Mentioning stashes online

[Moe Ghoul]

Stashes are best left unspoken, and if you ski them, its a good idea to ski with one other person. Most of em are the worst kept secrets, anyway, lol.

jay has siphened off a lot of the kids from uvm with the fall of the big pass. great thing for stowe. anything between trails is fair game i have no problem mentioning them online. as for the slack stuff i will give a starting point and an end point but not the exact line i took to get there. when i meet new people on the hill after a run i may show them some easy to get to stuff but the tougher stuff takes at lest one night of good drinking before i will give up the goods and even then you must traverse witha blindfold. taking a safety meeting right before help to confuse people as well.

I don't see why anyone would mention a stash online. Like people have said, it invites every moron with an internet connection to you and your buddies' spots.

Also, if anybody on this board is someone that discloses stashes freely, then I reserve the right to show them absolutely nothing on the next AZ Gore trip (not that I made the first one - or that there was any tree skiing that day anyway).

I pretty much agree with all of Steve's points in his post. I will only show pictures and won't drop names, if you ski with me and I trust you or know you from skiing with you before, I will show you some of my favorite stashes.

I can think of a handful of areas that have became so popular in recent years that they aren't as much fun as they used to be, and they get tracked out first chair. It used to be that you could ski the inbounds stuff like lift lines all the fun stuff inbounds stuff, etc. before the other stuff and you could still get first tracks, but now it seems like you gotta head straight to the woods and deep into the woods to get first tracks.

I heard about this a couple of times now. The Steamboat locals are kind of weird about their stashes though so I think it's funny as hell.

Please. That involves taking intermediate skiers on guided tours of the known/marked runs in Slide Brook. That has nothing to do with stashes.

The time to talk stashes is when you got skis on your feet.
