Vibes! You’ve got more in plastic, yes?

Crisis hopefully averted. We called around to a bunch of Ibis dealers and Mountain Peddler in Eagle ended up having one in-bound in April, GX with Carbon S28’s as she wanted. We put $500 down so it...

Yeah, I’ll ask on that. Jensen, and this sales guy, have been challenging to say the least, regardless of the pandemic/delays.

Well fuck me... Just reached out to Jensen for a wishful update on my wife's Ripley v4 GX order - placed in Oct with a late June delivery date. Sales guy (who has been awful to work with) just got...

Good story here. It would be sweet if TNF made a coffee table book covering the Steep Tech history, design, media and eventual fashion crossover.

You have to realize that the generalization of 1 in 10 not getting it involves a ton more hair splitting than a simple yes vs no. Anyone with a long list of pre-existing conditions will wait for the...

The ratio of yes vs no in "healthcare" mostly mirror the ratio in larger society. The determining factors point toward education level of the workers, along with income and race factors. Good...

Yeah, I was curious when you said 15's. The 16's i got don't have much clearance against the brakes; I can't imagine a 15" fitting.

Jackets: we saw Janelle Smiley rocking this a few years back, but we never bought one. It's pretty sweet if an existing shell is big enough otherwise:...

We're running 16's with 215/60 R16 as well, but still get lots of ice pack up here. My wife drives it and most miles are on wet highway or soft/slush in town, with minimal melt while parked. It rubs...

It's on the trail-end of "downcountry," but for $5300, the Izzo Pro Race is available now in a large and will get you sub-27lbs with 130mm, rear lockout and great all around capability. Lighter than...

I skied Ajax 9-3 yesterday with my wife, great day on the right aspects. Had some all-time runs on Jackpot; great snow quality in wind-sheltered S1 and Christmas Tree.

Enjoyed a classic Highlands day-after session yesterday from 10-2. Ran into a buddy who is also a new dad; great to ski, commiserate and laugh about babies.

We skied off DT a few min after the...

I’ve been very intrigued by the Rustler 9 or Enforcer 93 as a low tide DD here. Maybe Stance 96 too? I have an old Brahma that’s fine but not quite my style.

Currently, myself and another 6 of my...

Damn, I like the look of the Approach version and they look much more toward the minimalist-type softshell in a good way.
