there and honestly man neither were you, so you can read every god damn thing that was written and still not know what actually went on. Even in death penalty proceedings things are twisted and obscured and in some circumstances important details are left out for procedural reasons, all I'm trying to say is to take the broader view on this. Being passionate is a positive quality but it can certainly cloud ones judgment.

I don't think I have ever said anything bad about Bear but I really don't like the two lower (not the anti-jump) hits in Black Bear, the ramps are way to quick with the vert. You get so much flex on the front of the skis because it goes from flat to 60 degrees in two feet of travel. I don't know what happened in previous years the booters and tables were really good, even now the ones in cascade are good and the half pipe hit was $$$$. I don't know why they were built like that but mellow it out the vert come on too fast.

Not to pile on but I have to agree with you on this, good people sometimes have not so great family members. Ski even you would have to admit that even as a parent you never really have 100 percent control over what your kids do, this was Bode's cousin so his interaction could have been somewhat negliable. Bode is an incredible talent, wax or no wax he still has an incredible set of abilities that very very very few others posess

My friends have a house at Jay this year.....the warmer weather and rain last week really killed the off trail skiing. Word is with a few days and a little snow all should be well up north. Now for Killy I would imagine they would need at the very least an additional foot to make the trees really skiable thought the trails are probably fine.

Sorry dude but you kind of missed the point of the place.....its like going to MRG and complaining that the place is full of moguls.

Thats awesome man! Rip it up

When you come across East Wall to Stembogen look to your left, if it looks good rip it. The glades off Jack Rabbit are $$$ and there is a little cliff near the lift. I like the Ditch too. I don't remember there being ropes just a closed sign, though who knows what coverage is like there right now.

Sorry for your loss vibes +++++++++++

This is just unacceptable Did you ask them to turn the snow making off ?

remember its wet bulb not air temp

Nice a tour of sorts, always wanted to do like a month or two.

Perhaps that would explain the lack of cash but I didn't like Vail when compared to some of the other places in Co. That doesn't mean it sucks monkey balls just that it isn't the place for me. Deer Valley isn't Pow Mow, some people like DV and some like Pow Mow, its a matter of personal choice and with all the mountains we have everyone can find one that fits them best.

Apparently my reading comprehension sucks.......Vail is flat and filed with Gapers and when you add in the hassle and price (92 $) I can never understand why people flock to it. But they have East Vail, which is avy central right now and filled with noobs, but they have the back bowls which are an endless expanse of Juggernaught like flatness. 92$ ticket and a BILLION on real estate development and they cannot build a detachable quad at the bottom of Sun Down bowl? IDK maybe I suck but there are a ton of places in CO that just plain rock and Vail doesn't, that doesn't mean that you can't have a great day their its just the odds are better somewhere else IMHO.

Post then smoke crack

Vail ugh No offence but Vail is just ok, Abasin, Telluride, Crested and maybe Loveland should all be on that list and then maybe I would do Vail if I was old and liked to wear pink Bogners.

If they are the older p12 you can bend them, if they are the newer PX's you have to buy the larger brakes which are kinda $$$ for brakes. I know it looks like you could just bend the px's without taking apart the brake mechanism but trust me you can really F up your brakes. Here is the tutorial for the older P's, it is for P18s but I used it a bunch of times for P12s, be carefull there is alot of stuff to break. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthr...t=brake+bending EDIT: On Second thought if you have a decent vice you may be able to bend the newer version if you heated the bend points some what. I don't know what they changed but the brakes on the PX series are far more brittle.

OMG I don't know if PASR gets aliases (sp?) but this guy is awsome !!! Seriously where is the finger mustache emoticon around here ? This is clearly POTD worthy.

I don't know.....but if I was going just to ski I might put UT first, if you hit Whistler on rain week your vacation will suck. GSS you have to bring a camera to JH, this place would rock with more pic TRs
