He's not in the back seat. Just a steep pitch and deceptive angle. That was actually some damn fine skiing from Austin. Here is another turn......

Looks pretty sweet

So when does the Gulf of Slides T-Bar go in?

Turn earners are just like NIMBYS in my book. That looks like the perfect spot for a nice T-Bar up so I don't have to waste TIME hiking.

Turn Earners are a bit f'd in the head in my book. Why on earth would you want to waste your time hiking as opposed to doing laps on such sweet terrain via a lift?. The whole Big Jay thing bugs me the most. Nope gotta skin up it if you want to ski it neaner neaner neaner. It's not like cutting over from Jay proper isn't a huge motivation in terms of time on task and what it takes to get back to the base.

I don't want to hike, I don't want to wait in a liftline, I just want to ski. Downhill skiing is what I love.....all those other heady parts you turn earnin' hippies boast about, you can put it in your pipe and smoke it. I have no use for it.

Your all a bunch of posers anyway, especially you Rivercoil. You know damn well if you were living in Utah, MAYBE you'd be 'touring' come June, but not right now. You've said it as much yourself, you don't earn your turns until the good lift accessed skiing is done for the most part. If we were all in Utah, you'd be riding the Tram just like the rest of us at Snowbird right now.

Yep I said it, you turn earners are a bunch of posers

...now, would you mind if I tag along next spring? I miss skiing

Ha!

Just for the record, I am against the restriction on slacking Big Jay from Jay Peak. I enjoy slacking (looking forward to some Memorial Day weekend slacking!!) and I enjoy the lifts... but I think the pictures speak for themselves, especially when the lifts stop.

No heliskiing, but I'm sure you can rent a helicopter, if you search enough.

Don't ya know that any REAL skier won't be caught dead on anything less than a 215??
