Don't get caught in Silverton Mt.'s Smokescreen for the BLM

[DES]

I agree with the lack of professional management up there. It's too bad because the terrain is sick, but it has a way gaper attitude; i.e. kinda gay. Either which way, I'm still gonna boot-pack for a free day. That's one of the only ways it's worth it to ski there, unless droppin hundred+ bones is nothin to ya.

Snowfarmers! I've heard more bad than good about silverton. We got yelled at for making turns to far apart and taking up to much room. Sorry! Paid 100 bucks for someone to tell me how they wanted me to ski. Gotta conserve the powder for everyone! Go to hell. I'll hike the BC for free and ride wherever I want (as long as avy conditions permit).

That is the best online name I have ever seen or could even imagine.

Just remember: Earn your Turns! If you guys wanna ski close to Silverton mtn and not pay a dime give me a shout.

I'll keep this going full circle. This post has been getting a lot of play at this forum.

I was there and my guide was Aaron Brill himself, we were with
some VIP's, plus his wife showed up later. Aaron's ego was trying
to impress us, but he failed. He's a mediocre snowboarder at best,
even though he tried to dazzel us. His wife did nothing but bitch about the
Aspen guy who didn't want them tresspassing onto his property. Not
something we wanted to here. After the day was over we all agreed
that this operation will get some people killed in avalanches, the bro-bra extremo attitude we experienced was a joke.
Maybe it will go back to the way it was before these out-o-state folks
showed up and made so much trouble.

and if you look at the pictures posted by the OP, you can see that he is wrong, the closure is pretty clear.

It's pretty clear now..but who can say that's what it looked like at the time of the incident? I'm not saying I think they're fibbing (though it wouldn't suprise me) but you have to consider that there's potentially a lot of business at stake for the mountain with the court case and even just with this chatter within their target consumer group.

Its funny that Aaron replied to TGR. I e-mailed their general mail box and asked for their take. Obviously he does not think the Buzz rates. Or he knows that the hard core find his mountain a little soft. I'll stick to Sleds and Snow shoes... and Snowmass.
