DeebieSkeebiesi think this all the time but there are still some worthwhile conversations/threads.


I agree though, its turning into reddit-tier shit where everyones gotta try to one-up each other.


dub post but I don't care. my main gripe with this site now is how fucking jaded most of you have become with the almost infinite amount of incredible skiing and incredible ski media being churned out on an almost constant basis. Not saying we all have to be blown away by everything, but the way some of you critique skiing/edits/movies/etc. like they're fucking bottles of wine is amazing to me, but whatever. Everyones entitled to their opinion and we all got em like assholes.

Right around the 1:03:00 mark onwards in the Snowblower podcast w/ Wally and Decker is fucking spot on about this. We all expect way too fucking much from people nowadays and we really do miss how mindblowing some skiing is. We're living in the golden age of what we love and we aren't taking any time to really enjoy it, we all just seem cunty all the time.

you actually raise a pretty fair point, we came from a time where we waited all season long to see our favorite companies churn out their works, get stoked at the premiers, and onward to the season whereas now we can literally see movies being filmed as we speak due to shit like instagram stories, snapchat, other social media and that kinda turns people off like yourself, I totally get that.

totally right with edits, too. remember how we would all eagerly wait the next 4bi9 edit drop or something? good times

its odd, though. I kinda like it because you're local rippers that everyone at the mtn knows and no one else can finally get some exposure, like there were some insanely crazy edits from Snowbird in the past years from guys im all like "Who the fuck is this and why isn't he on the FWT", you know? But like you said, it can be at times overwhelming.

my main gripe is how critical we are, too. I mean they're ski movies, not Oscar-worthy productions is what im trying to say I guess.

It makes me mad that people can eat 3700 calories a day and be underweight but I eat 1200-1400 and workout daily and I'm still obese.

I was the opposite all through high school and college, I tried so hard to gain weight for sports, protein powder, raw eggs, working out 6 days a week, the whole deal. Never was able to gain the weight I wanted. You would have hated me.

I built some crazy eating habits back then, I could just fill myself with junk food and nothing would happen. Then, about 9 months ago I felt like my metabolism just changed. I've still got those eating habits but now they actually impact my body and fitness. I ran more this summer and was more active than any other time in my life and I still gained 15 lbs and am feeling way curvier than I ever had. I might actually need to start eating healthy.

The way our bodies process food and exercise, and how that changes over the course of our lives blows my mind.

Also, yesterday's opening at Targhee was definitely top 5 deepest days of my life. Non stop face shots, all the cliffs went, and no one was there because apparently people work on Thursdays. Too bad I jacked up my back and hand.

Same. My metabolism has been whack my entire life and it fucking sucks. My weight loss progression has halted ever since I got back to school just because I'm not as active as I was in the summer. I just need to get back into the right mindset again so I can keep moving forward. My ultimate goal is to be able to get down to 200 lbs by the end of next summer at least. Currently at 230lbs and I was at 268 in May. I still feel a lot better but not seeing progress has really put a damper on my entire attitude along with all the stress I've been feeling with constant bullshit assignments I've had to do.

Yeah dude I don't know what else I can possibly do. I work out like an hour to an hour and a half 5-6 days per week. If I eat any less I'll be malnourished haha. I guess I was just meant to be obese Hahahaha.

Well, managed to kill all my data and have like a week left til I have it again. Most likely because I leave my data on driving around and at work and then sit on my phone all of my break with no wifi.

Yep same. I've come to terms with it, and I love my body. I am healthier than a lot of people I know. I fuel my body with necessary nutrition and exercise every single day because it is good for my body, not because I'm on this mission to be a size 2. I know I'll never be a size 2. As long as I can do what I want, I am happy. I can go run 4 miles and still feel great. I know so many thin people who can't even run a mile. It's all about your health. Our bodies are temples!!

To those struggling to lose weight, try road biking. I went from ~180 to ~150 (5'11 for reference) from road biking. You log ~20 miles a day for a month or two, I can guarantee you the weight falls off.

