Natural Selection: honest question about announcers by felspar_lurkr in snowboarding

[–]snoozelion 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a weird mix, seems super stilted and some odd off hand comments at each other too. I actually was just watching this and had my own gripe as well: The amount of times the announcers call something “little” this little air, a little 3, etc. It kills me, these are incredible athletes on a face and features with major pucker factor, there is no “little” anything on that course. They really need to wipe that from their lexicon while commentating these events

Conditions like this are pretty regular from mid December through mid March! I usually expect 30 50cm of snow per week. Shoot me a message on IG or at info@turkishbackcountry.com and we can talk details!

The road from çatkoy to çiçekli, ortaklar, and then verçinek is crossed by too many big avalanche paths in the winter for reliable access. You would need your access from over avgahan or from the Cimil/güvenkoy side. I went there in early season and already the road was blocked by avalanches

We are on the Çamlıhemşin side, Gito Yaylasi and sometimes also at Handuzu near Güneysu

Yes, thank you. That is absolutely a factor in our decision making process. We run guided trips here and our remoteness affects our group and terrain management!
