So...did 9 spin today? Any leftovers?

Today at A-basin did not suck.

That is all.

Did the nueve spin today?

If not...tomorrow...(cough,cough)

Update on durablity.After 7 days on the JJ's I have many superficial scratches, 1 core shot, 1 somewhat imploded edge/delam on the tip. And I'm only 125 pounds, although I did hit a few rocks at a...

Even breck was teh anti-suck today. Faceshots all day in the right spots...

I'll upload one shitty pic later.

Update:

I have had several more days on these in a variety of natural snow conditions. They fucking rule! I don't even notice the wideness anymore.

Powder: I skied these in ~2 feet of heavy pow...

^^^^
Yup,8 foot crown...slid to the ground. The patrollers throwing the charges went for a ride apparently, but nothing more than a few bruises. Scary...

You are correct on both accounts.

Other skis (PE) ended up having poorer hardpackk performance on account of shitty tune.

After a few days, I realized the rocker was more of a mental barrier of...

Were you the one that was commenting on how much my JJ's must suck on hardpack at A-Basin last Monday? After further testing: conclusion is that they don't...I thought that you may have been a mag...

Thanks. Sounds like one windless storm and we're good to go...

Maybe snow this week/ next weekend will be the ticket?

I'm just trying to find ways of making up missing these two days...I belive...

What's the news on chair 4?

Armada JJ 175 by skierbiker

Not allowed to go. FUCK CUNT SHIT DAMN.

Please somone tell me it wasn't worth it anyway.

How long did it take to get up/down I-70? Want to go up tomorrow...but need to convince my dad that driving up won't take like 5 hours.

Stats: 5'2" and 125 pounds on a good day.

Skis I have skied and liked: 159 K2 PE(a little short) and 158 Legend 8800 (only in powder on a snowcat trip). Before that doesn't count because I was...

That's what I like to hear! I purchased a pair a while ago, but it was sort of speculative because not many had tried it. I'm happy that it appears that rockered versatility has been achieved, and...

In what sense was the JJ a surprise?

Any chance of a Nix opening?

huh. figured that some of those lines were not completely natural.

I'm here to say that the fork looks like its the shiznit. How does it perform?

I got a pair of the 175's...and my observations are similar. Although the snow contact length is fairly short, the camber looks$$$. If you are looking for a do-it-all ski look elsewhere. But the...

Wait...Hop has a 189 cm pontoon? :eek:

No wonder he's a rockstar.

Thanks for the advice you guys!

Seriously? I'm tiny...and it seems that these will be used as an ultra-tight tree weapon.

JJ's seem to be a bit more versatile...Hellbent's are hella soft apparently.

Vitals: 5'3" and 125 pounds

I have a pair of k2 PE's for everyday which I love, but I realize that I ski enough soft snow to justify a funshape. I have absolutely no more than 850 dollars to spend...

Thanks guys! Being super busy lately and not having time to mess with the fork, i took it into the LBS. After the oil change and some teflon lube on the stanchions my Domain is now the bees knees. I...

EDIT: Innapropriate promotion of pro deal.

EDIT: Inappropriate use of pro deals

Thats a good point, I've only ridden it maybe 50 miles by now, with maybe half of that being technical enough to really use travel. It is my quiver of one bike,but I haven't been able to ride that...

Yeah but then I'll be more stoked than ever to ride my bike because its dialled, and burn off all the fat!! And I'll be at ground zero again...

I'm not exactly anorexic. Just very short. But not...

Lighter weight oil it is...will it be bad for the fork in any way?

Looking for a service manual on the SRAM site, can't find anything. Anybody have links?

I currently own a rock shox domain 318 u-turn. Great fork...stiff,cheap, has travel adjust, feels good on big hits. The thing is, I don't think I have bottomed this thing out...ever. Even with an 8...

While I am most ceartainly ready for winter, currently my dearest wish is no days above 85 degrees until next summer...I'm sick of heat.

Fantastic!!! And yesterdays afternoon NOAA discussion suggested a possibility for snow in the mountains late this week/weekend. The end of the last heatwave and the beginning of the rain="turn", it...

Alright, seems the diameter is 34.9 mm. Looks like you're gonna have to return it.

You are correct...sorry. My only other thought would be to measure the seat tube with a caliper.

Also, you really shouldn't be scared of taking the derailleur off...it's not going to self...

Whats the product number on the current derailleur?

I forgot to commend you on your amazing photographs!!! I'm betting you may be able to make money, just keep on living the dream!. Have you considered shooting for Keystone/ Vail resorts? You may get...

Seeing Buffalo Mountain in the distance and trails on the right side of the picture...the cliffs in the Windows area of Keystone. Some of them are rediculously huge...BUT the area is south facing so...

Might be there. My ride has a cold so I might be up there Sunday instead.
Is last day for Pali Saturday or Sunday?

Holy huge balls batman!
And the guy has a family too.
:eek:

Dammit...my ride bailed. The worst part is...I will do NOTHING in school Wednesday(post-AP exams).

Calling around for another ride.

Thats what I was thinking...thanks.

Hopefully will see some mags up there!

No answers? Please, I wanna go skiing on Wednesday. I'm fighting the urge to "borrow" parentals car, without having a license.

Hijack alert: How was the road? Snowpacked or just wet? I'm asking because a potential ride on wednsday has a pos rear wheel drive car with bald tires, and am wondering if we need to find a different...

BTW fantastic job on the pics.

This is slackcountry, not inbounds, am I correct? Either way I am incredibly jealous.

Sorry to hijack, but is first notch open still?

Alright, then studying sounds like it will be the plan.

Stupid AP tests.

Ridge- thrashed? Open? Crusted over?

Essentially is it worth going up tomorrow as opposed to missing an important period of study time?

If I go, it better be good.
