Who knew the Shredmonkey was so Booshi. Ha!

Yeah I was more offended by the commercial in the middle than the bad skiing (which I can relate to)

Being treated to Living large at Claybrook next few days, got out for some runs off Gatehouse for last 45 minutes today before hitting the hot tub. Surfaces were outstanding for the end of the day. 6am cat tomorrow morning, should be a delightful way to watch the sunrise! Ta-Ta!

Nice, it really is the best.

I also laughed at the jacket and infomercial. And, as you all saw, he’s now organizing “trips” so that folks can pay for his ski vacations

That video was pretty pathetic. There are many 60+ skiers/riders who do Poop Chute without pausing anywhere, my wife included, and the church. Buddy on patrol does the CR woods at 81 even if he's slowing down some.

True but, to be fair, those kids had no idea where they were going Or what they were doing. Experience matters and everyone has to start somewhere. I certainly had some pretty ugly initial runs in those tight trees. And I’ve made the mistake of taking guests/friends into some stuff they were ill equipped for.

Just took a spin through the webcams... Looking at Slidebrook reminds me of Kim Jong-Il singing I'm So Ronery

This thread hit two milestones this year. It hit 1000 pages, and the thread is celebrating its 20 anniversary.

You didn’t post a pathetic video when you did it.

Exactly…its one thing to have some touchy runs exploring an area you’re not familiar with. Its another to record those terrible runs and post them as a guide for other people to follow

This. And interrupt said video with infomercials.

That may be so, but I still have to work to earn a living. Maybe that guy is building a brand he can make some money off so he can spend his days skiing and editing video.

 

[Hawk]

I will say it again Howie. Anything that sends more inexpeirnced skiers into those areas is bad.

Maybe he should get a real job?

Maybe one shouldn’t try to be an independent ski journalist when they aren’t even good at skiing?

That’s a pretty high bar for entry … do you think say Stuart Winchester of Storm Skiing Journal can smoothly ski the Church ?

 

[LuckyStrike]

Is there an official AZ approved ski blogger list?

skiology matt

Had the balls to go to the matts over a terrible name.

Is it safe to assume that Slide Brook won’t be running for the season? In my opinion, I would have preferred to have Slide Brook running before Castlerock. Hiking only to Castlerock is better than having the chairlift running…
