Thanks, this is exactly the sort of thing I was looking form.

It's a relatively old jacket. I can't imagine it's still covered under any warranty.

The upper-arm pocket on my ski jacket has started debonding rather badly. Browsing some other threads I found a local company for repairs that seems to be highly rated, but I'd also like to keep my...

That's just falling with style. This is how you do it right:

Stadium is being replaced with a detachable quad that will dump you off around the top of the Heather chair. It will definitely help decrease lines for MHX and should easy the shitty situation with...

I think celebrating someone's death seems to be in bad taste, but I also image I might feel different if I was a resident of NYC.

I'm also kind of surprised at the number of people on TGR who seem...

Clearly Obama timed this entire operation against Osama to intentionally disrupt the broadcast of Celebrity Apprentice. It's a conspiracy I tell you.

I wouldn't sweat the .net address; mtskier is just being retarded.

What's with the MRA opposition to Breck's plan when they themselves are working to open a ski area where people enjoy currently backcountry skiing?

I noticed that they closed the Reserve early on Tuesday. I guess they were right about the danger increasing.

I believe that's a triple cossack, not a triple spread eagle. And I think they are worth -100 GNAR points each.

Ha. The guy in the red jacket is one of my coworkers.

I'd love to hear the rationale behind this one, given that the 1st generation Explorer pretty much defined the term "SUV".

And just for the sake of converstion, I too really liked the FJ Cruiser....

Alpine bindings.

PROTIP: unibody vehicles routinely get better safety ratings than body-on-frame vehicles

I'd just like to point out that many 'real SUVs' do not have ground clearance that is appreciably better than the Outback. 9" is probably equal to or better than my '93 Explorer, which has never had...

A truck or truck-based SUV is hardly a necessity. An Outback with 9" of ground clearance and 3000 lbs of towing capacity would be more than enough to haul a sled around.

Southwest apparently flies out of Newark, so they would probably be the way to go. I think everyone is going to charge you for the ski bag these days, but Southwest won't be charging you for the rest...

Perhaps a certain unnamed ski resort is feeling the financial heat due to some poor business decisions and somehow thinks taking on an internet forum is the way to go.

A regular Grand Cherokee will be just fine off road, but you need to make sure your friend is aware that he is a gigantic idiot for buying an SRT8 and expecting to do any serious off-roading with it....

Never had problems with my all seasons, but then they are also an on-road/off-road tire.

1) tires matter a lot. the Lexus probably had highway tires
2) a 4WD truck will still be a little squirrely without any weight in the back
3) some of the more off-road oriented Subarus (like the...

Yep, read through that several times. Just looking for the manual for the sake of having a copy.

No luck. Link is dead.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but does anyone have a pdf of an old Tyrolia manual that includes the Railflex 2 bindings? Every link to one that I've been able to find on TGR is dead.

Don't let the jongs over at Epicski know how you hurt yourself. They'll tell you that you didn't actually hurt your arm because baskets always pop off when a pole gets stuck.

Hope it heals quick.

U-Haul sells a class 1 hitch for the Sportwagon, but that is still only rated for 2000 pounds. It's not really a car for towing, though you could probably get away with towing something up to the...

You'd think they would dig it out before it got to that point to prevent damage to the towers.

I had to google Grizzlycorn, but that is a quality topsheet.

I'd cut/sand/file a piece of high quality plastic to fit and epoxy it in with a flexible epoxy. And also make sure that the patch is only used as the outside edge like XXX-er said.

Well deserved.

Given that the airbag will likely put you on your back on top of the snow with your feet downhill, it seems like a good trade-off for the slightly increased chance of running through some trees at...

So if I understand this correctly, the only advantage it has over a diagonal release Tyrolia is that the lateral release can be adjusted independently of the vertical. It doesn't seem worth it when a...

Full-size truck heirarchy: Ford > GM > Toyota > Dodge > dog shit > Nissan
Heavy-duty truck heirarchy: GM > Ford > Dodge

Really, the best choices for either are Ford or GM. Dodge has been getting...

Sounds like a dick move.

"Pole straps are retention devices and therefore the skiers code says you have to wear them."

The 2012 Watea 120 will have a 32 m radius, I believe.

I don't know, the whiskey might be more important than the ice axe.

Mt. Hood Meadows would be the best choice for spring skiing on Mt. Hood, and they will probably be open on the weekends in early May.

How come they are labled with a domain name that doesn't exist? Other than that, they look pretty sweet.

I would say it depends how they put the plugs in. If they were larger than the minimun thread diameter and pounded in with a hammer or mallet, the material around the holes is probably too...

Sounds like some idiot hit them while...

In the defense of snowboarders, most of them don't partake in fucking monkeys.

It's like they are all trying to look homeless.

Sounded pretty nasty when it came over the radio. Hope everyone pulls through.

I'm looking at the snowfall totals for Meadows and wishing I hadn't hurt myself last weekend.

Going by NWAC's forcast, the lower mountain should be open but Vista and Cascade will most likely be down due to wind.

You'd probably still be flying low enough over the road to be considered "crossing" it, but regardless of the technical legality, they'd still probably make you stop.
