Yeah. You don't even need to do any of the training programs, just dead lift the book itself because it weighs half a ton. :) Sorry, I dislike the guy and his massive ego. I know there are alot of...

Must be weird going through life thinking everybody is always trying to pull one over on you, everybody has an evil intent, everybody is out to get you and harm you. Lol

Prime used to be good but it's been gutted of free content as media companies take control of their content for their own streaming services.

We still have a DVD player and we get all kinds of...

Doesn't seem that scary to me.

Get a job in Yellowstone or Grand Teton national park and make the move out west since you're heading this way anyway. I spent a summer working in Grand Teton, climbed a bunch of those mountains and...

OP you should plan a trip to Beartooth Basin summer ski area in June. That'll give you something to look forward to. Fun backcountry hits up there too. Probably be a bunch of mags gathering at some...

Our cable is about $90 a month including local channels. My wife and I are both sports fans and we get all we need with that.

I tried a digital antenna a few years ago but the way our house is...

Streaming services have gotten so fragmented and expensive that it's inevitable people will start migrating back to a cable package.

Sweet. Love me some Snowbowl pics.

Yeah those tracks under the Lavelle lift look...interesting. :)

I don't know if you're into hiking for turns after you've already bought a ticket, but the Headwaters chutes at Big Sky (foreground in this Ryan Turner photo) are always an option if you don't like...

Every generation has their cross to bear. Masking up at school is pretty damn minor from a historical perspective.

I was talking to my dad (89) last night and he told me some stories about my...

It can be sharky early season but once it fills in it's not bad at all. Can't blame people for not wanting to wait for the tram when most of the lifts are ski on and the Headwaters hike is not...

I wish. I will be there for a couple days next week, hoping for the best. Enjoy!

^^I interpret "depending on the product purchased" to mean you may get a discount if you buy a Tram Access Pack rather than do the auto-charge at the gate. Could be wrong.

Yeah going right over...

Everybody has close contacts who are high risk, or contacts of contacts. Do you have school-age kids? Have you watched them deal with this shit up close? You might be surprised at their resiliency...

I haven't seen anything about different pass tiers being charged different rates for tram access.

But you are correct that there is no option to pay per ride, only per day.

Real curious to see...

I don't live there. Didn't I mention I live in Helena and have to travel there? Not bitching about the pass price UNLESS it doesn't help the situation. If it helps, it is worth it.

Yep I waited...

But, will you do fewer tram runs because of the cost? Will the charge help decrease the line for real?

I guess my point is if it doesn't do anything substantial to solve the line problem, and I...

So do any of you Ikon pass holders think the new Big Sky tram policy will prevent you from planning a trip there?

Thanks for the replies, it helps. She rides mostly smoother trails, not a ton of techy downhill stuff, so based on what people say I think she would like a 29er as long as it's a good fit. And...

So supposedly next season is the last season for the current tram, and they are then upgrading to a single tram that holds 60 people? Anybody got any details? This is just rumor because I really...

No easy decisions about this stuff. Lots of luck involved too. I know people who have been way more careful than us who have ended up with the whole family getting covid. We fall in the middle...

If they're going to force me into buying an Ikon pass then I'm damn sure going to use it. Could be the winter I finally hit Red Mountain, assuming the border is open by then.

Oh wise and wonderful experts...any reason not to buy my soon-to-be 15 yo daughter a 29er full suspension mountain bike? She has ridden my wife's and likes how it climbs (it's a front suspension)....

Central AC was the best money we ever spent. Makes a huuuuge difference during fire season, not only in air quality but also stress level. Being able to shut out those hot, windy red flag days is...

Baylor had an easy game on Saturday, Zags had a tough, emotional win in overtime. No surprise Baylor looks so much more energetic. Why not wait a week to play the championship game? Never quite...

Replied. Sounds like we have a deal.

Dated a girl from Bronxville one summer when I worked in the Tetons. She was not poor.

Kind of a weird thing but when my wife and I had little kids and we were always so tired, we started giving each other what we called "5 minute massages" every night in bed. Just a little...

My kids are back in school four days a week, doing sports, and socializing, which includes the occasional sleepover, study dates, etc. We've got our first shot scheduled for April 20 (had to wait...

This is true, with a couple of teens down the hall it gets tougher. Gotta just keep it kind of quiet. Besides, they got earpods in 90 percent of the time anyway. But discretion is good, you don't...

I was using Eco Wax earlier this season, but didn't get great results from a glide standpoint. Switched to Hertzel Hot Sauce and I think it works much better. Also, I stopped doing the hot wax and...

Wow!!

Oh and another food rec if you're driving through Oak Harbor at mealtime: Seabolt's Smokehouse and Seafood Restaurant is great and it is on Hwy 20.

Second this, top of Erie is one of the greatest viewpoints for mountains and water. Followed by dinner at the Rockfish Grill/Anacortes Brewery. Can't wait to visit that place in June.

Yep. And that was Trump's great miscalculation. If he would have adopted your strategy, rather than deliberately promoting spreader behavior among his followers, he would have been re-elected in a...

Never to be taken for granted, as most people in the world would attest. But IMO the ideal virus response would probably fall somewhere between the responses of Canada and the U.S. Not that anybody...

Meh, I don't think most people determined to kill would be deterred by that. By the time any "good guy with a gun" is able to stop them, they will have fulfilled their mission to kill to a satisfying...

Doesn't seem to have resulted in cases blowing up though, did it? I've waited in many lift lines this season at Big Sky, probably the state's most crowded resort, and climbed into the cramped tram...

Ah, got it.

I find it interesting Big Sky hasn't released their pass prices for next year yet and started the early season sale. Probably got thrown for a loop when Epic undercut Ikon, and are...

What announcement? I thought they already announced prices.

:biggrin:

Much better up there today with the snow that fell and blew in overnight. Did seven gullies laps and left at 1:15 when the line started getting long. I think they're packing the tram more, maybe even...

Why? They give you your own room ya know.

Wow...bummer.

When I got there at 11 there were two people in the tram line. Adventure skiing at its best. [emoji3] I saw a few people taking their tools off and walking around in survival mode. Couple of boarders...

Only thing we know for sure is that the crash always comes.

I saw that. Going down there in the morning, going to be real interesting...
