The Freakonomics podcast had a 3 part series on immigration recently, it was quite eye-opening (ear-opening?), and I usually consider myself very well informed on that topic on account of having had...

The vast majority of cake recipes call for a pinch of salt no? At worst that cake will be a tad saltier than it should be.
Sounds like Mrs skaredshtles is looking for an excuse not to make a cake....

Success as defined on a ski forum by buttahflake: leering at people who drive fancy cars while in a state that is the antithesis of anything snow and mountain-related.

Generational wealth takes on a different meaning when it ends up blowing up the house the kids are hoping they'll inherit.

Crews detonate ‘ancient dynamite’ sticks found in Holladay home

Apparently a substantial amount of...

FWIW, I have a pair of Superlite 2.0 on my big skis (Heritage Labs C113) and am loving the setup. They shave a bit of weight, are essentially bombproof (I thought the toe cracks were on the older...

I'll do my best, I certainly ski stupidly enough that it's bound to happen every now and then but the body can't take too many of those hits. Made it home with 0 pain that day on account of eating it...

I will 100% echo this. I didn't get anywhere near as many days as I'd like this season but I got to ski the 187 C113 is pretty much every conditions and I haven't found anything that throws it off....

My front brake lever was pulling a bit closer to the bars than I like on the previous couple of rides. I finally got to it a couple nights ago, cleaned the sticky pistons, realigned the calipers so...

I was a bit worried honestly. It was my first time camping with her, and my first time going back to that spot as a dad. Before the baby I probably did 30 multi-day trips out there with a solid group...

Bwah!

We took our 10 months old on her first camping trip this weekend. Ms Boissal bought a castle of a tent, enough for an inflatable twin-size mattress and a pack and play. When I made it to bed...

This one scores really low but you gotta give props to people who are committed to really seasoning their food.
Behold the quad-ketchup double-soy sauce GOTOS:
Actually you don't get to behold shit...

It blows my mind every day. I feel like she was a super tiny weird looking thing barely a month ago, and now she's a sturdy chunk zooming all over the house, taking wobbly steps, shoving cheese in...

My 10 months old daughter emptied her sippy cup into my lap this morning at breakfast. While staring me down. Looked very intentional. While I was flailing around trying to mop the water up she...

To be fair, I think the behavior probably comes from the fact that most drivers expect bikes on the road to do whatever the fuck they want and follow 0 rules, and they're anticipating that to some...

This has always bothered me, people think they're being nice but it puts you in a sketchy position. It's not easy speeding through an intersection after coming to a complete stop, and usually the one...

Sounds like a great way to start a tour at 0-dark-thirty. Pay $$ to get your blood pressure through the roof, shout at strangers, and get the sheriff involved. I'll stick with the 4pm tours...

I am not a car person by any measure and rarely have an opinion about what vehicles look like but I really fucking hope this isn't what the future has in store for us in terms of esthetics. Those...

That's why it's not something I would ever consider. That shit is actually one of my biggest fears when riding. There are people in the upper Cottonwoods who hate bikers and like to drag big sticks...

Stringing a wire down low seems harmless enough and should only lead to a crash but after getting in a fight with an electrical cattle wire a couple years back I've gained a healthy respect for the...

That cute little ketchup container probably extends the range of that beast by what, 12 miles?
The 2 gigantic spares are a nice touch, good luck getting either off the truck unless you can also...

Dipshits on e-dirt bikes piss me off.
I live by a pleasant little neighborhood park, 15 minute paved loop around some wetlands and relatively untamed treed areas, little pavilion with a playground...

I raise you this specimen spotted yesterday while strolling around the neighborhood. Barely any points but damn, bet this one can get places. And it's up for grabs!

My next reincarnation better be as one of KQ's strays...

Damn, she is sending it!
Watching this put a giant smile on my face, and damn near made me tear up. My little one is 10 months old, just starting to look like she could take a step, and I can't wait...

Ms Boissal and I had to go the IVF route for minimissBoissal to become a reality. The fertility clinic was not close to the house, and smack in the middle of the most mormon corner of Utah Valley....

