Throne Traverse Construction Project

People used to ski the whole mountain,bumps,groomers,trees.Now it's only powder...if you want to save your southback pow,build a huge park,tables ,rails,ect........this entire site is geared to telling people where that powder is.fortunately there is tons of the stuff it just gets a little further away

Next they will putt a pole at the top of Hamburger and winch groom the bowl , no more pesky bumps.

Another irony is that the park service has really been digging their heels in and threatening to close the back traverse behind the Throne to the King. .... Increased traffic to the South will create more heat on that stove.

Wise words there!
Don't for a minute think the NPS have given up on their desire to close access to the SB via the Throne traverse........Now that may not be important to all you BC TAYers who only ski Crystal 12 days a year and prefer the BC anyway... but to us lift sluts it's a really important issue.
This is the LIFT SKIING SECTION so  to those that keep telling us that its not important and we should all be touring in the BC rather than getting our knickers twisted over silly ski area issues , spare me your proselytizing regarding how there is so much good pow in the BC. We know that as well.

Well said brother.

Who was it in the Garmont Adrenalines, Older K2s and Freerides who clicked out and then walked all the way from the offload ramp to the saddle on Saturday?

Was that "earning his turns"?

Thanks, it just gets so old when you re trying to have a discussion about lift skiing issues in the lift skiing section and all you get is some people using it to tell you how" superior" they feel because they think lift skiing is somehow selling out or something and we should all be in the BC being "soulful" and "earning our turns". I like to do both, sometimes both on the same day. I certainly don't feel superior to those that ONLY lift ski or ONLY tour but obviously some on this site do.
Just like the TGR website that the some TAY'ers are always deriding, this website has it's own prejudices and dogma and idiot quota.

We should start pointing out that the often awful skiing technique demonstrated in the BC TRs would probably be corrected with several seasons of hard lift skiing.
