Got some twenty-twenty-three season quality snow in DC this morning. Regretting I could only do one lap.

Can’t believe it’s April

Booting out would’ve been miserable

Hearing there was an inbounds slide at SB. Not sure where though or if anyone was caught

Is the average maggot so old he has arthritis now?

I'm either:* Selling a set of P14 B95s with a broken heel piece (upper adjustment arm is sheared in half), 3 seasons old in decent condition.* Looking to buy a single P14/15/18 95-115mm heel piece

PM'd about P18 B95s

Weitien looked off today before crashing… a couple of shifties and a crash? He was nowhere near as ambitious or creative as he has been in other comps.

Abel Moga sticking a line is sensational,...

I did not like seeing so many hard crashes. Impressed that no one was badly hurt.

Love that Justine Dufour-Lapointe out there proving that the best skiers come from icy hills out east.

I don’t know who has more leverage.

Vail already made their pass money and collected their non refundable fees for lessons and hotel reservations.

Seems like it would be easiest for you to check into an NRT airport hotel and keep your ski bags there before going into Tokyo.

Also, as far as airport fuckery goes, look into how the fare system...

What’s the lowdown on the KW reservation system? I thought the Palisades one didn’t suck and it was easy enough to get week-of reservation releases.

It looks like there’s no gradual release of...

TD is so big it probably can’t be dominated by a single Karen. It’s basically its own town.

Thanks to the no fences rule you can ski laps through people’s yards.

I’m not too worried about SB. So far the VC homeowners have been doing a great job subsidizing low crowds with their HOA fees

Avoid sit down restaurants if you’re looking for a quick meal. Lunch and dinner are 2+ hour experiences. If you want a quick bite, get a kebab.

Why the hell were the ski women relegated to running the Petit Bec?

I don’t know shit, but 88 is managed by a different Caltrans district than 80.

Looking at the current forecast I’d be surprised if they can’t open Carson Pass by Tuesday.

Thanks! All I needed was a time-machine when I asked the question to see the blog post from today.



That's a short run. Hopefully the snow is good for the flippy-spinny riders to shine, I can't...

I haven't been in California long enough to know pre-Vail Kirkwood - last year they blamed their agreement with USFS for closing early. Is that BS?

Anyone have a picture of the comp venue in Georgia?

If you're looking for racer oriented performance then I would say Start Haus.

75 skied nice all day, lower mountain snow made for a good workout.

Thought I lucked out with an untracked on Powerline face but it was wind buff over a thin rain crust.

Got in line for Siberia...

I had to look pretty hard to find a 4WD car rental a few weeks ago, but it looks like there's still a lot of hotel availability.

I'm landing in Hokkaido on Monday! These latest photos have me stoked! Going to spend a couple days based out of Otaru, then following the snow forecast.

What's going on with KT? I thought they'd have enough snow after the last storm to open it up.

Bump! Spots are still available

Because of a wedding scheduling conflict. I've got to hand off 5 spots on a hut trip to Burnie Glacier Chalet this winter/spring. Guided backcountry trip with food and heli-transfer included.

Is 89 around Emerald Bay ever going to be cleared and open, or are they waiting for it to melt?

Long shot, but does anyone in Truckee have some QK or Binding Freedom fasteners for ATK Raiders/Voyagers I could buy or borrow? 8mm flathead, 12mm long M5. I went to Ace and I'd need to grind down...

Ah yes, the Norwegian "ski cut" technique where you end up in the middle of the slope and have to ride out a slide over exposure.

I'm hoping that JDL goes all out for Verbier. After that backflip attempt in her first comp, I feel like she's been holding back since then.

Mostly I want to see a hometown skier who grew up...

You should DM eSock about these

I'm Interested! DM'd

Ah, thanks! I'm looking for the tour version of either ski, sorry my title was ambiguous.

I'm in Truckee and can pick up around the lake, Bay Area, Reno, or Mammoth.

9 seconds of stoke - how much bitching about traffic and parking does that buy me?

Hypothetically, what's the scoring criteria if an athlete gets caught in an avalanche?

I kayak, and it would be rad if Cody and Bjarne linked up with Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry up there. They've done some awesome human/dog-powered arctic ski+ expeditions

Left South Lake for KW at 8am today and we’re still on the road. I knew it would be busy, but this is truly wild.
