The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

without trying to talk too much, which is difficult for me, here's a short TR, there should be a longer article later. I was at Colorado for the trade show and then went to Canada due to poor conditions.

The trade show, I find it a little tiresome but good to see what companies I like



Sunday morning Berthoud pass



Loveland that afternoon, it was really good. I just like this picture but conditions were never that sparse


On snow demo at copper, so much frickin vibe... but I'll write more about that later




THEN ... Canada

Red Mountain, nearest city Rossland (it's only 6 miles away, and it's really not a city) but Red really is a mountain, actually three mountains -- I'm already talking too much








Then Whitewater, I don't even know what to say about whitewater, it's one of the most amazing places I have ever been. It is as extreme as you wish it to be, and is the friendliest gateway to Backcountry I have seen but everyone is equipped and knows what they are up to. I want to go back there again next year and take some avy courses with them, which by the way they offer on demand with a certain group number. It was amazing.

So there it is, it's incomplete but does that count as a trip report, been a long time since I've done one -- the pictures are kind of a hassle

I can stare at that last pic for hours.
Looks like you scored some good snow in Canada.
