I'm putting it together, 125 people maximum, full tram. Top of the tram start, end of the ski bridge finish. I'll need help with the logistics, but I'm thinking either midwinter sunny morning first tram or sunny spring day after warming so as to have the best going fast conditions, whatever way down is fastest, winner gets something cool TBD, I'll need your guys help figuring that out too.

Whoever wants in, PM me your deets and I'll put a spreadsheet together. If I get at least 50 people, I will find a day to make this happen somehow.

They'll probably join in the fun so go right ahead.


But for real. Anything snowbird can post on social media. They'd probably endorse this kinda thing at the end of the season

Sadly not, I was not able to organize it properly. I'm thinking maybe some kind of Instagram page for next year.

Try and pick a date by the end of November to give as many people planning opportunities as possible.

So very sad thing happened to me last week.

I was at Copper, doing some laps in the Copper Bowl taking various lines. Well I get off the lift and ski left down to the part that has a long but shallow cornice. There must have been 15-20 people all lined up facing out, skis across the edge, and some were even smacking the cornice with their poles. It looked like something straight outta G. N. A. R.. So here's me rolling up "so we doing a Chinese downhill or what!?".... And everyone looked at me so perplexed at wtf that meant. Yep. I cried inside and then skied away in shame and disbelief.

Ngl I think asking people to do a “Chinese downhill” sounds kinda racist. Like I know it isn’t but it sounds bad lol. I do love a good Chinese downhill tho🙏🙏
