Ripping amphitheater with them out there is great. Scary fast. I’ve felt more comfortable in some cliffy steeps than going that fast.

It's funny at Blue on a run like nightmare dreamweaver and even Razors Atomic Jeff can be faster than me at JH is where I do my fast skiing..when I get over about 65mph my open helmet vents whistle loudly..Dennis who will skied with was saying his app hit 81 or 83mph on grand and I passed him and on the lift the first thing he asked me was how much I weigh lol.

Sketchiest moment was basically straightlining a groomed cirque then hitting the compression and then rollover and just barely holding it together. That's when Atomic Jeff had to roll the windows down..I actually haven't been stopped by ski patrol for fast skiing in a few years..

Oh, you're so full of yourself. Have you ever skied Alps?

I'll go now and put a bunch of thanks to GSS's post who actually took some time to explain what's going on.

He leaves for Chamonix this weekend.

And seriously Eaf...200" of snow ain't shit.  300" is enough to provide decent coverage at JH, usually around a 65-70" base.  Problem is, there are 66" rocks.

Great. Still it was kind of a snotty remark.

You're going to want 170cm RTMs to ski Tower 3 Chute, or Mushroom chutes.  Let me know how your skinny skis do!  Notice all the rocks.

[gasp] I thought it would be utterly disrespectful to even think about lame RTMs or devilish 170 while reading this thread??

Have you guys ever hit that in your trips? Serious terrain!!!! (Skiers right)

 

If I ever worked up the nerve it would be one long scream (until I bounced off a rock [emoji13])

[RidgeRacer]

I haven't been there, that's all. Kind of deceiving of them to say that they had a 200" of snowfall this season.

F it! Mountain Creek it is then...

Sigh...

i dunno if disrespectful is the word i'd use. it's a pretty mediocre ski at best, but use whatever works for ya, i guess.

Sure if the snows good. I like paintbrush a lot which has some exposure.

Im actually not at all, it takes a large snow pack to cover rocks that are 50-80" tall or larger in the summer though. Skiing a full season at a large resort will change the way you look at everything, at the beginning of the season you think "there is no way that whole rock/cliff ban will fill in", by the end of the season you have completely forgotten about that rock/cliff ban until it starts to melt out again. Hell go hike around at Blue in the summer, you will realize what a 48" base really covers.

The town of Jackson sure looks snowy as a new storm is about to slam into the Tetons.

Im also the best skier on the mountain, so let me know when you want to spin some laps. 

Furthermore, Im the best cyclist on this board, claimed.

Ah, don't worry too much. It's same old stuff. It puzzles me a little that GSS would do it to his own thread though. But there is a chance to see a new cool video, so I'm hanging around and hitting F5 from time to time.
