Good ol' David Lesh

Lesh's parents are broke... His mother lives in India his father is basically a vagabond hippie... You are an uniformed idiot.. He is far from a trust fund brat.

It's funny that you believe that made up narrative. Lesh made that shit up to give himself street cred.

Trust me, poor kids from the Midwest don't become skiers. His dad is rich af

Donald Trump says he's self made too, you believe that crock of shit as well?

I really do aspire to be hated like lesh and trump. I’ll have corn rows and a spray tan; mostly focus my energy on impregnating all of your girlfriends and pissing in your boyfriends butts.
 
I don't know what I would do with myself if I couldn't idolize Lesh 24/7

This is actually pretty funny. Ironic that he is now "caring" about the environment, but hey, Lesh will be Lesh.

I could care less about him hitting jumps on his sled. Stupid? Sure. Did he harm anyone / anything by doing it? Probably not. Does doing it and posting it publicly give Vail valid reason to go after him? Seems reasonable.

But yeah, his note about them "decimating wilderness" is laughably ironic, given what he did last year on Indy, and just his general approach to life and business.

I obviously don't like Vail either, but coming from him, calling them out regarding environmental impact is so dumb. Objectively, Vail does way more harm to the environment than him & Virtika (primarily due to scale), but I've also never seen him do anything to make a positive impact on the environment. I can't find a single mention of sustainability on Virtika's site, and at this point, just about every brand, big & small, is making an effort in that regard, even if it's selfishly just to appeal to consumers. I mean at the very least, recycled polyester and organic cotton aren't even that expensive or difficult to source at this point and would be easy to integrate into their current line, but I don't see any evidence that the concept of sustainability plays any role in their business model. Shit, at the very least, Vail says they're working on some (fairly ambitious) goals. They're self-inforced so I don't put much faith at all in it, but they're doing the bare minimum of setting goals and at least saying what they're doing to achieve them so you could theoretically hold them accountable.

But yeah, he's just gonna keep doing it and it's definitely an effective way to get publicity. And just me contributing to this thread is probably what they want, so, yay...
 
Idk. Dude doesn't give a fuck. Jumping on the vail hate train to try and seem more core is lretty whack. Dudes a chad, but I did dig seeing him jump his sled.

Vail sucks but the vail hate train generally sucks just as bad or worse. A bunch if noobs trying to be suoer core. Meh.

It must suck to be horrible at skiing and have to have a shitty job up in the cold. I would be mad at the world as well.

Jesus this fucking prick AGAIN.

For those that don’t know this is strictly forbidden at Hanging Lake. They have implemented a permit system because too many people there destroy the place. This fucking pussy isn’t even from Colorado.

Can we form a posse to go fuck this clown up?

What a douche. I really used to like that hike. I'm not that surprised or bummed ut went permit. I skip crowded and permir hikes. The mast time i was there was prolly 3 years ago and plenty if jerries going for the log, dropping trash etc.

This is why we can't have nice things. Hitting park jumps at keytone on a sled whi guves a fuck but stop fucking up the dope hiking spots.
 
This was shitty but I'm definitely enjoying watching the normies on reddit get heated over it lmao

my favorite comment is:

TIL that David Lesh of Virtika is an entitled piece of shit with no respect for natural areas. As such, I will not be purchasing any of that company's merchandise.

Edit: I just checked REI's website and it looks like they don't carry anything from his company. Good. Let's keep it that way.
 
Why is that not permitted?

Damn, all I know is I'd want to step out on that log if I saw that in a lake. Besides, don't they decompose anyway?

Of course, but some things don't need man's assistance. Hanging lake is pretty protected, it's not just your local watering hole kinda thing.

It's a fragile eco system. I don't know that much about it but it can be damaged from people going in the water. You aren't allowed to swim or even wade in but people do. You aren't allowed to climb out in the tree but people do.

That's the American way I guess. Who gives a fuck if I damage nature if I get some likes for my instagram.

That beautiful color it has would go away if people swam in it. Its a super delicate eco system. If you want to swim, just go to the hot springs in glenwood. I can assure you that its a lot warmer :)
 
the fact this thread exists, tells him, he is doing his job to stay relevant, it's narcissistic supply at it's finest. Any attention , good or bad, feeds his insatiable tank for narcissistic supply.

Yeah i almost did a write up but decided not too because he's one of those douches that thrives on any attention. It's gross.
 
I saw on his instagram story that he was getting death threats/ people wishing death on him and his family for his latest act. While I agree it's not cool to step on the log, wishing death upon him is next level fucked. Also like you said he clearly loves the attention from it, thus the reason he continues to do things like it.

Tries to be the biggest douche and piss off the world. Mad that world is pissed off...

Idk sending death threats is stupid but people will do that about anything. I called some kook a kook on facebook regarding the ski area shutdowns and he went off on a tear in pms.

Sending death threats is stupid and people shouldn't be sending them to him, but I can't feel bad for the guy. He's intentionally being the biggest chad.

Agreed but the people sending him death threats over a dead tree in a lake are almost just as much of a kook as he is. Arguably worse

I read that he has a court date for this.. not sure how reliable that is, but if so, would be nice to see them give him more than a couple hundred dollars in fines given that he's a repeat offender

Goes both ways. NS used to be a place where derelicts and shit heads would gather and thrive. Back when Steve stepp was the magnum and the most viewed thread was about chemicals in your butt.

Now NS is a bunch kids calling each other racists and basing their views on PC culture. so yeah you’re right strange times.

still lots of rad members on here just a culture shock

damn bro thats crazy.......
 
Cringe level max. He is a 17 year old Instagram girl trying to get people mad by doing dumb shit. He is an attention whore to the max now.

For such a hardass online persona, he sure seems like a sensitive snowflake in real life.

Dude constantly changes the Virtika Google business info when you try to contact/google their Denver shop. Theyve been plumbers and the north face, all in an effort to distract from all their negative reviews. It's pretty hilarious that he can't take the heat he causes.

Dude is the chadiest of chads. Fuck him
 
I don’t think he’s as carefree as he acts because he posts the number, name and interaction of all his hate mail on his IG. I think that’s pretty damn low and irresponsible, but who is surprised

"A review of Lesh’s criminal history indicates several arrests on his

record. Despite felony charges like eluding police in Oregon and

destruction of property in Boulder, court records indicate Lesh has

avoided felony convictions after plea agreement "

Dude is a legit sociopath.

Also says there is talk of revoking his business license - 13K signers on a petition. I think this is a bit much.

naw fuck that ass hat. He lawyers up to avoid convictions and heavy fines, let's force him to move his business to another state and revoke his business license in Colorado since he seems to think disrespecting the mountain environments and communities is a good way to promote his brand.

If this is in fact what he does, then I stand corrected.

To be honest that petition means nothing. A bunch of people signing a petition does not give discretion or jurisdiction to the government or licensing agency to revoke a license. That would just give Lesh grounds for a lawsuit. Nevertheless, I signed.

I agree that change.org petitions rarely result in change, but sometimes they do and it will at least send a strong message to Colorado's governor, secretary of state, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, etc.

hahahaha, all over him walking on a log? You kids are fucking pathetic.
 
Seriously comment on their IG and ask why their still using pictures of Keri/Spriggs on IG ads and their website; who dropped them months ago. Lesh is way too big of a pussy to respond so they'll just block you, dude's a childish piece of trash.
