I've made a bit of money this way.

hmm, yet someone needs to put down those Nigerian fraud guys and the US government doesn't have the power. Some kind of international oversight needs to happen.

Beck I edited my own response that you are so worried about, and I invited you to flame me via PM.

I'm a convert!

I'll climb if the dog doesn't eat my caveat.

Let's stick to the reasons that relate to skiing that you love/hate about WA/OR/BC

Beck, the thread had nowhere to go but for you and me to start flaming each other, which has nothing to with Silverton and further does not belong in Freshiez. In fact the thread was off topic for the last page. If you don't like it then I'll give you 50 cents so you can call someone who gives a shit. I think I've been pretty god damn fair with you. I would like to ban you, and I've had a few other posters request me to ban you due to your assholish tendencies. You haven't been banned even though I could do so with 2 clicks. However I may change my mind if you don't take a pill.

isn't that kinda the point; that people will kill each other regardless of the impliments involved? oh and happy un-thanksgiving dru! You've gotta be much more psycho to kill someone with a knife.

Caption: Dude, I had this turkey basted with some special sauce...if ya know what I mean.

Yeah...what kurt said!!! CO is for punks! Conversation w/ typical boulderite: "Hi, my name is bob, i'm from boulder....did i mention i'm from boulder...hey, back in boulder, where i'm from, we gots all that...i'm a co native' Word on the street is colorado aint the center of the universe!!!!!!!! hi my name is bob i am from boulder. did i say i live in boulder? check out my $4000 mountainbike on the roof on my suv my parents bought me for my high school graduation. i really care about this planet and place i live.... boulder, so i can drive my gass guzzling lexus suv to the coffee shop. sometimes i will ride my $4000 bike, but only in boulder, so everyone in boulder can see what i am riding." Trustafarians. They're everywhere in CO. Don't worry Beck, I'll get any plenty of skiing here and in BC this winter. I think we've beat this to death

I think WA skiers would rejoice if you would only move to CO Beck. You could live in a trailer park with a 60 mile commute to your mimimum wage job polishing the boots of rich people. When it comes to the best skiing neither CO or WA measure up to BC. BC

Truth is if you're skiing anywhere past early July then you're a skiing geek and should be out rock climbing with RuMR

If all you're interested in is skiing lift serviced crap then you are truely a moron. In a good year, like this is shaping up to be, you can ski fron the top of Rainier in early August and still get a 7 to 8000' run. I'm not shocked that you are too much of a wuss to hike. I've skied at A Basin in June and all the good stuff is gone; leaving you with runs only slightly better than Hood.

Acording to Griz Jackson Hole has charm. It's just a lame ass tourist trap with good views and access to climbing, skiing, etc. The town is a hellhole, and when the revolution comes the business owners of Jackson Hole will be the first ones up against the wall. Larimie is in the middle of nowhere except for the fact that Veedawoo is 15 min. out of town and Veedawoo You can spend the weekend at Devil's tower and that. Day climbing at Eldo and other front range destinations are easy to get to and they

The East Coast is a black hole. As to your pathetic attemt to dodge the whole issue of base depth. I would say that all ski areas exagerate total snow depth, therefore when you compare area to area you get a good sense of what's going on. Actually the skimpy bases that you guys have in CO are even more reason to lie, and if you add 5 inches to a 15" base you get a greater percentage increase than if you add 5" to 70." Keep telling yourself and others your lies about the state of CO. That will help keep the northwest free of suckers. We don't want you here.

I like my turkey without parables. Happy Thanksgiving

Ski area's in CO with pretty good terrain: A Basin Crested Butte Telluride. All the other resorts are well groomed intermediate ego places. Here's a shot of some shitty WA skiing taken durring last year's low snow year.

Griz, you've got bad reading comprehension. The east coast is not overhyped but CO is. Lets do a little comparison shopping. As of today the snow base in inches at the following ski areas. CO Telluride = 19" Keystone = 15" Vail = 18" Steamboat = 33" not a bad start WA Crystal = 37" Stevens Pass = 51" Baker = 70" As far as quality goes it's a mixed bag around here from to on the other hand in CO the best conditions are but the long weeks inbetween dumps are and skiing on a skimpy base is

Colorado is the stupidest most overhyped state when it comes to skiing.

I've seen boot packing done on a regular basis in CO. I can only think of 1 or 2 times I've seen boot packing done around here. I'm with you on Jackson Hole. That sounds like the place to be in the US for lift accessed bc skiing. If we start talking about British Columbia I can think of a few places that offer sick lift accessed skiing for less than $10 a day.

There's hot lava at Snoqualmie Pass? No shit Dave who would have thought that.

I don't think that's an isolated incident. While in JTree at new years I've heard public service messages on LA radio stations warning people about shooting their gun straight in the air.
