I meant to give you two (DMC/JimG) a PM over the weekend. I went up yesterday and certainly would have met up for a cocktail or two.

 

[JimG.]

Ha! Funny how I got mentioned in there even though I'm staying out of it. I didn't realize I was rude to him the one time I posted about him. Oh well.

He didn't like getting showed up like that. Good job D!

i mentioned you. and im with the rest of you i think ski999 is a major dick.

 

[Brettski]

That's Hellgate?

Looks steeper than Hellgate...but then again, maybe it's my optical dillusion

That one shot has to be an illusion.

 

[Brettski]

That looks more like the west side....but then again, I don't they blow snow over there to way later....

 

[dmc]

Hellgate is kinda steep...
That 20 yards of trail does a lot to give Hunter a bad rep.. It's tough to ski for people with lesser skillz...

I usually just hug the fence or rocks and stay out of peoples way...

 

[Brettski]

Must bew Hellgate

Ah, so it was you Mark.

Wow, that guy gets pretty ridiculous; I told dmc I would stay out of it, but when he went off on this thing about owning and working for all those ski resorts I just had to pipe in.

I'm still not sure why he hates Hunter so much...my kids have skiied there since they were toddlers and have never had a problem with getting hit by other skiers. Maybe it's because I taught them to stay off to the side when they stop?

I'm guessing he worked for the ski school when the Plattners ran it and soured on Hunter when they were tossed out and Hunter took over. Can't really blame him if that's the case.

Nah....

For someone without skills... It's kinda steep...
