  1. https://www.timberlinelodge.com/mountain/season-passes Yep, it's true. $199 for over 2 months of spring riding. Current base is 136". Spring session anyone?
  2. That's Marks' new functional spoiler design. It keeps the rear end stable at high speeds.
  3. Maybe we are looking at it the wrong way. For years I've been wearing bright colored jackets, so people can see and avoid me. This doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's "target fixation theory", if you look at an object you will hit it. When riding trees, or mountain biking, look for the space, don't look at the trees. Maybe people are so in awe of us that that they fixate on our awesome skills, and hit us. Maybe wearing white, top to bottom, and blending in is the answer. I have less close calls when it's snowing so hard I can barely see.
  4. https://anthonylakes.com/event/veterans-appreciation-day-2/ I'm not a veteran, but thought I'd share because this is pretty cool. I'll be there 2/22-2/24 anyways. They have primo grooming, and 3 days of riding will cost $130.00.
  5. Groomed runs are kind of limited at Crystal. If you hit it on a powder day, forget the groomers. Queens Chair, Quicksilver and Green Valley will have the most consistent carving runs.
  6. I assumed incorrectly that he had a binding bridge. I'd worked in a repair shop and though it was a standard piece of equipment.
  7. I took one in for a stone grind and he used indelible ink to mark where the bindings went. He told me he always used an ink pen. I asked if he had ever heard of tape. I had strong words with him.
  8. Not enough snow, too much snow, too much wind, too much ice, more too much wind. Wake me up when spring gets here. Good thing I didn't go this week, I would have missed the rain showers inside my living room.
  9. The Fast Stik spring wax is pretty amazing too. Much softer stick, so it uses up faster, but worth it to keep in your pocket when the temps are above average.

    Epic -vs- Ikon

    I'm a fan of the Indy Pass: https://www.indyskipass.com/ Support local ski areas. Less crowds, less attitude, less money, more parking.
  11. In a case like this, when nobody seems to have an answer, I look to the spirit world. So, I lit some incense, held a séance and consulted the all knowing Ouija Board. The response was "two weeks". For what it's worth.
  12. Okay, decision made, now I have to buy your book.
  13. We have the 450SL, but it's a 1979. Probably a little different these days. Hardtop is not retractable and takes two people to lift it off.
  14. No carving here, or snowboarding. But a pretty cool video and concept.
