The "Seattle Skintrack" on Table Mountain

I applaud Hop for having the stones to come here and say this.

Are we seriously debating whether or not it's acceptable to call people out for behaviour that is stupid, idiotic, and dangerous?

Would we even be having this discussion if it was about "people who think it's okay to drive through neighbourhoods at a high rate of speed because it was late at night and there was a low probability of an accident"?

People should call each other out more often and loudly. If you don't like being called out by people who know better, then maybe you should A) become one of the people who knows better, or work on making sure that you, and not your ego, is in charge of your life.

Cheers to Cookie Monster, again someone hits the nail on the head!

Well it seems "seattle skintracks" aren't only a problem around Mt. Baker, they are also popping up around Cooke City created by yours truly! Apparently our creation was the talk of the town for the evening!


The insta photo is a bit unfair however as you cant see that the slope has already been farmed, it was exceptionally stable around Cooke, the fall line doesn't send directly off the cliffs, and when looking up from town it is not obvious that there is a good backdoor to this line.

Weirdoes skinning back up the descent route were at it again yesterday. I'll bet the skin track gave them a close up view of the heart shaped box slide path from hours earlier.

I turned my back and skinned in the opposite direction so I didn't have to look at the nonsense. It was a great day in deep snow. Winter is back.

Best advice in this thread so far

I was wondering if you guys noticed that crew zig-zagging up the descent route from where you were. Given how many folks were out I'm surprised they didn't get clobbered by anyone.
