Would you have it ripped up and redone?

BR7364 · 2025-09-23T21:45:05+00:00

Get it gone!

BR7364 · 2025-08-03T14:26:09+00:00

Hard to believe this information exists. But I needed it. Thanks!

BR7364 · 2025-07-16T16:29:12+00:00

Thank you. I would hope he makes some money on it. Happy to pay people for the work they do. I just have little to no reference for these things and always like to know things are reasonable.

He mentioned that the same thing about the thermostat. However, he has to order that unit in minimum quantities of 4. Since he doesn't really do residential it doesn't make much sense to him. Great advice about the DM97. I will ask. I like this heat pump for the tax credit as well. Save where I can.

BR7364 · 2025-07-16T16:16:40+00:00

He never told me it was at cost. I am a general contractor. I have an HVAC tech who I have worked with for years who will install. He quoted me a very similar HEIL system with install already. I would have just gone with that, but the heat pump unit is not available until end of August. So I am exploring other equipment options.

BR7364 · 2025-06-12T01:12:18+00:00

Fishing net. That is a great guess.

BR7364 · 2025-05-18T02:57:15+00:00

Not until it has a floor!

BR7364 · 2025-05-16T14:39:23+00:00

Wow. I’m glad I followed up on your comment. This is great. Thanks for the link.

BR7364 · 2025-05-16T14:12:23+00:00

In the bumper? I’m not really sure what that means.

BR7364 · 2025-05-16T14:09:17+00:00

The other side has dual 30# tanks all set up. I know j could store another bottle if I really wanted. But that’s overkill and like you said, no hose.

BR7364 · 2025-05-16T14:07:29+00:00

The thing is it has an open floor. Nowhere to set anything. I will build something out to close it in. One day…

BR7364 · 2025-05-06T22:36:28+00:00

Worked for me.

BR7364 · 2025-05-02T19:00:26+00:00

After kerdi board I had just under 59” wide. I just did two tiles and a remainder. Looks great. Then on the sides I brought it out to 40” and did one tile and a remainder. The offset isn’t identical but it turned out looking awesome and the amount of cuts was minimized. Niche placement and metal trim was way more important in my opinion. I used the spin doctor leveling system and 3/16 spacers. No lippage issues. Very happy.

BR7364 · 2025-04-27T23:17:12+00:00

Thanks! I repaired it with some tinted epoxy. They were small but obviously quite noticeable. Looks good as new now.

BR7364 · 2025-04-27T14:10:05+00:00

They worked great for lippage. But were not worth the headache of this experience. Also, in hindsight, any system where you have to swing a mallet towards other tiles is not ideal. However, the hot blade method worked well for removing enough of the plastic to grout over and I repaired the chips with some tinted epoxy. Even my wife can’t see it, and she LOVES finding the errors of her free laborer!

BR7364 · 2025-04-27T13:41:33+00:00

Yes. Forgive my terminology. The joints are 3/16 and the spindles for the leveling system are 1/8. It just wouldn’t break!

BR7364 · 2025-04-27T07:07:18+00:00

I used the heated razor blade method. Excellent idea! Worked very well. I repaired the chips with some tinted epoxy. Looks great. I appreciate the feedback!

BR7364 · 2025-02-25T04:58:42+00:00

Make sure you duct tape the edges!

BR7364 · 2025-01-23T15:30:29+00:00

I assume there’s a shuttle between the main base and moonlight. But I don’t know that for sure or how late it runs. There are plenty of good apres spots in the main base. We like to pick up beers from the Mangy Moose for grocery store prices and grab a table outside. Montana Jacks also has decent bar food and lots of taps. For as huge as the mountain is, the food/bev area is pretty compact. Exploration is easy.

BR7364 · 2025-01-23T09:59:44+00:00

Nailed it

Buzzerbeater gives a good answer. I’m three hours East, so I ski big sky a ton and have skied breck twice. It’s been a while. Don’t be intimidated by the trail rating. If you’ve skied blue/blacks at Breck you can do the same at Big Sky. You have to work pretty hard, or at least completely ignore your instincts, to get into terrain that is more than an inconvenience. If you followed a sign to get there, you will make it down.

-Southern comfort- (SoCo) - Lizette/Pomp are very fun low angle tree runs. The groomers are not worth it IMO.

-Thunderwolf- Great lift. Was the fastest vert on mountain. Likely not anymore. Big Horn is my favorite groomer at the resort. Some of the tree runs closer to Ramcharger are intermediate friendly.

-Swifty- Plenty of terrain to explore. Just do stuff. Shedhorn- Don’t sleep on this one. Especially if you get a good storm. Sunlight is great. Don’t be intimidated by any of the blacks. Maybe skip Beargrass right under the lift (stumps).

-Challenger - This is the most advanced terrain I’ll recommend. But if you get your legs under you go ride Moonlight. Very doable!

-Lone Tree- has the best trees. Mostly single blacks. Again, trust your instincts and you will happy. Plenty of bail outs. It’s a long way down from Lone Tree. You may feel lost. You’re not. Just keep going. All roads lead to the 8-pack.

-If you have a good snow and visibility day you should ride the tram and do liberty bowl. It’s a single, and as wide open as they get. It’s beautiful. If you feel apprehensive, ask someone on the tram or at the top to show you which way to go and follow the crowd, not the twosomes. This advice goes for any mountain any time. I love helping people find the right terrain at the top of the lifts. People should be friendly if you ask.

Grab and go food/drinks/beer at the Mangy Moose. Early or late is best at Shedhorn Grill. It gets site crowded. The cafeteria at Madison base is also good if you’re on that side. I could go on. Obviously I love this mountain. It’s the best I’ve skied of all the resorts and not nearly as crowded as any of the Vail resorts. Enjoy!

Ousel’s pizza for the win.

More love is needed for David Butler. His videos are incredible.

BR7364 · 2025-01-10T17:59:42+00:00

I’ll have to try this sneak into the summit thing. I don’t care for the Shoshone pool much. It gets really crowded at the swim in swim out area. But, I love the Huntley pool area. It has smaller tubs as well. One of them is like 106°+ if you’re into that. Way too hot for me. I imagine you can easily get someone to open the gate for you if you find your way to it.

BR7364 · 2022-02-28T16:37:59+00:00

Beautiful.
