You can find the advertisement above in the University of Utah campus bookstore. It has clearly been composed to appeal to Utah skiers and snowboarders, including the use of the phrase "The Best Snow on Earth", which is cleverly changed from The Greatest Snow on Earth, which is trademarked by the State of Utah. There is, however, something fundamentally wrong with this ad, at least as far as Utah is concerned. Can you spot it?
Watch out for those crevasses above the White Pine chutes.
ReplyDeleteNot be Utah. I could see some neat summer runs if that were.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen many hanging glaciers in Utah lately.
ReplyDeleteMt Shuksan I believe (peak proper hidden by text)

The white stuff must be plastic -- the S'board leaves no track.
ReplyDeleteAnd the answer is: The photo in the background is of Mt. Shuksan (North Cascades, Washington) - frequently misused in all sorts of marketing materials, but it is a spectacular peak nonetheless. Presumably the boarder is at Mt. Baker, but I agree with Tommy that even that looks fishy.
ReplyDeleteAlso note from his stance and shadow that the sun is at a VERY high angle. He is probably boarding Mt. Photoshop.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen many glaciers in Utah, i think this must be some where in Washington.
