Those are the boulders that are on top of the mountain. walking on top of the mountain you pretty much have to walk on the rocks or you'll fall knee deep in snow.

Yea our snowfall has been pitiful so far this year, which is why such little snow was a big deal to me.

hahaha! Well this was mostly for SS...he's soooo catty about the sierras and all the snow we've gotten...

Understood, lol
It's pissing me off how little snow we've gotten so far this season. Half the resorts only have 40" bases it seems like...

This is the info for Kirkwood:

378" - 463" snowfall this season

185" - 209" base :eek:

At Sierra:

Base at the BASE of the mtn: 7'

Base at the summit: 12.2'

Honestly, I feel bad for you...there is nothing worse than getting no snow when you like to snowboard.

Beaver Creek....43" base
Breckenridge....34" base

Oh well, I'm trying to convince my dad to take me to Silverton for Spring Break. And I have less than 2 years of high school left and I"m gonna try to go to UBC, if I get in there I'll have tons of nice snow.

BC as in British Columbia? I hear they have no snow either...try UNR...then you're close to Tahoe and at least a dozen resorts!

Goto UBC, it's a good school and you'll be w/ Canadians instead of snotty little Cali monkey girls :blah:

Yup. And even tho I've been in the US longer than I've been in Canada, I'm still not giving up my Canadian citizenship 'cause I don't want to be kidnapped when I travel abroad later. Ppl don't kidnap Canadians 'cause 1) they're (we're) cool, 2) just like the Swiss, no one cares about us. We wave our little red and white maple leaf flag and everyone just smiles and waves back

Hell, I think we (Canada) could be invaded by a forign nation and we'll just take 'em out for a beer, ehy :thumb:

Edit: Canada, a nation that welcomes everyone, except US citizens....BBAAAHAHAHA.

It's true. My local ski area is a landfill covered in man-made snow. Click and have a good laugh at my expense. When you need a fix...

A COLD beer? when I went to Canada, you had to go to a special store for COLD beer...I was surprised....I would think that Canadians would want COLD beer at their fingertips...

Yes, I do like it...

Wow...up to a 32 inch base...y'all're living large! Does it smell like a landfill? I would think you'd want more than 32 inches of snow between you and a pile of garbage?

Cold beers are in the taverns. But the store is own'd by the Man and he don't chill no brews. It might be a stodgy old English thing. No matter, I like taverns since you can get fries w/ gravy there too

Yep.

We can go up to WI for some hills with a 400 foot drop. That were made from Glaciers but that's about it.

And your post came out a little snobbish.

Is that what you are a snow snob?

Yeah I thought I was losing my mind when I was in liquor store in Whistler...where is the cold beer? I wondered aloud...and the snotty Canadian stock man was all...duuuhhh...in a beer and wine store! and I was like huh? Beer and wine store? No cold beer in a LIQUOR store?...and he was still snotty and goes...no...you have to go to a beer and wine store for cold beer but you will pay more...and I said...how much more...and he said...3 or 4 dollars...by this time I was sick of his rude ass and said...Canadian or US dollars! HAHAHA...he got PISSED!

No, no not at all...it was in disbelief! I mean if you don't have mtn's, you don't have mtn's...I was just kinda shocked that people would ski on a landfill...landfills are kinda smelly...

Well the 2 places within 30 minutes of me are not landfill. One is in the middle of a singles community calles 4 lakes. basically it is built on the backfill from the construction. They have a nice bar and 4 rope tows. They have a "terrain park" I think it is boxes and rails and some jumps. I haven't been there in years, except to drink.

The other place is a hilly golf course and It has one quad chair and like 5 rope tows.

I am about an hour and 15 from the WI border and there are a couple of places a bit better but everything around here is no more than a 2 minute cruise down.

It's not a functioning landfill, but I'm pretty sure it was at one time. Any garbage is buried under lots of dirt. There's probably some construction backfill, too. Another place I snowboard is backfill from a strip mine right next to it. The city of Ann Arbor is closing a landfill and is currently contemplating turning it into a ski area. I've got my fingers crossed.

no I swear it really made me feel sorry for people out there...makes me feel very lucky to live near mountains of rock and dirt...

Enginerd A2 · Jan 31, 2005

You are lucky, but your local scene is what you make of it. The quality of riding (mostly park riding) is higher than you'd think in Michigan. There are some rippers. I have some family in SF and I really love it there, so who knows, I may move out there before too long.

Oh yeah, and the people in Wyoming.

And Montana.

And the interior of B.C.

:mumble:

But *surely* not the people in California....... :rolleyes:

That's like someone from the East Coast trying to convince me of their great snow.

You are SO incredibly clueless...but thats ok...we don't want the likes of you out here anyway...however...there WAS indeed some of this Sierra Cement you speak of in the boardercross terrain park yesterday...I feel like I have a concussion! Jeebus! It was fun...just cruising along and WHAM...I was down so hard and so fast...hurt like a beatch. But...that's what happens when you're used to nice soft snow and powder all the time...you hit ONE ice patch...I think I'm still seein stars!

Are you telling me that you guys have been getting 5-7% water-content powder?

Don't worry - any trip to ski in California would require that I drive through Utah........ and I'd end up skiing there.
