  1. Sibhusky, you've definitely earned your ribbon from the Whitefish chamber of commerce. Great pictures, keep em coming. Whitefish is on my list, long list though.
  2. For sure, season goes by so fast! Thanks for the info too.
  3. Nice, was the long haul lift running? I'll be up there next sunday, and whenever PASR day is, so glad to hear about the nice conditions. How was the steepest trail in PA with the 7 th steepest headwall in the eastern US (per website)?
  4. Would like to get $175. I skied maybe 10 days on them. They are the 2012 model. They are currently mounted on 2009 K2 Apache Recons which I will throw in as well. Full disclosure the skis have had a hard life but perhaps a good tune could get a couple more seasons out of them. The bindings were $250 new. They currently have the skinnier brake, but you can interchange brakes on Salomon bindings and the brakes cost like $10 if you want to put them on some fat skis. I can take some pictures after work if anyone is interested. Make me an offer, I'm getting ready to move so I want these gone.
  5. Nice. I got a pair of boots at Salters 2 seasons ago and had a good experience over there as well. Had a little bit of a rough time with my toes breaking them in, but was able to get it figured out. They do an awesome job with the orthotics too. I'll be biting the bullet again soon though as well and going with something stiffer.
  6. Went up last night after work to get some runs in despite temperatures being in the teens. Snow was being blown on just about every trail, and the freshly blown snow made for surprisingly decent night skiing conditions. The bumps on main street were scraped off and icy, but the left side of main street was nice. Did nightmare to dreamweaver, razors, challenge and lazy mile and the snow was pretty good on all of them. I would have gotten a lot more laps in but the snow that was being blown kept freezing on my goggles and I couldn't see. Had to thaw out a couple times. Gonna be a lot more snow on the ground by the weekend with these temps. No pics because it was too cold/windy to take off the gloves.

    Elk Mountain Jingle

    "that ain't no jive"! Heard it on the radio this morning. Awful.
  8. Great morning of skiing. I suck at Nastar but had a great time in the north face area. White lightning never disappoints, and the snow was nice and soft. Had too much fun skiing to break out the phone for too many pics but got a couple of Ridge Racer on white lightning.
  9. Aspen. Where the beer flows like wine and the women instinctively flock like the salmon of capistrano.
  10. I'll be up there tomorrow morning. As far as the special goes, it says "weekends and holidays" on the website. Here's a link to the page: http://www.snomtn.com/index.php/tickets/2012-13-lift-tickets/ Glad to hear the conditions are looking nice.
  11. I'm going to head up to Sno tomorrow for the morning deal. I wear a green jacket, black pants and a gray helmet if anybody's there and wants to meet up.
  12. I'd probably be down for the morning session on Saturday.

    That looks fun as hell! Are those skinny ass telemark skis or XC skis with sturdier metal edges or what? Awesome video!
  14. Me too, although I've thought about getting pants with a belt. Before i went with the higher pants/suspenders i would get snow down my ass when skiing/falling in deep powder. Not really a problem around here though.
  15. Good stuff man. My wife and I will be up there in a couple weeks.
  16. Thanks for the info KC. This is the price at the window, or do I need to purchase in advance?
  17. This is the kind of shit I dream about, but don't have gear and a little light on BC experience. Have a good time. I bet there were a bunch of new slides created by the last hurricane. Get some!
  18. Maybe we could buy Sno Mountain for $2,500

    Waxing Iron Temps

    That has happened to me with the Swix iron I have. I just go with the lowest possible temperature that melts the wax and make sure there's no smoke when I'm ironing it in. I figured it might happen because I keep the wax in my garage where it's cold, and maybe the temperature listed on the wax is for melting at room temperature.
  20. Hopefully she rode delware.
  21. Haha I fell off the alpine slide at Purgatory in Durango and got the worst fiberglass burn you've ever seen! Should've sued!
  22. I think they had this last year too, I considered doing it but can't commit to the exact days. I'm thinking maybe one solid lesson followed by lots of practice on my own. Time to step it up though. I'd like to go from navigating the bumps to pounding them.

    Ski Movies

    My wife is out of town tonight so I'm going to put my kids to bed early, get bombed and watch a ski movie. Seen the TGR one already, anybody recommend a good one from this year other than that one?
