Question for those of you out west?

If you're all so excited about the snow, then why the hell are you not out there hiking and earning your turns?

I went to the photos section expecting to see a bunch of sweet action photos of conquests from out west over the past few days as the snow piles up, but there was only one, from a Whistler employee.

Get off the damn internet and enjoy the snow that you are so fortunate to have! Throw the skis on the pack and get bootpacking! Take some photos and share the stoke with us East Coasters that are suffering from 70s, 80s and 90s for the past few weeks.

Its the ridge behind Keystone and Abasin.  I forget the name of the pass that it is near.  Its a pass that you can only walk or bike.  Takes you from Keystone to Geargetown the back way.  Its not Gunalla

I'm norther than all of you...(I think). And I'd be skiing somehow if there was more than max 3 inches at the top of mountains. I skied down my inrun with an inch or snow, does that count?

I got up to Baker last Saturday, and drove four hours each way with a cold. I hope that satisfies you.

brighton was great two weekends ago, since you could hit ALL the jibs up at snake creek.  but before last weekend, someone tagged the stuff, and they put up signs saying that you cant jib that stuff and they will ticket your ass.  so go hit up ALTA
