    Alta passholders! Parking question

    With reservations now, how's the parking on the weekends? By what time is the lot usually full on a regular Sat/Sun? I'm considering switching to Alta next season, and wondering if the parking situation would be significantly better than in BCC or not really (in BCC lots are full by ~9.30am, so...

    East BC resorts?

    Planning a trip to BC next winter, just for a few days. Mostly planning to ski Revelstoke, but should we plan to spend a day at any of the other Ikon resorts while there? (Banff, Lake Louise, Norquay, Panorama) Not sure if any of those would be worth it or if we should just stick to Revelstoke...

    Wildcat 108 or something else?

    Looking for a new daily driver for soft/variable conditions (UT), something 105-110 that I can also tour with (~60/40 resort/touring), I'm likely going to mount them with Shifts. (I know some people don't like them, but I personally have had no issues with my current pair, skis infinitely better...

    Memorial Day Snowpack around Vail

    Considering a hut trip in summit county around memorial day next year to visit @dolanslebensraum, just want to confirm that this is still usually a good time to ski some corn, what's the usual coverage at ~11k ft between Vail and Copper this time of year?

    Slightly misaligned mount

    I mounted my new skis and as you can see I managed to fuck up and I now have one ski slightly misaligned. Seems pretty mild to me so I'd be inclined to live with it, but wondering what y'all think. (and I already tried removing and gradually retightening the tow piece with the boot in to "force...

    Do you wipe standing up or sitting?

    Got into an argument with a buddy of mine recently and the peeing thread reminded me of that. This degenerate wipes his ass standing up. I had never heard of such a thing, but let's see how NS wipes their butt.

    Whitefish/Flathead/Glacier Good Ski Tours?

    I'll be in that area for the holidays, not familiar with it though, any cool touring itineraries you'd recommend? Something reasonably chill, and ideally with nice views, not looking to get into anything too steep and/or long (I'd say ideally >4-6 miles and 3-4000 ft vert), but if you have a...

    Anyone in Jackson interested in shuttle $$?

    I'm planning on hiking the teton crest trail next week and would need a shuttle from string lake to the tram on Thursday morning. Anyone in the area interested? Not sure how much $$ is fair, I'm thinking $50 or something, but you tell me.

    Mint Mobile

    Anyone here on Mint Mobile? Heard about them for the first time today, and it's mad cheap. I never use more than 3GB of data since I'm almost always on wifi so I could go for their $15/month plan and it would give me (at least on paper) the same as my current T mobile plan for which I pay...

    Yurt owner owes me money

    So we went on a yurt trip a couple of months ago. Venmo'd the guy the money in advance, which included a mandatory guiding fee since it was our first time there (pretty common). When we met with the guide at the trailhead, he asked if we felt we could go up on our own, to which we said yes. So...

    Nasty encounter between Chettys and rocks, worth fixing?

    Hey NS, I'll bring them to my shop later to see what they think but wanted to get NS's take on this core and edge shot, nasty as hell, can this be fixed in a durable way you think? Core split, edge bent, no bueno.

    Weather models suck

    I don't really pay close attention to weather forecasts outside of winter snow predictions, so not sure if it's snow specific but I find the snow total forecasts to still be very unreliable, and that's frustrating when trying to plan a trip. Almost 2020 and we can't do better than a 1 to 3 range...

    Purgatory

    We'll be chasing in Purgatory for Thanksgiving, never been there. Any tips to plan our runs and get as many face shots as possible?

    Discriminate in sports against natural advantages?

    So this woman is dominating her discipline and the IAAF is basically saying her natural testosterone levels are too high and she must lower it down if she wants to qualify to compete. To clarify, she is not transgender, not taking any particular drugs, she just apparently has a natural...

    Switzerland inbounds avy - Crans Montana

    Inbounds avy in Switzerland buried 10-12 people apparently, the rescue is ongoing. Looks like a wet slab avy. Pretty scary to see an inbounds avy considering report was overall only moderate for the day. Details will emerge soon. Hope everyone ends up okay.

    Jackson Hole / Grand Targhee Area

    Hey guys, I'll be driving up to the JH/GT area for president's day weekend. Snow is in the forecast and the place will likely be packed, so I expect stuff to get tracked pretty quickly. I'm a first timer, so I'm looking for some advice. I'm interested in spending one day at GT, one at JH and...

    Utah: Most crowded skiing on earth?

    So I moved to Utah recently, first winter here after having skied the alps all my life (France, Switzerland, Austria, etc.) I heard good things about the skiing here so I was excited about winter. Now we're a couple months into the season and I'm here to report my findings. Basically my...

    Outstanding Ski Videography

    I know a lot of kids on here dabble in video editing and stuff, me not really. So let me say that I don't really have a trained eye for that stuff. But looking back at the ski edits I've seen from pro-level skiers over the past 2 years or so, I can say that for about 95% of them the editing was...

    NS Usage Stats

    Hey, just curious, are there any stats you'd be willing to share around site use? (like evolution of # of active users over the past years) I was in this avy course the other day and the guide asked "how many people here are posting on tgr?" and no one raised their hand. He said that a few...

    Ski shop botched my binding mount?

    So I just picked up my brand new skis from the shop today where I left them for a binding mount. After I got home, I looked at them more closely and saw what I believe to be evidence that they messed up the mount, there seems to be drilled holes that have been then filled up behind the toe piece...
