If your cutting skin(s), remember, the tip is the most sensitive part.

damn that inversion set in quick. guns are off.

no way it's an inversion it's been windy as fuck at lake level and it was 29 degrees when I posted that. must just be warm air moving in i guess.

[Ottime]

Are you e-arguing with yourself there.

[powdork]

yes and i totes won

[TahoeJ]

yes and i totes won

And lost, technically speaking. Or is that a tie?

Funniest tweet of day here! Solid.

Dam I was gonna ride up roundabout this morning so I could stick my head in front of a gun for my first faceshot of the season

random question, what does the avg shop in tahoe charge to cut skins? I've only done it a few times and trying to decide if it's worth having someone with more experience do it.

this might actually be the softest post in this thread

I pretended to be watching the national news as I was watching her wax her skis.

Damn! If we kept our cool, we could have had some sierras!

I'm almost scared to know what the right side of that sign reads. $50 for cutting skins is silly.

Covid getting surgy in washoe county. Hopefully they get that under control soon.

You're probably right, but I would maybe also shy away from journalistic photography.

Seems like the 4 county area and south lake too. good thing we can get this out of the way in the months before any snow falls..... <really sad face emoji>

Didn't you hear--we're all citizen photojournalists now.

Claiming my limb now: skiing my driveway on the 16th. On snow. Should we start a pot?

Damn I should get into the ski pole-cutting business (right side of sign). How about 20 bucks to cut your poles to preferred length using a serrated bread knife? Extra 10 if you want a tape measure to be remotely involved in the process.

I bought a mountain bike a couple days ago. So it’ll probably start snowing within a week

Sort of related: you started the new thread back in 2016 / 17 and that season turned out pretty well... so I'm thinking you should do the next one.

W/o the truckee ski swap, I’m starting to think about wtf to do for boots for my teen. He may be nearing full growth of his feet, though his feet are small for his height.

Second hand shops (truckee and TC) have sometimes worked out for us. Also thinking full tilt because of the ability to use different stiffnesses of tongue the tongue. Are shops getting stocked? What shops do full tilt in truckee/TC/Incline/KB area? Am I going to melt if I drive over the pass or instantly start throwing blood clots and have my toes turn blue?

If you are planning on having some bootfitting done, you need to call the shop ahead of time. I know most shops are only doing bootfitting by appointment.
If Bob and Keith are still at Sports Hub (I have not been in the shop since last summer, so don't know what their staff sitch is in light of Covid), they are both solid.

Also, what size boot is he in?

I have some 25.5 Tecnica Mach 1 LV 120 shells to unload...
