Clicks, views, and comp results are how we have decided to distribute resources: money, free equipment, film trips to one athlete and not another. If someone isn't taking the risks, someone else will...

I know nothing about the logistics, but it seems like most of the ski exploration...

The films have been cringe since I saw them growing up (Cold Fusion/Impact) and probably before. Yeah, every movie is trying to plug their sponsors and the free heli/lift tickets they get, but WME is...

Not to derail this thread further but last UA podcast appears to be from August.

Scott Johnson's new company launched sometime in late September?

It can be done as a day trip from the main highway in Canada or a more "casual" long weekend. It is on the 2nd highest mountain in the range. You can't see it from the road, but you can see it from...

Michael Wirth grabbed a solo descent of the Comstock (the 2nd?) with a day trip in early April. Looking forward to the Canadian content in the next episodes.

would also recommend Panorama if skiing on a weekend powder day. Less crowds.

If they can find a way to contrive some airy bootpack at whatever venue they use and get some good drone shots, it will make for some great TV or highlights. The top guys are absolutely pushing their...

I've been chasing XP and route badges, but since I do some racing I realize my mistake was not going for the tron. Still about 13000m short. Not much for upgrades after the Canyon and 808's until the...

A trail bike is faster than an XC bike
It's worth it getting the right wheels and drivetrain on the bike from the get go and selling the old stuff to some chump rather than constantly replacing...

another spring of punters playing whack-a-mole.

Were the ski resorts able to recruit enough staff? Is it viable to operate less lifts/terrain/indoor spaces if it means resorts can survive with just local traffic? A ski season with just the...

There's lots of opportunity in Canada for a skilled guide to step it back (or not...) working at the ski touring/heli/cat lodges but that means weeks and months away from the family. Guiding the...

not wanting to drag this further off topic (but since my girlfriend hasn't updated her address on her drivers license...), but hypothetically they would use the drivers licenses to verify who is in a...

I have heard that the cases with a built in external battery trick the phone into thinking it has more battery life left.

I go back and forth between a Bontrager with 108 POE and an 18 point DT swiss star ratchet and I don't notice any difference

I found that I had mixed success with even being able to get winter shoes on. I had success with Defrosters, Wolvhammers, and Scott Heaters.

but not with the original Bontrager OMW, Diadora (or...

incredible, Luke!

it's funny when you pass a couple of them, and get to their leader, who can hear you coming up behind and thinks that you are one of his buddies and sees that as a sign that he needs to speed up....

Yup, you're supposed to have pro-deal on everything which erases the store margins, but you still claim that you support the local climbing/bike/ski store. Or money is no object and only stingy...

how is the "put the boots on in the lodge" crew going to function this year?

Speaking of old white people who think they can afford private health care, is the border closure reciprocal? I think once first cold snap hits, the snowbirds (aka old people with money who vote)...

The no grouping-up thing will be interesting. skinning to Goats Eye or Temple will probably be a key strategy on powder days. Otherwise lift capacities should be able to handle it once everyone is up...

American commentary trio: "iT wAS tHe DrONe". No, it was some badass Polish guy who remains an absolute machine at altitude (Elbrus ascent FKT) who did something radder than Lhotse couloir on O2,...

This guy is somewhat local to me and does biking in the summer as well.

Someone brought up this channel earlier for more high end stuff...

I'd like to rant about how cassettes are $200

I find I am noticing that I am willing to spend more time on the road of course increasing my risk of getting hit by a car rather than deal with the coast, brake, stop, go, weave passing joggers...

Maybe it's not a black/white situation andpeople need to slowly wean themselves off skiing and get closure on the season. Or they see that nothing will prevent a full on lockdown like in UK, France,...

Let people get out ONE last weekend (or maybe that last weekend was Mar 21, 22) and then go full lockdown to put this virus to bed. I found some of the #stayhome messaging coming from people who were...

Have an OR Ferrosi and the BD Alpine start, and I much prefer the BD Alpine Start. I find it gets less damp

when does a simple day trip become a mission? are you trying to convert the non-believers?

add to the list:
coulee
pack (referring to the snowpack)
pieps

I'm curious about the process as I would eventually like to start a youth development club wherever I end up in a couple of years, but for skimo racing.

I would think some necessary steps would...

Too late, family just cashed out in Whistler and Canmore and used the profits to buy up the rest of the undeveloped land in Valemount and Blue River. Snooze you loose.

It's a thing. When I have a family, I'm going to book my ski vacations at a place that...

until your ashes are found in your burned out camper? :eek:

I think it's worth paying for if it's a good route. Just the right steepness, no blind rolls, not a meandering cat-track, even better if it's a roped off lane.

at least summit at LL is only a 1 person lift but old maps say it was a t-bar back in the day? Riding a steep t-bar with another person is worse as the "inside" skis of both occupants inevitably jam...

I once clubbed a helmetless ski patroller being pitched forward by his backpack in the head while lowering the safety bar

Lake Louise for sure. Sunshine if Delirium dive is open and you have beacons, skip Norquay.

anything out east. I saw Whitefish was mentioned, but I think has better skiing than Kimberley, Silverstar, Sun Peaks, and Big White.

Maybe there's a bunch of racers around here getting free skis around here (CDN rockies), but it seems the going rate for race skis with a bit of edge left at ski swaps and consignment is ~$200....

kinda disappointed by what's come up. Was expecting more 90mm ish millennium era classic daily driver. Bandits, Dynastar 4x4/intuitiv, pre wizard/budha explosivs, etc.... Because there is a guy at...

this one always seems to come up as people's favourite films. I need to see it!

Say they get their insurance cheque, and the police give the go-ahead to get back in there, what sort of lead time is there for 30 gondola cabins and a new haul rope install? Back in action next...

They could use their platform to inspire us Joe's to reduce our own footprints. Carpool to the hill, ski tour instead of heli/snowmobile, explore deeper into the local regions instead of flying...

or I feel like once Messner did it without oxygen, a new standard had been set and that anything less should be given similar coverage to a high school basketball game, not the media...

Spend the time in the Columbia valley, "summer" skiing in the Purcells, MTB in Invermere, Golden, Fernie, and Kimberley.

On Friday, Village to Village Spearhead Traverse FKT, climbing up from the bottom, was set to 6:27
