Thank you sir! A rather lame excuse on my part, honestly. This place is strange in so many ways... one of them is that micro-climates are way more significant than I was used to in the Rockies. I'm about 25 miles (as the crow flies) from Girdwood (home of Alyeska resort) which is a...

It's been a thin snow year until this week. 19" last Wednesday and another 10 - 16" tomorrow. Finally enough to bury the rocks, etc. so it's time for a shakedown run... hopefully tomorrow. Finally got around to trimming up the skins today.

I'd *live* in my tent for years before I get one of those damn roof-top tents...

Thanks Eddy! This forum means way too much to me to just lay down on this! I'm gonna fight (somehow)!

Yeah but I like the embiggened version better. After all, I am a jeep enthusiast. 🍺

Might have been what caused the problem in the first place... 🤔

6 years enjoying Wayalife on my lunch hour with no problems, then as of about 4 days ago it's blocked because it's "malware". 🤬

That is a great question... one I've been wondering about too.

Everything that has happened with Twitter was fully anticipated by Musk and his team. None of it is all that unusual from a business perspective, and it's certainly not outside their expectations... or the slightest hindrance to their plans (whatever they are). Newsflash to the Left AND the...

Thank you sir! I hope I installed them right. 😅 Gonna take everything on a shakedown at Arctic Valley in a couple of weeks. Hopefully not too many kinks to work out!

Just full of updates today... Lol. I didn't have a good ski touring pack, so I scored this 30L Orotovox pack on sale. Very happy with it so far. It has lots of backcountry friendly features, including a built in RECCO reflector (have one in my pants too but every little bit helps). No-name...

Got the bindings installed today & managed to not poke any holes all the way through my skis... 😅 Really impressed with these "shift" bindings. They weigh about half what my old Marker bindings did but I don't feel like I'm going to give up much performance, if any. And the versatility is...

Haha! I've done a few bicycle races (criterium) around that town square at 2:45! Proud of Boerne for putting this on!!! 🍺 edit: And damn... never saw a jeep do something like that!

I swear this almost happened to me one time in college...

The skins come sort of one size fits all in terms of width. Just specify the length... They come with what is basically a jumped up letter opener, and instructions on how to trim them to fit your skis. I think some other brands may come with better trimming tools but I haven't heard any...

Lol! Those are the kind of "mistakes" I love. I don't know why the place isn't more famous! I guess it's in the "shadow" of JH & maybe the mountains don't look quite so spectacular from that side... BUT all the weather systems come in from the west, and the Targee side scrapes off 90% of the...

I always wanted to ski in MT! I'm sure conditions are probably identical to WY. I love Red Lodge but never got a chance to ski there. Hope the flooding didn't do too much damage. I really enjoy little "mom & pop" resorts... and my favorite one is a place called Meadowlark, about 20 miles...

Just got these in the mail a bit ago. I'm impressed with how stiff they are... probably around 110 in ski mode but I'm guessing they'll break in and settle around 90 or 100. I'll be happy with 100 even though I'd prefer 120+... but can't have it all.

That's what I expected but it surprised me... It's not consistently wet & heavy. This place is capable of dumping just about any kind of snow in the book, and all within the same week. Maybe it's the low temps but I've been surprised at how good the powder is (when it's powder). Note that...
