How long is the hike up to Super Bowl?

Fuckin hell, that's nightmare fuel.

Local shop has an infrared Wintersteiger waxer I was able to fool with once. The claim is it allows for better wax penetration, not sure about the veracity of that claim, but it was easy and fast to...

Decently busy at MHM this morning. I think the throng was anticipating a day of schussing under clear skies, which didn’t materialize until about 2pm. Surprisingly, they opened cascade, and upper...

Yeah, lines at MHM were a little soul crushing to start the morning. Lots of deep spots for sure but this dump is starting to be the more typical Mt Hood snow, not as light and dry as the last...

Fine! I’ll do it.

Have you talked to the teaching folks at Meadows? I've participated in a couple of their clinics over the years and they're always telling me I should start getting involved in their teaching stuff....

God damn, way deep at MHM today.

Skied Thursday and Friday at Red Mountain and had a fantastic time. It was on the heels of some new snow the previous day(s) and there were still plenty of spots holding fresh turns. It was pretty...

Local shop had a buckle that will work. It has one mounting point instead of two, but I don’t think it’s going to be an issue. Comparing it with the boots they had in the store, I’m guessing it’s an...

The answer is, not really. The holes for mounting the buckles don’t line up with the holes in the shell. More importantly the buckle digs into the shell a fair bit when the buckle is tightened. ...

Could be the best $49 I’ve ever spent on a lift ticket. Visibility made it interesting until it got dark enough for the lights to create shadows but it was face shot city.

I ordered one so I'll find out soon enough. I have to try something, my buckle is quiet quitting.

Does anyone know if the full tilt buckles will work on a dalbello panterra? My upper buckles are starting to bend out and I can't find any place that carries replacement dalbello buckles.

On the bright side, at least MHX isn’t on wind hold (yet).

Weekends are a tough pill to swallow if you’re able to ski midweek, even on a day it’s dumping. It’s amateur hour on the roads and the lift lines are frequently a total drag. The line at MHX...

I can't say I'll be an early adopter. Maybe it'll be a great a development, but I'll wait and see.

It never fails that my favorite days each season at Mt Hood Meadows are storm days. It's usually windy as hell so the lift rides are cold and shitty but it keeps the crowd to a minimum and as you...

Heather didn't end up opening last week.

But the French are assholes.

2018/2019 4Frnt Devastator. On pow days, a ski with more float could be fun but these are fantastic in the chop/crud that seem to be a regular feature of skiing in the cascasdes and I still have fun...

The NWAC report regarding the Apr 5th fatality @ MHM is up. Interesting to read the details, highlights the difficulty in locating someone even when they are very close to an area that gets a decent...

Yeah it was pretty damn good out there today.

I love fruitbooting but no way in hell would I want a skate as stiff as my ski boots. That braking system looks, uh... interesting. Jerry braking system aside, downhilling on blades isn't for the...

What they said on OPB this morning was it’s the first time in 82 years of recorded history that there was measurable snow at pdx this late in the year, so likely it was even longer than 82 yrs ago. ...

Without knowing more about the specific location we can’t be sure if he was in an area closed on Tuesday. It’s possible to end up in the creek without going into Clark canyon. I’d be interested to...

They’re all powder skis if you ski ‘em in powder.

Looking at the NWAC telemetry data, it's less windy at Tline today.

I was goofing for sure, I love ski bowl. I primarily ski at MHM but only because I'm able to ski mid-week. If I was having to ski weekends I would spend a lot more time at Skibowl.

Lol, imagine watching the Olympics and having your ethical hangup being what a couple of teenage girls do.

What are the chances she's just trying to keep her family from mysteriously ending up dead?

Is it at skibowl?

This was my introduction to Paak. So much groove you could cut it with a knife.

Should be excellent, started out a bit touch and go this morning but the skiing was pretty great from 11am on.

If you're not getting a medal, face shots on the GS course is a pretty good consolation prize.

Maybe less of them would be skiing out of the course if they got on some Renegades!

Gotos fer sure

I’m not attempting any whataboutism or trivialization. Just offering my perspective, giving a teenager the benefit of the doubt and not assuming the worst. I know this square isn’t on your...

She’s 18, if this is the worst thing she does at that age she’s a better person than me. Not to mention she’s probably being handled by an advisor (or team of them) who’s sole job is to keep her from...

It’s only maddening if you somehow expected the ioc to be transparent. If you had those expectations, you might ask yourself why, there’s nearly zero precedent for it.

The slope percentage is the calculation of rise/run * 100. When the slope is 45 deg the rise and run are equal.

I picked up a used Yamaha THR5 a 1.5 yrs ago in the $100ish range and I think it's pretty damn great. It's a far cry from the modeling amps I tried 20yrs ago. My days of playing in bands are...

They may as well install my headstone if I ever crash and burn like that. RIP

Winter is back at mhm. Plenty of soft turns to be found.

Has anyone made a change.org petition yet?

What, that isn’t how he lost. He was behind going into final jeopardy and missed the question. Regardless, the person who was in the lead answered the final jeopardy question correctly.

On an unrelated note, what kind of wood are the sides of that acoustic guitar made from? Looks wild, or is the sun hitting it?

As far as they’re concerned it is sorted.

Ah, I thought you’d mentioned a Philips tube amp, not the first time I’ve been confused. Nevertheless, $250 for “the devil you know” doesn’t seem bad.
