Enjoy guys! Docs say no mas this year, but next year should be a go, hopefully. Welcomed a new blue tundra into the fam yesterday. Planning on parking farther away from airborne tweakers with...

Looks like it was a nice day AC. Wish I coulda been there.

70k tread wear, bone stock ko2's. Additionally, working from home, 80%+ of my miles are to/from the mountain.

The oem Michelins are even more siped, and they're a great all season tire.

I know about siping. Just didn't understand why we're talking about the tread pattern on stock Ko2's.

Yes, and the sway bar. That increases the likelihood of getting another Tundra, although I am sorta on a fence about stepping up to a diesel.

I don't get it.

Finally someone telling it like it is. This is motivation I can work with!

Southwest. Just to the left of the yellow line I estimated for the cops. Yes I misspelled embankment....

Was solo in the truck, yes. Agreed, could have been much much worse.

Got you both beat. See the news about the tweaker who jumped an embankment and crashed into a parked truck in a school parking area at high speed?

Fractured collarbone, torn rotator cuff, ...

Saturday's are out for me (lacrosse games), but Sunday is likely.

Snowed pretty much all day at MHM, though not much accumulation. Interesting conditions. At times challenging and enjoyable. Lower bowls skied better than Heather, but Heather was open. No...

Right back at ya Tap. Sorry we missed you when we left. We took one more run when you came in for lunch so Ry could try his new skis. Wife said she really enjoyed Sunday morning laps. Thanks for...

It involved a nwx turnstile and a crotch. I'm holding on to the pic as collateral.

We'll be there tomorrow as well. Today was great, although I was sad not to get a lap with TBS and Jonesy. Got to meet several mags in person for the first time, and some I even hope to see again...

My son is 10. Always loves to ski with other kids.

In other news, I'm here. Already got non-mags filling in

It's gray during ski season, but dark blue underneath. Nautical blue, they call it. For seafaring men.

Just had a thought. I know some of the lot attendants are pretty chill. I wonder if they'd rope off a few contiguous spots for us under the tube park? If any bend mag has rapport, and is there...

I believe I said "heading to" the lift. I'm fat and walk slowly. But yeah. 845-ish arrival in pine marten line. Blue pants, yellow coat, black helmet. Based on telemetry, summit looks likely...

Good point. I'm thinking of my MHM schedule to avoid the gaper push. Different dynamic here this time of year.

So if summit's open, lunch at noon.

Btw, if it's open, it should be good,...

I got a table I can leave out too, but this raises a good point about breakfast: I'm planning on heading to the lift at 830-ish.

If you need me to cook something up for you, earlier is better. ...

I got vodka if you got the other stuff Jonesy. Bloody Mary sounds good tomorrow

I just like to eat (and cook, and compensate for my mediocre skiing).

You too man. Hey, I don't have an EZ-up shelter with tricky leg weights! I do like food though.

Ok we're here now, so no one's gonna starve. We'll have at least 8 greasy skadootches (burgers... AC knows) for whoever wants one, a pretty big crock pot of my wife's bomb white chicken chili, and...

Planning to leave at 5am and hopefully make it to bachelor by 9.



Ahhh, because you live in Bend. I get it!


Where's everyone trying to park for Saturday's lunch?

If we can get out of pdx early enough on Friday, we'll be skiing all 3 days.

Wow! Surprisingly low sarcasm detection standards for TGR. Must be the full moon?

I hear ya. Back on my all-season tires now. Don't want to be "that guy," especially "that guy with that rented trailer."

Who is camping/RV'ing in the parking lot? It's about the same $$ to rent an RV/trailer or hotel. Given the forecast (trailering considerations), I'm on a camping fence.

I am also getting an "unsafe script" message on Fall's mystery vids.

(can maybe get them directly from vimeo though:
https://vimeo.com/212525272

and

https://vimeo.com/212525836 )

You must not have parked in HRM! (Meaning, I didn't see you guys whilst also enjoying pleasant surprise snow).

Sweet. Thanks Tap.

We'll probably be camping then.

Does bachy allow 1 extra rig per camper? How many are RV'ing in main lot? This could be the event that finally forces my hand on a camper.

I've only been able to ski half of one run because I've been working. Bummed a ride from a chill lifty in exchange for a beer IOU so I could get up to the restaurant where the rest of the crew was...

Does the panorama upload work?

Snow is sticky as shit though. Makes cascade concrete look like blower. Would...

Thanks for really bringing the imagery together. I saw it all

Not Orygun, but stoked nonetheless. After weeks of dry weather in the 50's, I brought snow to Telluride. Guess my buddy's place is close to the gondola. Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow.
...

Understatement. I bet the HPC could sell a few too!

I wonder if this same scenario play out for other indies near their home resorts.

No, much to my dismay. Maybe someone can confirm, but judging by the fact that only the biggest factories are represented, one might conclude "money" is involved. They must have spent a lot to be...

I thought you'd never ask. New location opening in Bend mid April. Best place to eat on any mountain with a crowded lodge.

Speaking of crowds, here's what you guys missed at MHM demo.
...

Pretty crunchy today. Blue skies and 39 degrees at the lodge.

Demo day redesignated Jong rental day.
...

I'll protect you if you want to check it out.

Sunday demo day for me. Will be solo

Kidwoo says to STFU about pow and get your fat ass back on the mountain bike. (I may have taken some liberties with the translation).

It can be if enough snow sticks around

Even when Klauss (or one of his buddies? Not sure) blows the landing, his skis stay on and he's back on 2 feet in a few milliseconds.

Case in point: https://vimeo.com/159438001

Pretty wet up here today! Nice drive in thoughhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170311/6760ab0b1ed2221e78a637413c5a4d30.jpg

I have one that's much worse. I'll post next time I've had too much to drink. So perhaps not possible to post!

And Jonesy, I'm gonna need a hi-res of that for a poster.

With you guys talking about pvc and neoprene, I'm confused. I use my ski gear sitting out on the boat for hours at a time and don't remember soaking through. Love a good gear test though and will...

Yeah... that last pic got me. It's time to figure out how to make the occasional weekday happen for powder emergencies next year. With verizon bringing unlimited data back and a good inverter, I...
