we've got a friends hand me down mac-ride and it's served it's purpose thus far, easy to take on and off quickly and switch between bikes if you have a couple of the steerer tube rings.

gonna be a long walk to get from singing pass to disease ridge

mangled a rear der cage on my gen3 bronson the other day...haven't looked at it that closely yet.........

I had a couple calls first thing and about 10am it popped into my mind but they were already sold out...

I'm 5'9", 0 ape index on a large gen3 Bronson which lists the reach as 459mm in the high setting. Running shortest possible stem (Chromag ranger 31mm) and a 35mm rise bar, and seat slammed all the...

sounds like if 7th isn't broken on any given day, it's open instead of Glacier

the one on my Samurai is into it's 9th season this year, showing it's age, but still rocking!

I had a catastrophic z1 wedge failure with both stanchions snapping off below the crown in 2007 which left me with 3 vertebrae compression fractures, a skull fracture, and a total loss of hearing in...

long covid?! haha TBH, I don't even really remember my last really good spring skiing day, so I'm not one to talk!

granted my spring skiing days haven't happened much in the past couple years <COUGHCOVIDCLOSURECOUGH>, but, is this actually as per usual??

nice!

Sunday was, pretty not great...did a couple laps after skiing with our toddler on the lower mountain, didn't see a lot of value in doing more than a couple.

not even sure that the images were Wayne's as much as other peoples images he posted to the blog, if they were his, then a bit harder to be too upset by the ask imo. I'm sure an inbounds avy fatality...

I don't disagree..I mean, even the skier death in west bowl was being initially described as a "ski incident" by Vail and only later confirmed as an inbounds avalanche.

is Wayne still an employee? but also, vail sucks!

didn't have enough time to wait out alpine opening today, but still decent mid mountain conditions this morning.

180km/h gust on the Peak at 8:30am!

arrrrgggghhhh, bureaucrats scheduling Monday 9am meetings late Friday with a fat forecast....

yup re Fillmore, super simple, effective...I got given them so made the price kinda moot, but I am impressed thus far

hear hear! Bland, soulless, homogenous corporatism.

one of those believe it when I see it situations, but have heard a lot of rumblings from a lot of people plugged into the bike side of WB that they have low expectations when it comes to the long...

lol, the braiding in Squamish would make your head explode (I hate it)...that just looks like someone lost attention for a split second

granted I don't go to handlebar that much since I moved out of town, but damn I was crushed the last time I went and they no longer had the currywurst!

yup, pretty wide gulf between cheap (Radpower $2400 cdn) and everything else which seems to be $5000++

$10g ebikes with scram nx and motors that brick regularly, what's not to love?!

new quad chair for WH2O...surprised to see it run so close to existing Silver King and not run more White Queen as per the master plan.

They've been sitting on a proposed development in Whistler for 240 bed staff housing building since 2020 that actually has received 3 readings from council (4th is final approval), and we've been in...

lots of variability in coastal, mountainous terrain, let alone systems tracking across thousands of kms

if you have low expectations you'll never be disappointed!

mostly, but they weren't far off through that december/early january cycle!

great tip!

I would think the pontoon, is probably overkill

Hunter Gather across the street from splitz is also pretty good

2.5C @ 1900m on the Duffey yesterday looking at some weather station data

'reasonable' definition notwithstanding, and within $10 being totally reasonable, I'd probably just pay the asking rather than try and haggle over such an insignificant amount and have done so one...

although I knew that, I never remember when that is, so nice to stumble into it today! Ended up doing 2 lowers and a full.

very firm this aft, also very windy and snowing. Weasel and Fallaway both groomed on DMD though, so that was nice at least

sunday, could be goodish....<crosses fingers, knocks on wood, anti jinx>

sweet terrain, fixed grip lifts, less snow than WH20, chill vibe, fun place to ski!

sun has been nice, and I've had a couple of Sundays in a row taking Jr to the magic carpet with the wife for the first time so that's been good! starting out slow and he seems to be taking to it!...

I also lol'd at that, clearly they haven't been since pre-pandemic

short or long term?

Can't say I've got a backcountry pass in decades, personally...that being said I think Vail has certainly continued to tighten the protocol over the years and I guess their perspective is that they...

got up Whistler yesterday aft and the turns were really decent, have done the Sunday afternoon storm day trick a few times now and it's worked out for me with the lift lines thinned out and and winds...

I think I broke 2-3 when I had pivots a bunch of years ago

TBS bike parts out of Canuckistan also has full 12 speed shimano line of ders. right now too it seems

Yup, but more recently (currently) they're (WB/RMOW/DOS/SLRD) not in support of Garibaldi at Squamish (right resort for the right place questions notwithstanding) even though it is supported by the...
