  1. Love this idea.....I heard Loveland got 80" or something in the last few days so stop holding out on us Ice Coasters and post some pics
  2. Exactly, here are the relevant pages from the 05-06 tech manual. All companies release tech manuals that you can easily get a hold of if you try. If you want the full manual pm me you e-mail address and I will send it to you.

    Have faith the Great Salt Lake shall provide...
  4. Did I F that up ? Maybe that's another Mt........then what the hell is the name of that area with all the little chutes kinda.......
  5. Thanks for keeping us updated, I was worried the rain would have really killed things. BTW that software is pretty killer.
  6. If your flexible, Magic. Magic is in S. Vt and is a gnar gnar little mountain. Crowds are non-existent, lots of excellent trees and very cheap. Lots of additional terrain around back that used to be another mountain. Wens is group night 80$ for as many as you can fit in your car, I think the limit is 7 so that's like 11 bucks a ticket. Regular ticket is 39-54, if you don't mind earning your turns Magic is free. The issue with Magic is they don't make snow so you have to be vigilant in watching their base and when snow is going to fall. If you hit it right though it will be a day for the record books. Burke is $57 and MRG is 39 -60....the burliest mt. in the N.E. Cochran is only $20 all day every day.
  7. They are kings of the sit and slash, I don't think anyone does it better on the EC.....you can spot him from like ten miles away due to poles. Stowe is bulletproof until later in the week.
  8. Isn't gobbler's knob some where in that area too ?
  9. Mt. Snow has all the ambiance and feeling of skiing at Bear Creek. Killy and Stowe have tons of nice greens and blues. Killy in fact has the nicest green on the EC, Great Eastern. And unlike most of S. VT. you actually feel like your in the mountains too. S. Vt. has Bennington and the battle monument that looks like a penis, N. Vt. has Burlington, UVM and Magic Hat.
  10. Stowe - They have a waffle haus in the gondy station, Magic is a good value but not a good mountain for the whole family. Don't go to Slokemo, Mt. Slow or Stratton - outside of early/late season these mountains should me avoided at all costs Time to go is the 40,000 dollar question, late feb/early march is normally good but who knows.... the EC is finicky bitch sometimes.
  11. There was one in Ohio two or three years ago, it happens more than you would think. Midwest and Midatlantic retards blow high water content snow on natural low content snow. Grass isn't actually all that great of a bed and pow you got yourself your very own slab avy in MD.
  12. Yer fucking shitting me, right ? What op did you run out of ? High North would be the only one I could see letting people take a rip at it. My big life goal is to one day rip the shit out of some massively fluted line like that .
  13. ehh math was never my strong point......
  14. If you live in State College their used to be a bunch of old heads that would go all the time, ask around and I'm sure you could make it a group thing. Knob is the best mountain in PA by far.....
  15. Its supposedly the steepest run anywhere though that's kind of a bogus stat. People say its 78 degrees but I think they may be confusing grade with degrees, if that is the case it would be in the 50-60 degree range. 50-60 is steep but doable, where as 78 would mean maybe .001 percent of the population could hack it. With the number of people who have skied and the way it looks from pictures I would imagine its in the low 50's. Now something like this is a whole nother ball of wax Storm Troopers
  16. Down when its really cold and I have to be outside in it overnight 20/20 shell when you don't know what weather you'll get Stylish jacket for resorts How much do you ski in the rain or deep snow ? If its a decent amount get something in the 15k to 20k range.
  17. Disney ?
  18. We had a dusting outside of Reading Thinks are looking much better, probably going to head to Tug Hill on Sat.

    Go early in the morning like 5am and you can beat a mandatory road closure, I leave the question of driving in it up to you. Bonus is you are one of 100 people skiing until the road opens. I was interlodged only once so it doesn't happen all that often but essentially you have to hang out in the lodges for awhile until UDOT can clear the avy danger, I have heard stories of people staying over night but haven't actually meet anyone it has happened to. Honestly if it happens you should just be stoked about the snow.

    Its really simple, in a lower oxygen environment your lungs and heart need to adjust in order to continuing providing you body what it needs. Fat people, smokers, people who's heart and lungs are used to making adjustments have no problem with this. I'm a smoker, essentially for some period during and after a smoke my body is in a state of Hypoxia, essentially my heart and lungs have to do more work because I'm getting less oxygen per breath than normal. Clearly you can see how this is functionally the same as operating in a lower oxygen environment. Generally very fit 20-30 year old males are most prone to real altitude sickness, for whatever reason their body simply does not adjust. Less oxygen gets to their system and things go downhill real fast. Telluride I know has a chamber for people who have altitude sickness, essentially you bring them down and then back up hopefully their body gets its act together and their fine.

    Come on though, you live there you know what I'm saying. Its not the Andes, you aren't at 13k and the overwhelming majority never hike farther than from the car to the lifts. Where not talking about the fit 20 year old guy that shows up to a 14er and gets real altitude sickness. I'm talking about persons that could probably use to lose a few pounds and who have to work 5% harder and have serious trouble doing it. Really fit people do get real AS (most studies actually find that fit people are more at risk) but that isn't what where talking about here. UT resorts top out at like 10k.

    Hahah so true Park City is weak, It lacks the terrain and snow you came to Utah for. Canyons has the 9990 and Murdock stuff which is good and alot of access to the BC options. Bottom line though is they aren't what you came to Utah for. Powder is a totally different type of place, if you like amenities and can't actually drive your car in the snow you aren't going to like it. Additionally their terrain is huge but with only a couple of lifts, for most stuff you are going to have to work to get there. Twice I've been left at the end of the day for maybe an hour waiting for Woody (still love ya Dog), additionally its the kind of place where lifties are asleep in the house while a sheave wheel is literally coming apart as you ride. Personally I love the joint and hope it somehow can retain alot of its charm with the development and BS. BCC/LCC is as close as you can get to heaven on earth. Altitude shouldn't really effect anyone who isn't massively out of shape....

    Did I fuck up the location of the Brazilian joint ? http://www.alcbev.state.ut.us/Liquor_Laws/...g_visitors.html BTW is the Mongolian joint still around ? It wasn't looking good last time I stopped by. That's perfect, I didn't know there was one in the NE. Whats the name of place ? I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

    Don't believe the BS there is plenty to get wasted on. Harry O's in PC is the best for debauchery, Duffy's is good to get drunk on the cheap, Lumpy's (both of them) are good sports bars, Port o' Call is really good too, Habit's apparently was the place to hook up but I was never there, Shaggy's is fun, Depot is good. There are a butt ton of places, ask around and have a good time. Lot of house parties too. Here's the deal on booze in UT. 3.2 beer is grocery store only, liquor store/bar is just like everywhere else. You can drink with no membership if your eating otherwise you have to purchase a "membership". 5 or 10 bucks for the week done deal, its kinda like a cover charge everywhere else. No drinks on the dance floor - fucking weird but whatever If you want to get drunk in UT and aren't a complete idiot its just as easy as in PA SLC is now 40/45% non mormon and it isn't the 1820's its not hard to have a good night in SLC. P.S. There is a Brazilian meat place down by the mall that kicks ass, the only time I was there I was completely out of my gourd so I can't give you any more info but find it and eat there.
