Alpine K, I was talking about this statement you made earlier in the thread... not the hype factor :
"TLG, I've skied at Teluride and all over CO and I don't deny it's cool, but I'd take skiing in the rest of North America over CO any day. Ice climbing and rock climbing are different stories "
North America includes the east coast, ya know? So, what i'm asking is if you would actually rather ski that shit on the east coast than CO? Damn, that's just harsh and makes no sense. I'm trying to judge your level of loathing for the skiing in my great little state...and see if it has slipped into the nutso category.
I'm not going to debate snow base #'s with you, for sure. They are usually pumped up, promotional crap for ski resorts anyway. Probably even more so in WA to get people out on those dreary,overcast days to enjoy some freezing rain while on the slopes... I think that pretty much sums up 90% of my two ski seasons when I lived up there.
