flying over utah to ski oregon instead sounds like the greatest airborne disaster since the hindenberg.

You are correct sir!
The last time I skied utah, the term to best describe the snow was "goggle deep"!!!!!! Bring a neck gator so you don't choke on it!
And Say hi to Erin D. in the Peruvian bar!!!

Please don't get me wrong, UT or ANY mountain skiing is SICK! i rode the icy mole hills of the midwest for 20 years, if the UK is anything like that you will have a great time anywhere that has snow and mountains
i have only ever been to these places mentioned for short periods of time and it sounds like these others lived there, so they would know better
p.s. tahoe was even sick in the rain, i rode all day soaking wet and i was stoked off my ass to have that opportunity
p.s.s. i had three pairs of long underwear and like 15 shirts on riding in CO when the temp didn't go above 0F for the entire week, and the windchill was like -30F. was i stoked? you know it! |

| Yes Jackson is by far the best and snow kiting on Togwotee Pass has been betting more popular. You will need a car too. Definately more expensive than going to Salt Lake, skiing at Snowbird and Alta (the only places that rival JH) and snow kiting wherever it is they kite down there. At least in Jackson the beer is full strength. |

great,
cheers for all the replies and pm's fellas. Just an idea at the moment. we did look at jackson, that might be a possibility.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone from the UK who moved out that way as seattle is one place i would consider re-locating to.
thanks again

easy pal ,
for sure you and many others ARE a menace  at the lake that are learners,it's just the way, 
I was there and so was the Redditerd
Doesn't mean anything there is always a lot of people bitching at the lake
And from your performance there (I do know what your doing in spite of not being there ,I used to live there and have many friends) I would say advise would be welcome from others especially about the hazards of sno-kiting .
Sno kiting is a lot more hazardous than water ,so try to open up and see what's up ,Youll' get more out of it
We camped ten feet from you and you had no idea about us being there But everybody at the lake Knew you were there (doing the Newb thing),
It's cool, nobody cares, it's fun to watch newbies.
Especially ones with no lessons (THINK registerd)
Registerd has a lot snow expierence from climbing ICE and could have helpful advice to you .
The idea of just heading into the unknown with just my wits IS exciting but in the snow as water it could be a trip your not coming back from |

ha ha,
i knew if i screamed out for attention i would get some.
i cant wait for the snow, its my roots man. water isnt my cup'o'joe.
and blowhard, i dont understand why you guys look down on people who are self taught. i literally fly everyday that theres wind and have progressed at great levels. im not saying everyone should do it. but lighten up buuddy. |
