After I slid down The Rocket last year I asked the ski shop if they sell an ice pick you can use to slow down on steep hills for when I fall. They thought I was nuts. No I am not making that up, I actually did ask them. Expand When you and Matt Edge ski Verbier I recommend that you invest in an ice axe 1 1 Quote
enjoralas Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 They should make ski boots with integrated crampons. Maybe coming out the sides, since you can't mess with the toe/heel. Could come in handy for protecting your line on those crowded runs too, and handy in the lift lines. 1 Quote

Expand That was just the one time! I've made 669 runs this season and for 668 runs I made it down with skis attached. Do I need to remove that run and vert from my stats? Or can I keep the part that I skied on (groomed trail that leads into White Lightning)? Edited January 21, 2018 by saltyant 1 Quote

There's no shame in taking them off if you need to in order to get down the hill safe. That being said, you gotta expect to take some ribbing for it. 2 1 Quote
SallyCat Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 I'm just teasing, @saltyant Though I don't see how taking off skis and walking is actually safer than side-slipping and/or traversing, unless you don't know how to do either, in which case why are you on something that steep? 1 Quote

It didn't look that severely bumped up from the bottom, but it was by far the most challenging slope I've ever been on so far. Later that day I went to Camelback and practiced skiing ungroomed steeps such as Marjie's and Cliffhanger. It was pretty fun, and the moguls were within my ability level. 1 Quote

I probably should have posted in the food thread. Oops. It's only 35 minutes and I need to buy some clothes anyway in WB. When the servers dont come around to refill I ask the front desk where the filling station is. I prefer to refill my own Mountain Dew. Quote
