Yes, it is the same guy.

Tahoe should be off the chain next weekend. :D

Found a place in Reno that had a medium Ripmo I could sit on, the reach is good no large to compare it to, but need to ride a medium before I pull the trigger. Thanks for the input.

Ran across that map last week also, truly sad that people are so fucking stupid that they think spray painting a map means anything. Mountain biking is getting dusty again, need rain at the very...

Really? I sat on a medium Ripmo and it was tiny, I’m 5-10. Haven’t been able to ride either size since no one around here has demo stock yet, so will have to
wait until spring.

Yeah, get the wheel size difference, was looking at a medium the other day looks nice, larges are hard to find. No way to put a Push rear on it, if you ever wanted to go that way the through hole is...

As anyone had a chance to ride the new Bronson? If so thoughts on it vs the other bikes in this thread?

Don’t believe being too smart was ever an issue at play here.

Well he will probably be banned for life, don’t know about arrested. Heard he ran like a little bitch when the cops were called, can’t take the heat I guess. What is the saying, if you can’t do the...

Martis Lookout may be pretty dry, going West from the 267 gate is probably a muddy mess in places along that road. Was behind T.C. yesterday and the amount of water running and the mud puddles/holes...

Skiing is good at Squaw. Pick your lines carefully as some of it icy crap with some froze death cookies mixed in for sport and some is just flat closed. Like North Bowl, West Face and other stuff in...

Like I said, it is no joke, world class skiing, easy to look at it and shoot your mouth off, different deal standing on top of it. Scary stuff.

A lot of those lines are going off this year. A local Mom showed me a instagram of her son in Pony Express, the other day. We are talking a no joke don't mess up kind of line, that is only skiable...

This is easy, Bellingham for a variety of reasons. I went to school there briefly, and it is a nice town. Lots of mountain biking, skiing is close, San Juan Islands are close, Canada is close. Moving...

Okay, quick note on KSL's marketing. What they say is going to happen, at what happens are pretty much two different things. My guess is will Squaw be open on July 4th, however I wouldn't expect...

So the pass prices for Squaw/Alpine are out for next year. Looks like they may have went up a little, not enough in my world. However, the big move KSL is making is blacking out the Bronze pass on...

The level of skiing and lack of BC protocol out in Muchkins is mind blowing anymore. Had a tourist explain to me that it is safe out there, because no one has ever been killed in a slide in Muchkins....

I found that an arm load of pinecones work pretty well.

I can't decide who is dumber the people who try and take Dog Valley road or the app makers who would include a dirt road as a detour. Someone needs to kick them directly in the nuts.

The stupid...

Was just in the Valley, KT is loading and no one is there, roads are moving well. We just need 80 to close all the time, makes things bearable on the weekend around here.

Reading the weather forecast, I would guess the upper mountain will go down at some point on Saturday and stay that way through Sunday afternoon at the very earliest, Monday at the latest. However,...

Yeah, Monday night I believe. Your guess is as good as mine.....

Word on the street is that the 190+ wind gusts caused Headwall and Emigrant both to derail, however I don't believe much of what I hear coming out of the Valley these days.

Yeah, that sounds about right, as that will fix very fucking little. Many of the people that have bronzes passes try and avoid peak periods like a case of herpes. Many of those people are locals who...

Confidence and Squaw aren't two words you see in the same sentence very often, unless the word lack is included. The app is saying KT at 10, don't know that I believe it, the last foot here at the...

Oh crap, my bad. Need more coffee before posting.

I'm freaked out by that lift ride sometimes and I've been riding it for years.

You aren't going to escape the crowds on Rose Knob. The parking lot across the road from the skin track, has turned into a mini Squaw scene, with half of Reno up there and half of Tahoe.

Yep, 25 yrs in Tahoe and pass holder at Alpine and Squaw for just as long, but I don't know what I'm talking about. Too funny. Didn't have time to do the BC thing, and the reports from the resorts...

That doesn't look too bad.... LMAO. Were the cops out writing parking tickets?

Looks like we have fallen under the light of a communist moon. When you are no longer allowed to critize businesses that directly effect your life without the fear of having your pass pulled and then...

You are one of the only smart ones. This snow is heavy, no where close to powder, it is now good and frozen with the low temps, winds are light but from the East, which isn't good. By Monday, we...

Anyone who would want to be out skiing at Squaw or Alpine today, needs to lay off the 420. It is flat nasty here.

LMAO, I checked the Squaw lift status today on the app and it said that the line at KT was only 10 minutes. 10 minutes in who's fucking world, that lift line is 30 if it is a minute, good gawd. So...

The wind is gusting pretty high at my place, at lake level, so I'm sure the mountain tops are getting smoked. Just because it is a Saturday, doesn't mean the wind doesn't blow.

Would love to see pass prices go up also, however they won't as it isn't about skiing anymore, it is about people eating, drinking, shopping and staying in KSL owned condos and bars and stores....

That would require forethought and planning, I doubt KSL is capable of that, well unless it involves condos.



Whoa, I thought there was no bitching allowed on KSL's facebook page, only stoke....

Do not feel like the Lone Ranger, not many up here have been skiing. Sunday, was sandbags and drainage control. Monday was removing the sand bags, with some snow blowing and shoveling. Tuesday was...

Having skied AM under all three of the last ownerships, KSL is far and away the worst. They truly make me wish for Powdr corp and the dwarf Matt Jenny back in control. God, I disliked that guy. As...

The Magic carpet is better then nothing.... Oh, crap who am I kidding, that is a joke.

Weather forecast is looking better, but have been seeing that for the last 3 yrs. Forecast looks good, then...

You noticed that also... I thought I was the only one. This last storm was falling apart on the Canadian models a day or so before he said a word about it. I have gone back to my old habits of...

You are going to have a hard time getting hard core user groups together to actually discuss this, because a lot of them are busy trying to make a living in the mountains, not the easiest thing to...

So kidwoo's speculation that Snowland has a hidden agenda is irrelevant how? This is such B.S. I don't even know where to start. Many of the lawsuits filed by groups like Snowlands are only a cover...

Okay Dad, you seem like a smart guy, in your opinion is there enough demand for a 1000 condos? Given all the choices around the area right now?

Really, KSL has all the water rights they need? Please tell me you aren't serious. Yes, I agree they do have rights to some of the water in Squaw Creek, however not ALL of it like one of the KSL...

I have seen many good reasons why KSL's plan has as many holes in it, but here is a big one. Water, there isn't enough damned water in that valley to support that many more condos or hotel rooms or...

First of all they are NOT going to hold an airliner full of people for ONE person, even you. I could go into all the reasons this isn't going to happen, but you probably don't want facts.

Anyway,...

Ok, here we go. Despite what your Mommy told you, when you break the rules there are repercussions, to your actions.

Nice work, thanks for sharing.

Grew up out in the Maple Valley, Enumclaw area and skied all over the PNW for years, even skied Whistler when it didn't have a "village", anyway mountain closest to Tahoe is Crystal, but it actually...
