    The Moosehead Lounge in the upper part of the chalet at the top of the hill (main chalet) has about 5 comfy chairs with ottomans .... my wife camps out in those when she comes in and I stay on the hill for extra hours...usually always one chair open minimum. They have a small fire place in front of those but its not always on. Wait staff are not at all put off by people camping out for long periods in the Moosehead, they just see it as part of the gig. Really no reason to go anywhere else......

    Thanks for the tip, this sounds perfect!

    There is an alpine slide at Lutsen Mt. in Minnesota. We went there for summer vacation a couple of years in a row when I was about 12-13 and my brother was 8-9. We used to race down the slide ( two tracks next to each other). I vividly remember stopping at the bottom and watching three people get off before my brother did. He took a header on the slide, slid on his face and body and left the track. Even though he showed up at the bottom wimpering and crying I laughed just like a good brother should!

    The headlights don't seem very bright, I might change those out for something better.

    Look into getting a wiring harness and upgraded bulbs for your Forester. Daniel Stern lighting is a great source of information for automotive lighting.

    I have installed harnesses in a couple of my vehicles and it really is a night and day difference with upgraded bulbs.

    I have had one Subaru that I sold with 200k+ to a family member that had an automatic (1990 Legacy Wagon) that I drove for over a 100K that had 0 issues with the automatic. My parents have an 03 Outback that has just over 100K with an automatic ( my mom can't drive a stick) and have also had 0 issues with the trans. I also prefer the stick as you do, but an auto is just fine as long as the maintenance is done. With the 1990 the car literally rusted away after almost 300K miles before any mechanical failure.

  19. Paypal scam?

    I have recently sold a couple of vehicles and found it amazing that the majority of responses from Craiglist and ebay are this type of scam.

    I would recommend halting any communication with this individual.

  21. Prior ATV 171... Disappointing

    in Carving Central

    I have a 176 pow-stick and it is a great board. Floats amazingly well in the pow. The only carving was on two groomer widths midmorning after a 10 inch dump. There are some good videos on youtube of people carving with HB on Powsticks. Suprisingly it carved really well and was fun to transition from the tracked powder to the groomed....rail a carve in the groom and float through the pow. Mine is for sale in the classifieds. Overkill for Minnesota.

    in All-Mountain Hardboot Board Reviews

    I bought a 168 from Teach this season and have to say it is an awesome board. It is very stiff torsionally and carves very well. I am a newbie with my first season on hardboots, previous 17 years on softboots. I started with Catek os2s and really liked the board at real low angles, the last week of the season I picked up some used TD3 SW and increased the angles (still low at 45/35). With the sidewinders everything was much smoother.
