Anyone ever read Davids bio on @Virtika website? Just proves how much of a douche this guy is. Sucks their outerwear is supposedly pretty good but every thing on their website makes me cringe. https://www.virtika.com/david-lesh/

Imagine being this mad about someone walking a log while simultaneously supporting the ski industry which exploits public resources for profit. Almost every ski resort in Colorado leases land from the forest service in case you didn't know. So if you're actually mad about this then try to have at least SOME logical consistency with your outrage and don't buy a pass this year. If you're going to get angry about a David Lesh walking on a log then get angry about ski areas cutting down trees for lifts and runs, diverting water for snowmaking, and operating heavy machinery in "fragile ecosystems". That same type of tundra that you're pissed about Lesh for driving over on his snowmobile gets driven over by cats and snowmobiles at resorts. And if you're saying to yourself "Well the resorts PAY for the land that they use so that means they can do what they want" then I guess you really don't think public spaces are sacred and you're just a reactionary little bitch.

ski resorts are set up in the interest of the general public, your average skier would never get to experience that sort of nature if there weren't established runs and lifts.

in a way we sacrifice a miniscule portion of our public lands in order to get more people outside. hopefully some of them end up being respectful stewards of the environment unlike your butt buddy david.

Vail is publically traded on the new york stock exchange and charges $200 a day for lift tickets. I'm pretty sure they don't have the best interest of the general public at heart lol. And again for all you dense motherfuckers sitting here crying that Lesh needs to be publically executed or something. He walked on a log... get over it.

yes but he obviously knew that he wasn't supposed to be doing that. the impact is not just him walking on the log it is that if he does not face backlash other people will feel ok doing it themselves and then there will be a problem. if he wasn't seeking attention what was he doing? protesting the protection of fragile ecosystems? his actions are incredibly hypocritical. he criticized vail for "decimating wilderness" but he doesn't seem to care much for helping protect it. the dude has his head is so far up his own ass.

Ah yes, Mt Evans Ski Resort, how many people have skied that ski resort on Mt Evans? It's not Wilderness anyway and the road was there before the surrounding area was designated as wilderness. https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/psicc/recarea/?recid=80756

Again you talk about "walking on a log", can you just fuck off with your straw man? It's not just any log, its a log in the middle of a highly visited, rare, fragile ecosystem. Any sort of human contact with the water damages it.

yeah, and why was the surrounding area designated as wilderness? Do some research and see what special ecosystem exists there and then keep in mind that it's bisected by a highway with a gift shop on it.

And did he jump in the lake? from what I saw he just walked out on the log like hundreds of others before him.

Also if you read the forest service's management plan for the area then you would see that the main detriment to the hanging lake ecosystem is soil erosion from increased trail use and not "human contact with the water" lol. David Lesh did nothing except trigger stupid people when he walked out on that log.

Fuck Lesh, I used to dig him and his his gear until the Independence pass incident when I really started to question who he rly was, then when the hanging lake incident happened it was the last straw for me, he's such a miserable trust fundy cuck, he may not have "destroyed hanging lake" but the absolute fuckin disrespect of natural areas is what did it for me, protected areas are protected for a reason.
