    I emailed Ladia and was told only Coiler is left. Everything else sold. FYI. Use the email address that was posted to reach out. Cheers. 

    From my first email.

    What are the length/width on these boards. Interested in most of them. 

    Coiler: Egyptian cat graphics? Weight range on that? I am 250 on a good day and ride really hard. I know there is a code on the sidewall. """

     

    I have been interested all along. Need specs. I know he has stuff going on. I am patient, but need the info. 

     

     

     

  2. There is a run called Grand that is one of the most epic carving faces ever in creation. So fun. 

    There is good carving on Casper. A little busier. i could get Grand all to myself almost every time. The Aprez Vous side has some pretty fun low angle carving too. But yes. Must have powdery option. Sometimes it gets deep.

    Covid... Just get over it!

    I never seen so much fear mongering...  

    Delete this stupid political post....  I swear people act like this is some zombie plague ..

     

    It's not political for me. I had a good friend die early on. No underlying conditions. Another friend had cancer come back hard two months after 'getting over' two months of Covid 'recovery'. There were few treatment options available because her lungs were covered with a thick mucus. She had one third of her lung removed and is now on oxygen almost full time. Not fear mongering, just what has happened. I don't feel particularly afraid of it at this point and not being political, it is just a reality of this time for us. We got hit hard early and even though death rates are down, infection rates are way up lately. The local hospital is running out of room due to covid admissions. 

    I don't share public spaces with people much at all even before this, but I have always been a little anti-social anyway.

    You can ignore it if you want and we can still be friends. I still hope to make a WTF one of these years.

    Stainless looking Virus? Sold?

    Donek MK. This is the Mad Killer? I like that sexy waist.

    Carbon Fiber looking Virus. Still available?

    Also to say very sorry to hear of the injuries and challenges. Just putting it out there if I buy something and you make a comeback in a year or whenever you are welcome to come ride it anytime. Sun Valley can usually be found some truly deserted runs and I will guard that backside.

    May the healing be strong. 

    I know you are having pm and posting issues so

  5. I renewed my employment offer with Sun Valley and will be teaching again this winter. We led the nation for two weeks in April in per capita infections. A good friend was one of the first to succumb to Covid in this area. His nephew worked for me for a couple of years. RIP Bob. So it's not like we aren't taking it seriously. There are still pockets of adamant mask rejection in the valley. I don't get it. I have still not gone out to a restaurant for a sit down indoor meal of any kind. One meal outside on the deck and the rest is takeout. 

    Some people (a local Dr among them) estimate with known rates of local infection, presumed positives (one family of four got sick, all of them, but only one was tested and shows up in the data) and local infections that got credited to the part-time resident's home state that 20 to 25 percent of the local population has had it. Where that bodes well for locals not being the point of transmission is the theory that nearly everyone has been exposed to very low levels of the virus. Not enough to get sick, but enough to start building antibody resistance. 

    I don't exactly know all of the resorts measures they are adopting, but I am counting on myself to stay safe. I have been working retail at my store since I was able to be open on May 1st. I have between 10 to 30 people a day thru my gallery, and I wear a mask at all times when anyone else is present. My coworker is 72. Her son and his girlfriend both had it fairly early on, before the mask thing was prevalent. They were in extremely close contact. She did not get it. 

    Never did like spending much time in the lodges. Just breaks up my rhythm for riding. Eating during the day? Phhttt. A waste of time. My answer is pocket bacon and my favorite tree pee runs. I have many, due to my general aversion to stopping and going in a lodge 

    The gondola was never my favorite lift either. They have been running it all summer to access the upper mountain for mountain biking. Getting in one with five or more strangers is not going to happen. If you are with your crew, keep the vents open and wear your gator you should be fine. 

    I did renew my locker rental for the season. It just makes sense for me. It's not too busy in there and will likely be less this year. I will wear a mask during the time I am inside. And the way we shut down last year all my stuff is still in there. I hope my edges didn't rust too much. 

    Weather changing patterns are on the way. Very much looking forward to sliding soon.

  6. Twenty inches or so right now. More falling tonight and lots of man made under that. Let me double check sizes on my shells but I am pretty sure these are them. 

    On the fire there are two size ranges - one on the upper cuff and then another down near the heel, can you confirm what they say? Thanks.
