^^^ This should be the yardstick for whether it's time to start a new thread.

Visited Italy last month, went to the Pantheon. It has the oldest non reinforced concrete dome in the world and it’s over 2000 years old. Apparently the Roman’s figured out a way to make self sealing concrete and today we can’t even pave a freeway to last one winter.

To be fair - they don't ever deal with freeze/thaw at the Pantheon.

Or chained-up semi trucks driving over it.

Freeze thaw has nothing to do with it. Check out: news.mit.edu/2023/roman-concrete-durability-lime-casts-0106
Always fun to see Tahoe BC and Powdork setting the stoke!

Forgive me if I posted this before but a lot of the massive pothole damage around the area was due to improper binding between the newest layer of asphalt and the previous layer, according to an asphalt guy I know. I never saw a pothole this year that went deeper than the top layer.

Hard to believe it could get better than yesterday, but....

I wasn't about to head up on the ice, but they needed their October turns and they didn't want any part of the low angle pow I was there for.

Day 6
Someone should start a new thread before Rose opens. Tried to time it so I got there when they turned the guns off but I was a few minutes early so I did one run in the mulch flats, then the guns were off

Respect.

You have an amazing ability to ski on surfaces that would throw me on my face,, over..... and over ...... and over .... and over.

Alright people...a new thread for the 23/24 season has been started. It's not done yet, but it is there. If you don't like the title, well boo hoo. Nobody else was doing it. It was time, beyond time really.
