Yeah, I joined my wife on her flight to Tokyo (she’s a flight attendant) and I got pulled aside and the Japanese inspector was extremely thorough checking through my bag, enough so that I started to...

I’m going. I’m making up from last years fomo when the burn got cut short because of the rain.

Manitiou Mara Pro looks great for around $315. Now if only Hayesbicycle.com just had the right size for my bike

And what would the experts suggest I do to this specialized Epic from around 2010. I bought it for $1000 a few years ago. I like it because it’s a 29er that is about 25 lbs and my wife rides it, and...

So I’ve upgraded my Santa Cruz Nomad V4 with a Fox 38 up front. What would the experts recommend for a rear shock? I think it requires a 230x60 shock length. 496283

Ok, thanks for the tips. Hose clamps, electrical tape and a new hacksaw blade. I don’t have a vice. And I’ll look into the star nut install too.

So I got a new fox factory 38 for my Santa Cruz nomad. I’m feeling timid about cutting the steer tube. I have a hacksaw, an angle grinder, and I’m happy to go buy a pipe cutter. What should I use to...

I found OV to be underwhelming on Saturday with no wind and plenty of sun making the snow really slow. I didn’t find the best zones to ski. The mountain biking on the other hand is in prime...

Ok, so I’m looking at something around $800 for new front and rear suspension for a bike worth maybe $1800. Still worth it for a good bike even though it would be nice to ride something around 30#...

Give it to me straight doc, how much time do I have left [emoji38]

It’s way past time for me to get my shocks rebuilt. I bought this 2018 Santa Cruz Nomad with 27.5 wheels from my neighbor in 2019 which is built up from extra parts from his garage. Currently I think...

For sale is some old awesome gear. I am in Sacramento and frequent North Lake Tahoe most weekends, otherwise we can work out shipping.

My Saturday was similar to yours. I’m tail gunner coach for a bunch of 7 and 8 year old kids. My favorite part was that we went started by hiking to ski Broken Arrow on a suggestion from one of the...

It sounds like rubber bands are essential touring equipment then! Sheesh! And glue, as in new glue for the screw threads? Is that for the screws in the turn tables, or the heel lifters, or both?

Alright, here are photos of my ski brake retainer. I was finally able to get both retainers to engage when I used a long flathead screwdriver to force the retainer to...

Hmmm, so I have my new 1.0 bindings mounted this year. It seems like one of the brake retainers doesn’t work. Am I doing something wrong? Is the part possibly defective?

They are not lightweight, but that makes them even more worth packing in. And what a seriously good thread name. Martha is so in her thirst trap game!

If you do pack food in a ziplock, do not heat...

Haha, I saw that too. Good point on looking stealthy out in the open. Ambulances always park in random spots waiting for a call.

We’re on to our second season of Mighty Mites. My buddy has some Lange boots this year and it’s so fun seeing his ski form improve.

Oh man. Last year I created a raised garden bed for vegetables, and planted flowering plants. This year I planted some vines like squash, watermelon, cucumber and tomatoes. Nothing is growing or...

So what you’re telling me is the ON3P ski I really want is a Super 7 from 2011 still in plastic found on EBay or marketplace. 🤣

Ok, so the Billy Goats sound like the right choice. I wasn’t sure if the Jeffrey or Billy Goat would be more similar to super 7s, but it sounds like the Billy Goats will work

My favorite ever ski has been the Rossignol Super 7 (L:195cm, w:116mm) from 2010-2012. They are super heavy, damp, slarvy and playful in powder and crud, drives hard through crud, have no speed limit...

This storm has delivered! The last hour of skiing at KT-22 on Friday 12/9 was a surprising treat. The snow was a bit cut up and dense, but overall powdery. Yesterday seemed questionable with temps...

This is what I'm doing to get my kid past the huge waitlist and into Mighty Mites. I'm kind of stoked to have my first ski job ever as an assistant coach.

Another ski instruction option is Sky...

That bike is already only 20 pounds with front suspension. I'd say be patient and let her grow into it. Or get a bmx bike instead?

Here’s a few photos from the winter from our family trip to Jackson Hole. I love the image of my kid in the tram!
