For a discreet messenger bag look I go with this bag and insert. Holds my 5D w/ kit lens on it plus two other lenses and flash no problem. The insert is a perfect fit for this bag. Price is right...

Most important - spend the money on a nice, COMFORTABLE, rocking chair. No matter what the wife says, YOU will be falling asleep in this thing at some point so get one that is extra comfortable,...

Still available for someone - get ready for next season now!

I am wondering if brother Freeheel had snow blindness when he bore testament to the glorious shirt that was allowed to grace the GSA's sacred temple; shouldn't it be "Bottles and Models"?

I am shocked that a bidding war has not broken out by the GSA disciples on these ORANGE ski pants, sans climbing harness, but that is easily rectified.
...

Blasphemous to be selling poor copies of the GSA's holy trousers! Whatever you do, DO NOT list these w/ a climbing harness or you will surely be struck down by the almighty GSA.

I am just amazed at the total conviction Lindahl has in all his statements: from the amount of risk of getting caught, to his "very safe" safe zone to his assertion that the injuries if caught...

This guy has a pretty cool set up for a home made rope tow, surprised he only needs 6.5HP to run it. There is a video at the bottom, I don't know how to post it here.

Yeah, how did those Bush years work for you? Oh yea, it is all Obama's fault, or Clinton, or Carter, or....

The problem with DBT and similar brainwashed party loyalists (Dem's and Rep's alike)...

As an independent, socially liberal and fiscally conservative, what cracks me up is the Repubs think bringing back the same old thing (Newt) is going to win them the White House. The Repubs need to...

Same height and weight as the OP and I have been really happy on the S3 in 186. Last year I demo'd both the S3 and S7 in Whistler and liked the S3 much better in everything but the pow. Both these...

It is easy to get to Xtal from Ballard in 1.5hrs if you leave early enough. I only go midweek when there is fresh snow and leave Ballard around 6AM at the latest to avoid the crowds and be one of...

Too funny, I was lucky enough to get to ski there earlier this year and even though there was shitty snow that place was over the top. A little bit out of my price range though.

Skiing access is easy:

Alpental off of I-90 1 hour away, pretty much a straight shot all freeway though in big dumps they shut it down for avalanche control, it is not unheard of to be closed for...

This would be a second home, I would keep one in the Seattle area as well, maybe relocate to the San Juan Islands from Seattle.

Talk to me about Jackson, not the hill since I am sure it is awesome, but how is the town? What are some good areas to look in both in town and out of town? How is the bus shuttle system. How...

Thanks everyone for the info.

My budget is up to $1M but for that I need 3+ bedrooms and it can't be a shit hole. I have zero interest in being in a big town but the house has to be close to...

Hit xtal or Baker and skip Alpental. The pass gets closed all the time in a big snow due to avalanches, plus the terrain variety is way better at Xtal and Baker if the avalanche level is high. ...

Rossignol rear entry boots - size 16.5 mondo. About as small as they come, worked for my kids ages 3 and 4. Used but fully functional, i might be able to find a set of Intuition liners to go w/ as...

Denver is a no go - I want skiing to be 5-10 min away. I don't mind being out in the boonies, not looking for a big town.

Not enough to buy in T-ride but enough to get something nice in SV.

Thinking about buying a ski town vacation / retirement home. My needs are:

Location - Rockies to west coast, USA or Canada
Single family home - no condos or town house
Nice historic town (think...

I have been to Schweitzer a couple of times but it didn't seem any better than our local hill (Crystal) as far as the skiing goes and not a very interesting town

I have been to Bend in the summer and like the town, just not interested in driving to the mountain w/ the little ones since they never ski a whole day. Yeah, your snow pack is pretty weak this...

I am looking for this year and future years so assume an average snowfall.

I am hoping the maggots can give me some inspiration on where to take the family on a ski vacation in either Western Canada or US, we live in Seattle.

This would be for myself, wife and two...

Blizzacks, end of discussion.

I am in Seattle and granted we don't get much snow but when we do the streets are hell since we have steep ass hills every where and about 1 plow for the whole...

Spokane is conservative and redneck. The nazis are across the border. The best skiing is at Schwiezer which is an hour or so away? Silver Mountain is nothing special, the best thing is Red...

It is hard to prove a negative. If a PE takes over a poorly run company and improves it so that it doesn't fail, jobs were saved. The PE firm may very well lay off people in the process. Since the...

PE firms can also turn around a failing company and prevent job losses; yes they can also layoff people while trying to reduce costs but generally a PE firm makes a company more profitable and thus...

That may be true but the taxation of carried interest isn't one of them. I am all for a flat tax with the elimination of all deductions/credit. Give a huge standard deduction as well to protect the...

As to the talk of the carried interest tax treatment being some tax loophole that was created by pressure/donations from finance, hedge funds, etc. This tax treatment has been around FOREVER, it is...

The problem I have with this is the fact you are basically arguing to change the taxation of a capital gain into ordinary income, go back and look at my example posted earlier. No one can deny that....

I will take the bait:

Situation A - an investor invests $100 and receives $200 back for a LT capital gain of $100, the government will receive $15

Situation B - an investor invests $100 with a...

Olukai - spendy but worth it.

Get an older Landcruiser. I have a 2000 that is AWD with 4WD H/L and a locking differential at the push of a button. I would second the recommendation fro Blizzacks, this rig is basically...

These are probably all from the same seller, don't know him, don't know anything about these; thought someone may be interested in them.

I hit Crystal today and ski patrol had a sign up about a lost skier from yesterday. We also shared a lift with a guy who says the missing guy is a friend of a friend about 40yrs old and that he was...

Picked up some S3s and the bindings i am looking at only come w/ 110 (Jesters) or 90 (FKS) brakes, will these work or do i need to find something with a closer match? Is it better to bend out or in?

Demo'd a pair of 186's in Whistler with 8" of new snow. Great all mountain ski, and definitely ski short, go long with these. The 186's turn like crazy, no issues in the bumps or trees on these, I...

Only interested in the 2010/2011 model.

Anyone know where I get a pair to demo, preferably 186?

Discount or Schwab, either will work fine.

I put a set of Blizzaks on my Landcruiser last month and my initial impressions are:

Unbeatable in the snow, handle everything from ice, slush, 15" of fresh, steep hills, etc with zero issues. I...

Thanks for the info. I am sanding to get rid of some oxidized base plus being in the PNW I want a coarse structure to better deal with the wet snow.
