Know The Code

Check out the contents of the rack shown at 2:48. What resort is this at?

Well, the scenery looks like Colorado and in the beginning of the vid there are two trail signs for "Sundance" and "High Noon" which are at A-Basin. The "Mercury Superchair" at 3:15 is at Breck.

Unfortunately, that awesome rack appears to be a still picture, and since it appears at the "always use devices to help runaway equipment" line, it could be from anywhere. I ALMOST think those are deciduous trees in the background, which makes me think something out east, (like Mt. Abrams where there is that Telemark East festival...?)

Short answer: who knows, but I wish my local rack looked like that.

Jeez, good find. There are some classics in that rack. Wow.

I love staring at racks.

I was waiting for the lift at Smuggs this weekend with my nephew and heard a string of shouts 'ski, ski, SKI!!!!!!' And when I looked up felt a clunk and tear just as a lone alpine ski tore across my nephews snowboard and then over my skis. It shot down into the driveway and a passerby handed it back up to us. While inspecting my skis and the offending rogue ski I noticed the brakes didn't work, and had actually been bent back - they were bent on top of the ski itself. A dude / bro / guy eventually booted over with a matching ski in hand and asked if we were ok and his buddies were all like 'dude, that could have killed someone!' I pointed out the brake and they suggested he bend it back before skiing anymore and were all like 'WTF man!'

I've never lost a tele ski, but I have now seen several alpine skis go sailing off from their owners.


Anyway. Got a nice knick taken out of my ski. Sort of pissed initially but glad no one got hurt.

I see a lot of runaway skis, and even more so boards at the mtn I work for, mostly coz it's a small beginner focused place - you get a loooot of people booting it down the trails with boards and skis in hand.
