eh, to much work to just keep doing what I do every day
Summit county? Seriously? Fucking come on….. Lines lines lines
A condo? A 4×4? Vail? Beaver Creek? Only place I want to go is silverton. And they can go fuck themselves with no Canadian entries. I will keep my van and tuning job up here.. thanks though.
I commend Columbia for their no Canadian policy and implore unofficialnetworks to do the same.
I won’t go on UN if you tourists quit coming to Whistler.
Ok; if you promise to keep out of our country and stop using our oil I’m fine with that.

Dillon, LMAO, and Summit County skiing, Why don’t you run a contest that lets you live in a real ski area where it’s not easy to ski bum it. Dillon is a ghetto and summit skiing is pretty cheap mostly because it’s flat, the snowpack sucks and it never snows consistantly.
why not run the contest where winning actually lets someone ski some real terrain that isnt affordable. For instance, do this contest for Jackson, a bad ass place in Europe or Canada and then someone might put more effort into a video and you might have yourself a real competetition
sorta agree, but with the exception of loveland and abasin, summit is not that cheap to ski in. keystone and breck are pretty expensive. but they still suck.
Can you change it to chamonix bra?
If you win, pick up a pocket pussy before you move here
Colorado… no thanks.
busy schlepping bags in LCC, skiing powder and shit.
This is cool, but I’m set in Whistler. You can’t beat Whistler Blackcomb with another single resort in North America, love it. And I’ve skiied all over the American West Coast, so I am not pulling that out of my ass.
On that note. Just Looove how political this is getting. And bite the hand that feeds (your resort’s economy), will ya, guys? Tourists can be mostly avoided on the mountain anyways, if you know your resort properly. And don’t go out on nights you know are high-traffic-tourist-times. Wake up early and beat the tourists to the pow.
