They're always sold out which is why you cant find a pair of RTMs to rent. Yup former Olympic gold medalist and JH local Tommy Moe skis RTMs unless it’s a snorkel pow day..he has 171s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skis definitely feel like you're not spending enough on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, biking is different because I like to see how fast I can go on Strava. Skiing is just about having fun and cruising down the mountain. The RTMs work great for me, but that's just me personally - everyone has their own preferences. A pair of powder skis would be nice, but how often do I get to ski powder in northeast PA - once or twice a year, if I'm really, really lucky...

You have stats on this site that will rival Strava. All of your bikes roll on hard ground, none will ride well on a beach, and yet you've managed to accumulate three versions of them. RTMs aren't for cruising, they're for ripping, so let's find you a cruiser now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I topped 80 at JH the one day skiing with Dazzling Dennis. It was more scary than rad a few times. The only time I was tracked legitly was at Blue when thinksnow Greg brought a radar gun and I hit 64 on razors and Atomic Jeff hit 74 but he was in a tuck and I was not.

NMSKI Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Well, Taos announced their plans on Friday for the season and they aren't offering any ski school for kids which is kind of a dealbreaker. We can pay $750/kid per day for a private lesson but I'm not made of money. Plus, it looks really restrictive regarding eating, drinking, etc. This will probably be the first year since 2011 that I don't get Taos in. Narrowed it down to Sun Valley or Steamboat for the family trip. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was by far the best ski trip I've ever had. I kinda wanna go back this year, but also want to see what else is out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
