We were there too! It was stellar. An absolute ball lapping the goods off of Cannonball. I think Profile was skiing as good as any groomer on the East I've ever skied. No speed limit coming down!...

Thanks guy. Not bad for conditions luck given we had to pick our dates in November!
As promised! 15 miles in and out to make the most of a 48 hour window between the blizzard and the fog and rain that ruined it. Grateful to be able to head up there with an awesome crew with the...
Int'l Energy Agency projections estimate that to be on track towards 2050 net zero by 2030, we can get about 75-80% of the way there with tech that's already market ready/proven (wind/solar/etc)....
Selling a 2022 Trek Top Fuel, alloy, M/L size. Full details here: https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3818012/
Great bike but more linear than I like. Would do $2,500 for a mag. Local in PWM Maine,...
Already?? This HAS been hall of fame ;)
Do you think he'd take $4400?
Very first Moment Deatwishes (2011?). Only ski I year after year wish I had not sold...
Nice! Walked up there Sunday AM after a late start, wondering if it was just going to drizzle on us and walked into the bowl as the sun popped blue. Got a nice snowfields run but then clouds socked...
Dynafit Rotation 12's, 100 mm brakes, with the fancy plastic underlayment for reducing vibrations and keep your knees intact whence slaying the chunder.

What's fair on these -- $250? -...
Great pod lately, can't remember where, on how candidates used to be elected in backroom party deals swirling in cig smoke but b/c of that they put out more electable general election candidates. But...
I saw plenty of ripping tele skiers at the Loaf the other weekend who survived on one pole plant alone... these haters need to catch up! ;)
Fly the freak flag!!
Loves the GIF posts, some real live hot skiing action!
She's skied every line in the Chuting Gallery and a bunch of 8,000 meter peaks. As a middling ski mountaineer bro, she's skied a ton of stuff I would be shitting myself on/would never even try/would...
Stellar day at the Kitty yesterday. No wind, vacation crowds beaten out of town by Saturday's wind, and groomers running fast and almost entirely ice-free.

Borrowing one on loan from a pack-making buddy for a few weeks this season. Some thoughts:
-Overall, very good. Super light and seems to have way more volume than I've managed to fill. Appreciate...
Bahaha
I'll def vote for the a6000. I did invest in a better zoom lens than the stock small zoom one (doesn't sit quite as flat in a pack with the lens compressed, but more usable zoom range) and that made...
Just read --- that's the good stuff!

Get it Jersey!
Skied the Loaf Saturday; absolutely mint groomer shredding. That perfect temp where everything was soft but didn't get April-style thick. Magical turns!
Has anyone here spent time on the 96? Curious about that as an East Coast one-ski quiver for the resort. Have a pair of Line park skis I can faff about on in my resort boots but something that digs...
I have but they seem a little tight for winter camping... and a buddy who has one has been plagued with ginormous reliability issues such that he's wary of taking it out anymore.
Yes, a...
It's the best point, I think he 3-4L diesel with turbo would be fine around East Coast, but the layout of these is great and general value is about 3X what a used Sprinter is here.
Yeah was that issues with Delicas and Keis here in Maine but the legislature just reversed course from what I understand.
Yeah prob. my biggest concern. Fridge/stove esp. Part of the...
Poking around for some more flexible way to bop around New England to where the snow is good/have a more frictionless way to pick up and go for a weekend bike or hike trip. Also working towards...
ohhhhhh boy. If I wasn't already doing last week of March at Katahdin, you'd be getting a phone call!
Cirque of the Towers classic loop is pretty easy in the scale of things, one real up 'n over at Texas Pass but otherwise lots of mellow walking to enjoy the views from. Had such a great time there a...
Beautiful stuff! Im sure the pics are deceiving but approaches look somewhat straightforward assuming the roads go high enough. Rad!
STELLAR soup post :).
Let's hope this thing delivers!
Yum! Making me miss my trip back in '19. Similar conditions as now (bamboo still sticking up in places) but we still rode SO much pow.
I would bring touring gear. Lots of easy fun touring, fairly...
I've done the 3M clear coat wrap on a few bikes and it wasn't too hard. Gotta use a lot of soapy water, but I found blasting the tough angle with a hair dryer made the material soften up and contour...
Bought a Rekon off there; nice looks.
Also have a stock of tires if anyone is interested in some deals:
Lightly used:
-29" EXO tan wall DHF/DHR II combo
-29" EXO black 2 x DHF (one 3C...
Ha! Likewise. Taco'ed my front carbon rim in Pemberton and got SO lucky when the guys in the Schwalbe van at the bottom sold me an OEM front wheel on the spot, tire already on, that they just...
Wow. That's incredible! All dug by hand from the ground next to the trail? No roots??
Been working all fall on drainage issues and adding in some fun berms in critical corners and making some...
Nice work -- good luck!
I think the interior program will be more like what Toast experienced.
Chatted with my friend who raced Stone King and wants to do Trans BC this year. Sounds like they...
2016 Evil Following. I had gotten steadily bigger and squishier bikes until I got that thing. Nothing rode like that bike then. Could bounce down Lithium off Teton Pass with 120 mm of travel, hanging...
Would love your feedback. On a Top Fuel, super impressed with it, but it just doesn't have the boing off small little side hits that my V1 Following had. Seeing some V3 Following frames on sale...

Took the advice and steepened up the face as much as possible. This section is on private land, so we need to keep things pretty small and not make the landscape look super disturbed (no...
Thanks Toast
Reading the Lee Likes Bikes advice on building pump track, I read that same advise (steep face for short berms). People are riding over the top of the berm (going outside of it) late...
Nice LL!
After living on pavement for two years in Boston for grad school, moved back to Maine, joined the board of the local NEMBA chapter, and have built up a nice volunteer crew. Very excited...
I *think* (don't quote me) that beyond the fed tax credits, the states are required to have set up their programs to distribute IRA money for electrification, etc. upgrades by end of year and I'm...
Damn! That would suck. Hope community can pull together. I imagine there's some grants around... have y'all talked with local land trusts?
The jump lines were way fun. That big choco chip rock to...
Indeed. One thing about Falmouth/Blackstrap is that there's just enough vert to make it super fun. Bustamove is a riot and it's maybe 150 feet of vert and 1/4 mile long. Other side of the road has...
Good to hear about the new stuff! Moving back from Boston next weekend and gonna be helping pick up some of the trail work slack at Blackstrap. Hoping we can work into some permission to overhaul all...

I have really dug that exact setup this summer on the bike bike. I have the DH casing in the back, it's been bomber and the grip is fantastic, esp. in the corners. A little less straightline braking...
Got a Trek Top Fuel about a month ago, used, for $3k, 8 series build (alumninum frame). Have not ridden it nearly enough, but enjoying the hell out of it so far and having a very capable 120 bike...
Yeah didn't have the hardware for em. I have a spare SRAM 200 mm rotor I could include though
