Do you always climb in wife beaters? That's bad-ass!

Maybe check with one of the 100 ski shops in the area? :D

When do you leave? You never responded to my pm.

I've got an XT bottom bracket (octalink), yours if you need it. What are your dimensions?

Raspy's?

hope it reloads for tomorrow!

What's the deal if the old holes have plastic plugs inserted? Should I drill 'em out with a smaller diameter bit than I originally used to mount?

The steel Grivels (G10) with the wire toe bail fit my tele boots really well. They don't work for shit on my AT boots, though (Denalis). I haven't tried them on alpine boots because I have no...

Gotta go with Carl's.

Lift lines are not the issue here, dudes. It's parking, traffic, not getting a fucking table at apres, and to some extent, sidecountry shots.

Who rations their Vail days? Who will visit Vail...

Perfect Pack = Osprey Switch 26 with an integrated Avalung.

Done deal.

I know, I work for one of the entities opposing both the Ginn and Minturn application in water court. You're right, they get to use the full 7cfs diversion, but I thought the UERWA (VA?) is opposing...

One more thing: This project does not have the water rights to build out, so acutal development could be limited by that. Bobby G's got some great lawyers though, water doesn't flow down hill, it...

I'm referring to adding climbing lanes and improved shoulders/bike paths on 24 south of town to mitigate the traffic impacts caused by the development, whose employees are presumably coming from...

Sure about that?

He's building Minturn a bunch of new infrastructure it desperately needs. But at what cost? If he doesn't have to widen Hwy 24, it's a total loss IMHO. This guy has more money than God...all of...

Let's face it, Keystone and Breck fucking suck. The 10-day Vail/BC limit is the only thing keeping weekends (somewhat) managable. No need to ration days = more fucking people here. Good-bye...

Nice work, Magellan! :D

In light of the 750 unregistered people viewing this site right now, I ask that you do not go into such a high level of detail when describing such 'stashy' areas. The...

Not even the best song on the album, but thanks for playing.

Bob Weir :D

Seriously,

Bono (not a U2 fan but his voice rules)
Plant
Levon Helm
Ronnie Van Zant
Greg Allman
Van Morrison

I got tubeless wheels in the spring of 2004. With UST Tires and sealant, I have had exactly three flat tires since then, and probably ride more than you. Currently running 2.35s on crossmax sl rims...

Are you saying there was a suncrust on N. facing shots on Gold Hill or did you park at Clinton Res and access it from that way?

Not songs, but albums to check out:

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

Dylan - Nashville Skyline has some good ones too, "One More Night," "Tonight I'll Be Staying With You," etc.

No Barry White...

I think Tower 4 on the Vail gondy has a camera. Smoke accordingly.

Closing day the past few years had USFS and county sheriffs with german shepards and the party kept on going.

Newsflash: The purpose of the interstate highway system is for interstate commerce, not so you weekend warriors can get to Vail in 90 minutes.

Finding ideas to solve traffic congestion aren't a...

I'd figure out if the riding in Aspen is any good for SS-ing before you go that route. Or, you could go that route and just make it into a townie. Up here, the riding is 1-1.5hr of low gear...

They only came in 189, but thanks for your help anyway.

Damn, I'm tempted by these boards.

All CO and merchant passes are blacked out = Vail won't be that crowded this wknd.

Carl's in Avon

949-4354

Isn't 40% off retail slightly higher than dealer cost, i.e. slightly more than they'd wholesale the item for anyway? So how exactly are they losing money with the discount codes?

Nice pics.

but,

Maybe a little too much information?

Eagle County is very hard hit by the pine beetle epidemic...Red Sandstone area north of Vail especially bad. FS and TOV have partnered to do some logging on parts of Vail mountain above West...

That montanaskier story cracks me the fuck up.

Do you guys really bring avy gear out to the bushwacker area?

From the Gondy side or from the Dealer's side?

Either way, ending up in the wrong spot happens, it's part of learning the vastness of Vail. I hope to ski with ya some day, I like to think I know...

That doesn't even make sense. If it's classified information, then that's cool, but if you mention something you should explain it.

pm's work, too.

Where did you get busted for ducking a rope? Frontside radness?

He asked Hurley something about the people he presumably left behind on the island, I think. Either way I was disturbed.

I was also freaked out by the 'lawyer' dude that visited Hurley in the Looney Bin.

I've been confronted with this same issue at another Vail bar on closing day a few years running...thankfully, I start drinking at 11am on closing day and 9pm is my 'last call.' Though apres doesn't...

Good question, she fails to mention the whole "throwing dagger to the back" thing. Speaking of Naomi, I thought the island had healing properties, how did she die?

Hurley has been bat-shit crazy...

Agreed. Disappointing episode.

Hope next week backfills some info.

To whoever said we don't have ice in CO....I haven't seen the asphalt on my street since early December!

And,
I was taught that lockers are terrible in the snow...is this true? I've seen some...

yeah J!!:yourock:

Looks promising outside my office window in Avon. Sideways nuking. :yourock:

edit - must've just been a squall, looks like it's clearing? :mad:

Seeing the Disco Biscuits the other night made me feel the same way...only a handful of bands have blown my doors off; phish did it more than anyone else. They did start sucking after '98 or so.

I *might* be looking for a good man or woman or two for back/slack country sunday. I'll keep checking in.

I'll take that two night run at the Gorge in Summer '97...whoo boy! :yourock::yourock:

Twin tips hook on crusty snow, are a pain in the ass to stick in the snow vertically, and can't cut a reutchblock for shit. That said, I haven't found the desire to put a table saw to my expensive...

Welding your own frame, to me, is like take and bake pizza. There are plenty of people out there that do it for a living, give them your geometry and measurements and you can say you 'designed' the...

By heat are we talking spiciness or temperature? Probably tough to find the sweet spot.

Best prank call ever is the Badonkadonk one from crank yankers.
