Sharpening my new axe on the ski mount bench. Yes, those are pink strings.
...

Picard season 2 was....ugh. Felt bad for the cast.

You have the right attitude already. Have fun!!

Agreed the horizontal method is best but this wall I have available is in the stairwell and I'd have to hover or find a library ladder to access the skis if they were horz. But vertically I can just...

Yep. Had my first day on freshly mounted Outlaws with brakes last week and this worked fine. Little rearward pressure on the tour switch dish to hold ski while i push my toe in. I love these things.

I need to get organized now that we live full time in a shitty 920 sq foot post-war rambler posing as a cabin. Multiple skis, kids' skis, XC skis, all leaned against the basement wall.

Was...

Make fun of the burns

I like the Burris Xtreme or XTR tactical as I'm budget conscious. Have several pairs and they're great.

Considering all my skis already have 8-16 holes in them, I've stopped worrying about it. If I ever actually break a ski from swiss-cheesing it, it will pay for itself with sweet, sweet karma in TGR...

a common response, but a false dichotomy. I forget it's on and resume being the big pussy I've always been.

Good to hear. I'm gonna need those island coordinates as soon as the plane goes on floats.

I also did something potentially dumb. Bought a 4mm wetsuit. I like paddleboarding and flyfishing off my...

just rebounded from Fake Spring here in NE MN. Got almost 3" new snow at the house. I was worried Giant's Ridge was on a short fuse but we got a brief pardon. Next few days are high 20's to low 30's.

Loving fucking without a rubber but I only XC ski without a helmet. I do love that feeling of 0-60 around the block on a motorcycle knowing i'm one skateboard away from vegetative state. Thrilling....

That sucks. TTips was legend. Thanks for the link.

I read it as a pun on "you people" like when you address a black person and you're a white guy and you use some innocent stereotype then you hear a record scratch and everyone looks at you.

WTF? Did Mitch die?

Made the jump to 22D. Sold the Rottefellas to a fellow mag and mounted these up on my 2009 S5s last weekend. Now gotta figure out how to adjust to my liking...TBH I was happy with how the Rottes...

This is what I find weird as I get used to living here. In the Cascades I could usually rely on some adiabatic cooling from where I lived. If it was 40 in PDX, Mt Hood was reliably 15° cooler worst...

Solid day last weekend with my 6 year old at Giant's Ridge. She graduated to a real chairlift for the first time and was stoked on the peacefulness of it all. Then we heard someone screaming bloody...

Sold

I've made the switch to 22D and I hope they arrive before the freedom convoy locks up the highways. Selling the Rottes.
...

I've got the tele tech toe bug, so selling these.

2010 vintage, 2nd generation. Bought em new.

Size L , blue springs.

Included but not pictured since they're still on the skis are 2 extra...

heh heh. Holding out til they release a 75mm fuzzy lined Croc

Classic dad grunt as you entered the first tunnel. It's the "oh fuck my kidneys" sound.

Damn this thread is awesome. We have some catching up to do I guess. My girls are 4 and 6 and we just got on snow this season. Mount Hood used to be such a trek but now that we're 20 minutes from a...

Yeah that was good. Wonder how much that cost Uber Eats?

We missed the entire first quarter and part of the 2nd because we were streaming the pregame, which is a separate selection on Peacock....

Harry you are the king of Midwest TRs.

It just occurred to me that the entire run of Game of Thrones occurred between my last TGR login and my login of recent.

Really engaged by this heart attack on the plane lady.

I'm still dying over Dog Rickles

Funny to see this thread start out "woo! Hey who's on Instagram, let's share!" devolve into "social media sucks and it's all whores." That's ok, I'm pretty much at that point too. Fucking influencer...

What's the nut? Remind me where you're located?

Good to know, thanks. After sanding my fills flat I decided to just drill out the old Axial 2 toe holes and use them. My reasoning is that the NTN plates held fine despite being partially eclipsed by...

Got a situation here. How far back can I move a toe piece without moving the heel piece and maintain correct forward pressure?

Remounting Axial2s on a ski that previously had them. But I pulled...

I thought it stunk. Started to feel like one of those Doctor Who episodes from the Matt Smith era where the action just gets gratuitous and boring. The rancor biting Mando's helmet? Twice? The...

To be clear...the "pathetic" comment was solely in regard to the terrain. The people in this thread are solid maggots!

Struggling to get up the courage to leave the house and head to the Ridge.
...

This is the most pathetic thread I've ever monitored, but I am glad to be among you.

New, good problems. Anyone used one or more of this combo?

Fischer Ranger 94 FR. Found a good deal on them. Been wanting a mid width daily driver for tele. Also migrating away from Freerides and...

Doh. Thanks for acknowledging me.

We have some disconnects in our communication, probably because I ramble. What I was trying to say it that I want essentially an NTN T4 so i can use it with TTS and all its contemporaries like the...

Moved to Tele is Dead thread.

Oh shit, that ^^ was good. Something about the reggae crowd dancing to Rebel Yell kills me.

Came out swinging but that third row took me like 10 minutes after getting 3 yellows in the first row.

What am I doing? This is so ghey.

I watched the whole thing very closely. Feel like a creep. Good to see the youngsters embracing the old stuff.

Edited.

I'm excited about a shift to tech toe tele bindings. Just ordered some Meidjos but we'll see if they're enough binding for my big meat. What's lacking is a good pin-equipped ultralight boot to pair...

Made a broken binding joke to a freeheeler at the hill yesterday, got a positive chuckle. Asked if they might possibly have change for a nickel? Got a very serious "no, sorry."

Got bored with words and started playing WorLdle. https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/

Today's was pretty challenging, but not as hard as Andorra from yesterday.

My tele mentor was an animal and could totally out-ski me when I was on alpine, and I'm no slouch. When I switched I just slowed him down more...

Initially I imagined my 6 year old positing this theory and then realized your kid is probably older....right???
