how many of you kids hike the mountains. what i mean is shred the back country, do any of you kids even know how to use a tranciever, or are you all just park rats?

I like to go OB on huge storm days with lots of wind!! that way the snow fills in and causes a tremendous amount of loading....

nothing better than making that first turn and hrearing WHOOMP!!! as a three foot fracture line rips across the run...

Beacons...what are those, only pssys who are affraid of slides wear em..kind of like lifejackets....real men just ski it and not worry about slides or rescues or other peoples saftey...


hmmmm.....


or did you just start this thread to be an antogonistic prick???

some of the most educated backcountry mountaineers have been taken away from us because of the unpredictability.... be careful theres no 100%'s in the backcountry.

This is all true!

If it slides, all you have to do is just go straight, like they do in the movies. . .

And the snow is always the deepest when the chute has been wind loaded. That shit is the best. . .

Why do you even care if people here go OB? Shouldn't you be posting on Biglines.com or something?

I don't do a lot of backcountry until the spring when they open up beartooth pass. However, I'm gonna change that this year if the snow permits and use my tranciever somewhere besides the ridge at Bridger.

I knew you're were going to say that haha. Hike the park.

Anyways, I'll hike some glades and ridges off the mountain, but here in the east, hiking consists of moving around to higher points of glades, tucks, or the chin on stowe.
