I don't know why she even bothers with X. Nobody in her target demographic still uses that dumpster fire of a platform.

Yeah, let's hope it doesn't fizzle. Wednesday/Thursday will likely be the last hurrah for me because my daughter has three track meets next week.

Got buddy tickets to spare if anybody wants 'em.

Interesting video. Seems like just a wider version of the Echo 106, i.e. a lightweight powder ski, less damp but more poppy than the regular QST line. I really dig the Echo 106 after three days on...

289 posts, all in gear swap. You sell a lot of gear on here.

Really sorry to hear this. I don't need any skis but if there is a Gofundme or something please post a link. Best to your son and family.

Tried to pm you but your box is full. Sorry but I forgot to drop that stuff off at the go-between when I left today. I carried it in my pack all day yesterday though. [emoji38] I'll be back next week...

Yeah it was really nice again today on the north side. Had a great time skiing with visiting mag Dexter Rutecki. He's currently locked out of his account but here he is shredding chalk. Dude was...

I'll for sure be down to ski with you next week. Looks like you're bringing a good storm along for the ride. Here's hoping it doesn't fizzle.Right on, thanks for the photos and nice skiing with you....

And even if your house does burn down they're going to try to figure out a way to fuck you.

Sure, they feed on irrational fear. What percentage of people does that happen to? Think of all the money wasted.

Yeah. Do they teach risk managers that insurance is a fucking scam from birth to death? Know how I know? Look at all the fucking commercials they run.

^^Yah good day. Had a great time with 406 who is visiting with his fam but escaped. [emoji38] Couple south face laps, Dakota Bowl, Snowfield, Three Forks. Saw a goat too.

Ripstick 106 actually. But I believe the 96 is designed identical to the 106, and if you want that narrower width and slightly less weight I think it would be a good choice. I've considered the 96...

I think that would be an good option. Ripsticks are very light and the only conditions they don't handle well are shitfuck and deep chop, not a big concern when touring. However if Salomon decides to...

Yeah well. If we can get our mortgage paid off in the next couple years I wouldn't be averse to self insuring. I don't think our house is worth much compared to our lot anyway.

If you're going to be at Big Sky Wednesday/Thursday I could bring you what I have left of my splat goo. You're welcome to give it a try.

I live in the dry, timbered urban-wildland interface in Montana. House is insured by State Farm. I wonder why they haven't come for me yet.

^^Totally agree. But... In North America, if you see a bunch of untracked powder under the lift or close to it, you jump in. It's been bombed, it's been controlled, you really don't think twice, even...

Why don't you just drive?

Jump to First Unread does not work, however. Strange bug.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240408/f63004eb26efed5904ec3ae9cf597779.jpg

Europeans need to figure out a way to stop the Americanization of their ski industry, fast. If the U.S. can pass laws to prevent China from buying our farmland, Europe can pass laws to prevent...

Yeah that's pretty brutal to watch. RIP skiers. Damn.

The helicopter crash that killed Adam George and others is a pretty awful deal too. Crazy story how that Courage guy pushed those kids out of...

Well, first day on the Echo 106 181 (got a great deal from Ptex1). Mounted Duke PT 12s on the forward line (MTN). Loved 'em from the first few turns. Exactly what I was looking for in that they are a...

Bridger looks awesome. Two inches of cream cheese on smooth groomers at the humble hometown hill can't compare to that, but if it was my last day of the season at GD, it was a fun one. Much better...

13th circle: coffee but no cream, only milk.

14th circle: skiing frozen avalanche debris. For eternity.

UConn rolled the dice by setting an illegal screen on the last play. Came up snake eyes. Nobody can credibly argue with that call.

^^Nice. Looks like Big Sky is getting skunked by this storm so far.

Sloppy game but they won somehow.

I usually get $150 off the cost of my Big Sky pass using Boyne Rewards. Makes the annoying resort tax disappear [emoji2961]. Only thing I would say is check your online account closely because...

March 6

Nice stuff man! I ordered a pina colada. Thanks for the discount.

Looks awesome man!!

You're only allowed to say that after you've skied it. :)



Good question, it's only $200 less than full gold.

Rumors were flying in the Big Sky bars last night that gold passes were going...

Vibes SnowShow. I watched my daughter go through multiple injuries and surgeries as a competitive gymnast. As a parent it was very hard. And it screwed up a lot of our plans. Sucks for sure.

Made the most of the north facing stuff today, couple North Summit laps and bootpacked the Gum Wall. Never skied Orbit before. Selfie is all I got....

KQ--mt opinion--it does not matter where she is as long as the care is humane. The trappings of "nice things" are lost on her now. Don't break yourself financially, you have many years left to live...

Poaching aside, there's so much gaping in that video it boggles the mind.

It's a bot.

It's probably just a RE marketing ploy to get buyers interested.

Ordered that the other day, looks very interesting. Also pre-ordered Beth Rodden's memoir A Light Through the Cracks.

This week the same RE company put an ad in Explore Big Sky claiming Bozeman is now a buyers market.

I didn't have any problem making an Ikon reservation for my daughter mid-March. You make the reservation through Ikon, not through Big Sky. If you just show up without a res you won't be turned away...

She was filming with a GoPro, not a phone. Looked like a helmet mount.

Family first for sure. Trust your gut. Speaking for myself I was having a hard time finding my psych after the awesome BBI Euro trip but a couple really good days at Big Sky last week kinda stoked...

I don't know if I'd call that "close to a complete meltdown." Sounds like a flood of adrenaline receding and emotions taking over, relief in particular. Reading her caption is worthwhile. I do agree...

FYI Discovery lists their closing day as April 7. I don't recall them ever being very flexible about it.

I'll be at BS midweek when you are there, pm if you want to spin some tram laps.

18,000 posts and you still don't know how to post a photo?

Bump. He does have some left and hooked me up today with new skis for about half the price I see online. Thanks Ptex!! theskishop@gmail.com

Somebody give those people a hot cocoa voucher.
