No, not enough depth on Challenge. I dunno why they didn't seed Chute, it had plenty of snow.
-
Masa typically throws a double-twister, spread.

Probably not without crashing anymore. Now they're called 3s, as in 360. Helicopter was back in the 80's.

Comp will be on final Razors headwall. They'll probably have that closed off and make you connect over to Challenge. Top section of Razors will be open with (hopefully) a few lines on skier's right from tbt. I think they put the kabosh on bumps on Razorback.

Razors should have bumps tbt.

I believe that's where they're going to have it. Last year, the section before the first jump was far too long, which is a waste because the judges were at the bottom and couldn't see any turns above the jump anyway. We suggested only having like 3 bumps above the first jump, which also keeps speed into jump down. Not many have jumping experience anyway, so for the majority it's a waste, some even go around the jump. Cut down to 1 jump, which I heard they're gonna do, but not confirmed. Last year they had a second jump at the bottom which had a totally flat landing and many crashed because of it, not to mention it being a painful landing.

I heard tell of the course layout and not too wound up about it. We made suggestions to Glen on how it should be set up, but it sounds like he ignored them. Supposedly they're going to set it Thursday, then let some ski it Friday, which is another mistake, as it can be skied in Saturday morning. Have to wait to see what they do with it. If it's a cluster, not going to enter.

I was wondering why he was looking at me like that!

I had some medicine once before a CAT scan that made my anus and throat burn.

Those lifts are constantly being refurbished, every time they let it break down, they get new parts for it!

Bring back Bo as well!

I also heard rumors of getting rid of/replacing Vista chair since it's so old, with something that goes all the way to the bottom, but I just can't see that. What would they do for early season skiing? The same with taking Main Street all the way to the bottom. They'd have to make more snow to open. Or, perhaps, if they did take Main all the way to the bottom, they could have all ski operations in the Valley, leaving the Summit just for "entertaining/weddings".
-
Jeff go low end? Perish the thought!
-
We use it because of the lines at the high-speed chairs that everyone uses on the weekends, when even the VIP lines are long. Plus you don't have to deal with Shuttle and the mess outside the readers at the 6.
-
Not to mention that Blue one that's parked at the end of the row every weekend...
-
Replacing the doubles with a detachable, high-speed quad would be sweet, although it would dump more traffic onto Main Street. NEW PAGE!!!
-
We don't need no stinkin' ambiance in the valley. If you want ambiance, take it to the summit lodge!
-
Not to mention Masaratis and high-end BMWs...

I actually was whacking the cornice with my pole for effect! -

Unfortunately I’ve never experienced it before, so I didn’t know what I was feeling which made me all the more scared. -
PASR Does Jackson: Round 3 (Yet Anothet Thread To Track)

Urine was pretty clear in the morning. I think it was more an electrolyte imbalance, with all the water I was drinking compounded by all the sweating from the skiing we did the previous day. Probably should have drank some Gatorade along with water. -

Day 6, not the way I had it planned! Got to the base around 7:40 or so and took our spot at the beginning of the gondy line. There was a cloud layer halfway up the mountain and the sun was peeking through at times. It was also a bit colder than yesterday, which actually felt good. Got on the gondy and ride up. About 1/2 way up, a strange feeling came over me that I’ve never experienced before and it kinda frightened me. Hoping it was just some random thing, maybe the altitude, I dunno, but decided to run down to Thunder and see what happens. We came down Ampitheater which was covered in about 2” of icing overtop sweet grooming. Ok, that was good, but still didn’t feel quite right. Up Thunder and down Laramie and still not feeling quite right. Then going up Sublette the feeling returns, that tears it, time to head for lower altitudes. Sat st the base for a while and can’t shake this weird feeling, so I head for the medical clinic that’s behind the Bridger gondy. I go in and they suggest a ski patroller talk to me. He brings out an pulse-ox sensor and those numbers are fine. Still having these periodic waves, he thinks it best that I get an EKG to see if there’s anytginf going on with my heart. Wonderful, I’m supposed to leave tomorrow, what a debacle! Still not knowing what the hell is going on, I get registered and the hook me up. They also draw blood in case I had had a heart attack. They also hang a saline IV. Being a clinic they have no lab and with no transportation, I get a ride in an ambulance. At the hospital I get swarmed upon by all sorts of people and tell the doc the story. Eventually all bloodwork comes back normal and after a second bag of IV saline the strange waves subside. The doc asked if I had been drinking water and I told him I had a camelbak. He said if I was just sipping on it every lift, with all the sweating and exertion skiing yesterday’s snow, I hadn’t taken in near enough water to replenish the lost fluids. They discharged me with severe dehydration. Thanks to @tarponhead for bringing me my shoes and taking my skis & boots back to the condo! At least I know know how it feels to be dehydrated. Unfortunately those symptoms are very similar to a heart attack. Lesson learned: Stay hydrated my friends!
