Evo currently has Volkl Revolt 96 in small sizes for $270.

I'll have a pair of Faction Dictator Youth 155 for sale soon if anyone is interested.

Pretty common to see this in UAC forecasts.



Iron sharpens iron. Everyone's a hero in powder.

Xmas through New Year's this season the Bird had enough base that the whole mountain was open...

As described that's messed up.

Big slides can snap whole stands of mature trees like toothpicks. It's amazing that meatbags like us survive as often as we do.

Exposure should be a huge factor in BC decision making. Overall avalanche risk = likelihood of a slide x consequenses of a slide. While you never want to get caught in a slide, setting off a small...

If you're interested in trading some wider Pivot brakes for race width Pivot brakes let me know.

I wonder if any of them had concerns that they never spoke up about. Sounds like a textbook example of the Expert Halo.

Count on it. It's a 2019 that is more clapped out than I would normally even consider. The price was right for something for a teenager to beat on for a season or two, but FTG.

Anyone want to ask...

Looking for a new frame for my kid and found something that might work on PB. Photos show the frame with a shock. The ad goes out of its way to mention that it includes aftermarket and stock...

I'll play Devil's advocate here:

It was a major mistake for IFMGA-certified guides to put students on a 40-degree slope above fatal exposure. Backcountry skiing is inherently risky, but this was...

Hasn't that been the case since, like, forever? On The Waterfront was 1954.

LCC sits at the middle of a terrain/snow quantity/snow quality Venn diagram that few others occupy.

Glad to hear Alta was good today. Snowbird was decent but last weekend was better. Still pretty...

I don’t know how you could live in a sea of white like that.

At this point Snowbird is the one house in the otherwise well-kept neighborhood with cars in the yard on blocks and chained up dogs that bark all day.

And in 2009 no one outside of a handful of hardcore technerds could aquire BTC. Amazon and Google IPOs were more accessible to regular public investors.

It's a bit disingenuous to assume that the $10k in 2009 USD earns no returns over that period. $10k invested in S&P index funds in 2009 is worth almost $80k today. Certainly not as good as BTC...

Like when people try to lose weight and the people around them try to guilt them into eating junk food.

Preach


Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,...

Duuuude....

You want the white ultraprocessed stuff. It's the cheapest and does exactly what you need.

Heh.

That line has seen a lot of action this year, mostly ropeless. Cool to see people getting after it but that's not one that I have much personal interest in.

Related: My 14 y.o.'s playlists are all the same alt rock and punk I listened to at the same age in the '90s.

Peter Attia did a great episode on prostate health last fall that went deep on prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. I'd highly recommend giving that a listen.

Ummm, no.

Anyone have any tips for preserving quality when uploading to YouTube? My AK edit somehow looks like crap at 1080. Uploaded from Quick using the "Full HD" option.

edit: Sounds like it looks good...

Rossi Sender Squad. Felt like the perfect weapon.

Has anyone noticed issues with the YouTube video quality? I just watched it via the link for the first time and despite showing as being 1080 HD it looked like junk.

Bueller?

Heh, the other client in the ship with me was fond of saying that heli skiing is hard drugs. I'd guess around 15k. We did eight runs total. The first run was not really a real run, more of a "Let's...

Finally put the full trip edit together. It's missing some sweet drone footage from Comstock I'm waiting to get from one of the other folks on the trip, but I had some time so decided to crank this...

It's been so rad seeing how stoked to ski he's been this year!

We got dropped off on the little ledge looker's left of the pointy peak. We skied down to the little col left and below from there, which is where the POV vid starts. Skied fall line almost down to...

I couldn't resist un-Skidogging the pic.

Anyone have some 95 mm brakes?

And he somehow still doesn't get it.



Yeah, exactly.

For sure, meant the 'satch specifically.

IMO resort corn is pretty reliable thanks to grooming and skier compaction. BC corn is much more fickle.

In our deep evolutionary past taking a certain degree of risk was required to eat and stay alive, and successfully navigating that risk surely came with strong neurological and psychological rewards....

Best Wasatch corn I ever skied was during an unusual early March dryspell.

That moment when you leave the takeoff of a big air and your speed, balance, and angle are perfect and you know you're going to stomp it stretches on like an ocean of time. There's no past, no...

IIRC, 20-ish high school athletes die every year doing normal non-extreme sports. Marc-Andre Leclerc did some of his craziest stuff with no cameras present. Some people are just internally driven to...

Looking at the second pic a bit closer, if you look at where you can see the horizon on the left it appears that it may actually be a bit reverse Skidog-ed. Regardless, while it is definitely steep,...

You should post this in the ski RV thread. It will get a lot more views there.

Thanks, guys. If someone had shown me that photo before the trip and asked, "Do you think you'll get to ski something like this?" I would have said NFW.

I would have thought it was obvious that mods are not backend IT professionals, but apparently not. It's idiotic to think the mods can fix this.

Also, let's be real here, reddit's reply structure simply does not work for long-term open-ended threads like we have here.



This.
