You are actually correct with this. If a patroler saw 1 person skiing fast on Paridise, and 1 person doing pizza out of control on challenge, the skier on Paradise will be stopped, or at least whistled at. Patrol could probably work on preventing accidents a little better.

Seeing people without helmets kind of makes me crazy, and in my mind, i question their sanity. Saw people in JH skiing trees without helmets. I get that these people are the best skiers on the mountain (in their minds), but accidents happen. I sort of find it crazy too, that not all Blue employees where a helmet either. Set the example. Rental equipment should include a helmet, it shouldnt be optional. What is there to stop the first time skier from going in the park and making a mess of him/herself? not much. Maybe im in the minority here, but it seems like the falls is becoming more and more of a shit show as well these days. I know there is a sign at the bottom of lazy, its not great, but there is a sign to try to keep beginners off falls, but most beginners are looking right in front of them, not up and around for signs. They really need to do something better there to keep beginners from continuing straight down lazy to the falls. Accidents are going to happen. Not just in skiing either.

Dont worry, pictures are much better for me. I couldnt get through either post.

Great trip, really fun time skiing and hanging out with Jeff, Doug, Mike and Tom. A little bit of me wishes my timing was a little different, but had 4 great days of skiing, that cant be replicated on the east coast That being said, this will go down as my first and worst travel experience ever. Pretty much everybody has had travel issues. My flight from Dallas almost didnt attempt to go to JH. It left late, got to JH with no vis, and then went to SLC. After about an hour at slc, we went back to JH. I spent alot of time on an airplane that day. My tolerence for sitting still is about 45 mins. This was a rough day for me. The worst was Mike having to drive from SLC to JH. Jeff, Doug and Mike spent most of the day at newark after thier flight was canned Tom is getting back to Phl maybe 2 hrs before me, although he left 6 1/2 hrs before me. I think his flight out was a-ok though. No Saltyant BS complaining here, like when has burger isnt centered on the bun or theres only 2 pickles instead of 3. Wont be looking for any gift cards from anyone, hell i dont even know where my skis and undies are at this point. What i do know, is this is part of what we do, flying around in the winter has its risks, it altered some times, made for a long day at times, but so far didnt fuck up anybodys trip yet. No second thoughts here if all this was a good idea or not. it was. Merder the Perder, fellas.

That made my headache worse.

As always, great skiing with you.

Day 4. Last ski day for me. Great day. Just a little bit of snow fell overnight, and it was just enough to make the morning groomers silky smooth, and put down a nice refresh layer in the trees. Ran a bunch of groomers off Thunder and Sublet. I missed yesterdays run down Saratoga bowl, so we headed over in a round about way to Teton quad where Dooglas left for his snacks. NMSKI and Atomic made a detour down Washakie Glade, I choose to stick to the groomer knowing my legs were gonna go away fast, and i really wanted to check out Saratoga Bowl. Up Apres Vous to Saratoga Bowl. Fun stuff in Saratoga, trees, bumps, what have you. Good stuff. This didnt seem like a heavily traveled area, and its probably because the traverse back out is spicey. Back out at the lift, Dooglas caught up to us. Back up Apres-Vous. With the forecast for the next few days looking snowy, Doug and Jeff, called it, and went to the Unkept Moose to grab us a table. Legs were feeling OK, and Tom is always up to make that one last run. At the top, we planned on just dabbling in and out of the trees, making out way to the bottom. We heading back into the Washakie Glades, which were fun, but popular. We were taking our time, and about halfway down, we decided to try to stay in the trees all the way to the bottom. We made it about as far down as possible, ending in a very untraveled area that had lots of perder in it, which made me think we would end up in a creek at anytime. No creeks and we made it out unscathed. Some pics from today. I think the camera on my phone is lacking in the clarity department, but here we go.

This is what first gondi gets you. More later. Great day.

Closed for kings and queens.

Beet.

Glad the weather cooperated for you guys. Looks like you had a good day. Good to hear you are ok PC. Sounds like Rummy should make the trip to Blue for end of season party. Im sure there is a buddy pass available.

Beet me too it.

Welcome to PASR!!!!

Ok.

Jeff had already helped me out by downing at least 2 slices after his sandwich and fries....dude can eat. Guy admitted he had his eye on it for like 10 mins, told his buddy he was gonna end up eating that slice. He was pretty slick. Lol.

Mangy mooses.

Who gets to work Doms radio?

And for the love of God, Demo some real skis.

Its pretty good, thanks. i had it drained and shot up 2 weeks ago, but thats really kind of a band aid, as thats the second time for that in a pretty short period of time. I aggravated it a little today, but all and all, still good.

Down in the lobby downing coffee right from the pot. 4 am arrival.

No. if you guys wanna start a thread for xrays, and disgusting things that have come out of your body, have at it. i can choose not to look at it.

Fuck no. I got all weird when they told me they were going to test me for Gout and Lyme's with my knee thing. I would make your radio repeat Barbara Mandrell.

I would fuck your radio up so bad it would be stuck on the Bee Gees forever.
