PW7 & HA some of the best shots (photos and face) I've ever seen from there - great work!

After graduating high school in New England I moved to Colorado to ski "real" mountains. I found a job and great place to live a couple of blocks from the lifts. I had good fiends to ski with and I...

Thanks - think upgrading this frame over time, on the cheap, is the right answer for me.

I'm 5'10" 160lbs so dropping weight, while possible, isn't easy or fun.
More riding is also possible but...

Thanks - this is what I'm looking for. Internet search led me to a company called Neuvation which has a nice looking set of light wheels for $250. While Neuvations get mixed reviews it's probably...

Thanks but trust me - even though I've been riding for 7 years - I'm a dope when it comes to this sport. I've skied all my life and know what will get me bang for the $$. Cycling on the other hand......

I ride in a coastal section of southern California which has some Cat 2 and plenty of Cat 3&4 climbs. I currently average around 90 miles per week, usually in three 30 mile rides. For every 10 miles...

Has anyone had a segment flagged as "hazardous"?

I recentlly noticed this message on a popular road segment where I ride -

"This segment has been marked as hazardous by someone who has ridden...

I understand - sending someone to jail is a big deal. This case had all of the LA cycling community watching, lots of articles in the local press. Like the driver in this thread's video the guy was a...

fnka there are mags on tgr hating roadies - really?
and some claim to also be roadies but are happy to hit other roadies if provoked?
that's some strange and scary shit.

I get about 4hrs w/ my iPhone4. You can buy a battery extender case like the Mophie Juice pack (something like $60-$80) that claims to double your bettery life (so in my case 8 hours). Haven't tried...

Very cool - this JONG will try to make it.

Looks like Mammoth Hospital needs a surgeon.

I grew up skiing at Magic and haven't seen the place in decades - nice pics.
They used to run a downhill for kids - they still do that?
I remember small jumps being setup and other stuff that made...

sucks being hurt - take it out in rehab.

"Maybe grooming has been taken too far. Nothing like some moguls to slow things down"

Yep... skiing has become too easy - stop grooming. Whenever we get a series of storms when grooming can't keep...

first and foremost vibes to your family and daughter. so glad she wasn't hurt worse.

It was 1975 - I was 17 and scraping to get by as a dishwasher in Aspen. My roomate had a friend who was something like 25, come out for a 2 week vacation. Day 1 he's out skiing the Highlands with us;...

Haved a pair of 170 Bandit XX (womens) w/ soli demo bindings in the closet.$100 plus shipping.

PM me if you're interested and want pics.

splat - i'm a lurker who ran into you in the liftline at mammoth over memorial day (asked about your bros). i got pointed to tgr/gimps by a maggot buddy after i blew up my knee in 2005. sorry to...

So I blow my knee in 2005. I have a buddy, a mag in Whistler who did the same dumb thing in 2004. He tells me about two places to get info online; some knee board I don't remember and TGR. I went to...

My 3 year (operation) anniversary is May 29.
I went allo and 2nd guessed that for a long time. I now think that choice was fine and think an autograft would have been fine too.

I took a long time...

i bled a bunch from the pain pump too.

Don't know what's left so be quick if interested.

They may have some Mantra's and Katana's...

I blew my knee in Mammy on April 1st 2005 in West (Ebbens) Bowl. I blew the ACL, MCL, crushed the LCLs, shredded about 50% of the meniscus and crushed the tibia crown. 1st serious injury in 40 years...

nice tr hutash - way to respresent.

i've been wondering about snow conditions up there - should be creamy at some point this month.

I'm probably too much of a JONG to answer this thread.

That said - my advice:
get a 12 oz glass
fill with ice and tequilla
drink quickly while reading the steep skiing thread on this forum...

Hutash - good on ya. Nice to hear about King. Very cool that MM has a search dog.

Snowman - thanks for the pics. Heading up tomorrow. Will be interesting (and a drag) to see all of the avi debri....

Very cool to set your dad up with new gear.

I'm 50 this year with a similar background and my daily ski is a 188 Volkl G4. Based on what I've read I'm leaning towards the Bro's.

Your dad has...

We've all experienced the greed. It's like an addictive drug. The high is unf'ing believable. I want more, immediately. After getting first tracks as I wait my turn in the next lift line watching the...

Appears there are a few ahead of me in line - if they fall through I'm interested.

Just got home from a few days of storm skiing at Mammoth.
After watching others it occurs to me that maybe theres a better way.

My current ski is a 188 Volkl G4.
I'm 5'11'', 170lbs, and am an...

Just got back, 395-14 was an easy drive today. Yesterday's storm was a great base layer, something like 9-1. Had a nephew with me who rides in Vermont. I was so happy to show him a Sierra storm day....

Dex - vibes to you. Going through rehab 3 times is heroic - good luck this spring.

I'm 2.5 years post-op, allograft (with other non-op injuries). Haven't visited the gimp board for some time, but figured you (and others) may want to hear from someone who believes the injury is...

Buzz - business travel will suck for a while. When I blew my ACL I had a bi-coastal job that required me to go LA - Boston at least once a month. That wasn't fun, your knee swells on a plane, getting...

I got allo - I'm 100% at 21 mos post-op.

IMHO - people get allo cause docs say recovery will be easier. Perhaps... but if your goal is to be a strong-bad-a$$ again it's gonna take time no matter...
