nice bike. good luck with the sale. IMHO, if you have your saddle set with that much decline to ride, then you must have it way too high.

Haha, nice find. That post was actually 100% facetious, intended to make light of all the negativity on this butthurt thread at the time. I am always positive that moisture will come (except last...

You should take it to a RS dealer and have them send it to RS. You will probably end up with a new warranty post which will be worth much more.

Exactly. That has been the rule this whole season, more or less. Copper has gotten 11" in the past ~12 hours -- one of their better storms of the year. Bottom line is moist NW flow = win for the...

You can derelict my balls!

Sick bike. But do you never ride in the drops? Check out salsa cowbell bar or other cx bars if you want no drop to the hoods, and compact but still useable drops.

How's the snow holding up on N. faces / shady tree aspects this week in Eagle/Summit county?

bump . . .

PM sent on the vivid air.

Exactly, it was just dropping into the line. If there is a lesson, it is that if you poke the dragon enough in winter conditions in Colorado, you're gonna get burned. Fuckin' Lucky is right.

I picked these up in the fall and never got around to mounting them. Passing them on to someone who needs a good pow ski as my quiver is set for now. The skis are in near mint condition with the...

^^ seconded. Anyone with time on cochise 193 and hoji 195 in less than ideal ("packed-powder" or chalk) bumps, crud etc.? Sounds like the Hoji is really a soft snow ski that isn't all that fun or...

Thanks Ullr!

FKNA, way to get it! You can tell your grandchildren about that one. Biggest day in Wintergreen history I am sure.

GFS isn't indicating a "fizzle." But we'll see how things play out in 72 hours. Turn that butthurtz to positive frozen dendritic growth dance energy.

Anyone getting out for some ev tomorrow? My normal ski partners are all out of town. Looks like things got a nice refresh with this last storm:

Sorry to hear dude! I did mine at Vail in late Dec. 2010 and missed the epicness of the remainder of that season, so I feel your pain. Not to sidetrack this thread, but I just see what you wrote...

Haha, I wish I could get out of work today. The forecasting this year has been comical. There is easily a foot on the tables in blue sky right now. Gonna be deep in the back I am sure. It was nuking...

Everywhere in Colorado is going to suck tomorrow. That's what it does here, suck. Nothing to see. Move along. This is not the state you want.

Getting pretty excited for a hut trip in the vicinity this wkd.

Steamboat reporting 15 up top in the last 24. Anyone been out and about in fish creek recently? No obs coming in from that zone on CAIC, but wondering how the canyon snowpack is shaping up? Will...

Not to dissuade you but to your question:
- frame geometry -- sounds like this is a custom frame, assuming 29er. if you want really short chainstays then a belt isn't a great option. The clearance...

I can't imagine there is much of a market for the OG bishop these days. Hopefully they are quick to market with something interesting. I never got the affection for the gate hinges in the first...

While driving over the pass this afternoon, I saw a lone track down Russell and large slide that appeared to be triggered by the skier. Any info on that?

Jan. is a bust but February is a whole new month. Flying to Kentucky the 1st wkd of Feb so maybe that can help start off the return to winter.

That ski is going to crush.

Missed this the first time around. Sick line & TR! But, why not climb up?

Hump day bump. Buy these skis! You need them.:the_finge

Sent you a pm. Have a pair for sale in Denver: http://denver.craigslist.org/spo/3522948207.html

Good question -- these are 193cm.

Dimensions are 149/129/134

Here is what ON3P says:



Bump for price drop. Winter is getting ready to reload...get your pow quiver dialed with this...

Whatever skis you don't mind getting core shots in. But alpine is fine. Bootpacking rather than skinning is the norm there.

These skis crush it! Production pair No. 1 of last year's model, which is the same as this year. As a bonus, these feature pillow fight bases.

Skis have been lightly ridden, no notable damage. ...

I want some of what the GFS and NAM are smoking.

Ullr, what's for dinner?

Yes, sounds like it.

looks like we'll need another few good storms for summit county/divide for the basin to be anywhere close to opening Pali:

Not $512. More like $570 with shipping and tax. Whereas they are $650 new on B&H right now.

Snow is happening along the cold front. Been snowing most of the day in Steamboat and north as they are benefiting from the front. The front passage southward is slightly delayed from early...

It is a deal -- retail would be 1289 shipped. Schwerty is offering to pass on the skis for the presale price on a pair of skis of which only ~25 production pairs exist this season. It's kind of a...

hard to disagree, but I wonder if they are too much float for some folks? There is a beauty to being in the fluff rather than on it. 150 waist/most of the ski just sounds really large. Hope to...

Looks like Ullr's getting a chubby for CO.

TGR bro ... my comment was in jest, just like yours. Btw woo, it's not a cheese. More RPC content imminent with snowfall across the west!

JONG! Btw, ttips looks to be running just fine to me.

Hop said it perfectly. First year product, nobody is going to really know the "durability" answer until at least a season. You don't have...

Good detail from NWS GJT:

The term is retrograde, Jong.

Core rot? Give me a break. Big dude putting thousands of pounds of force on skis with the tips planted in snow = bendy. Would have happened to any ski regardless of holes. But it is good that...

Seriously. This JONG ^^^ gets called out for starting a thread about the subject ski and gets roasted, so posts here. Commence some weird interweb bromance that has no relation to anything...

CAIC has a good message as of noon today:

If this season turns out good, it will be the butthurt-response historical bookmark for years to come. "Just remember '12-'13, when there was less than 20" of snow anywhere in Colorado in...
