The Lauf Seigla seems like a decent value, especially when it's on sale.
Lynskey has a sale going on: https://lynskeyperformance.com/gravel-special-shimano-grx-600-2x11/
I bought three bikes during...

Honestly for $2500 it's tempting. Is that a structural ratchet strap on the front though?

With Alfa at the top of the 2023 JD Power ratings, anything is possible.

I was waking up between 1-2am, no matter when I went to sleep. A low dose of Trazadone helps me sleep until about 4am.

They're light but not noodley. They do fine in choppy pow.

Was about to go up for Dawn Patrol this morning, wind chill of -15F so I held off.

This season has been low key...

I've got a couple seasons on my Escalators now. I was skiing on 2013 184 Mantras before, and wanted something with a shorter turn radius as the majority of the skiing I do is tree skiing in the east....

Thanks and same to you, cat. It's great to see what everybody is getting up to in all the various NE zones. Give a shout if you're ever up in the northern Greens.

Dust on crust but still a good morning

I use those to warm up my boots during the drive to the hill, they work pretty well for that use case.

Conditions were…variable. Feeling lucky we had an above average early season.

It was fun while it lasted (temp from the weather station at the top of Bolton). Now we wait for cooler temps.

Adirondacks were glowing this morning, beautiful view across the lake.

Close, Moonshine.

I think Sugarbush now has a dedicated uphill path at Mt Ellen that’s always open: https://www.sugarbush.com/mountain/terrain-and-maps/uphill-travel
