The catskiing isn't new, and there are lots of random people that ski around there. The people building the gaps just try to keep people from skiing across the inruns.

hah, Alta's new cat-skiing map makes me laugh. They've cut that little piece of grizzly gulch into like a hundred different runs and given every one of them a name.

I agree with a lot of the ones already listed, think I need to add Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I don't know how you can be so sure something is or isn't due to global warming. One of the primary effects of global warming is increased variability in the weather. We're seeing that now. The season could totally turn around, but there is some funny stuff going on.

Is it just me or are these comps just turning into aerials.

hah, nice rundown Ice. Sorry it sucked. I went to the one a couple months ago at Skybox. That one started kind of late too, but no more than an hour, and it was because of technical difficulties. They did the handstand contest there too, it was kind of funny, but then again we were all in a good...

Depending on the situation and location, it can be really bad form to just "drop in" on somebody else's shot that they have planned out and snap pictures of it yourself.

I have a feeling it was more the girl being slow than the equipment sucking. I don't usually go out with splitboarders, but I'm sure there are plenty that are fast on the uphill and changeovers.

hah, you're asking for tele-binding advice on newschoolers.

Pole clapping is great. Especially if you're doing it for extra GNAR points. Pole Whacker (100) Vigorsly whack your poles above a line for at least 30 seconds. and a related bonus item: Radness Yell Before dropping into a line, vigorously wave arms while yelling at the top of lungs: “Hey...

Cool pictures. Here's my favorite non-skiing picture that I've taken.

From the utah avalanche center mountain weather forecast today: Discussion: Good energy, moisture, and jet support with this storm combining to make a good winter/blizzard this evening. We will likely see another 4-8” tonight in areas favored by southwesterly flow. Strong southwesterly winds...

Looks like it could be the return of spring skiing after this next storm. 41 degrees at 10,000ft by Friday?!?

I just had to make the same decision, and went with the D50. Mostly for money reasons. The price difference is pretty substantial. I've shot with a friend's D50 and it's so much better than what I use now, I really can't justify throwing even more money at this. The Rebel XT has some more...

Yeah, some of the new stuff kind of seems like dumb cockiness to me. They think they're the shit and can just point it or ski off it, so they put themselves in positions where they know something might go. All it takes is a little mistake at that point, and you could be buried or dead from...

I just did it. Got the Nikon D50 with the Nikkor 18-70mm (28-105mm film equivalent) f/3.5-4.5 lens. I'm pretty excited. If I had unlimited funds I might have gone Canon, but the startup costs for a Rebel XT with a decent lens are much higher, even more so because I already have SD memory, and...

Sometimes being a pussy is good. I skied a nice line today, perfect untouched pow, but it dead ended at a small cliff. I was alone, so I just stood there looking at it, saying to myself "come on, do it you fucking pussy". Eventually I realized I wasn't going to do it, so I came out the side of...

Haha, those drunk monoskiers. They'd probably try it after enough swills from their flasks.
