The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Day 1: Soli



Snow was very crusty early until it started dumping for about an hour around noon. Honeycomb was pretty nice.





Obligatory Summit Chair shot.







This zone in Honeycomb was very fun until patrol closed the gates right when it started getting good.



Day 2: Alta



The weather was perfect, the snow was good, the skiing was muy excelente!





Rustler, I believe





Looking from East Greeley to Grizzly(?)





Lapped this zone in East Greeley about 6 times.



Day 3: Snowbasin



It was snaining at the base and PUKING up top. North facing aspects were $$$$, everything else had a death crust under the new snow. A lot of footy from Snowbasin in Pt. 2 pov edit.





here goes the quickly thrown together POV edits.. enjoy!

hate that the POV video doesn't do your jumps any justice. looks like you got decent air.



nice TR

nice tr, looks like you got some decent snow later in the trip. sucks they closed honeycomb on you, they seem to be pretty strict about it when its dumping. i miss utah.



on a side note, pov videos bore me to death. unless you are doing something seriously gnarly, they are only fun to watch for the person who made them (and i am completely guilty of making them when i surf, i dont even bother bringing mine to the snow b/c no one wants to see my line down beech frikin mtn.) and the other problem, even when you are doing something crazy the pov never does it justice. the only real upside is not having to dedicate someone to film, which is definitely a major plus. like i said, i use a gopro from time to time too so i understand the allure of them, i just hope we don't completely move away from classic filming methods altogether b/c that would suck (we being amateur skiers/riders, i know it will never go away for bigtime productions).



/hijack. sorry.

I agree with this, and honestly I don't even like bringing out the Gopro. Its more just for memory's sake or if the conditions are epic.
