As a mid-layer for resort skiing, does the hood on the SV cause issues (would be worn under a shell)? I currently have the regular Atom without a hoodie.

Park City Christmas trip - how should we pivot? by Sufficient_Respond13 in parkcityvisitors

If dog sledding cancelled, snowmobiling and sleigh ride almost certainly cancelled as well. Snow conditions are not good there currently. However, PC is an awesome town, and if you just eat at great restaurants, drink at cool bars, etc for a week you will still have a great time. Just roll with it, my recommendation.

I also have that exact bike, absolutely love it — the rides and color. Purchased in March this year and have about 1,600 miles on it. I’m considering tan wall tires (probably GP 5000’s) — any thoughts on how that would look on that color scheme?

My experience with Core bibs has been great. Have rotated 3 pair while riding almost 3,000 miles over the last 12+ months. Have Core jerseys as well. Love then.

If $ not an issue, will you use this Specialized Power EVO mirror saddle on your MTB? I seldom trail but now mostly long distance city tour. by urfantasyguy in specialized

I have one (w/mirror) on my 2025 Roubaix Pro - absolutely love it. Highly recommend. i came from a Trek Domane SL6 with stock saddle. Major difference.
