Archaic at best? Maybe.

I put 5363 on an 800 and sold it. Guy still has it and literally didn't do anything to it so far. A buddy put 5500 on his and then sold it to a guy who still runs it. Dependable motor and well...

Snows less, no more hike up Pearly Gates, new DPC, not a red center pole Riblet in sight, more lifts/acreage, open boundaries and roughly 100,000 more skier visits annually compared to 1994.

Well that's a rare sight.

Thanks. I'm skiing, my buddy shot those with an iPhone 11.

Just spent a few days poking around Tyrol. Hadn't been there in several years, forgot how much I missed the place.

Thanks for posting that up. I've always been intrigued by that place.

There's a lot to ski around Missoula that doesn't involve Snowbowl. Spend a morning drinking coffee and pouring over maps/Google Earth, find your zone and then go out and explore. If you wait around...