Until I picked up biking I varied from ~170-200 and fucking losing weight just to regain it from bad eating sucked. I've now spent close to two years at this weight.

Eat regular meals no matter what. Exercise no matter what. If you're eating 1400 calories per day it's quite likely that your body is conserving energy because it thinks you're starving. I will easily eat that much in one meal..

I mean, I used to eat 800-1100 though so I feel like I'm eating too much. To maintain my current weight I should eat about 2000 so to lose weight I have to eat less than that. Which I do and it doesn't work hahahahah

Some tips:

Short INTENSE cardio is much more effective for burning fat. Do some hardcore circuit training for 8 minutes instead of running on the treadmill for 30 min. You'll get a lot more out of the circuit training too

Ab training doesn't remove belly fat, but it'll help gain some muscle. Gaining muscle will help increase the amount of calories you burn a day, so focusing on 3x10 reps that get you to failure will help you build muscle!

dont starve yourself. This will throw your body into preservation mode, using less calories and making you exhausted daily

Eat balanced meals. Don't just have salad every day, every meal. Lean meat like chicken and tuna and great sources of protein, anything fried is really no go. Just focus on having a balanced diet and you'll feel better and lose weight

try having a semi-fatty breakfast. This will get your body burning throughout the day instead of carbs. Don't avoid egg yolks! They're a healthy source of carbs and fats


You probably know a few of these, but I hope this helps! Message me if you have any questions or want more advice. I'm by no means a professional, but I spend way too much time watching videos and researching diet, fat loss, and gaining muscle.

But.. Eating less is usually not an effective way to lose weight. It's usually better to eat a healthy amount and exercise more. Eat a lot of calories but burn more than you're taking in. That's how you get a faster metabolism :) (I think..)

I keep getting annoying, minor injuries. Every time I fall when skiing, something is throbbing when I stand up. Whiplash, torn pectoral, bad knee, Achilles problems because of my bad knee.

I'm a mess, physically, for my age. Just can't convince myself to tone down my skiing any time soon.

i was up at britown on tuesday morning for crest's opening. they were reporting a 33 inch storm total and we were the 6th chair up when they finally opened the lift at ~10:30. but all the chairs in front of us were snowboarders and since they were all strapping in we got firsties on same insanely deep untouched chowda. like we were hip thrusting through it to even get down the headwall. unfortunately crest has a very short steep section, but that storm was honestly a godsend for the wasatch.

for sure. it's no jackson hole, but there's a lot of fun terrain if you know where to go. plus brighton normally gets just as much snow as alta/bird and not nearly as many people. most midweek pow days i'm skiing right back onto the lifts and a lot of zones will stay fresh all day.

I'll be staying in salt lake from the 17th to the 26th, probably gonna be mostly skiing Park City because I have the epic pass but I definitely want to put in a few days at alta/bird because I've only skied there once and it was icy and terrible. Wanna take a few laps if you're around? It would be awesome shredding with someone who actually knows the mountain

id have to see my schedule for work but definitely would be down. I skied with chubz and cummings last year and had a fuckin great time, definitely some of the best days I had all year. me and cummings got trapped up at snowbird one day cuz it was nuking/very windy and they shut everything down till the late afternoon and we skied non-stop blower lines all day long, it was killer.

I have no idea where to live next year. All my friends want to live near our South Campus which is in a not-so-good part of the city and it's pretty sketchy. For instance a friend of mine was robbed at gunpoint outside of her house a year ago. A girl just got stabbed/robbed last week. And houses get robbed a lot of the time (mostly frat houses though). So I'm not really sure what to do.

Theres one group of people I'd feel safe living with but I'm not sure they have any room or if it would be weird to ask if they have a room open. All my other friends are trying to rent houses and stuff but I don't know. They're girls and honestly I wouldn't feel safe living with them. Or I can spent 2-3x as much to live by North Campus but I can't afford that lol. First world probs hahaha.
