audi_noob, I've been to that shack too. There are tons of those all over, some are pretty obvious others, not so much. If any of you guys head out West this winter hit me up, I'd be happy to show you around.

Been skiing for 35 years, always on rossignols. currently on a older set of vipers, before the shaped skis took over. Have been to Colorado, Utah multipul times, Whistler/Blackomb in BC. But I love goung to Squaw in Cali. The weather, terraine and snow are great and Reno is not too far away.

uhhh... snowblades...
LEGIT EXCUSE!! The place I went to was tiny, but my seasons pass was free, so I kept going. We'd use the lift to get up the 'hill', and trek off into the dense trees. Much longer (mine are 99.9cm), and you just couldn't turn them. Paid off though, we found a ravine. Like a halfpipe, but only 8 feet wide at the bottom.
Also have a paid of (before the shaped ski thing), 185cm K2's, need to dust those off, and either use them, or put them in an antique gallery ; )

Can you believe that Aspen doesn't open till almost December?!?!? WTF?!! But Breck is still my favorite mountain town.
And these are my new toys.
P.S. Snowboarders are slow.

I'm definitlely far from slow but a good skier is faster. I just don't know any good skiers haha
Telluride is the new Aspen. If you want powder Steamboat Springs is where it's at. And Breck def has the best nightlife.

I actually snowboarded for about 3 years but I like skiing better, but I still have to make fun of snowboarders. If you ever come round these parts we can go rip it up.

For sure, i don't hate on most skiers, just the ones who go thru the park with absolutely no intention of hitting any obstacles. All they do is get in teh f'n way.
