11-2010 Alpental Chair 2 - National Monument or ?

Where is the "OFF " button?

That is a ridiculous question as you are here reading this thread.
Wearing a spoon on my nose,
BTM

I guess it would be appropriate to mention that chair 2 at Alpental is named The Edelwiess Double.
In case you didn't know.
Evaluating it,

Pardon me, thought this was the trip report section. I fail to see any indication of a trip report, date, conditions, hmm a photo would be nice too.

Yeah ah, sorry about that Haggis,
HERE IS THE TRIP REPORT,
Today 12-26-2010 Planet earth, west coast, Billy The Mountain,;: 12:10 PM...raining frogs and serpents heavily, flying bathtubs ARE possible.
Flying shards of glass and oil are likely. Stones will be found in pockets of those involved and the pockets of those folks with more then 50 dollars shall be redeemed at "mountain church 7".
Dense aluminum clouds will engulf all local volcanoes and unfortunately, the ground will be shifting dramatically over the next 24 hours stretching an already over-stretched lift type rig. Snow conditions are as follows, brown, green and red snows will prevail along with large boulders that seem to be coming out of the sky in L. A. today.
With all the "respect" I can muster,
BillyTheMountain

I'll have two of whatever he's having, thanks.

I may have had too much, one sentence was starting to make sense

I like it. Especially since I figured out who BTM was. I say keep it coming!

Wow. Did you take the advise from my post above or have you been taken over by Extraterrestrials?

This thread never fails to deliver. Best thread on TAY, easily.


Snow doesn't know it's blowing. -Schluctism

I may have had too much, one sentence was starting to make sense

Step away from the internet...

OK,
BillyTheMountain is telling you that, its time to go on to the next level in our transformation here in this thread.

OK, "we" have been through enough that it is time to move upward and understand our orientation in terms of the mountains, chair 2 at Alpental and our RELATIONSHIP with them/it.
This is my declaration.
Deeper also in terms of deep snows. Deep snow is our our allegory. The BIG snows and our RELATIONSHIP with them represent our toil and our dreams, our passions and time and devotion. It also teaches us about ourselves, and our ups and downs!
Both in this world, and the world that is "the alpine" or  the BC which I see as a place that has special powers.
"If you could only close your eyes you could see." TML
Stay tuned as I have some special pictures that will blow open the new way of Schluct and will turn the "Schluctism" down-over inside-out.
Feel free to do THAT yourself.
Onward and upward?
BillyTheMountain

You got it.....but then you lost it because you began to think in terms of measurement and assumption and analysis.
Every chair wants to speak for itself and no clear consensus emerges.
Here you get the clear message and even perfectly describe it.

at least I think that is what I remember happening.
Here you become mind-controlled chattel and you blow it.

Yes, exactly!
mind controlled chattel.
 
…been blowing it ever since.
I will probably continue to blow it.
Now I blow with the knowledge that I could do so much better. 
The wonder and beauty of my potential;
the tiny buddha at my feet.

Western man wants to be stimulated and comforted by clear concise numbers and evidence.

Numbers, and by their virtue: evidence, endure.
I find comfort in that.
Perhaps eastern men also find comfort in numbers.  Perhaps it is that we haven’t learned how to hold that 6 is 6 and that it is also 8 and 0.

QUESTION: Is your descent down a beautiful powder slope science, or a song?

It is the song of my soul.
With one foul note,
science emerges and claims my vessel once again for the Earth.

OK, "we" have been through enough that it is time to move upward and understand our orientation in terms of the mountains, chair 2 at Alpental and our RELATIONSHIP with them/it.

Edelweiss Chair;
for us,
all so temporary.

Onward and upward?

Inward and downward?

The horizon is a projection.
The Schuluct and the self.

Inverted, it is only the self and the Schuluct.

If we bend the mind does the self yield?
If the self yields, does the Schuluct fill the void in reciprocity?
This cannot be.
The mind does not influence the Schuluct
Schuluct influences mind.

When the self yields
the omnipresence of Schuluct is revealed.

Uh oh: it's in the water supply.

Uh oh: it's in the water supply.

