It has been sold.

Bump. $475 plus shipping (or local pickup in Portland area). In great shape, purchased 12 months ago and only used about 10 days. Price includes cylinder. Airbag has only been deployed a couple times...

Price drop.

Great condition, just typical scuff marks. About 4 years old but only 20-25 days in them. Superfeet footbeds included. I'm selling because I haven't been using them much (touring...

There is a TON of mountain biking and hiking to be had w/in 40 minutes of SLC in June. Moab is super hot by then and that's minimum 10 hours driving round trip. Drive a 1/2 hour to Park City instead....

Best advice so far.

I'm really jealous of your trip. The Canyons sucks. Go to Jackson and tour on Teton Pass and/or in Grand Teton park when you're there. I'm really jealous of your trip. That's...

Sorry but you're obviously not very familiar with early December PNW weather. Hint, it frequently doesn't look like Mt. Baker shots in Powder Magazine. Pre-Christmas skiing here sucks about 60% of...

Surprised the gaper extremist hiker/snowshoe crowd hasn't tried to twist the Wilderness Act into banning mechanical ski bindings the way they have with mountain bikes yet. Those skiers ruin the snow...

That may be true for those who live in a select few cities close enough to the mountains where a season pass makes sense. But it's still a lot of money for a family to shell out each fall. The...

I wonder how much of the explosion in backcountry popularity is driven by the increasingly out of reach price of resort skiing, and whether the shift could ever be large enough to put a dent in...

Unless you're staying up at Sundance, I'd be less concerned about the drive to LCC and more that you're contemplating willfully choosing to spend your time in Provo. Do you like Mountain Dew and hot...

On Phinney, 74th Alehouse has great pub food and Oliver's Twist does a good cocktail happy hour. Revel in Fremont for Asian fusion (I guess you'd call it?). I like the new Six Gill beer bar in...

Just buy a place in DV and get a room at the Cliff when it's dumping then. Or have the Powderturds come pick you up.

I was thinking Sandy as more down in the valley rather than up on the bench. I guess I don't really know where Sandy ends and Cottonwood Heights begins. You're in a nice spot don't get me wrong. But...

Parley's Summit isn't really a "pass" and being the main interstate it's the first priority whenever it snows. It's not really very far from the summit to the mouth of the canyons, maybe 15 minutes...

Sandy is not halfway between PC and LCC. It's right at the mouth of LCC. It's also bland, sprawling suburbanville and you're going to have to drive to do anything fun outside. Wouldn't be very fun in...

Could not agree more with that article. This pretty much sums it up:

I didn't read everything in here, but I will just chime in to add that the un-professionalism and incompetence definitely runs both ways. The hiring process is completely broken and so many HR...

Pretty fascinating recount of the guy who got carjacked.

Jesus the Mariners are terrible. Literally unwatchable. Making Houston look like a major league team. Raul Ibanez is the worst defensive major league outfielder I've ever seen. What a train wreck.

It sounds like they were all experienced, had gear and training, and knew what they were doing. Those are the ones that scare me the most. Terrible news, RIP.

People that read every Boston update out loud at their cubicle all day long. Like I don't have the internet at my desk too.

Pretty sure the time spent reading two pages of this thread has made me measurably dumber.

People who make extended cell phone calls in small quiet coffee shops.

Or just complete lack of self awareness in general.

I totally agree with this article. In my experience HR departments are completely incompetent in the hiring process.

Ya he kinda cancelled out any potential sympathy by trying to shoot the police. I hope he writes a book in prison.

I'd be interested in hearing more about how it actually works. I was always under the impression that if you were reported missing, it would help the rescue team with more detail about your time of...

I see your point from gutting out 6 days, but she attempted to "hike" an 11,000 foot snow and ice covered, exposed glaciated peak in winter in sneakers. Not sure if you're familiar with the terrain,...

"Hiking" Mt. Hood in March with sneakers, leggings, and a Jansport backpack. I like how she blames the rangers for not seeing her registration and coming to look for her right away. Classic.


...

Anyone been out recently? Gloppy & crusty or not bad?

Except Seattle doesn't have a train system. They have one light rail line through the ghetto and a commuter train that's absurdly expensive and only usable if you live in far out N/S burbs, work...

That's funny.

But it's almost like they deliberately tried to magnify the geography here with the worst city planning/civil engineering possible. Seriously, what is with the random street layout, lack of...

And that's a high standard of dumb.

I know, how bout making the primary N-S interstate in the Western United States wider than 2 lanes through downtown. You know, something a lot of people might...

Great thanks for the suggestions guys. A bunch of those are ones I've been eying.

Tried a brief search but didn't see anything recent that was touring specfic. Looking for new softshell-ish touring pants. I don't get that cold in winter but do get hot easily in the spring. Don't...

Hey guys, I'm new to Seattle and have an Alpental pass. 28, good shape, 5 years or so bc experience. I've mostly been lapping resorts so far but am looking for sidecountry and touring partners. Have...

I'm jealous of you all and miss SLC. That's all.

That's like going to Jackson in February and not skiing.

Angels Landing and some of the other short canyon hikes in Zion NP are awesome and easily doable by kids (at least to where the cables...

That would be great. A way to access touring up there pre-June without owning a sled would be pretty cool. But a ski area up there would be lame. I love how undeveloped Adams has stayed, somehow.

Anyone ski Alpental today? Worth it for a few hours of cruising tomorrow? Off-groomed at Crystal was pretty brutal today. Views were worth it though.

Good article. Very applicable to...

The Canyons sucks don't give them your $100. Go to Snowbasin if you want a break from the Cottonwoods or the canyon roads are f'd. Or Pow Mt. if you want mellow vibe and less steeps but good...

Those NH touring pics were cool but the coverage still looks terrible, like October rock banging at Alta. Just saying. Btw,why isn't this in the skiing forum?

CNN.com is definitely still the go to for your daily front page article about some ridiculous animal story though.

Some serious shit might be happening in the world, but if a dog rode a...

Except without people like this most of you ski bums wouldn't have jobs. Just sayin'.

Heading to Stevens inbounds tomorrow. New to WA so it would be cool to meet up with some local mags. Will bring avy gear and skins too in case anyone wants to meet up. Don't know the area though...

New to Seattle. Thinking what I want to do tomorrow. Just how bad is Stevens going to be crowd wise tomorrow? In relation to say, a powder day in LCC or January Saturday at Mt. Hood Meadows as...

Alpental telemetry is showing 17" of new at 5,400 ft and 26 inch base at 3,100 ft. Any guesses on when they open or how much more snow they need?

Not sure when the last time you looked at rents around all the areas mentioned, but that's going to get you some pretty terrible living. I'd at least double that for any of those hoods. It's...

For the non-nurses, I've always wondered about jobs you can do remotely "from anywhere" which seems to be a pipe dream but perhaps becoming slightly more common these days. Business, finance,...
