Seriously, we’re not just trying to freak you out with these avalanche videos … this one is a whopper and illustrates the sheer stupidity of “high-marking.”

April 10th, 2009 at 6:16 am

lovely accent. New Jersey?
April 10th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Dude are guys serious? 7 Springs and Big Boulder have the same level riding. Big Boulder’s elevation is higher. You are both retards for talking shit. PS Hope your joking about an avalanche at either one of those resorts.
April 10th, 2009 at 8:59 am
you must not ride out west.
April 10th, 2009 at 9:16 am
sarcasm not recieved
April 10th, 2009 at 9:34 am
Defs canada eh, mid west eh… alberta eh… thats what i think eh
April 10th, 2009 at 10:26 am
The fluidity is what scares me the most. Absolutely intense.
April 10th, 2009 at 11:12 am
Ok high Schoolers…7 springs elevation at summit (2,995ft)…summit elevation at Boulder maybe 2500ft…same shitty vertical…got Blue Mt or Blue Knob for real vertical….
First off, 7Springs has the best superpipe from here to Stratton, and that is a fact. Springs’ jump line @ The Spot this year was better than last years Boulder Park….
Whatever, why am i wasting my time…&springs annually gets a two-week period of non-stop lake effect snow…accumulating up to 15 inches per week…Poconos are lucky if they get a good dump once a year anymore…
ive found powder stashes on the west side of Springs that was thigh-deep..that never happens in the poconos…ever
As far as riding skill goes…the little groms of the Lehigh Valley are definitely better than the slednecks of western PA…plain and simple
LETS GO PENZ>>>FUCK THE FLYERS
April 10th, 2009 at 11:26 am
you asked yourself a good question early into this
why are you wasting your time?? i mean you know no one’s gonna actually take what you’ve said to heart, no one’s really gonna even think twice about what you just wrote i guess it just feels good to get that off your chest
GO DEVILS FUCK THE PENGUINS AND FUCK THE FLYERS
April 10th, 2009 at 11:58 am
That was ridiculous, such a large avalanche. Yeah “high-marking” seems pretty stupid to me too.
April 10th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
WHere is the video?
April 10th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
haha kid in the background beakin
April 10th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Fuck all you. Snowbird would prob murder your pussy little legs. Fucking east cost bitches.
April 10th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
people on snowmobiles tend to be the most dangerous people in the backcountry. a lot of them are people who are just into things with motors and have little to no avalanche knowledge. while this might be the case with many snowboarders as well, when you add the ability to roop up a mountain and about 500 lbs, the problem is greatly compounded. plus, crossing high marks when riding sucks ass.
April 10th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Saw this video on the national news last week. Happened in Valemount BC.
April 10th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
HIGH MARKING???
April 10th, 2009 at 8:05 pm
shits gnar
April 10th, 2009 at 8:25 pm

April 10th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
stfu bout boulder n springs thier both a joke n a half of a resort
April 10th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Ok, nobody gets to talk about their resort on here besides WELCH VILLAGE. with a vertical rise 360 feet we have the most powder from loon to bear. We have more secret spots any other resort combined. Dont even get me started on the park and the shoggies.
FUCK ALL OTHER TEAMS>WILD DOMINATE
April 10th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
Your welcome. I hope you enjoy your time on this American website on the internet (which was also invented in the states, along with pretty much everything else). Shut up you’ll always be our hat.
April 11th, 2009 at 7:36 am
I’m not going to lie i was going to leave a comment about the “high marking”? lol but i’ll have to point out that these wars on the comment walls are just utterly stupid. do you think anyone cares? we’re just here to look at the video not listen to some loser who has nothing else to do but make him self feel better by arguing. coming from a guy who has to ride hills that are 300 vertical ft im pretty sure boulder or springs would be a dream to ride. just enjoy snowboarding. oh by the way don’t bother replying because im not going to look at this agian
April 11th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
I’m not sure if this comment was written for the sole purpose of being inflammatory, but if not, then you, sir, are a huge tard. He was lucky as all hell to come out of that alive, and the weight of a sled compared to the weight of a human is ten times as likely to set off a slide.
April 11th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Whoever wrote the caption for this video obviously has never ridden in the back country. “the sheer stupidity of high marking” Seriously how do you think pro riders get to all these sick zones out in the middle of nowhere in whistler. Please dont hate on sleds because you dont have one and never have explored in the back country.
April 11th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
TRUF
April 11th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
fish,
most pro’s don’t get to spots by highmarking dangerous slopes. Most zones in Whistler and every other sled meca are relatively safe to travel through(with exceptions) and don’t require being an idiot to get to features
The stupidity lies in the fact that this is the worst snowpack on record for BC. Every pro is treading lightly out there….
April 11th, 2009 at 10:05 pm
Fuck yeah, you should feel blessed to get sneezed on by god’s country in the first place
April 11th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
I heard you pee sitting down
April 12th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
for the record i got nothing against the states, but its arrogant comments like that, that make the rest of the world hate you. Gods country?! who the fuck do you think you are.
April 12th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
hey screw you man, real original, you’re one of the hundreds of other people who think they’re awesome trying to be me. well guess what…only one Pete Wast in the world and no one will be like me.
April 12th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
mcintyre nh is where its at… the booter and the down rail awesome
April 12th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
High marking is dangerous.. if you want to do then good luck…
i don’t snowboard around high markers for a good reason…..
you people fighting on here should get together somewhere else!!!
there is a good reason why there is NO TransWorld Hockey….
Thank God !
April 12th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
this is the longest reply to one comment i have ever seen…
April 12th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
and that was in no-offense to barack obama, if thats who you are trying to portray yourself as.
April 12th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
agreed
April 12th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
I heard you liek mudkipz.
April 12th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
Heard you were gonna take it over this year but got lost and ended up in Peru glad you have set aside some time to plan to find out where the fuck Canada is before the next take-over plot, ide say bring a map next time but you prob hold it upsidedown anyway and wonder how Mexico is so far north but warm all year round…
April 12th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
they sound super Canadian
April 13th, 2009 at 9:41 am
i can’t believe you pussies are talking about avalanceh danger on the east coast. . .grow up and take one on in utah or tahoe. . .the veritcal footage out there is bigger than your entire mountain; not to mention 400+ inches of snow
April 13th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
i wrote the headline and high marking is stupid. If you had the ability to comprehend what you read, you wouldn’t be confused about what is presented in this short video. there is no “hate” toward snowmobiles. High marking for kicks in avalanche territory is asking to die—and risks hurting others who are in the area. Your knowledge of the backcountry must come from video games and message boards.

GO BOLTON VALLEY!!!
April 13th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
jaypeak you idiot
April 14th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
i live in NY, devils and rangers are my favorite hockey teams but the devils are much better this year
mountain creek is run by idiots…unfortunately it’s the best park for 2 and a half hours worth of driving…if you go to MC to just ride and not do anything in the park then you might be retarded
do i want to match that? no, cause i could careless about riding in a pipe…im not gonna retune my board so i can make a 10 second run
and snowbird bitch…you really don’t know jack shit do you? just shutup, you embarass the west coast cause everyone knows that the east coast produces dope riders who arent afraid of anything on the west coast
April 14th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
i live in the states and im with you on that one
gods country would be somewhere in the mideast or africa anyway, since those are the origins of modern humans
April 14th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
It doesnt matter what other countries think of us, we will always be number 1. You can say our economy sucks but we still run this planet.
April 16th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
sounds like a bunch of canucks up there sleding eh
April 17th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
every resort in colorado gets at least 350+ snowfall anually. NOw talk pussies. Fuckin ice coast.
