Glad your finding some stashes and making some slashes! In my 7 year stint out east, I had a whooping ONE epic powder day (albeit that one day was on my top 5 pow days at a resort every). And thats ONE big reason I said F the east coast for riding… altho in all honestly, its not as bad as everyone thinks. I managed to have a couple aight days…[Read more]

Sweet pics and love what you’re doing out there! Curious, who funded this and how’s the results been?

Awesome!

I saw on the map that there are 3 tow up trails, what did you think of these area’s?
Are there a lot of other area’s there that you can perhaps cut your own tow up trail?
Does anyone do any avalanche control in this areas? Have you been up there lately and seen any recent slides? I honestly don’t see too many avalanche observations or…[Read more]

BCA seems to have some “ethically” priced packs. Round $700 new and im sure you can find a discount on them if you wait around. They have 10/11 Float 30s (their mid size) demo’s for $500 right now as a matter of fact. Check the garage sale section on their website.

Thanks RMS. Bookmarked!

I use http://www.snow-forecast.com/ too as it has a little bit more color on time of day, altitude, and consolidates wind direction. Very similar to the one without a dash in the middle but presented in a different format…I don’t have the full version though and Im very new to this stuff too so Im still trying to…[Read more]

Sent you a msg. Also, there is CO Front Range thread here but it doesn’t seem too active honestly…

Im all into “sustainable” manufacturing, corporate social responsibility, and consumer knowledge (we really do vote more with our $’s than in political ballots) but lets not be naive here. I mean skins are by n large made of petroleum based products, primarily plastic and glue. Just cuz someone assembled it in the US doesn’t make that much better…[Read more]
