Thanks all. Definitely my preferred route down the mountain, preferably after Tower 16 or Broken Arrow. I think we've always called it "The left side".

Loaded question…as an Alpine and Squaw pass holder since the epic winter of 94/95, where is Sunnyside and where are the ponds?

I believe the well known scam is that a fully refundable ticket can still be cancelled up to departure despite a boarding pass in hand.

Lots of stories about this on Flyertalk.

Were the PJ's from Moffat Field training in late December/Early January? Grabbed lunch at Nugget in Davis and saw a few of the trucks and containers in the parking lot...likely grabbing lunch at...

The Parallel GS is live on Peacock. Quality coverage/announcers and no spoilers from me!

Totally agree. PD made a comment years ago that SP didn’t get or doesn’t get. I’m guessing SP has never stood in the Owens Valley and realized that us California flatlanders have huge mountains...

It’s a sad story on so many levels. As a Dad with a two and four year old we love to take them out in packs (four year old has started getting out of the pack more often than not) on some of the...

Echoing our resident Surgeon, heat stroke or exhaustion is not a joke. Have experienced it one time on a golf course in HS with my Dad and others who knew to get me in the shade and ice around my...

Started about 24 hours ago here in Davis with no let up. Local news and Bodie Zhafa all agree that it’s a true 100 year storm.

Nice work Phall! Great looking buck!

Not going to jump into any conspiracy theories, but heat stroke sucks and I’ve only experienced it on a golf course with my Dad and and other golfers who fed me ice water. Can only imagine that one...

Iron Mountain hosted our high school race camp for years when I spent time there in the early 90’s. A fun “park at the top” mountain.

My brother, Splat and I had a disastrous photo shoot at the...

What if these two idiots set up an elaborate hoax seeking Insta-fame and it got way out of their control? Hoped that parents might float some cash for a bit…then the law, Reddit and TGR got...

Thanks Phall. My Grandpa died in’63 (I was born in ‘77) and this hunt felt special…there was just a weird connection.

Good luck to all this year.

My CA deer tag is punched for the year but...

And it still shoots straight!

Anyone else dealing with a bat shit crazy anti-vaxxer MIL? Asking for a friend…

Fortunately, the apple fell a long way from the tree.

At least she seems nice.

How does it compare to lounging at the Ahwahnee?

You can still hear the ghosts of wounded WW2 GI’s in the great room while hearing the pianos Judy Garland and Sinatra used to croon over...

My daughter got the snip and it greatly improved both nursing and Mom’s happiness. She screamed for a few minutes and was good to go.

Barrel confirms August 1957 manufacture date. No rust and a very clean action. Looking forward to reacquainting myself with this rifle.

Good advice all around. Thanks Gretch, Conundrum and RF.

Just came into possession of my Grandfather’s 60+ year old Remington 760 Gamemaster in .270 and am looking forward to getting it in front of some Blacktail or pig later this year.

Rifle hasn’t...

As a Tahoe skier for 38 years...it’s too early to start the thread. (I’m in my early 40’s)

That said, anyone have an angle on some 191 Wailers 105? Too early to spew the thread? Marshall?

While disappointing, Powder has had an obvious decline in the last 5-10 years. While the Mags talk about its heyday, with talented writers and unique perspective, that brand disappeared years ago.
...

Iron Mountain. We had High School ski team camps there prior to shut down.

My brother and I even did a dysfunctional photo shoot with the one and only Splat in the early ‘00’s. (Dysfunctional...

To add, my wife and I successfully hauled a 10 month old and a 3 year old to the top of KT and Eagles Nest. Empty hike aside from a Hippy Couple behind us and two Ultra Runners that were training. ...

Politics don’t come into play when people of all political stripes choose to act like assholes.

I didn’t get the invite!

Wife and I will be trudging up KT in the morning...easy to spot.
She’ll have the 30# pack with a toddler and I’ll have the 45# pack with a recent 3 year old. Game on!

Thanks for the laugh OG. There is an UC Doc in Truckee, who is known, but will remain nameless in this thread. He put 12 stitches into my thumb and a few internally to repair the tendon following a...

Nothing personal Ugly...but you aren’t viewed as an investor. Pure cash flow. Everyone should focus on OG’s statements as he is spot on from a fiscal perspective. Some Docs are idiot scientists...

Echoing OG’s thought process. Obviously the $100 credit fell so flat and on so many deaf ears that they’ve rapidly come up with a new “enticing” offer.

IKON is currently seeking cash...

Appreciate the update and to the others that continue to PM.

Completely missed this. And thanks to Marshal for the PM that I just saw!

Thanks!

Thanks LS. Definitely comparable but my pair is currently retired in the garage. Nice beefy ski, just not as playful as the DPS.

Thanks for going down the rabbit hole! Unfortunately Ski Essentials came up empty as well.

I appreciate the comments and wish I trolled gear swap more often. Checking in with your Vermont shop.

Thanks. What’s the markets on un mounted Volant Spatulas these days? I think I grabbed...

I don’t know John and was skiing on my brothers pair. We’re twins, been at it for a long time and 225# with gear. Simply the most enjoyable ski I’ve been on in years. My current every day ski is...

191!

Haven’t heard back from them.

Recently spent some time on the DPS Wailer 105 Hybrid T2 Skis 2017 at Squaw in terrible conditions and consider it the friendliest, fun ski I’ve been on in 15 years. Regrettably the ski is not mine...

TGR is getting soft. No rage over a Beacon in a pocket and not strapped on? Nothing personal.

Echoing a previous comment, but that face looked like a great run for mortals. Assumption is that FWT is aggressively chasing Japanese popularity and cash flow, but these athletes didn’t have much...

That is the greatest fake article I’ve read in years!

My favorite...”In October 2013, Wirth lost his right arm in a skydiving accident. He skilfully reduced the blood flow until medical assistance...

I’m stoked this thread was resurrected and appreciate this article. I would counter that real heroes continue to live amongst us. Time and place remains unknown, but their will always be those who...

Concratulations Oftpiste and especially Oftpiste Jr.

Looking forward rooting for him next season!

This reminds me of a week in Las Lenas in 2008. The mountain turned into full on breakable crust after an epic storm cycle and while mortals like us were survival skiing, Seb Michaud and friends...

I've always heard great things about Dr. Coward

Very sorry to hear about the loss. The guidebook arrived a week or so ago and is nothing short of amazing!

I've fly fished up a handful of these drainages and had no idea that some of the rock...

We left the mountain around 11:00 to check out the Super G at Squaw and pulled over for multiple EMS crews heading up the road.
