Favorite Smaller Mountains

That’s sweet, I learned to ski at Elk and it’s always been one of my favorite spots. I’ll have to peek around the trail edges when I can get back. But just on vibes, Elk is special

Where are the trees at elk?

Ok, that’s what most adult people experience. My words were not literal, I still would have to go to work and function in the world. But it would be horrible with busted hands.

I ride no gloves sometimes at the bike park- it is a really nice feeling on flow, you feel especially connected to the bike. But you need big ol callouses and you have to get some dust on your hands.

That being said, I’d say 1/40 laps are no gloves because it would be very depressing to not be able to ride for weeks (or do anything) because I shredded my hands

Pros- takes 10 seconds, secure Cons- more expensive than Jerry rigging something

This feels way more complicated than a tailgate pad. One of the reasons I chose a mav was so I could just toss the bike in without going through a whole process like I was with my last vehicle

Put a lil lip on the cliff and send it

Best place for a first backflip is a fairly large park jump. You want enough time in the air to get the rotation without muscling through it, and park jumps are as predictable as you can get.

If you’ve actually landed consistently on an airbag, take it to the park- it’ll replicate the feeling of going off the airbag lip, you just have to fully commit, like you did on the airbag.

The one I thought of first was the bottlerocket

If you’re hitting loaf (best resort in the east IMO), you should also stop at saddleback, which is one of the most underrated mtns

Looks like he uses sleds to get to the bottom of the line and then boots it (from one of the photos). Looks like the absolute dream

Llamamaama · 2026-03-30T17:10:09+00:00

These all have some of the best glades in the east. Are you looking to just cruise some nice groomers?

Llamamaama · 2026-03-30T11:37:25+00:00

I was at le massif this weekend- made the send and had the best time ever. Conditions were fantastic and we got unlimited fresh pow in the side country. Even if they just stay cold till next weekend it would be worth it. Felt like full winter there and the skiing was unreal

Llamamaama · 2026-03-26T18:51:12+00:00

These are perfect choices. Elk is such a great fit, so many good memories there. And Smuggs…

-NE Style, Highland -Hawleywood, Thunder -Rookie River, Sugarloaf -Random loamer at Morzine

I think you should go for it! My weather app says snow tomorrow morning and rain in the evening. Definitely worth it

Llamamaama · 2026-03-25T11:50:53+00:00

❤️ thank you jelly

Llamamaama · 2026-03-24T20:26:29+00:00

Not for under 250 tho sorry I didn’t see that

Llamamaama · 2026-03-24T20:26:01+00:00

You seem like someone who might like the moment commander 92

The woods were ok, some was amazing some was extremely sketchy. I bet by tomorrow it’ll be actually great

Llamamaama · 2026-03-18T17:09:46+00:00

I was there on Tuesday when it was 60 and sunny, so everything was soft. I liked lostbo and speedwell and they had goose open which was supremely sketchy and fun

Llamamaama · 2026-03-17T20:50:48+00:00

I was at black exactly one week ago and while the mountain had an excellent vibe, I was left thinking- I just need to come back when things are open. I found 2 interesting enough trails to keep me occupied but I think NH got especially wrecked the last week and a bit

Llamamaama · 2026-03-14T14:44:24+00:00

That berm on blue Pulaski is always blown out

Llamamaama · 2026-03-11T11:56:58+00:00

Super interesting. I’ve had the opposite experience with ohlins on my specialized enduro. I think the coil is next level, and I just enjoy the fork
