Just saw an announcement that Silver will open for Memorial weekend.

In honor of Mt. St. Helens day, a bump from the past...

Take your own skis and make sure you have powdered chords streaming from them...

The guides love that.

^^ Correct.

Got 3 more codes today but, today is the last day so, for any of you last minute shoppers, have at it:

Ooops... Never mind, they were the same codes I sent before.

Odd. First I've ever heard of anything like that.

^^ That's never been my experience with Fred. He's always done a great job for me and is an excellent tuner. Generally, I tune my own skis but if I need a base weld or grind and structure, I go to...

^^ Everyone needs a hobby...

FYI - For those of us who frequent Spokane Alpine Haus for ski tuning/mounting/etc., Fred is no longer working there. I don't know where he's going to land but he's out at SAH.

I just looked at his profile. No longer says banned but might just be a self-imposed exile for awhile.. or forever, who knows?

I know, right? I was amazed by the speed, too. It's a killer deal.

All good. Happy to share the deal.

My bindings arrived at my house yesterday, as advertised. Wow, five days total from order to delivery. The Netherlands to western U.S. in that short of a timeframe is really pretty impressive. My...

I do the opposite. When it's a cold ride, I'll wear a ski helmet, mostly to keep my ears warm. Seems like a good compromise to conditions.

I noticed that when I went through their site but if you follow the link I posted, it still shows the same price I got them for. Not sure why that is but, not going to raise the question.

So, I ordered mine yesterday, shipped today, supposed to be delivered (UPS) on Monday. That's some fast turnaround for a really good price on the bindings! So far, very impressed with these guys.

Listing has been deleted by owner.

29 Euros for shipping. Total of €214.95, $232.50 USD. No VAT or US duty since it's < $800.

I missed out on getting a pair of very lightly used P15 Gold last week so went shopping online. I found this today and ordered. They're coming from Euroland but the company appears to be very legit...

Amen.

I've thought about doing this, too. We go to McCall in January so get Brundage and tamarack plus 49 and silver if we want. It's a great deal.

As I noted above, the Ikon is limited for Schweitzer; 5 days with Base Pass and 7 with full Pass. Also, only 49 and Silver are on the Indy Pass so Mt Spokane and Lookout are out for this plan. "The...

The problem with Ikon and Schweitzer is you get a limited number of days, five, I think.

I've heard that inhaling bleach works, too...

For those I gave codes to, one of the users is having problems with it. If you are, try contacting Smith through the website as I have no idea why it may not work but their site can be a little wonky...

I have (3) 40% off Smith codes available if someone's looking. PM me. Offer is good to May2.

All are now spoken for. Sorry for others that wanted in but didn't get one.

Damn, I was 12 minutes too late. Good deals on both sets. Congratulations soul_skier.

Second on the gold if available.

Article in the local paper regarding Loulou.

https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/apr/04/ski-legend-loulou-kneubuhler-of-spokane-dies/

We were just talking about Lou Lou last week, wondering how he was doing. He definitely made a mark on the local scene in very positive ways. Truly legendary in these parts. RIP Lou Lou, you'll be...

It was pretty deep in some areas. Wayne's Woods skied about a foot deep with some stuffing going on. Had to poke around but a lot of wind deposit this afternoon. Good day!

There's surprisingly little activity on this thread. Skiing has been pretty good the past few weeks, at least at Schweitzer. Wednesday at Mount Spokane was foggy and they've lost a lot of snow....

You can read it in the blue background if you highlight it as though you're going to copy. It's not that hard.

Gets off on pig porn.

I haven't read this entire thread and won't but it did remind me of this article in Powder (RIP) from a few years ago. Maybe some nuggets in this. Unfortunately, as the article is a bit dated,...

Yeah, add me to the Soul 7 endorsement list. I've never skied them but everything I've read seems to fit your needs. Thought about it last night when I made my earlier post but neglected to include...

Since retiring in July (third try, got too antsy the first two attempts), I've been happy with it this time. Where I wasn't adjusting to life without work before, I seem to have it going pretty well...

Go for a screaming deal. If you demo a bunch and pick exactly what you think is perfect for you, you're wasting time and money. You'll be improving rapidly and what's best for you now won't be best...

Me too.

True. The Navajo nation observes DST.

AZ stays on ST year round, no DST. States have that option, same with Hawaii.

Same here. I used to be a proponent of the longer days/evenings when I was working for mountain biking, golf, et al but now that I'm done, it really doesn't matter. But definitely DST for me as I'm...

I've been at Schweitzer for the past 30 years but grew up on Mt. Spokane. I really hadn't skied there all this time (other than hiking up in the morning and skiing down Hour Glass maybe 25 times)...

Not a bad idea to by trip insurance.

FWIW, about 12-15 years ago, we did a 30 minute show that aired on 325 cable and network channels around the country that focused on Spokane as a hub and launch point for these kinds of things. It...

"This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity"....

Yeah, that's what I told my wife...the first time. And the next time. And so on. Go easy on the booze, you want to get up and ski your best each...

Thanks for the tip!

I was at Breckenridge a couple days after that slide. Just seeing the crown and slide path from the road driving in was sobering. It was enormous. Interesting to read this so many years later. I...

We filmed there about 11 years ago, link below. A couple of points from when we were there: First, it was really sketchy conditions which is unusual for that zone since they essentially get no wind...

Dr Johnny Fever was the greatest character of the best sitcom of the time. I miss shows like that, so funny and entertaining. RIP Mr. Hesseman.
