yes.

Another issue for me is that the springs definitely become way less stiff over time. I have 70ish days on mine with stiffest springs set up on stiffest setting, and they now feel way too soft/neutral...

I successfully serviced the front shock on my trail bike yesterday. Bearings and rear shock next weekend. Just doing my part to make it snow again.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement “mid-strap wire kit” for a tx pro boot? I snapped one the other day and can’t find ‘em in stock anywhere....

Sounds like they all made it out ok.

This guy didn’t [emoji26]

Beautiful morning sunrise.

There’s so little snow/ice below 1,000’, that once things drain and freeze hard, there could be a solid window for some decent trail and gravel riding. In Central VT. In January. WTF.

And in the midst of all this flooding tomfoolery, the area around Whitegrass ski area in WV has a winter storm warning, expecting 6-14” with no...

Dropping into Airplane Gully in early December is pretty bold. Hope he recovers.

Yes. Stiff springs and dialed in as far as they’ll go.

Yeah the bellows have gotten pretty soft. Laterally the boots are still plenty stiff. It’s just that when I try to drive the cuff on each boot it doesn’t apply much pressure/power to the ski. I was...

My TX Pros have gotten floppy after only 45 days of skiing. I’m planning on getting a pair of Intuition Tour Wrap liners to stiffen them up a bit.

Does anyone know if the Intuition Tour liners...

They had people out checking for passes before sunrise?!

You’re probably right. It’s just not floppy. Lightweight it is not though.

I’m using my old 2013 K2 Coombacks with Outlaw Xs and TX Comps for firm snow. Yeah they’re 102 underfoot but there’s no tail rocker and the tip rise is fairly modest (giving them a longer running...

I had one of these cranks (ultegra 6800 I think) fail/delaminate on me during a ride several years ago, and in order to get home, I had to pedal 25ish miles with just my left leg, while the driveside...

Hi there:

I'm looking for a set of 22Designs Shift Plates. I can do Paypal or Venmo. Ship to 05602 ZIP.

Thanks in advance.

I’m spending next week on Cape Cod in Eastham, MA, and planning on doing lots of early morning rides. Does anyone have experience/feedback regarding the unpaved roads on the east side of...

Just make sure, when dealing with ChainReaction, to avoid DHL shipping at all costs. Otherwise you could get a very expensive surprise follow-up invoice in the mail.

It’s a bit damp in Central VT right now…

The scariest ones had the U-brake right next to the bb under the chainstays. Perfect place to catch a rock or a thick stick.

What is your favorite *affordable* high-engagement hub? I’m looking to build a new rear wheel and I’ve grown tired of issues with Hope hubs’ lack of durability. (not high-engagement either)

I have the 2021 iteration of the FIT4 fork, and it rides like buttah. However, the bushings came loose after only 130 miles out of the box. Fox did fix it for free, and I only had to pay for shipping...

After reading both articles, it seems more like “game on” for the project to get tied up in a lot of opposition and controversy. That thing would have a huge footprint.

I hear ya, but I gotta say I prefer the Music > Sugaree > Music from Alpine ‘82.

Day 7 of 8 days in the Gaspé. I can confirm that conditions do not suck.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230401/7b9c6c0761fc6273728e80f3c6d22c05.jpg...

Anyone have info on the avalanche incident yesterday at Mad River Glen?

All lifts at Sugarbush were offline (power outage) this morning, but skins were still working fine. 14” of untracked didn’t hurt...

Last fall I got Voile Manti skis mounted with Meidjo 3 bindings (with 2nd ski inserts) from them. I have 40 days on them and they ski great.



Regarding shipping and duty, the issue may stem...

Sorry to pile on, but after seeing the 9th (no exaggeration) 5-paragraph Facebook update on the same Thursday-Friday storm, I kinda believe that they cross the line between providing helpful public...

Sunrise turns this morning.

A buddy of mine who lives in Jackson, NH says there’s a pretty good crust on things right now over there. That means it’s probably a factor in the snowpack in the alpine zone.

I’m still unsure whether Alpinezone/Greg isn’t an AI bot troll. It’s difficult to believe that an actual person has been posting from that account since 2005. He reminds me of Ted Lasso.

Should we make it a drinking game for every time someone posts an update, screenshot, or link to the current weather conditions on Mt. Washington between now and Saturday night? Just sayin’. [emoji6]

From Mad River Glen’s website: In 2004 and 2005, MRG offered $15 “Freeze Your Buns off Day” ski specials during January arctic cold snaps.

Thanks! I failed to specify that I was looking for a used pair. Buddy doesn’t want to drop the coin for a brand new pair. Seeing a lot of used Lynx bindings out there but used Meidjo 3s are scarce. I...

Can anyone here give an opinion on how active the springs are on the 22Designs Lynx? I am trying to hunt down a setup for a ski buddy of mine and can’t seem to find Meidjo 3s anywhere, was hoping...

I dunno, my wife and I skied it on Easter weekend on our way home from the Chic Chocs (many moons ago) and we really enjoyed it. I guess YMMV.

Le Massif is a great mountain. Worth skiing. Buy tickets in advance online. That’s all you need to know. There’s also really good local cheese, bread, and beer in the Charlevoix region.

I enjoyed that article for the most part, except that this paragraph read like a condescending hipster word salad:

The skiing may currently suck, but trails in N-Central VT are riding great right now. Frozen, leafy velcro.

Just wanted to shout out that @detrusor is an all-around great person to buy stuff from.

Outstanding.
