Since we have until April 11th to defer do you think the 21/22 pass will go on sale April 12th?

Planning on spending this coming winter in my van (Nissan NV2500) based in Mammoth. I have been living in my van for 3 years but never stayed in the mountains in the winter. Any general tips? I am...

Seems like it would be easy to set up a jig to measure flex. I am thinking you could clamp the ski at a certain point, which would vary depending on what part of the ski you are testing, then use a...

There is no adjustment, it has a spring in the toe. I think that’s what makes it difficult.

Good point. I will probably keep them as is for now. Would be nice to have a pair to beat up or lend to other people in the future.

I am glad you mentioned your experience with difficulty, so I am not crazy. I do always have to stand there scraping my boots to get them perfectly free of snow and find a nice flat area.

Thanks for your input. That means more money for actual skiing! The bindings are set up properly, just seem to be finicky to step in to.

This coming winter will be my 4th season skiing. I bought used demos from Squaw when I first started because it was cheaper than renting. My skis are 2014 Blizzard Bonafide with Marker Griffon demo...

Does anyone have one of these cheap heaters with the dial control? I remember reading somewhere about which control was the best but can't find it now. And this one is below $100...

Thanks for your thoughts. I have 150ah of usable capacity. From what I can find those heaters draw a couple amps once warmed up so that shouldn't be an issue.

You guys think I could survive a California winter (Mammoth and Tahoe) in an uninsulated van with a knock off diesel heater? I don't need it to be 70 at night. At minimum above freezing so I can keep...

I'll take anything :)

Any offers?

The jacket is around 3 years old. I used it for one season and it’s been in the closet since. The fit is long and baggy and it wasn’t my style. Still in great shape because of that. I do not...

What a joke, no insulation, unfinished walls. they just put a couple big ticket items in there so people ignore the lack of everything else. I'd question the real world solar output since they are...

Search for Will Prowse on Youtube. He has a lot of good info about DIY solar systems.

Babybear, thanks for the info. I decided on the 159 because total exterior length is nearly the same as my NV, but the cargo area is almost two feet longer. The NV wastes a lot of space in the engine...

First time poster here.

I have been living in a van for about 2.5 years now around California (SoCal, Central Coast, and now the Bay Area). My home is a NV2500. I have never spent any time in the...
