Gear talk there is a little more relevant for my needs. But yeah, they can be egotistical assholes over there. Mind you, a lot of previews of next years gear

I get this vibe from a lot of backcountry skiers and locals. This is my first full season in Colorado (wolf creek pass/area) and all the locals (more on this later) just hate everyone and everything. I was skiing some on this popular ridge right next to the main lift and some guy was telling me I need a transceiver. Locals are always trying to talk me out of skiing there "sweet spots" and the minute they find out I'm a transplant get pissy with me, as if I'm ruining the pass. I've received hate mail from a kid on here telling me to get out of his precious state and frankly I'm sick of it.

I have an Orage jacket which definitely much brighter and detailed than 90% of the locals. I was in the lift line riding with these boarders I met on the mountain that day, all of were wearing jackets of the same caliber as mine. The lifty mentioned that it's hard to lose someone with such bright colors. We all laughed and he followed it up with "Us locals can pick out you summit county folks from a mile away. You should be careful on your vacations here. Us locals know how to be safe, unlike you guys". That pissed me off. The boarders I was riding with were going to school in Texas, two of them grew up in Durango (75 minutes from Wolf Creek), and I've never skied Summit in my life. I've received hate mail from a kid on here telling me to get out of his precious state and frankly I'm sick of it.

After that day I just stopped caring about what any local/bc skiers has to say about me. If they have any safety tips to share with me I would be ecstatic, but that is rarely the case. I will obey the golden rule with the locals/bc skiers, but I'm not gonna act butthurt anymore. Wolf Creek is an amazing place to ski and I invite you all to come ski it.

its fine because none of the "locals" there ski any of the good stuff anyways, they just like to act surly. but seriously wolf creek sucks and they never get any snow. NO ONE should go down there. not worth the drive or the money

TGR's forums have been down since like 3:00 this afternoon, no clue why. I wanted to see if that avy rescue video with the guy who was beyond clusterfucked in digging the guy out was posted over there yet to see their thoughts and opinions; but to no avail the sight was down...

Cool story, I know ;D

Jondrums is the man for making all those templates. What one do you need? I maybe have a few saved to my computer, not 100% though; on mobile.

I talk a lot of shit on internet forums I wouldn't dare join TGR since people take it so seriously and someone might kill me or themselves if I troll them.

I read the Tahoe thread sometimes for weather and snow stuff since the Kirkwood websites snow report blows and is confusing but it is kind of pathetic there's always sad shit like one guy being "Oh its snowing I'm thinking of skiing this weekend" and the next like "Don't even think about asking to stay the condo is full bro." Or dudes taking pictures of the tracks they just skiied. People like that must be weird as fuck in person.

This website is chill you can fuck around and offend people and noone gives a fuck. Its also a good balance of skiing talk and people who are bored just messing around.

Where did I say that.

I said people posting up tons of pictures of snow they took right after they skiied. Its not them skiing or anything.

Can somebody PLEASE find that TGR thread when a member took a picture of LJ and some other skier (forgot) stretching out their cotton tall tees (I think it was at Breck? Key?), and it turned into this huge hate thread on NS. I remember I made a thread on here about the TGR thread and it turned into a war. Can't find it though.

My two roommates are both huge Tgr forum guys, and I get constant shit from them about being on here and wearing bigger coats and stuff. It's all in good fun, I don't really like Tgr forums as much. I check their sell/trade section because its always high quality stuff as well as the Jackson thread to find people to ride with..

That's weird. I work for the company that manages TGR's servers. Typically I will get an email when they go down (it occasionally happens for a variety of reasons), but I didn't get any yesterday. Did it show an error? Or was the site just not responding?

People on TGR don't give a fuck either, except for some of the wack members, but NS and other internet forums have plenty of people who give way too much of a fuck also.
And WTF? You think its sad that people take pictures of the tracks on the lines they ski? I don't know about you but I get really stoked looking back at my tracks after I ski a line, and some people don't care enough to take the time to set up a shot when they're actually skiing.

The whole TGR attitude thing is a way to keep the forums from being overrun with threads like my skis are too slippery, what do I do? do these pants mach my coat? Should I get fulltilts times 1000. Its not that they actually care all that much, its a kind of self moderation. The TGR forums don't really have active mods, unlike NS.
