Skied my increasingly beat-up pair last night and remembered how much I love that ski.

In the plastic would be ideal, but I realize that's unlikely. Chances are whatever you have is in better...

I kinda want to bail on this trip... 1/3 of my annual allotment of vcation to ski above-freezing alpine crust seems like a poor choice...

Cool, thanks. I get into Golden on Friday for a week at Icefall Lodge and then I have 2-3 days free 1/26-1/28 to check out the Rogers/Revy zone.

I guess I'm hoping for a pattern shift towards the...

Stupid question from an interior BC tourist: do you guys really get sun crusts so close to the solstice? Maybe I've been in AK too long, but I don't recall thinking much about the sun in the Tetons...

Don't you know it! I rented a Toyota Sienna last weekend and am fully hooked on the minivan train.

I'll be rolling form SLC Friday pm in a rented minivan if anyone wants a ride. Would be stoked for the company.

Mtbr is conspicuously thin on rides in this area. I figure that's because it's sort of Western Slope methville, but it never nurts to ask...

So I was driving through Vancouver the other day and I turned to my copilot and said, "There's this guy who lives here who is like the better version of me. We're into all the same stuff but he kills...

Nice, thanks! I'm actually just looking for bike transport but keep me posted.

Will pay gas + $100 if anyone's headed that way.

Nice, Andy! I'm stoked to hear that you're sending it so hard on your bike.

I overshot a jump @ Whistler this weekend and am thinking neck brace would be a good idea for sure.

Andy,

You. Me. Other people who like touring. Hut trip in 2013.

Cool, thanks for all the replies. My top choice prior to posting was an F250 diesel, so it's comforting to know that I'm not out in left field. Keeping options open for camper or sled deck is...

I have a little under $15k to commit to the project, so we're talking used here. Extended or full crew cab, 6' bed is preferred. I had a bleak experience with a T100 a few years back...

I'll...

From Ski Movie 3 - it's still in heavy rotation on my skintrack mix.

The premiere of Anomaly had live "Fear of the Dark" for Ian McIntosh's JH segment. Perfection.

Warning: I was alone and armed with only a smartphone camera for most of this trip...

The forecast for Labor Day weekend was pretty much solid rain for all of southcentral AK, so I decided to road...

I completely agree that saving rotational weight is key. The last wheelsets I looked at were for a very light XC bike and I honestly figured that a new DH/FR wheelset would break the bank. Looks like...

I'd like to...

Go have a drink at the Isobar in Chatham. You're likely to find some riders there.

Funnily enough, I'll be flying from/to ANC with this bag...

Thanks for the info!

If you go with Larry, be sure to make it known that you are not just another Boulderite who skis 15-20 days/yr or he will put you in a Superfeet Cork.

I have an ailing Head Monster bag that needs replacing. Anyone have a line on a suitable replacement? Wheels, padding, 3-4 skis.

I'm gonna be flying a bunch on the company dime, so I don't really...

Hah! Well said.

Very nice! I'm excited...

Oh, fuck me. That stuff was looking tasty yesterday.

Yes please.

I'm looking for an early-season pow ski for the little lady.
Length: 150's
Width: 100mm+ underfoot
Price: sub-$200

Whatcha got?

$325 plus ship.

Bump for new price.

Straight from the source:

"The Drifter "Zero" skis are basically factory seconds that came out of the press without camber (hence the low pricing). Because the Drifter Zero has very little or no...

Thanks, Stephen.

You know what's funny? I'm writing this from a computer in a Houston, TX high-rise.

Very kind of you - thanks!

Been there, done that. Different ski due to lack of camber underfoot. Also not available from Voile, nor on their website which (combined with the price point) suggests that they are some sort of...

2010 flat ski, new in plastic. $325+ship.
192cm, 153-128-141, rockered tip, camber underfoot, slight tail rise.
Only change for 2011 is the graphic on the tail (no tree in 2011).
Editor's Choice...

All. Fucking. Time.

I have a fully-featured stiff AT boot and so having a walk mode on my inbounds boot is not that exciting. I get a good fit from the RT last and I like the idea of stock Intuition liners and grippy...

I was super-impressed/inspired. I should've stuck around for a bit of hero worship with JJ, but it was past my bedtime.

I made choices in life that have led to a somewhat comfortable financial scenario at present. Don't get me wrong - it's not like I'm going to run and out buy a bunch of brand-new shiny stuff. I just...

I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree on the finer points of internet grammar.

In the meantime, could you kindly stop cunting my thread?

Thanks to all with actual input.

Suffice it to say that I tend to follow the former rule when writing:
"There are two schools of thought on this subject: "vocalisation of the abbreviation" and "vocalisation of the first word".
...

Trucks, as in which (single) truck of the (multiple) trucks on the market should I get? That said, I am an oilman - maybe I should get a Silverado 1500 HD AND an F350 in order to help the demand side...

For everything (skis, trucks, sleds, fishing rods, bikes, boats, etc.).
I'll be living in the greater Anchorage area for a coupla years and would like to hit the ground running.

Nice example...

You could do a bunch of analysis to show that there are very few possible projects left on the JH side and not enough underlying fundamentals on the ID side (River Rim anyone?). ;)

Well, shit. That was easy - thanks.

Catch up somewhere Golden/Denver-ish before 8/12?

My company booked me a conflicting trip to AK the day after I bought these tickets.:nonono2:

I'd be keen to trade for Weds 8/18 or sell outright.

Row 54, seats 25+26. $85 face value each.

I get into PDX at 9pm tomorrow and am planning on skiing as much as possible until Monday afternoon. Anyone else headed up that way?

Also looks the Gregory is selling itself to... itself:

Gregory is being sold by entities owned and controlled by Mr. Warren B. Kanders, our Executive Chairman, and Mr. Robert R. Schiller.
