i've been cussed at, gotten snowblasted by skiiers...i really don't give a shite what they say

though I will say that my first and only time trying to ride the T-bar up was stupid and embarrassing. the skiiers just stood there in line and laughed.

I see all kinds of people doing dumb shite at the base or mid-mountain, mostly.

Say up top, don't go down past mid mountain and you'll see less and less of these people.

I'll even go as far as taking the gondola down to avoid the runs going to base. It looks like a damn battlefield out there on those greens

Individual hate, sure, go for it. I see retards all the time, both snowboarders and skiers. But blind hate is stupid.

More at play than snowfall?

Sorry, I go for the snow.

Yeah right, you probably scrape the slopes to ice when you ski

After nineteen seasons in the mountains, the only scraping I do is after I wax.

Park City may not even be the best in Utah considering the amount of praise Snowbird gets.

-NEVER EVER stop in the middle of a steep section of a trail. Somebody coming over the top of the ridge may not have time to react.
-do not ski on trails above your ability level. Nothing worse than dipshits pizzaing their way down a groomed black just to say they skied a black
-do not take up a whole trail with your shitty carving
-try to avoid wearing your camo skiiing, you might as well wear a sign that says "im trash"

Maybe so but it has been a relatively informative thread.

And then there's you.

I don't board, but did ski Alta and Snowbird on consecutive days. Snowbird is incredible for snowboarders.

Both Alta and Snowbird report 90" at summit right now, which is a good bit more than Park City at 69".

I know where I'd go.

Wish the light was a bit better, but yesterday at Vail was also one of my best days so far this year. 62 days on the mints in too, so that's saying something.

Blue Sky Basin has all the skiing I could want. Steeps. Trees. Cliffs. Terrain features. We spent most of our day there, and then did an Outter Mongolia lap that was awesome. Always guaranteed powder turns out there. Had a good group that could hang all day.
