Glad ya had fun in our little corner of the world

I only wanted my revolt 121's after the first lap, then the 110's were plenty the rest of the time. Just silly good day up there, and the best part was basically zero lines right after opening.

was fucked up good at the basin yesterday. Even areas that the wind scoured a bit got better as the day went on and snow moved itself around over it. Much colder snow than what I heard breck skied...

Yeah we've had literally all of them in the shop with one broken thing or another haha. Cool to chat with them all and it's been good for business!

kids are absolutely sending the venue even with...

Yeah I hear ya. Guess lucky me that I have a whole shop at my disposal. Suppose we'll see how this new bike holds up in that regard.

Just curious, why an annoyance?

I'm diggin the new altitude color above, but I sure as heck ain't gonna have mine (which comes in a week or so yeehaw) built with color matching decals, still think that trend is tacky. Also will...

Those cabins made me think of the super awkwardly placed airbnb at the loma i70 exit next to horsethief. So out of place, bet it's cool inside though.

those are ski specific skins from a couple years ago...



Yeah they're kohla skins, super nice. Just rebranded for armada

yeehaw

not really a rant, but if any of you bike shop folk have a chance to go to Sram Tech University classes, do it. I was at a two day class in colorado springs the last two days and it is extremely cool.

I just started getting alright at it within the last year or so (after a few years of learning), usually have on my more experienced mechanics take care of wheels for serious riders just in case....

drive? ha, peasant.

Wind did it's thing to the snow in Breck, still some absolutely great skiing out there though.

new price, want em gone

Deep blower skiin in Breck yesterday. Was actually cold, too, considering how warm overall this winter has been.

The AXS dropper is awesome, probably my favorite part of all the AXS components, mainly due to the "lever" having such good ergonomics where all you have to do is barely push it to use it. The bleed...

HOW DARE YOU


haha, it actually skied great today, the 4 inches and wind did its magic in the right spots. There are still a lot of wrong spots out there though

Joined the league, so stoked this is back. My PB name is hi-dr-nick

I'm down to make a wager/have prizes.

apparently as much as they look like a SC, they're claiming it's more of DW link style layout than VPP. Granted we know pinkbike comments are gonna have a field day with the SC look to the frame.

Now my decision to save our money for a Japan trip and say fuck the basin is a content one.

Heck that’s how it is for me. We start doing more consistent bike service right about now then I have a period in between employees where I’m flipping the store from winter to summer. I can take a...

Well lift tickets are one of the smallest portions of how big ski areas make money, it's largely food/bev. People sure as heck like to buy beers when it's sunny and warm out.

Buddy on breck patrol said they were told they're budgeted for May 12th this season.

Big sky skins are not great, but for $60 they're probably fine. Heavy skins with crappy glide in my experience.

Got to farmers korner from Breck when I heard the basin was closed, so Breck it was. It skied well though, not crazy deep and six senses/south col was variable. Peak 7 was grand when it opened though.

Not often do you see it closed from Morrison to silvy but then Loveland pass is open

It’s a mix of many, I don’t follow them but they pop up anyway, that’s one for sure

already stacking up fast at the basin. Not sure how many of you are on reddit but oh man storms like this crack me up with what you see people saying on there.

hopefully all morning/day thursday

freeze'n and a thaw'n out there a bit. Wacky's was still chalky nice though

iup

Luckily the wife can get medallions somewhat often since she works for BGV if we really want to go. I've been to Japan before and have been pining to go back ever since, while she hasn't been so I...

Well with the uncertainty of what ikon will do to how busy it is at the basin, it'll be the perfect year to forgo a basin only pass to be able to afford a Japan trip. haha

Believe those colors were the design contest winners. They weren't available to order for any dealers for next year.

Possible a shop like Evo has them but that'd be it.

Ha yeah, the pic is mostly just an angle of breck not many ever see.

It’s a cool ski, it’s has some serious pop to it and definitely that swerve style. Wouldn’t be my kind of every day ski but...

Always amazed that for how crazy Breck can be. There’s far corners that give you total solitude for a bit.

All I know is they still can't figure out how to set up the Len lift maze. They keep moving the single line around and then have it converge at weird spots where most chairs end up being only 3-5...

up

Yeah let's all get some laps on a sunday soon.

Breck was absolutely awesome yesterday. Cold smoke right side up skiing. openings on peak 6 and 7 were just incredible.

Something about your bedding in process, installation, etc is off for sure.
