I miss my Nautique.

Yes, I used to be a ball chaser.

You want to start as early as possible.
It’s light enough to ride a little after 5.

Enjoy! 1A?

First bike down Anaerobic Nightmare for 22.

420151

Props to the trail crews for getting out early and getting them clear.

Wasn’t too bad in March.

No Revel trailer this year.

Aspen Sports only has about 8-10 bikes.
Scott and Rossi.

4 Mountain’s the best bet, with lots of Treks and Norco’s.

Valkyrie ready for tomorrows onslaught.

I’ll be up most days.

I thought it was nice!


I checked out the Aurum in Snowmass for Happy Hour. It was decent, nice vibe with live music.

Brown pow for Father’s Day!


1st ride with the pup at 6:30.

Rich is a skier and a good guy. I think you guys will be pleased.

Snowmass starting to get things going!

French Press was good, but it would be nice to get a little rain, before the masses hit it Tuesday.

Do the Aspen/Snowmass Mega loop, then close the Belly Up.

You hitting 80 year olds?

My FIL was a huge aviator. 10K hour GA pilot, Quite Birdman and air strip owner.
He had a big Fly In at his strip and an 88 year old guy shows up in a Stearman.
They wanted an aerial view of all...

It will be snow free. But that’s a big day.

I rode a SS GF Rig exclusively for 3 years.
It fucked up my knees.

I get back from Hood River on the 11 th.

You could park at my house and I’d give you a ride to the West Snowmass Creek trail head. Catch the bus down from Maroon Lake and back to my house.

I went up Little Anne’s. Road was clear, sleds were recovered.

Little guy had his first bear encounter yesterday.
It went really well.
Rudy was on point 10-15 yards ahead. He alerted and then an gave an aggressive bark. I swept up Rocky and we...

Good luck!

Just any FYI. Most people don’t/won’t wear an Unloader tight enough to help.
The gel injections help the first couple of times and then Cortisone, becomes more effective.

418451

I’m just training a new trail pup now.

418401

Yes, the dirts really good in Snowmass right now.
I’d wait till lifts open and wildlife closures end 6/21.

418402

We have Ragnar this...

Yes, related to Wiem/GSP.

I just got another crazy creature.

418377

At 64 he may be my last large dog.

I ride a Trek Slash enduro , almost everyday.
Revel’s trailer or Four Mountain would be my first choices. Aspen Sports also has DH bikes in a shop in Base Village.

I like PJ at Gene Taylor’s,...

My son broke his nose a couple of years ago. A full face sure would have been nice.
Some of the SNEL dedicated snowmobile helmets w/breath boxes are kind of heavy to ski with.

How was the road?
I have to go up and get my Snowmobiles tomorrow.

It’s a Vizsla. He’s a really good boy and already has me wrapped.
I think Rhodies have a lot of Vizsla in the blood line.

We could already use some rain in the RFV.

Due to puppy, I pretty much own the Ditch Trail this year.

I’m surprised VR allows that.


We can ride up Aspen Mountain on the county “summer road”, but not descend on the only trail.
Which is a shame, cause it’s a really steep/ hard trail that rarely...

Might want to sell now and rent for a little bit.

That post is nothing, compared to the features at some parks.

That ruling is a travesty.

Snowmass’s park is just starting to dry and still has a few downed trees.

417882

Lots of training.

There was a provision in the Gorsuch Haus approval, that the pool must be public. I believe the same is true for all large hotels in town like the W Roof top and the St. Regis.
Shadow Mountain’s...

I’ve sold my last three bikes by just locking them up downtown with for sale signs. Easy pezee.

My first e-bike was a Hal-27.5. It was decent and I beat the shit out of it.
The major components are good, but they cheap out on stuff like pedals, skewers, handlebars, etc.

I think they’re a...

I’d love to take a lap with you guys, but I’m stuck on dog friendly for quite some time.

Rocky, named after an OG mag.

Let me get this straight. I’m supposed to go up...

Down in Harbor Island Bahamas they had Turtle Bay were tourists would come and feed the hundreds of turtles.
During the early days of Covid the government lock down the island’s.
Didn’t even allow...

Yes, I think they will. I do and it’s not always pavement. Some are dirt/4wd roads and OHV’s make a lot more noise and kick up a lot more dust.

Hate on them all you want. I guarantee you’ll...

Anyplace people shuttle.

In Colorado, non-motorized doesn’t necessarily mean no E-bikes. Almost all MUT’s here are open to E-Bikes, but still have non-motorized signs.

I also think education is key. Overall, anything...

About as good as Rim, 7* and Sky Mountain get.

I saw three, last week alone. Now I leave it to professionals.

417029

I just don’t see how they will ever be able to hold the race, if or when, they finally start constructing the hotel.

Hitting the Belly Up tonight and next Saturday!

416950

I’ve heard that a few times.
I went to an open house that I liked the house, but not the lot. I later met the builder and he had five others, one that I did buy.

The 1A bluster, was just a diversion to get the lift/hotel approved.
I think this will be the one and only race.
It’s a PR move by Skico’s, so they can say”see we saved the race”.

Wow, I never thought the World Cup would return to Aspen, let alone a men’s DH.

https://www.aspentimes.com/news/world-cup-races-returning-to-aspen-in-march-2023/

I’m conflicted, while I love...

Rudy’s getting old and can’t run with me biking very far anymore.

416785

So I’m picking up this guy for him to mentor, while he still can.
