Middle Cannon introduced me to not only natural terrain, but double and triple fall-lines.

A devastating loss. When I got laid off in November, I moved to Taos and killed it everyday. I did this largely because of Shane. Him and Seth Morrison saved skiing.

I will leave this here for 12 hours... believe me this is one of those reasons you'd watch gear swap. I waited four months for my BROs, now they're here with Naxos, and I'm broke.... What a ski,...

They are stiffs... but closer to the new softs

Yes.. the Naxos are medium and mounted at 325mm.

These BROs were skied once @ Moonlight Basin, MT. I personally don't want to part with these skis but need to stop the IRS garnishment that is ruining my life for the last few months. What you are...

Are there a lot of peope from Prog in Chimonee?

Great TR

I was up at Cannon on Saturday when I found out some very sad news. Kirk Bryant, a friend, and tram operator for as long as I can remember (he'd been working there since 1979) commit suicide last...

Cannon's reporting 15" as of 3:44pm and it's still dumping!

I went last year, primarily to see Radiohead, which was fucking completely incredible. I like the look of this years lineup, but don't think it warrants the 1200 mile drive to get there. I'm sure...

It's not unreasonable to head over to Murren/Wengen for a weekend. Get a room for the night (Hotel Alpina in Murren is great and reasonably priced, not to mention the 2000 foot cliff behind the...

I'm tempted to hit up MRG this weekend. It's just so much fun after a big dump. And I need to get up there at least once before they replace the old single with a new single. Damn, I love that...

Heading up to Cannon on Friday. Mittersill should be nice.

The East Coast is going off!

Do they still require you to register with the ski patrol and bring a beacon, shovel and probe when skiing Toll House??? They should just close that gnar shit down, it slides too often.;)

Another Herzog film: Grizzly Man. For those that haven't seen it, Tim Treadwell, the films main character, was a very peculiar individual. Some think he was a maniac, others an eccentric, others a...

I agree with you Bossass. When I first heard about the Reactor binding, I got pretty excited because it seemed to make a lot of sense. Unfortunately, as you said, the manufacturing was poor and...

CONSPIRACY THEORY: K2, which owns Marker, bought Line last year only to gain access to their "incredible" Reactor binding system! ;)

At this very moment, the best engineers from the Line Reactor...

I've thought about this question a lot and it's very subjective. Personally, in the US, the best ski town IMHO is Crested Butte. The town itself has a great, authentic feel to it, and is really...

I've been using Macs for five years now with both an iMac and a Powerbook and have found it to be nothing but stable and have had zero problems. That being said, no manufacturer is infallible, so...

Thanks for the review. I should have mine next week. It looks like a decent addition to the quiver.

Paypal sent.

marbles.....

I love those snow ghosts!

Thanks for the review of the Bacon. I bought them as a quiver ski (at the Porters sale over the weekend), so it sounds like they should work out well. Overall, great reviews!

Some people center mount them, but Line reccomends mounting them 2.5 cms to the rear of center.

Apparently the Superstar Quad at Killington (which was the first production YAN high speed quad) was such a headache that they needed a maintainance employee at the lift at all time. Parts of the...

Radiohead - OK Computer:

I can hardly put into words how incredible this sweeping, epic album is. I've probably listened to it 2000 times over the past ten years and it still hasn't gotten old....

My deepest condolences. I can't begin to envision your pain. I'm so sorry.

My deepest condolences. I can't begin to envision your pain. I'm so sorry.

Are you sure the lifts weren't built by YAN Lift Engineering??? :)

wood......

Hmmm... I'm all for wildlife. But I have to doubt that a slight increase in a lifts uphill capacity will result in some sort mass exodous of bighorn sheep from northwest Wyoming. Some environmental...

Looking to buy a beacon. Any help appreciated saving some money. PM me. Thanks!

After finishing my smoke, I stepped back into the suite and out of the cold Pacific maritime air. Kirsten had emerged from the shower and we began to discuss what it was that we should do first. ...

After our snack we had approximately one hour to waste before meeting Jesse. We went into a Barnes and Nobles booksellers that was located inside of the mall. I browsed at various books for a...

Just airing out old shit... if you don't like the stench... then leave.

(This would have been included consecutively had it not been for the 10K rl)

(Circa 2001) As I scrolled down with the mouse on the web page, it seemed as if I was hoping for a miracle. The...

Guru of K-Mart
Highwaystar presides proudly
In his snowless land

His grand festival
Maligned by icy frozen grass
Sparsely attended

not on the east coast

It was Jetblue. They don't have first class. I was a bit surprised he was flighing an economy carrier, also, considering he had just filmed "The Surreal Life" for VH1.

I agree about Dean. I met him about 4-5 years ago at the MSP premiere for High Society. Probably the nicest athlete there (although Seth was cool too).

As far as "celebrity" encounters. I was...

Good fixed grip chairs ascend a steep face and can chew up a lot of vertical while generally servicing good terrain.

Bad fixed grip chairs are the long ones that service run-outs and flatter...

FKNA and Juggernaut.

I agree, it's agonizing. Being a skier in New England can be a painful endeavor. I wish every winter could be like 2000/2001, when we didn't have a freeze/thaw cycle until February. Unfortunately...

Radiohead - Bonnaroo 2006: Had seen them several times before, but decided to make the 1150 mile jaunt from NH to TN and wasn't disappointed. The crowd had amazing energy for a festival and the...

I don't know if it's too late to get in on this... but if it's not.
