    50 project send off.

    Went on YouTube to watch some slvsh cup and saw Cody pit up a new episode which I thought was super odd considering the time of year. Personally, I am glad he is looking at the last 4 realistically. It could take a decade to actually hit the last 4 - if ever... Mt. Robson alone is a huge...

    Slvsh final game?

    Am I an idiot? Where the heck is the final match up for this cup? Is it buried in the live event that was awkward and lame?

    Official retirement from 'ski bumming it'.

    I'm 38, been living the ski life my whole life. Been in ski towns in BC since I was 18 - never working a winter job (besides a night time dishwasher in Fernie back in 2005). Life obligations has my wife and I moving to Vancouver Island so she can be closer to family. Sold my sled...

    Why are this years crop of ski videos so late to release?

    I can't find anything online about Yup, which is super weird. Blank Collectives 'Feel Real' isn't going to be available until November 22nd apparently. MSP doesn't appear to have a release date for their video either. It's almost November. Wtf?

    Burning man X jib park

    I think this is worthy of ski gabber, although it might be more non-ski? I haven't even looked at the non ski forum in over a literal decade though so fuck that shit. I have only had the privilege of attending Burning Man once back in 2010 and unfortunately in the spring of 2011 I was banned...

    Andri's ski throw. Re: Context and the state of the competitive aspect if our sport.

    No, this does NOT require its own thread. Anyways: I initially had the same reaction as all y'all as to how he held himself, and to his defense, he had no idea he was on camera so who the fuck actually cares. Was he mad at the judges? At himself? Besides what we think, he is just a...

    2022 Olympic odds

    Having a hard time finding both a site to bet, let alone the odds. Maybe I'm too early? Figured the teams are set by now though so I donno. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? I'm in Canada so I might not be able to use some betting sites, but if I can even just see odds...

    Advice for a pvc down rail set up

    I'm in the process of building a backyard jib. I have all the snow so I'm going big with it at the start. First set up is an uprail to butter pad to down rail. Uprail and butter pad I've got sorted. My issue is the down rail. I'm working with pvc pipe and have all the snow to work with...

    Canada. Am I right?

    Why have Canadian snowboarders dominated slopestyle for a decade or so now yet Canadian skiers have just tickled the podium over the same time? Tickle tickle, who ate the pickle? Side note: why these 'pro' snowboarders throwing upright front 7's?

    Where would YOU build a new ski resort?

    This week yet another new ski resort proposal was made public in BC. This time around it is Bridal Veil Mountain Resort outside Chilliwack, which has pros and cons, but ultimately misses the mark in terms of much needed new terrain for real skiing. Over the years BC has had many new ski hill...

    Sifting through the mundane.

    Skiing. Anthropology dates skiing as a form of travel back to at least10,000 years in what we currently call China, and to be fair, that is just simply based on what we have discovered. There is a good chance that skiing goes back to the early days of homosapian as we migrated from Africa into...

    People who traverse across the landings of cliffs

    I haven't skied inbounds for the better part of the last decade, but this year I got myself a pass and have been hot lapping chairlifts all winter. I forgot how annoying it is when people come into a face from the side and traverse all the way across the landing zones of a cliff band just to...

    THPS 1+2 (xbox) map I made

    Made a slopestyle course. It works best if you get your special up before hitting the first features. It is called 'slopestyle'

    When layering your t’s go too far

    Is cross posting from reddit acceptable? I guess it is now. Is layering your tall t’s still a thing? https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/comments/83x65n/lets_put_on_a_ton_of_shirts_wcgw/?st=JEOUBWME&sh=9c6d6027

    SIP Trevor Sexsmith

    It saddens me to say that Western Canada had a great lose in the skiing/mountaineering community yesterday. Swept off on Mt Victoria by an avalanche... It sucks. I did an interview with him about his skiing exploits a bit...

    Valemount Glacier Resort gets environmental approval

    Valemountglaciers.com Same dude that's been trying to get jumbo happening. Unlike Jumbo, this project actually makes sense. I've personally been wanting a mega resort up in that area for a while. Check the master plan, the thing is going to be huge! Over 2000M vert, topping out...

    BC just approved a $1.5 billion for Hemlock Ski Area

    If you've never heard of Hemlock, it's ok. Outside of BC (and to that extent the Lower Mainland) I doubt many people have. It's a small family ski area up in the hills not too far from Chilliwack (about an hour or so outside of Vancouver)...

    Getting older; people die too often

    its a reality we all must face in our lives. (100% of people die within their lifetime) but damn. The older you get, the more often people close to you die. I'm a very realistic person and I take death as it is. Without sounding too cold hearted, I've always been very good at...
