Interesting. Retiring the West End double at Powderhorn will forever change the tree skiing, but the new owners have already said it's happening.

The Black Canyon fire is still blowing up, it's...

I can't get my picture to work but the smoke plume is pretty gnarly. There's also a fire up Little Cimarron Road off of highway 50. Hot, windy, and smoky. Could be ugly for the next little while.

Mrs. Snowaddict has been adamantly opposed to a 3/4 ton every time I brought it up. I finally got her to drive a 2015 F250 today and she liked it so I guess she's on board now. She's set on a 4 door...

Current F150 is a 2012 5.0 with 3.73 gears and 33s. Drove the 13 Tundra with 4:10s (according to dealer) and it drove a little stronger than my Ford, which is a little tired with 190k and leaky...

Re: tacoma, I've walked back a little on that idea and have realized there's probably a reason I've been driving a full size for so long, it just works for what I need.

FWIW I was specifically...

Didn't realize this place was alive again. Anyone here driving a gen 4 Tacoma? My F150 is getting long in the tooth and I'm thinking about a new rig. After owning a full size for over a decade I...

thanks. From my reading it looks like a simple mod to get it to fit the older pedestal, but I just happened to come across a set of pedestals with AFDs locally so I'll probably just swap them.

I...

Looking for a set of fifteen/eighteen GW AFDs if anyone has a spare set. I think I need screws if I'm switching from old alpine AFDs too?

Best day of the season for me, I think, at Telluride today. Gold Hill and hike tos didn't open yesterday so the 13" storm total (plus help from the wind) skied so good.

Help with my hoarding problem:

Let me know if you see anything you need

Cleaning out the shop, I have too many pairs of bindings. Feel free to price police or make an offer.

Yesterday was great, crowds were lighter than I expected.

The lift didn't open until 10 due to mechanical issues but I forgot all about that by the second lap.

Hell yeah

I've been thinking about adding something a little easier-going to the quiver, but this is my fear. I've heard several other reports concerning the lack of durability.

Sending condolences and vibes to my CB friends and mags.

I'll almost certainly be out Monday, maybe Tuesday too.

Is 2011-12 one of the two that was worse? That was the year I learned you could ski the entire painter boy lift line without snow.

Hoping to get some soft turns tomorrow with minimal fuckery....

This is what I'm currently using for this slot in the quiver, but there are two caveats the OP should be aware of. One, this is definitely a "boring" ski. Doesn't bother me, but the OP calls out...

I couldn't resist any longer. Lots of praise in this thread. Time to find out if they can hang with the Bodacious, my favorite ski of all time.

You aren't wrong, but I still think it's a good choice for this application as a Front tire. I too have a love-hate with it as a rear tire. They just don't last long enough.

Vapor Trail? I like the 2.4 Dissector more than I thought I would as a front tire for an XC "downcountry" rig, but I'd be tempted to go faster rolling for a long race. Rekon rear lacks a little in...

No discount here better than an Epic buddy pass, which is like 25% off or some BS. You're welcome to it if you can't find better.

Why on earth do we have four by four hose clamps? The Autozone cashier didn't even ask me if it was two wheel drive or four wheel drive.

Glad you made it dude. Rip a turn or two for me.

Airbag practice came up briefly during my recent companion rescue class and it is definitely something I should do more. It's like any of your equipment, you need to practice to be familiar with your...

I love a good story/guess like this. It was actually the other end of the hose that blew, buried down by the thermostat, under the throttle body. I don't think anything could have hit it from above...

Picture this- you're cruising along at 40 mph on a snow covered dirt road to the local Nordic TH when suddenly your truck warns you that it's overheating. Because you drive a Ford, you assume its a...

Hardly. Just saying I notice the snow tires in warmer weather significantly more than the snows I've ran on lighter vehicles. Seemed pretty fucking relevant to the question at hand.

I'll be working when you're skiing, but beers on me if you feel like stopping on your way through MTJ.

I'll chime in with my experience running Blizzak LT's (LRE) on my Promaster. I'm probably ~7500 lbs or less fully loaded. I start noticing the softer winter tires squirming around 55F. The few times...

I had a hard time finding concrete info about rear seat installations when I bought my Promaster. The big hang up I kept running into was insurance if a crash happened. I didn't get as far as talking...

Man I love seeing the white grass stoke. Never been myself but learned to turn at Snowshoe and that time in WV skiing and biking shaped my whole life. A part of me will always be in WV!

If that's the case, there's a spot halfway between the two that should be perfect, okay maybe a little hot in June but not bad. PM me for beta on what's riding good when the time comes.

Thanks guys. Sounds like these would check a lot of boxes for me. I have some thinking to do..

Anyone been on these and a 186 Bodacious that could compare? Asking for a friend...

Winston/Sanders combo era should provide some entertainment.

That zone is a weird little pocket. The Red Mountain Lodge is right there and as a result, it gets skied quite a bit even in questionable conditions (IMO). There have been a couple close calls in...

Sounds like the NFL should be spinning tomorrow. They were chucking bombs and doing a lot of packing today.

In my Avy 1/2 with Crested Butte Mountain Guides, it was said several times that it could be worse, we could be in Silverton.

Fly into MTJ, ski CB, Telluride, Silverton. Just remember, all skis are rock skis.

The first time I skied with Reed, January 2019, Mallwalker invited me for one of his infamous dawn patrols and mentioned his buddy may join. The objective- the Y couloir. I'd been shut down twice on...

Yes. Mohican is XC, Horn's is lappable DH. I haven't been in years but what they have now is supposed to be very good.

You may find some old videos of Mohican Wilderness DH, but all that stuff...
