Underground parking is... well... whatever so long as it's free. If you have to pay to park anywhere close that doesn't require a shuttle ride, fuck that.

I also don't know how they really expect...

If he never knew Shane that would be one thing, but they were friends so that's kind of a lame reaction.

I've sold 2 cars on Craigslist in the last 5 years, so it can still be pretty useful, but in the process I had to sort through so many scammers and vultures (like offering 10k for a car worth 17-18k)...

It gets more expensive. At least that's what happened last year.

A back-handed compliment is not the same as a compliment, much in the same way that a snowlerblade (or some variation of it) is not the same as a real ski.

Back-handed compliment of the day. :yourock:

Someone needs to create an alias and post a pic of this 100 foot gap jump.

You're going to have to hold out for the 2014 Rax Khaleesi model.

I don't really consider getting my kids health insurance to be all that extravagant, but that's just me not being a shitty father. lol - seriously, what the hell was all of that about?

The best part about a PT Cruiser is they have plenty of room in the back to store your rollerblades.

I said compared to California. It's still dirt cheap in comparison, especially in the 400 - 600k range.

Can someone shed a little light on a comparison between these skis?

I want to get something around 98 - 101mm to add to my quiver, and while I love the Bonafides (which I have several days on...

I had a dream last night where we moved to Bend for some reason. Good skiing for a long season , nice golf courses that are cheap, MTB single track heaven. Cheaper houses than CA by a long shot -...

Tons of multi-cliff lines. Sick. Some big ass drops too. Nice!

This. And trying to one-up the pleasure can be a slippery slope - next he'll end up fucking while trying to eat a really good pastrami sandwich ala George Costanza.

But seriously, if you do it,...

Yeah, it's called slarving and people do it all the time on real skis, because they work better than fruit boots.

Yes, they did it under the reasoning of not getting in the way of pre-season operations - which they have the right to do as part of their USFS agreement - but it was clearly in response to her death...

Squaw was surprisingly fun yesterday - especially off Granite on the Hidden Bowl side. Plenty of snow for them to stay open longer, but oh well. The afternoon sticky snow definitely took its toll -...

I'd recommend demoing some bikes at a shop, comparing hard tails to dual. I just got my first full suspension 29er and now I'm wondering why the hell I waited so long. But even used, it'll...

Holy. Shit. For some reason I never clicked on this thread and had no idea what I was missing. Now we just need to get the guy who invented Dual Boards involved.

So what's better right now? Summit at AM or Granite / Shirley at Squaw?

I legitimately think it's a good name, though. 11 conjuring a straight line down a chute like Heaven 11's. Also has a dirtbag / indie vibe to it, of course.

Hemingway should really start a blog.

- Yard Sale?

I think Chapter 11 is pretty good, though.

Search for the 2012/13 tahoe weather, discussion and stoke thread... your chances for a response will be much better there.

Now I'm just confused.

So... thinking of heading up next weekend and planning to bring my new 29er in addition to skis. Seems like a good time for a dual sport day, maybe I'll finish it off with...

The 99 wouldn't be my choice.

Shitty snow year and everyone is down on the local forecaster. Big shocker. I don't think it has anything to do with OpenSnow vs. TWD.

What size?

I'm shopping for a new mountain bike this week too. Might hit some range balls after work. First week of April - fuck. :nonono2:

BA sounds optimistic for the storm around the 15th, but I'll...

Wow, nice. This is making me care less about resort closing dates.

+1 on this and how it relates to hucking really big cliffs. More technique or balls?

Remember a few weeks ago when I joked about the Cornice II lift at Squaw actually being functional because it almost never spins? Well, sounds like they're removing it completely...
...

Start Haus is not cheap but they do really good work. I've had core shots taken care of and they looked brand new afterwards.

5' 11" / 170 pounds. I ski the 188 and I'm really glad I didn't go with the 178. It actually feels shorter than my 185cm skis.

Is hogsback really a secret? I mean... I have my spots, but didn't think that was one of them.

That's what I was thinking too...

I doubt Squawlpine will even be open at this rate. Maybe just AM and not Squaw, like last year. Maybe.

I've been wondering what's up with the lack of Squaw conditions updates this season. On the other hand, there hasn't been much snow to update on, I suppose. Sorry to hear that, Miles. (or maybe...

He's probably just busy livin' the dream...

You may be able to find a position at Big Sky as resort ambassador - I hear there are recent openings.

Exactly. If only there was a large lake nearby to alleviate such problems.

I was told a few weeks ago there was a decent chance this might happen. If true, pretty smart move by Vail IMO.

I may have to call BS. Are you telling us Squaw actually spun Cornice? I figured they had removed all of the gears at this point and it was just a pretend lift.

Uh-oh, queue up the north vs. south lake debate. You can always tell when it's hot as shit way too early.

I knew I had seen that Squaw / Alpine map somewhere before! Thought it was interesting...

600 feet of elevation and 20 degrees difference? That's taking inversion to a whole new level.

Pretty sure they never owned A-Basin and were just forced to limit their buy to 49% so they couldn't have a controlling share. The same might happen if they attempted to buy Sierra.

Haha, loved the Warren Miller imitation.

Snowerblades in the terrain park and half pipe FTW. Training for the McSchlonkey?

I'm totally shocked that Vail waited a year and then raised prices. It's almost like they care more about money than skiing. Didn't see that one coming.

That's actually really interesting and I never thought of it that way. I only weigh 165 - 170 and when I was in a softer boot I felt like any variable or hard snow kicked my ass, but in a stiffer...
