Any downhill ski-cels on misc?

[Hutrapper]

I don't ski much, but wife and I have been in Revelstoke BC at my inlaws place all week.

Gonna hit 80,000 total vertical feet. Never skied real mountains before and this chit is dope.

Chit pics, but top of the mountain has been in constant cloud.

I don't personally but it looks like it could be fun.

Mirin' beard. Very appropriate!

It's such a clumsy hobby. I'd be into it if I lived next to a ski resort, but the thought of driving through snow to book a hotel to buy a lift pass, to wait in lines for an eternity just to get in a few hours of skiing isn't worth it.

The 20 minutes of real actual skiing is a lot of fun, though.

It's more fun in a place like this.


And that's ice in beard, not semen as some may suspect

I get the clumsy part. Wife's family is set up well. Massive log place at the bottom of mountain, and seasons passes. They fly out for a month or so each year. It's cool when you can be on the hill in 20 mins, and ski all day if your legs will handle it lol

Back home in ontario It's less fun.

Looks Cool OP not really my thing, but at least you provided pics.

We Making MISC GREAT AGAIN!

Maybe it's frozen semen.

I can ski, but lack style. I got a two hour private lesson monday and it changed everything.


Wasn't really my thing either, but now that I can ski groomed decently well it's become a ton more fun.

Yeah in AZ we had to drive like 3 hours to get there, the cabin was 40 minutes from the slopes because the slopes are in the middle of nowhere, we had to rent skis, buy a 2 day pass, etc etc etc.

Bicycling I can literally pedal away from my front door and I'm instantaneously doing the activity..... For free. Lol.

It depends on the day, obviously, but the high end resorts have fast lifts and you can get a lot of time on the mountain of ours not crazy busy. My partner at work goes every weekend and I think his best day he he told me he did just over 30,000 feet. And he's a 60 year old man.

[FarmersSon]

And by partner I mean a guy I own a business with.

My best this trip is 23,000 in a day.

It's wild here. Two gondolas till you reach the lifts.

My FIL is 70 and is usually around 25,000 a day.

You decide to call it a day and it's like a 20 min run to the parking lot lol

Cool...growing up I'll never forget when it would snow, and there was a huge hill by our house all the kids would bring their sleds and it was a huge hill too we were daring...lol. Back in the late 90's too so no smart phones just everyone having fun, and then when you got to the bottom of the hill...it was up to you to make it back up.

I really hope kids still do this.

We would build jumps and chit. Was brutally fun.

You haven't lived if you haven't almost died tobogganing lol.

We tobogganed town a closed ski hill three years ago.

Ended up crashing into an apple tree at the bottom. I still can see a couple scars on my wrist lol

Nice. I good day on the mountain is a lot of fun. I learned to snowboard in college, but haven't been for at least 20 years. I used to buy a season pass. I'd go to class in the morning then hit the slopes in the afternoon if the snow was good. I think his average day is under 20k. That day was just at a big mountain, that happened to not be busy, and he was skiing with his sons who are in there 20's.

Das fukking it OP

Heading up in 15 mins bluebird day and I missed the powder dump at home mountain cuz was ripping it up in sun valley.

Got to race the rope drop at the bowls and finished in the top 5 at the bottom after straight lining that chit most of the way, was fukking glorious been waiting for a rope drop there for a few years.

Skiing is life

[WoofieNugget]

Damn, you got introduced the right way. Hills in Ontario/Quebec are nothing compared to out there so now you're spoiled permanently.

It's a fun thing to know how to do for sure, but some people make it into a whole lifestyle, which is not only expensive but hugely time consuming. I never had the time to drive to a hill and spend all day going up and down.

[FarmersSon]

How was sun valley? I'm holding down the fort Friday while he heads that way.

Yes. We ski craigleith in collingwood too, and no comparison.

In laws have a chalet there too lol.


The ski bums make me lol though:

Sleeping in van
Working for lift ticket at rental shop
"Killer pow day brah!!"

Cringey, but I guess they are having fun lol

[Hutrapper]

Get yourself some heavy, charger skis and turn the mountain into a race track. Stopping for trains of ski school kids is optional.

I have my own gear except for skis. Tried some Blizzard Brahma 88s yesterday and loved them. Heavy, stiff, and you can power carve groomed with authority.

Kids out here ski better than me tho lol

[SuperHercules]

probably beats rapping in huts

Only barely

Snow is amazing right now

They gladed out all the trees off of fire trail from the tip of Seattle ridge. And with the new cold springs chair being way lower down the mountain it opened up a crazy amount of high speed deep pow tree skiing.

Basically like skiing the burn but with less avalanche danger since they dynamite and patroll it and no long trail back to in bounds.

[Hutrapper]

Be sure to lean forward more with your chest, crouch down, and keep your knees together, you'll bend them into a nice carve when you turn.

And I mean really lean forward.

Truth man. Having an actual lesson was gold.

Made all the difference.

You betcha. My #4 kid broke his collar bone wiping out on a sled last year. Caught air and landed wrong.

They generally get out sledding a couple times a year.

Snowboarder. I live within 15 minutes of 3 epic resorts. Used to live near Park City and all the resorts in the canyons to the south. Been at it since I was about 10.
