Nope me and snobunski chasing snowbows up nawth

Some years back Blue used to have an annual Bikercross race that I would watch every year. The one year it was snowing pretty good and coming back down the mountain a jeep in font of me slides out and takes out the pole the same way at the curve just uphill from there. I "Oh fuck'd" it around and went back up and watched 2 more poles come down in the rearview, what a day of absolute mayhem!

yea and I'm sure the mechanism required to keep the brake disengaged in tour mode while your lifting your boot would be somewhat fiddly. Now youve got me curious, I'll have to check out those radicals Most tele binding don't have brakes either except for a few and some NTN's for the same reason. edit: don't need brakes if your bindings don't release lol

"can" being the operative word, my guess in real world applications the difference apples to apples is negligible source AI ?!

hmm never really thought about it, do most touring bindings not have brakes?

Nice, you get Indy this year? If so let me know if you want do a Shawnee uphill one afternoon

that's the beauty of it, you get to nibble around the perimeter to make buccee heads!

Fun morning ski and lunch, did a few more fun runs with @tarponhead and the man with 2 first names and Marty, gals to celebrate with yal/ yins , makes me so ….

Looks like it worked really well, feels like it’s in the right spot too ! We’ll see next time out

Yea I talked to him about it the other day, since its just the one spot I just heated heated up the one area for 15 minutes with Mrs snobunski’s blow dryer (sshhh 😉) if it doesnt work I’ll heat up the whole shell they are supposedly mold able shells. Too bad JD and mugsy aren’t still at blue 😒

So the new boots are good except for one hot spot on the tumor that must’ve grown into the old boots Not sure where to go locally for a punch decided to try a diy, $30 and a C clamp later I am set to give it a go Marked The spot and heated those puppies up and clamped ‘em, will pet you know how it works out

Blah blah… everyone and no one low viz no crowds, saweet snow and sidewinder too! Fun morning topped off with some beer and grilled meat! edit: first time 100% piste before new years ?

nice! I had planned on riding after work but I feel like shit so going home to nap...

lol in '86 I was probably 20-30 dead shows in... 🫠 I did watch the monkees, banana splits and sigmund and the sea mosters back in the day

Then its a good thing I'm cheap and gonna milk these OEM's for another 5-10K lol

Since I'm working out of a job trailer trying to get a building out of the ground its going to be brutally cold and snowy this winter, you're welcome!

anybody riding this afternoon/evening?

hopefully will come in handy for a few slalom nights!

good thing theyre letting 'em set to drain out a bit...

FSC FTW!

Yea we’ll see if it works

Set off Saturday morning in search of snow, I was hopeful as I approached my typical go to trail at Weiser SF, trees and ground were covered, unfortunately everything except the trail I was racking my brain trying to think of any mtb/ hiking trails that were close by at elevation. It had been a few years since I rode there but remembered Moosic up by Scranton. Was thrilled to find 18-20” snow and set off up the road to link up with the Blueberry trail. All earnin’ and no turnin’. The heavy snow and tangles of bent over blueberry bushes and saplings made for some slow going. Toughest 2 mile flat ski I’ve ever done but it was good to get out and play in the snow
