Been there several years ago, what worked for me was drilling the screw from the inside out and I recall breaking a few drill bits in the process. I may have broken the T-Nut grip from attempting to drill and tap from the exterior so that the screw and nut were spinning so I had to apply pressure from the inside. Replaced all the T-Nuts and screws with M5 x 20mm stainless steel socket cap bolts. Since that experience I stick with stainless heel bolts and always use a wrap of teflon pipe thread tape. Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts and be sure to re-check tightness after your first day of riding.

We were told once you purchase the initial pass in-person you can subsequently renew from out of state only if you do so each and every season. "For those guests who did not have a 2017-2018 Classic Pass, purchases for each passholder must be made in-person at one of our ticket offices beginning October 8 through November 18, 2018." https://www.aspensnowmass.com/plan-your-stay/tickets-and-passes/classic-pass

Nubs last day for the 2017/2018 season is Sunday Apr 8 From Nub's site . . . April 4 Powder Day!!! POWDER DAY! The snowstorm arrived at Nub’s Nob early this morning and has left behind 10″ of fresh snow so far. Expect blown and drifted snow everywhere this morning with a very strong northeast wind. The Nub’s Crew is busy re-grooming some runs and digging out lifts. The frontside will remain covered in powder. Pintail Peak will have a delayed opening as we work to dig out the front and south side first. This is not your typical spring skiing… We plan to run the lifts everyday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through April 8. Nub’s is now on “late season rates” which means an Adult lift ticket is just $40! Package deals and NO CROWDS!! https://www.petoskeyarea.com/winter-fun/spring-ski-packages/

If you can wait, you might be able to pre-order next season's UPZ 12's. Looks like stiffer silver tongues will be standard ?

"People often ask where the name Donek came from. When we began making boards in 1987, a friend was breeding Donek Yugoslavian acrobatic pigeons. These birds dive doing an axial roll and fly faster than a peregrine falcon. Their speed, flight, and freestyle nature made the name Donek an obvious choice."
