Killer shot. That wall is a great background.

Not sure what you do for a living but would you want a painter doing it for you? You do you, let them do them. It's worth it, especially for a two-story. High ladders ain't no joke, especially trying...

I have an Osprey Stratos 36 with the vented suspension and I think it works pretty well for keeping the back cooler on hot hikes. In heat, I used it for the R2R2R hike in the Grand Canyon and it was...

I saw this on FB but didn't realize he was a Mag. Only knew of him through EP and know they were pretty close. Damn, RIP Toby.

Check in with April Needham at the WSU Innovation Center. Great gal and connection for university related innovation as well as connected with the local ecosystem.

Bummer.

Looks like 30% off MSRP. Other conditions apply.

Contact their customer service. I think they used to have some kind of trade in credit if you crash your helmet toward a new one. Probably better deal than f&f.

Just saw an announcement that Silver will open for Memorial weekend.

In honor of Mt. St. Helens day, a bump from the past...

Take your own skis and make sure you have powdered chords streaming from them...

The guides love that.

^^ Correct.

Got 3 more codes today but, today is the last day so, for any of you last minute shoppers, have at it:

Ooops... Never mind, they were the same codes I sent before.

Odd. First I've ever heard of anything like that.

^^ That's never been my experience with Fred. He's always done a great job for me and is an excellent tuner. Generally, I tune my own skis but if I need a base weld or grind and structure, I go to...

^^ Everyone needs a hobby...

FYI - For those of us who frequent Spokane Alpine Haus for ski tuning/mounting/etc., Fred is no longer working there. I don't know where he's going to land but he's out at SAH.

I just looked at his profile. No longer says banned but might just be a self-imposed exile for awhile.. or forever, who knows?

I know, right? I was amazed by the speed, too. It's a killer deal.

All good. Happy to share the deal.

My bindings arrived at my house yesterday, as advertised. Wow, five days total from order to delivery. The Netherlands to western U.S. in that short of a timeframe is really pretty impressive. My...

I do the opposite. When it's a cold ride, I'll wear a ski helmet, mostly to keep my ears warm. Seems like a good compromise to conditions.

I noticed that when I went through their site but if you follow the link I posted, it still shows the same price I got them for. Not sure why that is but, not going to raise the question.

So, I ordered mine yesterday, shipped today, supposed to be delivered (UPS) on Monday. That's some fast turnaround for a really good price on the bindings! So far, very impressed with these guys.

Listing has been deleted by owner.

29 Euros for shipping. Total of €214.95, $232.50 USD. No VAT or US duty since it's < $800.

I missed out on getting a pair of very lightly used P15 Gold last week so went shopping online. I found this today and ordered. They're coming from Euroland but the company appears to be very legit...

Amen.

I've thought about doing this, too. We go to McCall in January so get Brundage and tamarack plus 49 and silver if we want. It's a great deal.

As I noted above, the Ikon is limited for Schweitzer; 5 days with Base Pass and 7 with full Pass. Also, only 49 and Silver are on the Indy Pass so Mt Spokane and Lookout are out for this plan. "The...

The problem with Ikon and Schweitzer is you get a limited number of days, five, I think.

I've heard that inhaling bleach works, too...

For those I gave codes to, one of the users is having problems with it. If you are, try contacting Smith through the website as I have no idea why it may not work but their site can be a little wonky...

I have (3) 40% off Smith codes available if someone's looking. PM me. Offer is good to May2.

All are now spoken for. Sorry for others that wanted in but didn't get one.

Damn, I was 12 minutes too late. Good deals on both sets. Congratulations soul_skier.

Second on the gold if available.

Article in the local paper regarding Loulou.

https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2022/apr/04/ski-legend-loulou-kneubuhler-of-spokane-dies/

We were just talking about Lou Lou last week, wondering how he was doing. He definitely made a mark on the local scene in very positive ways. Truly legendary in these parts. RIP Lou Lou, you'll be...

It was pretty deep in some areas. Wayne's Woods skied about a foot deep with some stuffing going on. Had to poke around but a lot of wind deposit this afternoon. Good day!

There's surprisingly little activity on this thread. Skiing has been pretty good the past few weeks, at least at Schweitzer. Wednesday at Mount Spokane was foggy and they've lost a lot of snow....

You can read it in the blue background if you highlight it as though you're going to copy. It's not that hard.

Gets off on pig porn.

I haven't read this entire thread and won't but it did remind me of this article in Powder (RIP) from a few years ago. Maybe some nuggets in this. Unfortunately, as the article is a bit dated,...

Yeah, add me to the Soul 7 endorsement list. I've never skied them but everything I've read seems to fit your needs. Thought about it last night when I made my earlier post but neglected to include...

Since retiring in July (third try, got too antsy the first two attempts), I've been happy with it this time. Where I wasn't adjusting to life without work before, I seem to have it going pretty well...

Go for a screaming deal. If you demo a bunch and pick exactly what you think is perfect for you, you're wasting time and money. You'll be improving rapidly and what's best for you now won't be best...

Me too.

True. The Navajo nation observes DST.

AZ stays on ST year round, no DST. States have that option, same with Hawaii.

Same here. I used to be a proponent of the longer days/evenings when I was working for mountain biking, golf, et al but now that I'm done, it really doesn't matter. But definitely DST for me as I'm...