Every season is different but delicious April pow is a constant. The fact that good conditions are so short-lived with the damn sun makes spring pow that much tastier. And if all else fails the...

Well shit, solid deal, and after holding strong for 15 years I bought a pair of these for next year's comeback to the resort. Downgraded to P15s though, my old bones were creaking at the thought of...

UAC prelim report says 4 caught and carried, damn, that one could have been a lot worse. Firewater is no joke, for such a small bump that NE facing shot is properly scary.

The Brighton story,...

You must have been within 10 cars of me. Saw the guy running in the middle of the road just as I finished loading my shit in the car and got in line to see him disappear around the white pine bend....

Best way down LCC yesterday:

Saw these 2 around 3:15p as I was bailing from White Pine then caught them on the cam as traffic was fully stopped, presumably to wait out 2 bald tires...

110 could be a solid all rounder option, albeit a bit on the fat side.
Can't believe Marshal would only make the 113 for year. Should have stockpiled!!

Gonna recommend the Heritage Labs BC113 here. Just a bit under 1800g per ski in 187, and hilariously fun in all conditions I've skied them so far. I have way fewer days this year than I'd like, and...

That would work. Haven't seen cash in years though. I'm more annoyed at the idea of tipping for the kind of "service" I received. Slicing the meat, maybe, that's some actual work. But ringing in a...

Went to Caputo's a few days ago (high end fine food retailer in SLC) to grab some stuff for a raclette party.
Got a bunch of cold cuts which a dude had to slice to desired thickness. A few cheeses...

SE ridge down to Stewarts Falls? That one is my white whale. So hard to line up right.
Other contender which is very rarely mentioned: E face of Box Elder. Real big, real steep, real long, so...

This is the way. Upper Fergy headwall then Powerhouse or a neighbor. I've slogged back up to exit Stairs as well, better to do that after NW.
I've had the same experience with cloud cover skiing...

Gotta say, the one of the spoon (TwinsSW) is the best beta shot I've ever seen for that area. It's an absolute bitch to get a good look at in person (obviously), and I've never seen such a clean shot...

I've already exceed my quota this year, I think I posted 4 pics in the thread and ranted at least 15 times...

Edit: well that was timely

Updated sometime this morning. A couple...

Thanks bud, seems like it's very much on a case by case basis, I know of at least 1 person who claims their employer was contacted to confirm they were still there. No idea if it's true, and I don't...

She had asked to go to 0.75 FTE a while back, well before this job came into the picture. That still qualifies as full time. They're losing people left and right and are adding positions since...

The language from the link you posted states "Important: You must still be working for a qualifying employer at the time you submit your form for forgiveness."
At the time you submit the form, not...

Those are spectacular shots for sure, and the lens to get that kind of zoom from the Bird is probably not a shitty one, but to get details of the SW scoop of Twins?? What it this, a telescope?
The...

First venture in this thread so apologies if this has been covered or if the question below is not really in line with the tone of the thread...

Wifey has been working for a not for profit for...

Pics I saw from yesterday on Shoreline proper made it looks like a sticky muddy mess. Doubt the sled would be any drier but I haven't been up there personally so...

Pics make it look like upper days, skiers left of 2dogs? People digging in the debris, 50 tracks around. Ooooof, hope everyone's alright.

It's pretty much standard for every significant line in the range to go down within 2-3 days of a storm these days. The wait window has been decreasing steadily, and while I've never had had any...

I hear ya. I used to get 90% of my conditions info from the 'gram, the many self-promoting over-sharers doing such a fantastic job of documenting every corner of the Wasatch... but I had to call it...

Speaking of those, Stairs went down this weekend. Proudly claimed on the 'gram as "first descent of the season", complete with group selfie at the top.
Stairs fletching Gulch. Granddaddy of all...

Not buying it. Risk tolerance aside, you can't not touch the entrance rollover on the Birthdays. Sure, you don't have to ski cut and stop in the middle, but there's no sneaking in any of the 3 chutes...
