New Deathwishes got mounted today with Shifts. They'll be a resort and side country ski. Here they are next to my DWTs.

I'm so stoked to ski them.

Not that I care how fast I ski or how fast anyone else skis, but does GPS account for slope angle? Like if GPS is registering 30 mph and the subject is moving on a 45 degree slope, is the GPS...

I was so stoked on my DWT that I ordered a pair of DW on backorder back in late December. Got a ship notification today that they shipped out 10 days ahead of schedule. So stoked to ski them!

How on earth would subsidizing the housing market and the rental market not lead to an increase in costs in the housing market and the rental market? It's like college loans all over again.

I have a limited understanding of how the real estate world works, but here is what I think I understand-

It may be reasonable to expect a wave of foreclosures if the moratoriums and forbearance...

The bama curse was a serious contributing factor for me moving away from Colorado.

That chart is amazing.

^Thanks, Djongo. Here's a video.

We're having fun on the quiet side.

Today was a good day.

Thanks for the write-up LeeLau. Awesome story.

How much of your portfolio are you actively managing? For things that you aren't actively managing, are you indexing? If so, are you indexing total...

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Any CO legal mags want to take the case an pursue 3x damages? I'm happy to pay for representation.

Just circling back to sing more praises of the Rustler 11s. I skied them today in zero visibility dust on crust which later turned to pow on crust at the Ghee.

I've never had a ski that inspired...

Skied the last couple hours of the day at Targhee. It skied surprisingly well. I'd guess there were 4+ new inches on the upper mountain in the last 2 hours before the lifts closed. Brutual, zero vis...

I'm still waiting on an escrow refund from the sale of my house in early October. I've spent probably 25 hours on the phone trying to track down ~$3k. Wait times have averaged 1 hour each time. Every...

Eliminating college debt will absolutely artificially pump housing and cause housing affordability issues to become worse. I say this as someone who stands to benefit from an increase in housing...

100% agreed that there needs to be education reform before student loan forgiveness.

If student loans are forgiven en masse right now real estate will become even more expansive as the pool of...

I've been getting mail delivered to my house for different people from all over town. My street has a unique name, so no excuse really. It's like the mail carrier just gave up and started filling...

Yep, but if you need crampons go with 120mm ATK crampons. The 108 mm crampons aren't wide enough for the dwt.

Word is that it rained at Targhee today. Could be an interesting rain crust layer to deal with this winter.

Thread bump. This turned into my all time favorite ski trip. I flew into Milan with a co-worker (a dude who reported to me at the time) and we spent a week in the Dolomites before flying to this...

If you find someone who will ship a carbon canister please let me know. I'd definitely buy one.

I think there is some kind of new EU regulation against shipping compressed air via air freight. I've been looking and haven't found anyone who will ship a carbon canister to the US.

Thanks, I'm a huge fan after two days on them.

Don't let dreams be dreams.

Lol, fine.

A really big dump and natural slides to the ground would be a nice way to freshen things up. Would be a bummer for that layer to stay there all winter.

I caught the last hour at the Ghee today....

I had my first day on my 190cm DWTs with Voyagers today.

I'm so, so stoked on the setup. It was also my first day in new touring boots (Zero G Scouts). That's a lot of variables to figure out in...

I had my first day on my Zero G Scouts today.

-I'm 195 lbs, 5'11'', 11 street shoe, sized to a punched out 26.5 Zero G Tour Scout.
Today was an inbounds, dust on crust day at Targhee (maybe 4-5...

I'd put up for the Yeti Author's fund Kickstarter.

Presumably it could be a collection of autobiographical short stories, all tied together with some kind of common theme. growing up with a single...

^By "early investors" do you mean the VC firms who invested years ago? I'd imagine retail investors got in sub $150. LeeLau, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I've said it for years, but I honestly think you should write a book about your life experiences. You may wish you didn't know the things you know, but there is a hell of a lot of value in your...

I dislike wearing down under a vapor barrier like gore-tex. It gets kinda gross and clammy.

I find Smartwool Smartloft to be exceptionally warm as a mid layer. I have this jacket and it is too...

Wait, so do tooth brush holders not count?

Very well said. There used to be a ton more time. It used to be possible to ski bum on a shoestring budget. Not so much anymore.

I don't think it'll ever go back. There is somewhere between 2 and...

Pretty sure Peaked Sports in Driggs does season long rentals.

Maybe a little. I've skied 10 days so far this year and have been in traffic a total of 0 minutes since September.

Just dropping by to remind everyone that Colorado will have a really shitty winter unless Alabama loses hope of winning the national championship.

Meh, Rootskier's delivery must have been off. Didn't seem like much of a joke.

Lol. Yeah, hopefully they get into cross country skiing or something.

This is a pretty impactful podcast- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yujP3-AxXsI

It certainly carries a more positive message than the average TV show. You really can't understand the appeal of...

100% agreed. He's interviewed dozens of professors who teach and research various science subjects from the likes of Stanford, Caltech, Harvard, Yale, Emory, etc. I've also enjoyed some of the...

The spray nozzle is hidden out of sight, behind a garage door of sorts, until it is in use and then it opens and pops out. After use it cleans itself before going back into the garage.

I installed a Toto S500e last week. Had to have an electrician install an outlet in that part of the master bathroom, but once that was in the install was a pretty easy DIY project. It has a heated...

Thanks all. I generally agree that snowshoes are overused. There are often better tools. My parents are very excited about them though. I guess several of their friends have told them that...

Serious answer- I've had sex multiple times in the past 24 hours.

Serious question- how does recognizing issues in society make someone an incel?

My dad is in the market for snowshoes for himself and my non-skiing mom for recreation use. Both are in their 60s and are hoping to use snowshoes for some leisurely hikes in snowy areas....

I honestly don't follow the logic that they (Joe Rogan, Jocko, Jordan Peterson, David Goggins) are responsible for "toxic" behavior. I also don't agree with the idea that they promote right-wing...

Every day in the US, millions of people carry guns that they have no intention of shooting. Wisconsin and many other states allow all citizens not convicted of a felony to openly carry firearms.

I'm not sure I agree with some of the assertations and connections in the article.

Kyle Rittenhouse is certainly misguided- he committed a crime by being underage and in possession of a firearm....

Ah, gotcha. I'd be really interested to hear your take on a comparison when you ski them both.

Sweet. How would you compare the M Free 108s to the Rustler 11s?

I think I'm going to widle my quiver down to these three skis.

-188 Rustler 11s with Shifts for resort/ sidecountry

-190 Moment DWTs with Voyagers for backcountry.

-179 Liberty V92s...
