I'm fan from a Dawson fan boy and I guess that can be said about my opinion of most bloggers. To be fair to him however, he is open to critique in the comments section of his own website. Why don't...

Good stuff dudes! Spring just started up again around here. I'm headed to float the Green for a couple of days before a 6 day Yampa permit. I just visited one of my best friend who moved to Victor...

Inspiring! I'm such a pussy.

Honestly, the editing is OK but the skiing is piss poor. I just watched a painful minute of stinkbug safety grabs. At least the tunes were not that painful. On the plus side, you make Wanker Park...

Really? Do you backcountry ski? So you personally feel like traversing avalanche paths in a five person group is an acceptable level of risk?

I have as much empathy as anyone but at bare minimum...

This thread and the Euro mags have been crushing it this year! Thanks for providing the motivation to fine tune my headband collection and get better at smoking cigarettes. I fully intend to keep...

First, RIP and best wishes and thank you to the 1st responders and Jerome.

Secondly, some of you should either quit BC skiing or not start.

Thirdly, since these tragedies always come with a...

Is there any money to be one, 'cause last time I showed up....Also, where are my longboards? At one point in time I had some K2 womens downhill, some 223 Rossis and those wicked Stolkl SGs. I don't...

Yeah, stop drawing cocks on the walls. Oh...and if you'd stop shitting on the floor, that would be great also.

I haven't spent too much time up there this year but it seems like we are going...

That's a good white paper. It is nice to see a little science. While it seems like the empirical evidence point to the program working in Aspen, it seems like primary reason for success was due to...

Where do you live in CO? Heated garages cost money put can be big for resale.

What type of fuel service do you have now? City gas? Propane? Where is the tank/lines?

What temp. is reasonable...

Uh no...I70 and the city roads were fucked. Not too much snow Berthoud/ WP way but good skiied and needed SWE none the less.

FWIW, I'm the same size and find Medium Talls to be best.

Ha..ha...that's weather dude. I can't say whether or not this year forecasts have been specially sucky. I can see the ski area from my house and I can't even tell what the skiing is going to be...

Where in Colorado? Generally it's OK up here in Grand County. We've got a really nice range. Holiday weekend on the other hand...watch out for your dog.

I'm not a Loveland loc and I'm not a serial ski patrol apologist...but I'm not sure the mitigation techniques you discuss are realistic or effective.

I'd love to hear Bunion or Covert or anyone's...

Sweet!

Two hands on the rope!

for the haters:

CarveDude - 'jacking your thread 'cause these pics ain't TR worthy.

"A couple of levels"? I figure you go there thinking your an "8", come back thinking your a "4", check some blogs and other tid bits of radness and downgrade to a "2".

Georgio, put some pics up...

Blurred, you need to go fly in Europe for a month next year. Like you, I laugh at those around here (Colorado) that define themselves as "skiers" yet their radness is constrained to the annual trip...

If safe, go do the bottom couloirs that start between the Pendant and the Gondola (generally). IMO, that's the best low vis at the GM.

If this next round of storm entails significant wind and loading I feel we could be in for a pretty big natural cycle. Be careful.

Not bad I guess if you've got some mates in the car. I'm considering spending a couples of months in Cham next year. What to you think the realities of renting a room for a couple of months or so...

Sounds like quite the storm. You dudes are killing it. Punter's questions, do you guys have to pay the obnoxious tunnel fee everytime you ski Cour or is there some type of discount? Orash, you...

My Dad's got the boat and the spinning gear covered. Interesting about the 8/9/10 decision. I'm just going with what why friends are suggestions for an all around salt set up. We usually do a...

TFO and Winston, you work for Elhert? Seems like everyone around here is getting of the Scott train for Winston. I really like my Sage trout rod so maybe I'll give those a look.

A good deal no doubt. If I wasn't trying dial in my cigarette smoking and headband wearing in Europe next winter, I'd consider it.

So my parents have a place on the Indian River in FL now. Sweet for me. I'm looking to get a salt set-up for reds, baby tarpon, sea trout, pampano and the rest on the aquarium one may catch down...

10-4 on the Peak to Peak wackos. The Super Pass Plus thing is huge for me and my wife. With the Steamboat and Monarch add-on I've got a couple of weekend trips for about $100 more than my regular...

What time of year? You can't really go wrong with the Green. A section for straight fishing, B & C for floating with fishing. Really depends on time of year and how you value the camping and and...

Honest answer is I'm not really sure. There are a lot of micro drainages and thick underbrush in that area. I think it would depend on what time of year/ road conditions. The easiest way would...

Every backcountry region is different in terms of what type of mistakes people are making. Here is CO, education is in your face and widely available for a very affordable (often free) price. I see...

Thanks. Me, cheap bastard, went with PCS 9 for $ because we only got XC bikes. FYI, pricepoint by far the cheapest when factoring shipping.

Holy shit...we've now got 3 people from Grand County who actually go BC skiing on this fourm!

MT Girl - I'll all good up St. Louis and such. If you're gonna do the Deadhorse loop I suggest going...

Thanks Greg. That's what I want to believe. This Lord SP is an alpine binder designed for touring boots yes? I'm aware that the Radium is basically an alpine boot with a vibram sole that tours OK....

Be smart. Stay safe dues. I'm itching as bad as the rest of you to get up high and do some really skiing, but it ain't time. Don't trust your life to a hard slab. From the CIAC the last week or...

Pretty badass if you ask me.

Thanks for the info dudes. What it's looking like to me is the Alpine/Duke style binding "compatibility" with the boot is going to be the constraining factor. I guess the industry doesn't think...

Fuck. I might be too dumb/ don't give enough shit for MTB these days. So many choices, so much technical jibber jabber.

I looking for some tires for my Enduro. The ones that are on there right...

Is Park still the go to? PCS-9, 10, something else? I've dealt with janky stands so I don't want that but you pay so damn much for anything Park. Anyone got anything used?

Thanks

They actually have a specific Fein blade for grout. Also, there is a tool called a grout rake with is pretty handy. What's wrong the the grout? What type of tile? Are you regrouting with the same...

Since this thread is were all the people that actually go touring and know what the fuck they are talking about hang out....do any of the TLT/Mecury/Vulcan/Malestrale type boots "fit" in a...

The TR is back! Bad ass line.

Keep 'em coming! I'm a sucker for the Euro TR (LC that mean you too). I eyed that route down to the glacier from Italy while I was there. Looks like a sweet decent. p.s. I think you're ready for...

I can see Byers from my house. I can't tell you how big other than fuckin' big. Naturals on Bottle and Ptarmigan as well. Regarding skiing Byers, yeah the skiing is pretty good but the access not...

interesting. this will give me a good place to start when looking to replace my one-boot-quiver Radiums. of the boots on the list, anyone care to comment on what may have a similar fit?

So I managed to make my last smart phone last the 2yrs. This is quite a feat as I'm pretty rough on phones. I'm a contractor so the phone is exposed to dust, dirt etc. I had an Otter Case for the...

I know the Cham-Mont Blanc Express usually runs. Been there done that myself. As of two weeks ago, it was not running due to some type of works on the line. Can you verify that the train is...

I don't think the train is running from Cham-Martingy. You can get a bus to Verb on Thursdays. If try dirtbaging in your goal, keep in mind a few things. Compared to the US, lift tickets are cheap...

The pass has been totally skunked by the last round of storms. And besides, it's way to dangerous to ski. Don't believe me, check CAIC.
