    FINALLY bought a new mountain bike

    There’s something very raw and very real about a good hardtail. More fun than a full squish in my opinion. How are you like the 29” set up?

    Gore 12/9/18

    Looks like the snowmaking upgrades are paying off. Gore rarely has this much terrain open early.

    Magic Mountain - 3/8/18

    No pictures. My pockets filled up with snow the first run so I ditched my phone. Unreal conditions here today. So much so that I felt the need to post here after a 1-2 year hiatus. Mountain is saying 24”, easily 30” + up top. 4-5’ drifts. Lift line and it’s glades were the runs of the day...

    small suv good in snow

    I can't say enough about my Tundra's snow performance, best vehicle I've ever had in the snow. Maybe a newer Tacoma with a cap is just as capable. I haven't driven a newer one in the snow yet. Pretty expensive for a small truck though. Sent from my Classic using Tapatalk

    Ski Areas with Best Value Proposition

    I'm a total homer on this, but Gore gives a great value for what you can get their tickets/passes for. If you don't ski enough to buy a pass then the Empire card shaves off something like 15$ off the window. For me, the 20 something pass is a no brainer. Gore, Iceface and Belleayre unrestricted...

    2016-2017 Injury List

    Alleged carpal tunnel. Had surgery 3 months ago and has only gotten worse. Can hardly tie my shoes, grip etc. Looks like I'll have to ask strangers in the lodge to buckle my ski boots and hockey tape my ski pole to my hand..

    Choosing the Right Ski

    I try to narrow it down on internet research, specifically Alpine Zone, and local shop talk. I bought my old Atomic Theories without demoing and had great luck. However I demoed the Soul 7 as a powder ski before buying. I'm close to pulling the trigger on the Brahmas without demoing. I've heard...

    That whole mountain is a blast. I remember several good runs under 11. Hoping for some fresh snow this year. It seems like late Feb is a little too warm.

    Crazy signs at ski areas

    Yes you make a good point with no groomed way out. I skied it with no snow and had a blast. Got to see the Bonzai races from the chair too. We ended up lapping it half a dozen times. Very fun slope.

    I thought this was a little extreme. It's on the chair to a run called "The Wall" at Kirkwood.
