Rolling In the Deep

Eighty-five winters ago, skiers were first drawn to Alta by the promise of powder days. Eighty-five years later we are experiencing a special winter—one that has delivered storm after storm and the continued promise of powder days. Alta Ski Area received 903 inches of snow this season—the...

On Oregon's highest volcano this week has been excellent. Next week is looking good!

I could have gone there last week, but I went to Whistler instead, and we got 4cm of fresh on Monday and that was it . Still had an excellent time.

I've never had a bad time in Canada. W/B is always tons of fun...even without much fresh.

Makes me think of a question for the group. When you are planning a ski trip how far in advance do you choose a destination? For me it's 48 hrs or less if I'm going for quality. Great last minute deals to be had.

Skied there after graduating from the UW December 1979. By the end of the week, my VW square back was buried in snow almost to the roof level. Steep and deep!

vid of the kid dropping into CC flashed me back to a Fiji surf trip with my then 15 year old son. Fun day, 8' waves with a few bigger sets, went back to the boat to get some water (have to boat to the offshore reef from an island), and than this rolled in and lurched up on the reef. That's my son with the blue helmet on, facing down the beast, and to this day neither of us have an idea how he managed to get under that wave with his board and pop out the back. The grown man next to him? Absolutely rag-dolled for a hundred yards down down the reef, his board in pieces.

More than you ever wanted to know about me.

EPISODE 319: ADAM Ü — THE POWELL MOVEMENT

Adam Ü has received a lot of press recently, all for the wrong reasons. But getting a lot of press is what Adam does. Over the past 20 years, Adam has more covers than any skier I can think of, but his pro career has always been a struggle. It’s a good thing Adam lives a double life as a marine biol

Great powder at White Pass today. Som variability in the report but up to 14 inches this morning. Snowed most of the day. I’m going to sleep well tonight… The WP crew was busy getting ready for Winter Carnival and the castle was looking good by the end of the day. Good news is the mountains are getting a lot of snow. It did look like the road into Leech Lake will take a while to be open. Could only see the top of the stop sign.

It’s been dumping up there all week. I was planning to make a few trips up there this week, but I blew up my knee on Sunday. Last run of the day at WP and my Knee got smoked. My season is over. Pretty sad about that.

ACL?

 

[Bob Rankin]

ACL?

That and MCL, possibly meniscus. Maybe all three, still waiting on an MRI. I guess I’ll have to start tying fly’s

Bummer! Take care.

Damn, I hope it's not all 3. Well wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the well wishes gentlemen! My mind says hold my beer and watch this, while my body says you’re a F***IN idiot! I guess it’s time to start growing up

I don't think it's time to start growing up per se as there are lots of folks older than you on the ski slopes (right, Mark?). But I suppose if you were hot-doggin', sliding down a rail backwards, jumping large jumps and doing somersaults in mid-air, and whatever it is that radical skiers do these days....... well tone it down a tad? Stuff happens to young folks too - I remember when I heard Jerry Davis's leg break (femur), we were in high school. Take care, good luck with your recovery.

Part two. More marine biology and ski industry banter and then my experience getting buried in the avalanche that killed my friends.

EPISODE 320: ADAM Ü PT. 2 — THE POWELL MOVEMENT

The avalanche that recently buried Adam Ü in Japan was a life-changing event for many; lives were lost, and people will never be the same. In part 2 of my podcast with Adam Ü, we talk about marketability and marine biology. Adam then tells the heavy story of the avalanche, being buried, losing Kyle

Great article today in SI about WC victory number 87. You have to love seeing such a gracious and insightful champion, arguably the best who has ever skied.

She has a much greater fan base in Europe than she has here in the US. Truly a great athlete and person.

Mikaela shiffrin IS the greatest skier ever, period!
What she has accomplishment at her age is truly amazing and in my opinion makes her the greatest athlete ever!
I am so proud that she is an American athlete. Since watching Bill Johnson win the first US Down Hill Olympic Gold Medal in the 1984 Sarajevo Yugoslavia. Too the Mahre twins, Debbie Armstrong, Tommy Moe, Boddie Miller and Lindsey Vonn and so many others.
She is the greatest, far beyond any professional sports athletes, MJ, KB, TB, JM, TW.
They all come up short to that strong Little woman that has the most drive, most desire to win than anyone else on the planet right now.
