Dan-

You are definatly smoking some GREAT stuff over there. Most resorts in the west have averages well above 300 inches of snowfall each year. We are lucky if we see 30 inches.. So out west has about 10x better winter then us, plus they have much bigger hills... Accuweather also says that, even though we may get nor'easters, the canadian air has to come down at just the right time to turn them into a snow storm, and not just more rain... You need to learn alittle bit about weather, and climates.

means less lift lines and more pow for me Trip is all booked now.

That list is terrible. It just looks like the top ten resorts for people who don't ski/ride alot...Most of these lists anyway, are just ones with which mountains can pay the most money to be on there...

If i had an extra 100 bucks id take the clarion. My headunit broke about 1.5 months ago, and ive been bumming my buddies ipod tranciever since then

I said that awhile ago... people would rather ride natural terrain rather then a park.

I believe your alone on this one Papa. Please explain to my why Alta no longer has a park then?

Papa you say mountains are devoting more and more to park? Maybe in the east, where the mountains don't have shit to work with, out west out of all those resorts how many of them actually have GOOD parks. Not so many. People are more concerned about natural terrain. And Alta no longer has a park, for all you skiers

Won't happen Papa, people will loose interest way to fast, and park will be dead... Parks are gaining some much interest because there so easily excessable. You take that away, and the park scene will die temendously. Places use passes to keep the park safer. Not to promote it. Passes keep the jackasses out. that is all

Indeed it does

Also on my one trip to montage last year, i jumped the last headwall on cannonball, of course some jackass was there(mind you i was on the very edge to try and aviod everyone) I was waiting for my gf at the lift, and this douche comes up to me, and tells me im wreckless.. Maybe i am sometimes, but wouldn't it be smart to sit somewhere that you can be seen??

I wasn't out of control, hence i turned enough to stop from hitting him. If i was of tryed to skid to a stop, it would of been 1000x times worse, as i would of plowed the shit out of him, and taken us both out, with a head on collsion. I see how it can be my fault, but it's still common sense, to look up hill when cutting across an entire f*ckin trail. Like Doug said, the common rule of merging. If you have to do that on razors you shouldn't be on the trail in the first place. I've been thinking about a helmet aswell doug. I actually tryed one on in a shop the other day. That happened to me on Challenage at blue. Jeff jumped the falls headwall, just missed this little girl, well i was about 4 feet behind jeff, in the split second he missed the girl, she moved right into my path. Luckily i stopped about 2 inches away from her, and everything was fine. That was nuts. Luckily were both experianced and can handle shit like that, or it could of been bad.

My issue wasn't in the park, but i was doing mach 5 down razors, this guy is sitting at the bottom of the first headwall on the side. As i get about half way down the headwall he starts cutting all the way acroos. by this time it's to late for me to stop, so i turn just enough, i clip the front of his ski's and just kept going. Doug and Jeff wore both behind me when they saw this. If your gonna cut across an entire headwall, atleast look up to make sure no one is coming down...

Parts of montana recieved over a foot today. The snow level was down to about 5000 ft.

07-08

Snowed at Jackson Hole aswell http://old.jacksonhole.com/webcam3/webcam3.jpg

Damn if thats all he's gotta do...

If you can get a rome design 162 for around 250-300, id definatly take one if i have the extra cash.

162

DH there is no way you can get a Rome Design for 250... If so i may considering getting one.

Ah, your way up there then It's been snowing in North American since the begining of September... if not even alittle in late august in northern alberta.

Lucky you Next year, there may be a montana trip in store. Where at in montana do you live? Are you in the Bozeman area, or further north?

My trip is getting booked tomorrow

I can't wait until i can finally move out west..

Cam has some water on it, but you can see it's snowing http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/weather/c...stler/index.htm and sibby i hear it's suppose to snow up there in montana this weekend at bigsky.

If i have an extra 100 to spend, ill purchase them from you, but until then i need to be saving for jackson hole.
