Timberline was by far my favorite place to ski when I lived in VA. Their terrain is the best I found down there. I'll be sending them some $, it'd make me quite sad if they closed down.

Some WV...

It didn't suck

I was there last Thurs, there was a dude there skinning up with his kid in tow. Little mini chariot thingy strapped to his waist, held by aluminum poles then on mini skis of its own. Pretty cool...

I'm supposed to work on Tues... I don't want to work on Tues. I just might have to get sick.. will let you know if I can make it. :)
7" at my house right now, and still coming down hard. Hopefully...

Wish I was able to make it out there on Wed, but I got out there on Thurs.. yeah there were a couple icy patches, but it was still in real good condition overall. Found some untouched goodness over...

No Magic for me this weekend.. maybe (hopefully) next..

Work blows. Night shift especially blows.

I can't speak for Stratton, but Magic is super cool with dogs.. I see a couple pups running around just about every time I go there. As long as your dog gets along with other ones, and isn't...

Square drive is also known as Robertson if you're looking for a driver or bits..

Yeah, they stopped offering them in the States, but the version we were offered was WAY different than the global market.

It recently won "Pickup Truck of the Year" by a huge margin. I'd provide...

I would love a small-ish diesel pickup truck.. currently have a 2011 Frontier and its 16mpg is killing me; I'm paying over $300/mo in gas. Working on moving closer to work, but still...

Wish the...

Which one were you Buttah? Don't think I ran into you today.. I was the asshole in the blue jacket and white pants flailing down the hill.

Big thanks to GetAmped for showing me around yet again,...

Or you could just use a block of wood as a guide.. or go to Home Depot, the plexiglass cutting booth always has lots of scraps that they'll probably give you for free. Glue/ clamp a couple of the...

To anyone wondering how it is- Magic sucks today. Be glad you're not here.

looks like there's a good sized crew of maggots heading to Magic tomorrow.. I'll be there in the white helmet, blue jacket and white/ skittle pants. Green Coreupt skis.

Magic tomorrow! I need to be at work tomorrow night starting at 6, so will have to leave a little early, but gonna be there for opening bell :)

Dat triple backflip Parker White pulled off that kicker made me make weird faces with my face.


And them lines Tanner just straightlines down, and makes it look so fucking easy... just damn.

Ok, boot deep. Fuck you for spoiling my exaggeration.


That fish was THIS big!! I swear! ;)

Lololol most of the mtn? No. But there was certainly more than 1", and there were deeper spots to be found where shit got blown to I guess. I don't remember the names, still learning them as I go....

Hit up Magic today with GetAmped and a couple of his friends..

'Twas fantastic. Fucking knee deep goodness to be found, lots of nice soft bumps everywhere.

I still suck, the mtn reminded me...

Wet, heavy snow right now in Albany. Not sure how it is out in VT, but hey at least it's snowing :)

In. Let me know when.

Anyone gonna be at Magic tomorrow? White helmet, blue jacket, white pants

Yep. I love that drop from near the mid station area to the lower glades.. so many fun things there, but that was always a goodie

At Magic, taking a break for a beer now. Good coverage everywhere, but yeah like DoWork said- crusty. It's warming up a bit now, and softening so maybe after a little more liquid courage I'll be good

I shoulda brought my gun..


What?


It should be fun!

Haha I saw that vid too.. was def waaayy shy of 100 silly goose.

Hopefully maybe we get a little moar goodness tonight.

I will be at Magic tomorrow as well- blue jacket, white/ skittle pants, white helmet, green coreupt skis.

Wish I went today :(

There's a very good chance I will be at Magic on Friday.. give me a shout if you're gonna make it.

Fun day at Magic. Didn't get there early enough for first tracks, but still got a bunch of good runs in. Thin cover in spots, but overall a lot of loose fluffy shit around.

Lots of good people,...

Magic is crowded! Just got here, first lot was already full..

Looks like I'm gonna be at Magic tomorrow with a friend.. who else is coming? Shoot me a PM. I'll have on a white helmet, blue jacket, white pants, green Coreupt Candide Pow skis.

My boy is flying up Thurs night, taking him skiing at Hunter on Friday and probably Sat.. yeah I know, but Hunter is 10 mins to my sister's place where we will be staying, and they have a pretty good...

Nah, I wish man.. have fun! The West side of the hill was all closed today, they're opening it tomorrow. Getamped was there today on his Worths, definitely wasn't having any problems. I think his...

Dowork and Peruvian,

Didn't see either one of you fine gentlemen. Way to not say hi you fucking sacks of shit. Go fuck yourselves.

Ugh, I normally would be, but heading down to Brooklyn tonight. Hit me up next time.

Went to Magic today, place was fucking crawling with maggots. Report to come later. Today was my first time...

Wheee it's fucking cold.

Ogres are like onions

Heading to Magic tomorrow AM, anyone else gonna be there? Shoot me a PM, or find me on the hill. Blue jacket, white helmet, Coreupt Candide Pow skis.

FWIW, I don't know of any 500 that strains in any way to do 60mph. The DRZ400 does not have a particularly strong motor for a 400, and will still go over 100 stock. The Ninja 250 will go 95ish. No,...

IF said person wants to get into sportbikes, then yes. That's a big if. As was also said, the F2/ F3 CBRs wouldn't be a bad idea either. The F series CBRs were MUCH more newbie friendly than the...

Yes, heel is back all the way when buckles are tight. If I loosen/ release them the heel slides forward and the problem gets much worse. I think I have enough room in the shell, something around...

I have a DRZ400S. While it is a fun bike, not sure I would suggest it as a first bike for someone who is 5'8. It's a tall bike, which makes stops & starts a little harder, especially on an incline....

26.5 full tilt first chairs. It took a punch in the left forefoot, but now almost everything is working well.. Except my toes are still getting smushed. I have room in the shell, and have tried heat...

Titebond shrinks as it cures. Use a little more than you think you need.

II is quite water resistant. I haven't used III, but they advertise it as being waterproof. I remember a test where II...

For binding holes, Titebond 2 wood glue.

Not an epoxy, but works well, and is MUCH easier to work with.

For epoxies, I've had good luck in other projects with loctite extra time.
...

If I had an offset hole, I'd probably fill the whole thing with epoxy or wood + wood glue, let it cure, then start anew... of course this also depends how far off we're talking though.

Just as good as a press for the task at hand, sure.

Where a press excels is when you want to drill into a round, angled or pointed object with no drifting or walking. Or if you need to drill to an...

I would like to see some impact tests done on those hinges/ slides before trusting it on my head.

It does seem like a pretty good/ useful idea for a light-use lid though.

Another knock on...

Walked out my door this morning to a bunch of white stuff on the ground. Was quite the lovely unexpected surprise.

Hooray snow!

Need to work today :( might be out tomorrow though, anyone else...

The best helmet? The one that fits your head. There is no one good helmet for everyone.. try on a bunch if you can, buy the one that you forget you're wearing.

I like the POC Receptor BUG, the...

I replaced my Tyrolia Peak 15 heelpiece with silly putty. It works much better now.

After all, silly putty was invented by scientists, and Tyrolia comes from those crazy Australians.

Fuckin...
