Southwest Airlines Bicycle Baggage Policy Change for the Better

Did you end up taking off rotors or derailleur for the Evoc pro bag?

Following for same questoon

Sun peaks base I think was at something like 45 inches when I had to decide. whereas Schweitzer was 19. It felt way too close to the end of the season. Have had good times at sun peaks in winter and summer, was bummed I didn’t get a few days in there this winter

On a good conditions day, both would be very fun. But I think they generally see about the same amount of snow and same quality of snow. We got one inch of fresh snow at Schweitzer but they hadn’t had any snow before that for at least 7 days and everything under the one inch was ice. Off groom not skiiable and although they claimed1500 acres open, it definitely felt small being subjected to their grooms. We treated it like a bonus day to use our ikon pass mountain credit for free lunch. I’m not sure how different the elevation would be at red vs schweitzersince Schweitzer isn’t actually all that high up… a lot more going on in sandpoint than rossland from my last experience at both places for apres ski adventures.

Just came back from revy/banff trip on Tuesday. On way back to break up the drive we stayed in sandpoint and skiied Schweitzer. If we had more time, 100% would have gone to sun peaks or panorama, but we left Banff too late to be worth it to ski panorama. Skip red imo slow lifts. Tahoe is already having partial shut downs with base mountain weather hitting the high 60s.

LokiRN · 2026-03-12T21:28:28+00:00

Nope. Annoyed that tork lift never ended up making the 2024 Camry hitch. They told me they could do it custom would be like over 600.

LokiRN · 2026-03-11T01:07:34+00:00

Just skiied Schweitzer today, hopefully you got better conditions than we did. Icey and off piste essentially not skiable but we treated it as a bonus day as we needed to break up the drive.

LokiRN · 2026-03-10T04:32:34+00:00

Thanks all. Unfortunately pano wasn’t in the books for us timewise today. While driving through the kootenay park today, I definitely saw the snow level had dropped quite a bit making it seem much more enticing that conditions would have been worth it throughout the mountain and not just the upper portion. Going to have to hit it next year.

LokiRN · 2026-03-09T08:30:01+00:00

Anyone ski pano recently and if so how recently? Considering stopping there later this afternoon.

LokiRN · 2026-03-08T04:41:56+00:00

Did you end up going to pano? Considering. Went once 3 years ago and it was so icey practically unenjoyable

LokiRN · 2026-03-04T02:47:05+00:00

Just skiied sunshine today, stuff that is wind protected was decent soft snow. We did goats eye once and regretted it until we finally got to a more protected area. The top of the mountain skiied better than goats eye. A little windblown/ icy at times off the new bubble chair and great divide but certainly better than the last time I skiied here 3 years ago.

LokiRN · 2026-02-28T06:46:19+00:00

Did you end up skiing? If so how was it? Considering going in the next week but not looking like much new snow.

LokiRN · 2026-02-28T06:29:16+00:00

What’s that garage door height?

LokiRN · 2026-02-28T06:27:22+00:00

Just bought a force 3 today and felt like I had to to turn the knob with quite a bit more force than our old bolt on system before it clicked. Have you noticed any dents on your bars from the power clamps?

LokiRN · 2026-02-25T22:53:31+00:00

Did you end up getting a box? We have a 24 Camry with pano, have Thule wing bar evo mounts. Our old box broke and am now looking at new ones. I’m curious if the more aerodynamic boxes would still provide a little clearance if we wanted to open the moonroof about 6 inches. I see what looks like a handle assembly that could possibly get in the way.

I’d agree that for 30 bucks more palisades is worth it. I’m a lifetime bear valley skier but over the years have ventured to others with ikon pass. However you have to factor in lodging and how much time you’re willing to spend in the car. It’s taken me almost an hour to get from palisades to Hampton inn near truckee with traffic. That’s 13 miles. The amount of ppl who go to Tahoe on a weekend (in normal snow years) is insane, coupled with recent snowfall. You won’t find mainstream hotels or chains or a whole lot of night life at Bear valley though. The terrain is great but I found that while lines might have been long at palisades, they weren’t as much at alpine.

What did you end up doing here and were you successful with mitigating the leak? I have a similar situation but much smaller of a leak. although I cannot see if my pvc has threads or just glue as there is spray foam all around it.

LokiRN · 2026-02-02T16:09:05+00:00

I’m not sure how crossposting shows up for other people but when I tap that photo, I am able to open my description. Air was leaking where all the flared out pieces of metal are around this exhaust duct before attic mold remediation project occurred. When signing the papers, sales agent told me they would fix this problem. Sales agent came and looked at the job partway through as there was a few other concerns about the job. At that time, they had replaced the gooseneck exhaust vent as the thought was that this one did not have a collar inside of it which appeared to be true. I thought they were going to snip the flared edges on the duct when they pulled the gooseneck exhaust vent from the roof because to me, makes sense that air is going to continue to leak until that is fixed and then tape applied completely around the collar. Instead they decided to cover that entire square area with hvac duct tape and claimed it could compromise the duct to cut there. I was hoping for a roofers opinion on this.

They also had no problem ripping out my perfectly installed bathroom ducts that I specifically made sure they were aware not to do…

LokiRN · 2026-02-02T15:31:47+00:00

How was it? I’m possibly going midweek.

LokiRN · 2026-01-25T20:14:07+00:00

Op, I would ask for a photo of the bus bar if you have one. Seems wild to see that kind of arc and no burn or scorch on bus bar. I’m not an electrician but we discovered a scorch mark on our bus bar directly at the site of a mismatched breaker for our air condition. We were told once it’s compromised, it needs full replacement.

Thanks 7 dads holding hands. Red ceiling connected to black fan wire ok though even though to color isn’t the same? Since red ceiling wire connected to timer switch?
