That's rich, someone from the San Juans getting snobby about conditions in Utah. Do you also miss your depth hoar, unskiable, wind-scoured steeps, and 30 inch base?

Go to Alta, I TOLDYA, sheesh!

In my view, it's a HUMAN rights issue, and it will never pass ratification. The Republican Party will implode if they push this issue. I kind of hope that they do.

Nobody has given proper step by step instructions yet. I hate when these threads go on. 1. Use a tape measure stretched from the tip of your ski in a straight line to the tail of your ski. This is the chord length. 2. Divide the chord length by 2. 3. Measure the distance in step 2 from the tail of the ski forwards. 4. Mark Chord center. 6. Line up your template and mount. These instructions assume that your skis are not twin-tips. However most twin-tips that are tele-specific these days have the center factory marked so that you don't have to worry.

TLG, I never used to ski the 'Bird very much so I don't know it well, but there are some long, steep lines on the front side. The further you go out on the Cirque Traverse, the longer the fall lines get. The Lunch Chutes, and the Birthday chutes on the skiers left side of the traverse (well past the cirque) are fun and don't see as much traffic as other areas (like the cirque). Mach Schnell is a classic line at the very end of the traverse (the nose of the ridge that separates the east and west sides of the Bird) that rivals any lift accessed run in north america. But Erik is right. Skiing near the Bird and Alta is all about hiking for freshies after about 11 am. Alta can be better because they open the gates one at a time and after the High T is all tracked out, usually they backside opens, then they'll open ballroom and the shoulder, and then the next day they'll open the castle. The Bird opens in all in one fell swoop.

Klenke after the long download wait I can see why you're unsure of what I'm talking about. All I can say is, widen your stance and get your weight more centered, you'll be old-skool noodlin' in no time.

Photos from this weekend. Me, Butt wigglin'. My butt-wiggles. The frist set of tracks to lookers left of the big boarder turns (made by my friend Jennifer) and the two tracks immediately to lookers right.

Werd. Just curious, E, what are your 'skinny' skis? Really skinny, or midfat, or E99s? My skinny skis were 200 cm Kazama Couloir's. Then a couple years ago I got Rossi Big Bangs that were way too long for me.

Go to Alta, instead. The bird gets tracked too fast.

Come on TLG, do you like it "in-and-out" or "long-and-strong"?

How many of ya'll still ski "old-school" (fuck I hate that term) and ride the springy camber of your skis down the slope. Vs. How many of you ride "new-school" (I hate that even more) surfing the pow in big, fast arcs just like the knuckle draggers? I know this thread is dumb, but ya'll will still respond and start arguing. The reason I bring this up is because I finally skied my Karhu Jaks in conditions that illuminated to me the true advantages of the fat ski. I can still ski them in short radius, bouncing turns (what snowboarders call "butt-wiggles" although I have good technique so that term is inaccurate). In old, straight skis if I were to make a large radius turn around an obstacle after my rhythm was set, the skis would often auger and it would be difficult to regain rhythm, however, with the fatties, I can do this and get right back into "up and down, in and out" after a fast, long-radius turn, keeping it smooth and fluid. Anyone else who still likes to ski "like it's 1999" notice this advantage from their wide-rides?

If this is true, the last thing Trask ever said was directed at ME! I feel so honored. Actually I sincerely doubt this was his last post. His last post likely occured in a deleted thread. Oh FUCK! Did I just post in another stupid-ass fucking "bring Trask back" thread?

Chuck, goddammit, did you delete my suckitandfuckit thread?

You only let the real butchies ride your stubbly bottom, eh? BTW, it's spelled "milque-toast", wrinkle-dick.

Unfortuneately that sorry, stupid son-of-a-bitch GregW does have children. Fortuneately, they don't love him.

Why do they put so much effort into wanking their instruments when they could just wank each other and put on a much better show.

Do you use a cooking oil or something thicker? Are you looking for cooking tips? You're such a fag.

At the risk of bannination, I'm posting what Roark said to me via PM just now. " " He's so eloquent, all I can do is taddle at this point.

Fuck you, you clown punching rim licker Does this mean that I punch the clown while licking rim, or that I punch the clown while fanatizing about licking YOUR rim, or that I punch YOUR clown while licking your rim? I'm so confused.

It doesn't matter whether you care. The media cares. Do you remember Gary Hart? Did I say it matters whether or not I care? Besides, Mark my words, IT'S BULLSHIT!

The first pitch of thin fingers is 10a and fair. If it is 5.9 it is sandbagged. Princely is a hike in comparison.
