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.

Squallywood for sure! Book never gets old, I picked it up as a teen skiing at Squal Vally, have read it over 20x through the years. Great little book and has the GNAR rules in the back too.

Proud owner of squallywood and freedom found
My son and I play a watered down version of GNAR but weve done plenty of ego claims, fart claims, callouts (to kids older than him) and a couple of call your moms and pole whacks. Next yr we plan on getting in a cook brekkie as well.
Of course this probably makes us look like jerks to the majority of people he does call outs to but one day someone will understand and find it hilarious:)

Books indeed, some good suggestions, and reading! there's a thing
I have Southern Snow, a great resource for our area. Most of my other books are things like Tremper and stuff on avalanche sense and backcountry skills. As If I can learn that from a book, but no more absurd than thinking your technique may be improved by careful study; and millions of words in thousands of articles have swirled down that rabbit hole.
The best thing about the books on that list is how many remind us of the freedom and extraordinary fun of skiing
