liv2ski, thanks. That is what I've gotten for the 2 other owners I've talked with. Obviously every breed has "good" dogs and "bad" dogs, and you can't predict the one you'll get. But if the standard...

Anyone have or have experience with a Chinook?
Our family is looking for a new dog after losing our Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever in December. Seems like a cool breed with the one major...

You asked for info. I gave you what I thought was relevant info. Not a high horse. If you disagree, that's your prerogative.

Are you that starved for powder that you're willing to risk it? That's one of the deadiest spots in the Wasatch and the UAC continues to urge caution on the PC ridgeline. Look at the number of...

Do the race that excites you. You can train the downhill running. Do hard long downhills. They will destroy your quads the first few times, but muscles will learn and adapt. Worst that happens is you...

The three bears races are tiny. In an ultra it can be a huge boost to your morale to be around other people. The course up there would be nice, but you can prob find some others with more people...

Training for a 50k is not that much different from a marathon. Look up any of the million marathon training plans online and just make the weekend long runs 20% longer. Hopefully it is obvious that...

UAC had posted a pic in their Insta story of upper/east bowl in Alexander going wall to wall 4 hrs ago. Wonder if this is another or a delayed call out for that.

Hoping this doesn't end up as terrible as it seems.

It finally snows and the mountain is skiing soft for a change and you want snowmaking and groomers?! Can I suggest the "east coast roll call" thread and a move back to CT so you can ski Mount Snow...

I wasn't saying to feel bad for the fund partners. Nor do I feel that bad for the college endowments. They have grown their AUM incredibly in past 20 years and yet tuitions have only gone up. Some of...

This is 100% true. Yes, funds have a lot of money from wealthy individuals and the fund managers, but college endowments, pension funds, etc are very large investors in the hedge fund space.

UPD admitting they f'ed up on Sunday with the whole BCC closure:

"The Unified Police Department announced on social media Tuesday that moving forward, accident vehicles that end up in Big...

Buke, I like a dark full bake like that. I saw a video somewhere where someone baked a few loaves of the same bread with the lid on for different lengths of time. Lid on longer I think, should result...

We just got home from the day at Soli. Some traffic this AM, just 15 min longer than usual, but getting there at 8:15 usually gets us front row and plenty of time before the grom's race team starts....

Was nice to drive by the half full Collins lot at 7:15 and park with ease at the summer road. Fun day lapping Black Bess, Freeland, and City Rocks. Someone skied over a roll and pulled out a pocket...

Shredhead, sorry for your loss. He looks like he was an amazing companion.

As someone who moved out here 10 years ago from a region of lower snow, I when I came had no context of what "avalanche" looked like outside of the scenes in Bond movies of huge powder clouds...

Worst that happens if you get a flat loaf. Why not try. Dutch oven is how I bake all my breads.

Here's a link for you: https://truesourdough.com/18-ways-to-make-sourdough-bread-more-or-less-sour/

I had heard the bit about a low hydration starter vs wetter starter affecting sour level....

Despite not knowing any of you, I appreciate having this space to share those emotions that pets can evoke within us.

Out story is over. Yesterday morning, I let Fenway out. He didn't come back...

Stalefish, can you give me a primer on this? I am a noob, but luckily a noob that started buying in March and got to my full size by late summer. I have my stuff on the exchange. I get that I...

I get that. I don't feel like with my dog, at least, that we're just trying to squeeze out a month or so. He is still chipper on his walks. Wants to be around my 8 and 4 y.o. when they go out to play...

Their snowmaking system broke. It was a terribly dry start to the winter. They were spinning Eagle on Sunday so obviously trying to get that open. Snowmaking going on multiple runs. We just hit mid...

My dog's has been same about eating, i.e. always leaving a bit, skipping a meal here and there.
Last night he scarfed some white rice and boiled chicken. So hopefully we can keep him going with the...

Anybody have other suggestions like this baby food one from up page a bit? My dog seems spry and happy, sleeping more and some loose stool, but won't touch food. He sniffs around the kitchen and my...

What recipe are you using? I have had some wonderful Rye results and one or two that were like doorstops.

That would be incredibly tasty as a roll I would guess. Need that crunchy crust and strong topping in every bite. mmmm.

From your initial pics it doesn't exactly look like your first loaf collapsed so much as the score became indistinct. The loaves can expand a lot from oven spring, and the primary purpose of the...

You can use the finger dent test. If you push your finger into the proofing dough, I usually put a little spot of flour so my finger doesn't stick, and the dough comes back to original position or...

If you are making rounds, I do like mikey b and don't score most of the time. Just proof with the seam down so when you flip it out and into the dutch oven the seam is on top. That gives a natural...

My contribution to the dinner tonight is complete. Double fed levain. This recipe makes the silkiest dough.349907

Sunday loaf.
My standard is a riff on FWSY’s country blond with a bit more whole wheat and rye.
It’s dinner with soup most Sunday’s once cool season returns here in UT.
Soup this week is...

They did a similar things this summer down there with the fires, didn't they? Closed all access to the national forests. So in theory not unprecedented.

Reputable boot shop just put me in next year's Fischer RC4 Podium GT 130 VFF over the Atomic Hawk or the Salomon. Its a new for next year consumer version of the RC4 race boot. With the vacu fit it...

Rode up with head of lift ops @ Soli this AM. They said yesterday there were ~3600 tickets in use there. That was similar to big powder days last year. Of those 3600 about 2800 were Ikon passes....

I pulled into the Butler TH @ 8:15 no issues; plenty of open spots. Lapped NE facing shot into Butler Basin for 3 hours. Tits deep. Sun was in and out, more in till 2:15 or so. No noticeable dampness...

I was guy with Renagades in line with you for the open this AM. Hope your day was as good as mine! Safe drive back to CO.

No pics. Too fun to stop and waste time. Great day.

There is a pretty standard skin track up that drainage. You will stay east of the knob (where the tree of Mt Oly Wild is) where your skin track kinks west. Most people then ski "the ramp" which goes...

Those were mine. Inserts were for a 315 bsl. Tele mount was hammerheads for 27.5 bsl.

Glad you had a positive first experience. Know that everyone who has gone from alpine to tele has had that awkward first day. It is dangerous that you realized you could ski the set-up alpine style....

I went to Raro a year ago to get away one last time before we had our first kid. It is truly a place for just relaxing. My suggestions:

-Rent mopeds - no need for a car, island is super easy to...

Such shitty news! Craig led the field day of my Avy 1 course last year the day that ALX88 got caught on the other side of Kessler. Craig was so knowledgeable, but so approachable and willing to share...

Shoots used 6 times. Mounted once/currently for the 900s at BSL of 295.
Bases and edges 8.5/10
Topsheets have 1 or two minor chips

Bindings missing one AFD on each toe (make your own) Brakes...

Gone.

Loren took 6. Jersey taking 2. Friend took 1. so I am done. Thanks guys.

To the party that followed my skin track up east Kessler ending with a scaling of the rock cliff between the east face and catcher's mitt, my bad! I hadn't been up there before and couldn't find the...

Not to undercut schindlerpiste, but if you don't want to go up to PC, I live in SLC and have snowbird 2fers as well. $85.

the coreshot I put in my new skis is longer than the snow they received overnight. I want Dick Bass to pay for the repair since their phone line said 8-12" would fall during the day.

Day 2 of my Avy 1 course today. We dug a pit at Catherines Pass. Did a compression test and got a CT13 Q1 failure on the facets above the ground. Then we booted up Tuscarora and remotely (and...

They need daylight for firing the artillery, i think.
