SO DID I!!!
Every one here needs a good laugh!
just stay off of any slope that has a pitch greater than 30degs and you will be fine.

A lot cheaper than a beacon.

your nsp friend needs 2 brush up on his avi skills it is a known fact(sept 4 youz too) that a slope with less than a 30 deg. pitch will slide.
fat ass or not.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit huh?

You're right I shouldn't go solo but it's just so damn fun. Oh and your right there is no good skiing out here in the west. That 70 inches that fell in Wolf Creek this week is just a big lie, I'm in fact up @ 3 am so I can call bullshit on them.

I'm starting to think this is an trolling alias, I want to know who's genious work this is. Until then I got some driving to do and some boilerplate to ski

we both know wolfie is flat and gets no snow. so just dont go.

What is the purpose of having a beacon if none of the pother people on mountain have one to find you? Patrollers here do not carry them.

Where is this "here"? I've never heard of that place!

Do you really ski those fat skis you have listed? Are you a pro like in Warren Miller? If you are, pros don't wear beacons?

Alright just got back and can say it completely sucked. Every time I dropped into the trees snow got all in my way and in my face and stuff.That lousy 200 inches that fell this month really is messing things up and burying all the pretty little trees and rocks. I felt so unsafe the whole time not wearing a beacon, come to find out I was like the only one. I got nasty looks and ridiculed at the bar. To top it all off when I went to the ticket window to purchasea ticket the mean bitchy lady said fifty two dollars please. Fifty-two dollars to ski a mountain that was practically not groomed, WTF!!!!!!!!:angry:. Dude I soooooo wish I was slaying Waterville Valley today, at least they know enough to groom the goddamn slopes.

Yup I do ski them. And yes I am a pro. Scenes in all the major movies. I dont wear a beacon. I am too good for one of them. Beacon's are only for people who are unskilled enough to get trapped by a avy...Hey, aren't you asking about wearing one? you must suck.
