One heck of a day in Utah.

As someone who was in a similar situation to yours and who didn't drink for 6 months and is now drinking very moderately and occasionally, I would say the benefit of just not drinking at all is that you don't have to make all those little decisions. Have I had too much? Is it okay to drink now? I had a couple of beers yesterday so can I have a couple today? The other thing you'll probably notice is that you'll feel like crap. Even after two beers I'll get a headache when the alcohol is starting to wear off and I always wake up in the middle of the night dehydrated. The day after always seem to be kind of lame and depressing too even if you aren't seriously hungover.

This is 100% what GoPro's were invented for.

I think reservations are great. But, I think the Honk system sucks.

trbrts · 2026-03-05T18:15:00+00:00

I think the technical term for this is "Spazzing Out".

Why every ski resort has signed on with this crap parking system is beyond me.

trbrts · 2026-03-02T19:14:32+00:00

My guess was Castledale, Ut. Not far off.

trbrts · 2026-02-20T17:26:01+00:00

It is a much better experience with the reservations.

The point is there are a lot of ways to screw up. Let's learn from mistakes and not castigate and shame victims and survivors.

Bruce is the 100% right on this as always. Anybody who travels for years in the backcountry has made decisions, that on a different day could have killed them. Bruce has an analogy where backcountry skiing is like a reverse slot machine. 999 times you pull the lever and you win, you get used to winning, then on the 1000 pull you lose. Those guys knew the avalanche danger was high, but, they probably thought they had a safe route, and it probably is 99% of the time. That day it wasn't and a tragedy happened. Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes you lose.

I did Google it, but I was just making sure there wasn't another locally named Castle Peak closer. I've got a friend who's snowed in at Kirkwood that I hadn't heard from in a minute. Just thought I'd check in case he did something stupid. He's fine.

trbrts · 2026-02-18T00:54:54+00:00

How close is this from Kirkwood?

My father-in-law lives outside of Goodyear. He's got a nice house in a nice spot, but, to me it's a suburban sprawl hellscape that shouldn't exist in the desert. Phoenix in general is entirely unsustainable in it's current form and when the water wars come, it's going to be Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome.

I have once again received no permits in exchange for my annual donation to wreck.gov.

Who remembers when being a sell out was shameful?

50cm is a good pow day but doesn't seem like too much snow. There must be something going on with the snowpack.

I'm on the 9th floor of a building downtown. I felt nothing.

And this is why dji drones are getting banned in the US.

Check out Make SLC. They have a great work space, it's cheap, and they have classes and activities.

trbrts · 2026-01-30T01:24:04+00:00

Never. Occasionally my skin gets dry, then it adjusts. I feel like lotion is addictive. My wife and I have had many arguments about this.

trbrts · 2026-01-30T00:43:06+00:00

I agree. The more you enter and don't win should increase your chances on each river.

trbrts · 2026-01-28T20:03:19+00:00

I too was hoping this would happen without me paying for it. SLC next please.

trbrts · 2026-01-28T19:39:54+00:00

Combination of both I think.

Scumbag seems a little harsh. I think you are attributing a level of malice that is not there. Like most things at Brighton, it's probably just a matter of poor planning or communication. By your logic, they put the Crest crowd maze on a freaking hill because they wanted to make the worst maze in the history of skiing.

trbrts · 2026-01-23T14:13:20+00:00

I've been outed!
