About This Blog
My hope is that this blog becomes an entertaining source for insight and opinion on issues and developments within the ski industry. As I wrote in my first blog post, I’ve come to accept that, as much as I’d like to keep a low profile, my opinion on the industry now holds a little more weight than before.
I will strive to balance coverage with the good, bad and ugly that occurs within the industry, and that will include the colorful characters that ski and snowboard culture produces. But moods change rather frequently and it’s difficult to gauge how I will be feeling when it’s time to hammer the keyboard and opine.
If there is something you’d like me to check out, e-mail me at jeremy (at) jeremyevans.org. Thanks for stopping by.
Just doing some late season ( my ass – boot top freshies on Glacier chair today on a 323 base) on the Sunshine thing… I guess now it will be a no-news item until it grinds through the courts.
here you go

FWD this email to Blackcomb Patrol.
Good fer you guys. 130 Kph winds on 80cm fresh changes things.
I got back to Seventh to hear the news that all alpine lifts (Seventh Heaven, Horstman-T and Glacier Chair ) were Closed because of turkeys breaking Avi closure ropes on Horstman traverse and Blackcomb Glacier.
As If nothing in Jersey Cream had slid…or that Blackcomb Glacier would somehow be a safe travel route.
Unfortunately most people are stupid and therefore most skiers are stupid.
A few of decades of marketing ‘anything, anywhere, anytime’ has changed this sport from people who are skiers to anyone needing some entertainment between wurk and another mediocre dinner out with ambivalent friends.
I just hope you were able to bust a few of those dudes who crossed the line. I hope the whole story gets some room in the next Pique
I hit 60 days today…
Keep up the good work.
