Anybody know what happened to the Spyder release video of Quan and Ferdy that Oliver Hoblitzelle put together recently? It seems like it's been deleted and I can't find it anywhere.
Titus69So many $3+ million dollar homes in park city get used maybe 3 times a year, come here for christmas, maybe spring and once mid summer, I'll detail their vacation cars and dont have to do shit cause they usually look brand new. Deer valleys gated community is full of fucked up houses that all have the blinds down cause the owners are essentially never there.
Condos too. The ones I helped manage saw action maybe 1 or 2 weeks out of the entire year yet somehow generate annual revenues in the ballpark of $30k + entirely tax-free because rich people in PC write all their stuff off and put it under LLCs and holding companies. I rode up the chair with a guy involved in that stuff during my time at DV and its wild the amount of money you can make renting those places out. And even more private communities, condo buildings, resort developments are planned for the next 15 years on Jordanelle side and throughout PC.
PC and Summit county governments are super corrupt. This town is gonna have a real fucking bad time if they continue to not give a shit about the middle-classes and workers who help keep their cushy town barely afloat because not many Americans want to put up with this crap just to ski a bunch and with the immigration issues and visa stuff, its gonna be harder to find cheap labor overseas nor would anyone want to come to the US to work.

As much as I want these towns to fail for not giving a shit about the middle classes, i just don't see it happening. Once this recession happens, people will start taking all the shitty jobs again in these towns. The only logical thing to do is burn the rich

My bosses landlord at our shop is dumby rich cause he owns so many apartments and shit around PC that are expensive to live out of, he owns a car wash in town to, owns like 15 old porsches, defenders and shit. But the amount of development in this town is insane, our shop is off 248 near the jordanelle and theres so much construction around us along the side of the mtn above the lake near tuhaye/hideouts neighborhood and then just in our plaza where theres already a bunch of townhouse condo things they're building another whole patch right now, and then even up off main st and shit theres condos being built. I wonder how itll affect the town cause people are moving here all the time but it's only rich people who work from home or just vacation here, not like they're all people coming to work in town at pretty much mostly shitty-ish jobs.

OregonDeadStarted working on balance exercises moving my head with my eyes closed and I suck. I’d be dead if I tried to ski in a white out right now.
Theres only so much you can do in low light, no matter the lens or even if I know the spot I'm always terrified with each turn in flat light cause idk if I'm about to go over a bump or something.

You can train yourself to balance by feel with the nerves in your feet.
My problem is I was in boot for like 3 months and I wasn’t using it.
Eyes ears and touch all help with balance.
Try standing on one leg. Then try it while moving your head side to side. Then try it moving your head with your eyes closed.
I am going to need a lot of practice to get back where I was before my crash
Last night living in PC, been nice having no rent, 15 minute commute and a great temp difference to salt lake, however I've literally done nothing besides work and be bored, very ready to be close to all the homies and do shit. Also hyped to not have 3 cats to look after, but time for that rent life but almost time for that ski life.
Haha yep, I was walking up the street, saw a yard sale and recognized her immediately, she was super nice (and hot) and hooked the price up nicely for the backpack but was still tempted to mention memecork but obviously wasnt the right time too.
Went to a formal for my girlfriends medical school last night. You should see some of the entitled hooligans that get in. Makes me genuinely feel bad for all the humble people who didn't get the opportunity. Seems like a lot of people get into medicine for the wrong reasons...
Good chance of snow on Wednesday for guardsman. Don’t know precip amounts yet. Anyone wanna help get some tubes up there if it pans out? Pretty sure the ones from the past couple of years are pretty rugged now.

Yeah I've been eying the weather and see the chance of rain in park city with the low up here being 33 so I assume btown and guardsman/upper big little will see some snow. If work ends up being canceled I could definetly be down, I'd be stoked if itd enough for Brighton people to bring a few rails down to bonezone, they're all sitting just above the top of majestic lift.
They review apps based on cumulative GPA, prereq GPA, resume content, 1 video response and 1 essay response.
okay so for the 2019 application pool(i'm in the 2020 start pool) the stats are:
-cumulative GPA: 3.500 - I have a 3.64. 3.0 minimum for consideration
-Prereq GPA: 3.72 - I have a 3.94. 3.0 minimum for consideration
-I also have a measly 4 months CNA experience, 8 months as an admin assistant in healthcare, as well as managerial experience at Windells and a local ski club.
-I can't really evaluate myself on my video and essay responses, but to give myself the benefit of the doubt, I will go with average responses.
Last year there were 198 applicants. There are only 56 spots.
I'm stressing. Decisions come out in December and I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG.
Titus69Was actually raining hard enough to cancel work friday in PC, kinda nice though. This is nice to see too.
I always take everyones pre-winter seasonal forecasts and stuff with a grain of salt. Like even the bad years here in the past have been a really fun time skiing and as long as theres enough snow to keep it going Nov-May, ill be a happy dog.
Love early season snow and especially fall hikes with the colors and snow contrasting together. Favorite time of year no doubt besides winter. Look out for that brutal early season snowpack though. Its made things difficult in the wasatch for early season touring especially up high with the weak faceted layers from all that shitty early season snow we usually get.

Yeah were suppose to have a good year according to the almanac and blah blah, but yeah if I can ski the bird may and maybe june that'll be fuckin awesome. Hopefully we either start getting snow and keep getting it or get a little to enjoy with rails, then melts high up on steeper slopes for less danger, I remember like second day of brighton being open i looked up way above millie kinda towards grizzlys backside and people had been touring way up there with what I assume wasnt more than 2 feet of snow, no slides though.
Am I the only one that thinks the new post x ozzy song is fucking awful? Not a huge fan of post and like the guy but god putting ozzy into a mix of new wave music is gross.
It's all too damn good, wallischs 4 pretz 2, Wileys full segment and PWhite and the boys at sun valley, fuck Sunday football level 1 releases are wayyyy better and not to long til the slc premiere, and snowwwww I'm hyped as ever.

2008-12 was when skiing peaked.
Nothing will ever compare to the feeling refresh, EDIAS, network & eye trip will give me when I watch them.
Tonight was the first time seeing eye trip in probably 8 years and it felt like the first time again. Such a good movie.
I mean there’s very few videos that make me feel the same way as videos and films from those years do. Dahlberg’s summer recap from last year is one of them, as is the Kimbo recaps from 2 years ago.
Skiing is a lot more impressive with more “wtf” moments but in terms of ski porn, the films from those years take the cake for me

I think he’s saying you should be the change you wish to see
DeebieSkeebiesThat shit fucking LEVELED the entire room at the SLC premier. Ill never forget that.
Cant fucking wait for the premiere, only a few weeks away, hoping to either be intoxicated or extremely spliffed out, still sucks it's at the complex cause fuck standing.
BigPurpleSkiSuitI will be headed up there to build a snowman as an offering to the season to come.
Haha I'd love to see enough snow to build a lil booter but I'll be at work anyways and itll melt quick most likely, sadly looks like brightons getting no accumulation so no bonezone yet.

Shit never mind..... also use this like for guardsman and upper brighton. Might take a minute to understand, but it's more accurate for that range.
