What is up with not opening Summit? Hopefully tomorrow.

Nice skin/ski at Mt Hood Meadows yesterday. Had nice views in drive in, but clouds rolled in at about resort top when we started.

Bachelor was a little damp :-) this morning, but managed to find...

Do you have your i-bonds for the year? Can open them in kids SS number too.

I'm waiting on VOO to get to $330 for a smallish buy, $300 bigger buy, ~$250 biggest buy. Probably the same with VYM...

Haven't seen any decrease in traffic in CA and still mid $5 or higher. Read some stations are pricing the high end because most people are too busy to shop around just to save a few bucks.

I...

Cool and inspirational, thanks for posting.

Some San Diego backcountry riding with mr backcountry, Evdog, Friday before last:

With oil/midstreams also down, my brokerage account is getting hammered. Only thing I own that is green for the day is GILD.

Based on my googling, in the late 70's to stop this level of inflation...

^I was thinking the same, yesterday was a wtf.

I got the youth small size G-Form Pro Knee Pads for my at the time 5 yo, amazon had an open box discounted pair for $30. She is not impressed with the all black.

Ha, thanks, I was reading the uphill policy page. So same deal after end of season, I assume. The "Visitors are on their own and we strongly encourage that they go elsewhere." is funny.

Does Mt Hood Meadows allow skinning after they close for the season? I was thinking park at main parking lot, but do not know the area, so suggestions on good or typical route would be appreciated. ...

I only have about 1 week experience in Chile, but I think only Southern Volcanoes would be option that late. Can you shift trip earlier? A few days at Valle Nevado area and Portillo would likely be...

Bike to boot to ski:

Very cool, thanks for the TR. x3 on that couloir.

Good luck on the Highland 550! I would love to do that some year.

Nice work and TR. Double impressive with the temperature extremes you had.

^^^Im not sure what is going on, but at 1 sec into video I see crowd on right side of frame.

Some fun hot powder turns off ACH today. Boot track is in and should be corn cycle tomorrow, get some.

I just waited, hikes with younger in pack.

Never skied Mt. Bachelor, few questions:. I see they reduce open terrain in May, typically keep some of the advanced stuff open? Also short hours typically work well with corn cycle? Using USFS...

Kids and I really like ours. Started the middle kid on it around 2 yo and it really helped her balance on her balance bike...and could go on rides with older sister. Went almost daily during the...

Thought you fans of center poll Riblet chairs with kids would find it interesting that it is possible to have a safety bar, photo from June mtn couple weekends ago:

I also found it...

I have always got a card number to use prior to physical card arriving(AK air & Delta), maybe call the credit card company?

odd they are dropping 3% because "Nasdaq Inc topped Wall Street estimates for first-quarter profit on Wednesday, driven by robust demand for its investment- and market technology-related products...

Nice photos and impressive terrain. If that is the peak I think it is, wow, big day...but got to ask, why not start at skin up Paradise if planning to go that way out?

I use hostgator(mostly just host images), might be overkill for a blog, but not that expensive if you find discount code. I think I can get referral discount, but you can probably find something too.

Looks like Aero can only haul around 9 lbs. Attachment system looks a lot like the thule rack I have, but less burly. I would never use the thule rack on a carbon bike, but works fine on my Ti bike...

From what I see on Strava, they went to top of 22 down to cloud 9 and back up to 22 and down.

I bet it was fun out there today. Snow was really coming down as I was loading the truck for drive...

Looks like Mammoth Cr Park is closed. Is there another park or open school in town with playgrounds?

Nice, I have been wanting to check out Bachelor... seems like a good mix of kid runs and terrain for me. Lodging all 30 min away? Noticed they have rv hook ups in lot.

I almost didn't get out this morning and had low expectations, but oh my was it good. Thought it was going to be dust on crust on anything steep, based on yesterday afternoon. Few firm spots, but...

Planning afternoon Schoolyard with kids if they keep it turning, hopefully couple inches to cover up firm groomers.

First time skiing June Mtn today, with the 6 & 4 yo. Place is perfect for the kids.

Did you put slicks on your Ti bike? Hopefully the heat wave isn't too bad by the time you get inland.

Speaking of k-1 hassle, is there an easy way to see who all should be sending/mailing them to me? Looking at my td ameritrade tax info packet, I'm not seeing anything obvious. Do they all have...

I had Strava going for 7 hours yesterday and used ~40% of battery...on my old pixel 3a. Something might be off in your settings or something. Not that Strava doesn't have tons of bugs almost every...

Worth including link to your TR, Vets. Iceland is awesome.

I haven't been to Bearpaw and is on my to do list, if out that way I highly recommend checking out Teton Pass.

https://www.trailforks.com/trails/art-smith-trail-from-dunn-rd/

That Joshua Tree trail looks really cool.

Mammoth will be still mostly snow, so not sure worth going if you are looking for mtb.

I can pm you some GPX tracks for the not on trailforks stuff. TW should fit the type of riding you like,...

We didn't do Bottom Out this fall, I was looking for the northern section of ledge-n-airy and thought Remnant might include the cool parts I remembered and thought Basil would like.

The new...

I lol every post, but the company is beating the index over the last year, so jokes on who?

Cool idea...I also thought I would be close, but looks like only half way there with 56. Never really had a goal, but mega passes and liking to check out new places might get a few more. Don't see...

^cool. Final payment for condo rental April 9-16 due soon, hopefully they keep lifts out of Canyon spinning. Looks like should be some good runs for the kids.

A few photos from Saturday 3/26...

We were not happy and not prepared for the gate to be closed:

Extra hour walking to trailhead...

Yeah, that was true for us, but did not know it at the time.


It really is amazing how little perks like that help...and how generally unfriendly the US is. Don't get me started on TSA!

I had cans of Cold Smoke beer leak into my t-race boots during a flight and ferment for weeks prior to unpacking boot bag, so have the tele until smelly covered.
Put cans in plastic bags prior to...

Little too warm overnight for BP. Few good turns, but generally pretty manky. Bummer because coverage is great, but will be gone soon unless temperatures drop.

Also caltrans or usfs had gate...

thanks for photo, read that on their webpage. I'm a little surprised it went that fast...bummed they can't make it another weekend as I was hoping to get up there April 3rd.
Planning Mt. BP...

We use care.com and just found our second nanny. They do legal payroll too.
X2 on cost being crazy expensive and not fun being an employer.
