That was CT55 markering out in the same place as Bjohannson. You were skiing somewhere at Snowbird. I'm sure it will come to me.

Its really confusing, and none of you guys ever really said where this was in the original thread.

Ct55 know all about markering out, though funn this is the excact spot that Bjohnasson markered out this year.



ct55 not sure if you have ever seen that?

the other ironic part about Ct55 and Bjohannson was they both told me thier binding were never a problem...then proceded to prerelease all over the place.

To be fair, I had never Marker-ed out until I skied with BWPA. He showed me spots I would never have found and gave me confidence to ski much harder than I normally do in the hairy spots (the spot in the pic above is pretty darn steep with a bit of cliff exposure lookers right). My ski should not have released in this spot, but did.

Its almost here.

Absolutely right. I live in Oregon now but I lived for 20 years in the land of the flea and home of the plague.

Very wild guess, i've never even been there, but I'm guessing revelstoke since I think I remember someone telling me you could do road/lift assisted BC laps there.

Here's one. Don't know who the skiers are. Just took that shot with them in the foreground so you could get a feel for the pitch.

Well I'm going to say Wedge at Sugarloaf, you can see top of whiffletree quad and base of King pine quad, I think the next trail over and slightly down where it is flatter is Ramdown.

That's where you end up if you keep going down but they gave the top two sections a new name. I think it was all called Wedge before they decided the hype the top section.

Then it must be White Nitro above the spillway x-cut. Thats what it shows on a enlarged poster map I have of the place. Was not certain if it was above the x-cut but with that pitch it had to be, nice looking day back then.

Not sure if this will be enough or not.. there's kind of a ridgeline in the background.

I thought this one would be easy because it's kind of a signature run for SB.

My dog loves the bumps too.

Yup, that is White Nitro from the Spillway Crosscut at Sugarloaf.

One of the many steeper heart rate headwalls at the 'Loaf.
