Got only our second trip this year on the Eastside this weekend.

One of the north chutes on Basin on day one. Drove to about 8k in the Buttermilks before getting stopped by a drift. Hiked the...

I haven't been down there a ton, but we were around bishop and big Pine this weekend and overall coverage is bad to nonexistent below 8k, aspect dependent but pretty thin below 10k, and pretty good...

What a day. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240407/3be9270f0b069caf36af9665f32a4e08.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240407/0053ce9d76a36b0ce32468aeecf958bc.jpg

You guys realize she had just gotten carried through and over cliffs and was seriously injured right? Stop judging her from the first ten seconds after that. Any medical or rescue training I've done...

On his podcast, Derek Foose said the FWT told the women they'd be on the Petite Bec. Didn't sound like it was a discussion. The main reason was that there'd been too many close calls with sluff on...

Finally finished watching the men's ski last night. What a comp.

Good to see Erin Sauve stomping sizable features in snowboard women. Raise that bar.

I love watching Hedvig ski, just so...

Those are the best days. I'm jealous

Always nice to go in expecting windboard and getting powhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240308/ec0e88f7a23b15e48af57a65c25ce273.jpg

I'm honestly really surprised by this whole conversation. It's interesting to hear how different we are seeing the men's snowboarding. I'm seeing very strong well put together runs, you guys think...

I mostly agree with both of you guys, toast and altacoup. I lose track of how many red bull helmets come through the start gate in men's ski. I'd debate if the guys in natural selection are actually...

Huh, I'd disagree on men's snowboard. Maybe my memory of this stop is faded, but overall this year and last year I think the bar in men's snowboard has been raised a ton. Strong field, seems like...

For some dumb reason I talked myself into buying these to try and modify for splitboarding. They are very good fitting to my foot I guess. Anyway, did 1 short tour in them, the weight and walk mode...

Bought new in 2021, I used it for 2 days that winter and decided airbags aren't for me. Gave it another try last month, still isn't for me. 3 days total use. In excellent shape, has a couple very...

It took a Swiss mountain guide to teach you the most-used snarky disclaimer ever?

Update on the Forester handling. I got under it and looked at things, jerked on control arms, and really checked out the tread wear. All looked and felt good. Took it to a mechanic and they said...

Carson City is a pretty good spot, and money goes farther housing wise than Reno. Smaller city with everything you need. 30-40 minutes to the east shore of Tahoe. If you tour all the greater Tahoe...

Cool thanks everyone. I'll crawl under and see if any bushings look obviously bad, and when we get home get the alignment checked. It's on the stock wheels. I'll let you guys know when I find out...

Good call on rear end alignment. I'll start with the basics and get it checked. Definitely think I was in the weeds in my head about awd systems, VDC, stability control, and other things.

I have a Subaru driving dynamics question. Driving my fiances forester on patchy snow and ice was uncomfortable. Dappled sunlight, so one wheel on wet bare pavement, one on hard ice, one in slush...

There was a soft supportable crust under things, but it rode well. Windblasted spots led to some slick skinning

Kirkwood was good today. Very little is groomed, the bumps on Zacks are super fun and chalky, you'll hit some stuff in there but it's ding your board up hits, not major injury hits. Sentinel was...

Is the idle higher than normal til you hit the throttle? Is this happening during cold starts, where the engine starts on half choke? If so, that's normal. If it's happening on warm starts where you...

I'd guess a 361 would pull a 28 full skip through that but it'd be slow. Then again it's gonna be pretty slow with a 24. Anyway, I'd try shaving bark with the saw or an ax where you're gonna put the...

Looks good back there frush. We were looking at going in to pine creek, but the road was closed. Poked up it a ways, only a single plow width had been cleared so we did other stuff.

I got more love for the 500i, with a caveat. Our shot crew started running them last year and we have fully switched over to them as our primary line cutting saws. They're light and powerful and...

Good stuff frush! Yesterday was our first day down there this season. Snow wasn't the worst it could be and winds were only bad at the very top of the couloir. That said, I was booting in a puffy and...

On the staffing stuff:

At the start of this season, temps were told that they could work up to 1700 something hours instead of 1039. I don't know if that was related to covid or if that will...

Fuck that's gnarly! One of my favorite things to do was get up in the foothills before a storm and watch dust kick up out of the west desert

I guess that's maybe possible, but I find it very hard to believe it would run at all if a crank shaft bearing was so shot air was coming past both the seal and the bearing. I also don't think a...

Heh that shits so frustrating. On the idle, is there possibly an air leak anywhere on the intake side? Does it ever over rev at high rpm for no reason? Ie, not cuz you're running out of gas.

Id tend to agree and do not want/am not arguing for backcountry skiing to be forbidden.
