Mt. Sopris October 7th, 2008

Fall is an interesting time of year for the skiers and snowboarders of the world. The snow has disappeared from most of the nearby peaks, save for a few glaciers scattered throughout the landscape. For the most part, the mountain bike rules the Fall season, however there is a strong stirring of sentiment as new snow reports drop in from ski resorts across the world.

October is especially tough for the snow deprived, as daily webcam images of resorts such as Loveland and Arapahoe Basin show the snow-making guns fired up and blowing the base layer for what are unaffectionately known as "white ribbons of death." The ‘maggots’ over at the TGR message boards are all giddy and giggling like schoolgirls as they rant and rave about all things snow-riding. So I bring you, the snow-starved skier, TGR Hot Threads! to help stave off your pre-season jitters.

One particular thread has originated recently from an alias known as Alto. Appropriately titled Fantasy Freeride Venues , it is sure a hot topic amongst the forum participants. Maggots from across the world are each posting a picture of a peak or skiing zone that they would love to rip in front of a set of judges, some spectators and ultimately for final glory on film.
