I had a great time at the Friday night event. Hat’s off the the organizers and sponsors :rock: Next time (fingers crossed) I’ll be sure to pay attention to the dates so I can make it to more of the events and tours :banghead:

Hell yeah Dan :headbang:

I’ve been in a weird funk, too. Between last year’s shitty snowpack, a lack of partners, and a neck injury that pooped on my spring and summer, I’ve gotten fat and it’s totally killed my drive and confidence. I’m heeled up now and in the process of re-stoking the fire myself, so this TR is pretty motivating for me at the…[Read more]

My season ended mid March last season because I broke my spine in 3 places.

Ouch. I unfortunately can relate. I tore two cervical discs (c1 + c3) back in March and have had a pretty rough recovery until recently. I still managed a hut trip in April (thanks to the drugs) and one split outing in early June, but I paid for it…[Read more]

I haven’t had a pass in 8 years but I started mixing a couple resort days into my last few seasons and have had a ton of fun lapping chairs on pow days. I’m likely buying a pass at Brighton this year (as soon as my wife forgets about the new mountain bike I just purchased ).

I’m a weekend warrior and feel like my skills have suffered a…[Read more]

In case anyone’s curious how this one’s holding up. Lots of rocks to deal with in lower portion but better than anticipated.

$295 :doobie:
There were lots of cool one off topsheets and shapes. $20 T6 shovels, $15 telepro shovels. I’d head down there if you’re curious.

What’s the story here? I want to buy gear and these guys are basically putting me off it.

That’s a good question. I emailed a small local splitboard manufacturer twice and got no response. I literally told them that I had a $1000 burning a hole in my pocket, liked buying local, and asked if their product would be available for…[Read more]

Do any of you Coloradans know if the road above Ashcroft is melted out a ways? I’m heading out for my annual Taggert-Friends hut trip on Thursday and I’m considering bringing a bicycle in case the road is melted out for more than a couple miles (stashing the bike somewhere at snowline). Maybe it’s not worth it?

Also, if any of…

Nope, not me, but thanks for that link.

Too far out, man

any beta on mountains in the four corners area? looks like they are going to get some pretty serious snow.

It looks like the LaSals and Abajos are at 84% SWE and 94% SWE, respectively. The following link is were I got these numbers from. Select “percent average” at the top of the map. Also, the data are loading really slowly…[Read more]

Yes the bindings are still available and I’m in SLC (Avenues). I’ll try to get some pictures up later today (camera batteries are charging) and you’re more than welcome to come have a look at them. I’ll send my contact info via a pm.

A spur of the moment trip to Jackson last spring with a new rockered resort setup has re-inspired me to focus on having fun rather than touring efficiency, but I will likely still spend some time in my Scarpa/Dynafit/Voile combo depending on conditions and objectives. It’s just that I don’t have any other pieces of gear to sell that are really…[Read more]

Bump for new price and splitboard swap donation pledge of 10% of agreed sale price.

Yeah it’s the split binding. I’m not familiar with the carving world and had never heard of the “other” Sidewinder. I’ll update the ad.

I was up at Alta from about noon ’till 2ish. Coverage on the reliable early season east facers can be ridden without hitting too many objects.

However, this stoney forbidden fruit wasn’t quite ripe enough yet. Oh well. Luckily my buddy and I are masochists.

Here’s one in SLC.

60 to 80 grand a year would be pretty rich in my opinion!

I agree. This position is advertised as a level III but I’m about 99% sure they’re looking to hire someone as a level I. That means starting out at around 40K to 45K. I’m not sure why they list these jobs this way. It is a bit misleading.

I think this would be a great…[Read more]
