Powder time soon!

**jamesp** · 10-14-2015, 06:59 PM

ski time should be soon but it feels so far away. Its still biking in t-shirt weather!

**time2clmb** · 10-14-2015, 07:22 PM

Biking today in my tank top was cool enough to make my nipples hard. Was a bit borderline for that.

My boat is still in the water and I was wakeboarding 2 days ago. Really hard to get my head into ski season.

the line is always crossed when we were talking about your hard nipples...

**time2clmb** · 10-16-2015, 05:11 PM

You said you would give me $50 if I let you touch them. You still owe me you bastard, pay up!!!

What's the most exciting new thing going on at hills in our area?

Looks like SSV wins with a replacement chair.

K Ho did some glading, as well as widened and eased the exit out of Crystal Bowl north of the Stairway chair. They are still figuring out how to get the Pioneer Chair running…...

not sure heated TP is exciting. With that bubble, and the regular strong cross winds, I can see a LOT of slows on that lift, and closures....

I understand why marketing is excited, but as a skier, I wish they would have just put in a T bar to the bench (silver city entrance)

honestly, would have been much better ski wise. There's not much going above that for types like us. I guess im not the guy buying lift tickets for my kids and buying burgers at the day lodge though,

**time2clmb** · 10-19-2015, 10:40 PM

A t-bar would be awesome. Thought the same thing about wind closures on that. The old chair was reliable in the crosswind and would run through some stuff that closed the others. The bubble sail won't help.

Not even sure what the view looks like to the right from that perspective. Usually looking away from the wind to the left.

I've heard rumors that the old chair could end up at castle into the cat ski terrain... Hope this is true.!

**mntlion** · 10-22-2015, 02:29 PM

I think Powder King snapped it up.

**phallic-menace** · 10-23-2015, 05:52 PM

The guns are firing on louise.... If the forecast is right we should be seeing a full week of snow making

**Cocximus** · 10-24-2015, 11:44 AM

So what is every one's take on this season predictions? I am trying to decide between driving out west or going to europe. After three months in trade school money will be pretty tight.

**DougW** · 10-26-2015, 02:08 PM

Price Police/Maybe a buyer here:

got some skis for the Golden Ski Swap and was wondering what was a good price to sell:

NIB - 185 and 180 G3 Infidels - one pair each length
Dimensions: 128 x 97 x 119 mm
thinking $230

NIB Head Cyclic 115 175cm
DIMENSIONS: 148-113-131
thinking $300

Used in good shape , used one season
Head Sweet Fat Thang 176cm
124/89/117 bit of twin tip
mounted with PX12s
thinking $250

Sallie Pocket Rocket 175cm twin
mounted fritschi diamir titanal med ( remount) bindings have seen maybe 15 days touring
very good shape as wife hated them for anything other than powder days so not many days on them
thinking $130 for a fairly cheap GF BC setup??

**mntlion** · 10-26-2015, 02:23 PM

all seem about right, if not a bit low.

low = will sell, and you DONT have to take home..

**DougW** · 10-26-2015, 02:59 PM

that's what I want to hear, low enough to sell for sure

**mntlion** · 10-26-2015, 08:00 PM

I Might come in with some gear for that sale. wait to see

**goldenshowers** · 10-28-2015, 06:46 AM

The Gentlemen always put on a good event in Golden, whether it be a summer gear/bike swap, ski swap, dodgeball tourneys or horseshoes, a good time will ensue. Plus you will help some kids who don't have the opportunities to get into various sports.
