Dangerllama posted:Anyone know if the CAIC going to resume zone forecasts later this year? Right now it’s all state wide. Since I missed the entirety of last season I don’t remember if they stopped doing certain forecasts due to funding cuts or what. #IStillMissTheRose They did forecasts. It just never snowed enough to be worth checking down here.

Yuns posted:I'm super excited for the beginning of the northeast/midatlantic season. I've dropped from 240 lbs at 35%+ percent body fat last season to 150 lbs at about 8% now so it's going to be interesting to see how all my snowboards ride when I'm 90 lbs lighter. Landing jumps is going to be way way easier on my body now though. drat. That’s impressive. What did you do to your diet? My winter coat seems to be showing up earlier and earlier.

That’s no life I want. Rule 8 is also my problem. My job is becoming more sedentary so I’m gonna have to get back into the gym.

bringer posted:How good of a skier do I need to be for heli-skiing to be worth it? My helicopter experience was what we would call double blue to single black terrain. We had Florida Man with us and he immediately lost a ski and went tumbling down a face, like within 2 minutes of getting out of the helicopter. I also lost a GoPro session during a powder bath. Definitely do it if you can, that’s a great deal. Just riding in the whirlybird is awesome.

the bsd boys posted:Yesterday I went snowboarding for the first time. Welcome to the learning curve! Make fists when you fall and wear a helmet, and then one day you will hit some powder and begin to float and be changed forever. Oh and don’t get in the habit of dragging your uphill hand(s) on the ground or you will end up with wrecked shoulders like me.

I’m headed up to Aspen for a show on Sunday and I think I have my choice of which mountain to ski on Monday with a buddy pass? Would love some local input as the last time I skied there I was 15 and hit a tree on Buttermilk the first day, effectively ending my trip.

Ski patrol was kind enough to put up a sign that said “We do not recommend skiing in the woods today” at the top of lift 9, so the trees on 9 were great today. Three more days until the Skiing Public arrive.

Double ejected on takeoff trying a 360 and has a giant bone spike sticking out of his shoulder and I’m not sure how I thought that would make you feel better when I started typing this. Cool story.

 on park riding after 30 but why are people saying “riding” instead of skiing now? I mostly snowboard but most people I know say skiing to refer to both. I just started noticing skiers saying riding on like outside tv but I remember that being something people were adamant about in the 90s/2000s. It really doesn’t matter what you call snow-sliding I just think it must be regional how the vernacular changes.

Razzled posted:so a guy died in an avalanche.... safety course? This happened here a couple years back. Like five partial burials and a couple full burials I think during an avy2 course in Alta Lakes. If conditions are right you theoretically should get to do some skiing during your avalanche education. Conditions are rarely right in the San Juans.

My friend Matty owns this awesome backcountry house in the basin behind the Telluride ski resort called the Alta Lakes Observatory. https://www.altalakes.com/ It's got great big lines all around it, a badass kitchen, sleeps a bunch of people, and snowmobiles to haul all of your poo poo in and out. You can also ski in from the resort if that's your thing. And it has the old mining trestle (featured in several ski movies) right outside its front door. Full rate is $160/night pp if you have 7 people, but I think I get something like a 20-25% discount. Waiting to hear back from him on that. Looking to put together a group for the first week of April when the snowpack has settled. Just puttin it out there to see if anyone's interested.

bringer posted:Nah, this friend actually has a cabin back on Brennan so we took a sled up to it and then toured from there. Definitely feeling the need for a sled after that though, I've already started browsing the classifieds. Man I wish our snowpack wasn’t so hosed. We’re in an avalanche warning and tomorrow is another storm day so it’ll probably just get worse. Today has been an amazing in-bounds hiking day though. Exhausted and satisfied.

Kreez posted:Ski boots suck, but eventually you'll find some combination of bootfitter, boots, and technique that will make things liveable. I finally found that with Lange boots, no socks, and diligently unbuckling the 2nd buckle while on the chair, I have no more issues. Took me multiple decades, multiple bootfitters, dozens of boots, and one day of forgetting to dry out my socks to figure that out. If I forget to unbuckle my boots even one chair ride, my toes go numb and will stay numb to some extent for days, which I can't imagine is healthy. Heated insoles (Hottronics) don't do anything for me. What do you mean no socks

Mongoose posted:On boot chat, the best solution is to go to a trusted shop with good knowledgeable personnel, then ask them to help fit you into some comfortable snowboard boots. Hope that helps. But I’m on my second and unfortunately last pair of black diamond factors and they fit me like a dream so idk maybe I just have the right socks.

Are Langes good for narrow feet? I’ve been told Salomons are the best for narrow feet but when my current boots are finished I’d like to have a couple of options to shop.