This is the most SIGNIFICANT and INSIGHTFUL statement I have ever seen on this thread.
Should I elaborate, I don't think so, listen, if you haven't got it yet you probably won't.
Happy snow-pack,
BillyTheMountain

Dear SNOWBELL,
PLEASE tell me,
Who the H**L are ya?
NO wait, PLEASE don't!

One thing is, I know, that you know who I am. But I don't know who you are!!! This is VERY COOL!!! Even slightly amusing!
SCHLUCT is spelled SCHLUCT.
SCHLUCT is the, ... ...manifestation of our (Alpental) dream. Yes.
It is not me.
Me is you, and you are me, do ya see?
TY Snow Bell for making life interesting.

I continue to blow but you know...

We will have troubles singing the song in our heart;
the pitch may waver
the tone fall flat
but that the song comes from the heart-
THAT is the important part.

Mister Kante? Did you know that Kante the ski run, USED to include what is now roped off? I guess it is time to show THAT part of the map.
CHAIR 2 area I mean.
You can see that part of the map and some of my really far out music here:

While I shuffle around the stump/cave here and post a picture of the map, of the Edelwiess area.

yes, please and TY,
Mister Weezer, (I hope you are feeling better)

I agree 100% with your scatological statement (and participation in this thread) but I have one question.
Please help me and tell us, what do you mean by the word free?
Looking at whatever is above my head,
BTM

Snow holds us together but can separate us QUICKLY. - Schluctism

You guys put a whole new meaning to "Trip Reports"  ;D

Here is the map (section) that shows Kante as it was originally INCLUDED within the ski area boundary.

Look closely at the map and you can see for yourself that the original red line marking the run has been covered with paint (you can still see the red line). Notice also how the LOCATION of the name "Kante" itself still sits in the original position revealing that "Kante" at Alpental has been shrunk down and altered, only at the top of the run.
You can also see that the NEW red line connecting Kante was not done by Dee Molenaar as the line is not the same as the others. Its fatter and shaky. The whole alteration on the map looks like it must have been done by an amateur and NOT the original artist.
I have a feeling the Alpental "honeymoon accident" (and death) MAY have had something to do with CLOSING the original run, "Kante" but I am NOT SURE what happened or WHY Kante was altered.
This "closed" area of Kante is also referred to as, Kite Bowl as this is where the folks back in the 70's used to "take-off" with their early rigid hang-gliders. That was the days of the hotdog skier, bright yellow ski gear with wide contrasting stripes and bump experts. Those early ski seasons were the time for our NW ski pioneer's to conduct crazy gear experimentation because there were fewer restrictions, and a guy named Jeff Jobe.

Billy you bozo!
You should tell unsuspecting folks that they should NOT go into KITEBOWL! Just don't do it! There is NO ESCAPE. It is a certain death zone so don't go there. And certainly don't go there on my say, that would be your first mistake, if you made any more mistakes down in KITEBOWL, you could fall off of shot 1,2, or 3, neither of any one of these will be ANY good for any of you.
I am just attempting to present a certain historical detail of Alpental, based on the map.

See the video version of this section of the map here:


261 = I can dream can't I? - Spud Crudski and Jones Atterberry

This map of Alpental Ski Area is posted at the top of chair 2. I think it is there to keep the wind out of the building as no person ever stops here long enough to study this amateur and unfortunate map, unless they are stashing beers.
Notice that the SKI AREA BOUNDARY is much larger then the ski area normal operating size. Look at the LEFT border of the main map, it includes lower shot 8! So where is the ACTUAL SKI AREA BOUNDARY and why is it so ambiguous changing from map to map?
So did "Alpental At The Summit" have this map created by the groomers between shifts, or what?
Also, it may be time to look at the TWO PENTAGRAMS that the "The Summit" uses for its logo. You can see them on this "map".
As if THAT wasn't enough... ...notice that the ALPENTAL name has the word PENTA "hidden" in it!

Snow will reflect man as he truly is. - Schluctism

While Studebaker Hoch may be of little impact, hopefully Ethel and 'Quentin Robert DeNameland will clarify your role here.

If you look hard enough you can find conspiracy or something wrong in anything.
Step back to take it all in, you might see something else altogether.
