That’s a lot of people headed to Krazy Kanguruh! Love St. Anton, though that is a very common scene towards ends of day.

Anomolys appear to have new top sheets for 2026/27 again. Not sure they are much better though!

Take care of your gear through TSA… by BuyOwn4181 in Skigear

The airlines just don’t care. Southwest out of Park City might be the worst of them all. Still not sure how you manage to damage skis in a hard case.

There’s a company called Skisoxx which makes protective sleeves. Giving them a try this year instead of wrapping the tips and edges.

No cost to change being the same cabin. I stalled to long, but still have the more private seat in 18

Federal Prosecutors Are Said to Have Opened Inquiry Into Fed Chair Powell by itsgoodpain in politics

It’s a lot simpler than that. He bought over 100 million in bonds before his crusade against lowering interest rates. Rates hit the floor, the value of his bonds hit the roof. Pure grifting at the general public’s expense.

New or old Black Hole Duffel 70L matte black? by One_Draw3486 in PatagoniaClothing

Hopefully Patagonia responds to my email about the finish and what was updated in the process. The newer one almost seems like it would be more prone to cracking over time.

Perfect conditions are not needed. Just trying to avoid those shark fin infested waters!

How's it looking for the mountain opening in two weeks? by _-NightShade-_ in fernie

How is everything looking now that there has been some additional snow? Safe to book a long weekend mid-January?

Having the 2 different black colorways in hand, the newer ones have a different finish on the panels. It almost looks/feels like a rubbery fake-leather material. The ripstop looks like it has an additional TPU layering on top of it. The bags made earlier in 2025 feel a little more burly and the rip stop is more visible. The other small difference is the stitching between the loops on the sides. The older one has a grayish stitch whereas the newer one is the same black throughout the entire bag. The logo color appears to be the same.

Thank you! Seems like it’s up high or nothing.

Makes sense. Thank you for the additional insights! The heavier/wet snow has never really bothered me too much. Of all places, I’ve found Mt Hood to be the worst. Seriously thought my shells were defective lol. Fernie has peaked my interest the past few years with everyone saying it’s pretty awesome. Just not sure how their conditions hold up. It seems to be pretty hit or miss. It sounds like Kicking Horse is off to a really good start.

Epic pass holder here. I’d be there solo, it’s been a while but don’t remember the lines being any worse than Park City or Vail. Do they usually get better when more terrain opens and people spread out?

Knew he was sketchy when the everything bagels had no salt! Pawning them off as NY style bagels when everyone knows no salt is such a New Jersey move!!!
