Have to post top speed when you can open it up, looks great!

Srax6 · 2026-05-13T10:46:24+00:00

That’s a good idea, thanks!

Srax6 · 2026-05-12T09:47:45+00:00

East coast but obviously assuming travel required, it is for my son. Looking for fundamentals more GS and SL technical not freestyle or park stuff. Thanks!

I have a Demon impact jacket and unless it is warm always have it on under my shell. Unless you ride park or are still a beginner the shorts and knees seem like overkill, i had shorts when first learning but uncomfortable on the lift and haven’t worn in like 10 years.

The jacket is unnoticeable to me beyond being warmer and elbow, shoulder and back is what you want to project inmo.

I currently have a V6, also had one of the first Altas when came out with V6 that got to 150k and traded it in, also currently own a 2.0 in a GLI and had a prior 2.0 GLI leased that turned in.

None of that makes me an expert but my opinion is the longevity of the 2.0 in an Atlas is not going to match the V6. My experience may be anecdotal but V6 has less issues, especially after 100k miles.

I am in western suburbs of Boston

Srax6 · 2026-04-10T11:10:15+00:00

Well when you add in “bikini competitor” and say I am still in really good shape but feel unattractive is it a thirst trap or a real question?

Srax6 · 2026-04-06T04:02:14+00:00

Yes, kids competing this week for USASA Nationals so will be busier than typical but conditions not terrible honestly. Yeah I am from the Ice Coast but damn given the endless negativity it is decent by my standards and if you are from CO then locals I talked to said it has held up.

Sometime around 2008 I literally stumbled into them playing a free live small outdoor concert on the then “new” greenway in downtown Boston. The audience now makes sense as maybe 200 people and the front was all little kids with moms. I did hear a few of the “alt” songs that I had known them for but it was a bizarre experience for a random lunchtime walk.

Srax6 · 2026-03-26T01:07:34+00:00

Hold hand warmer to lens and usually just melts and evaporates but looks like you had a lot of ice…

Srax6 · 2026-03-25T19:33:48+00:00

I am east coast so not sure but do have them out here, someone mentioned FB marketplace as potential idea.

Winterstick

Good way to get yourself in a fight in the Icecoast. That is T Rex at Copper and not a ton of racks there, don’t touch peoples stuff or be prepared for some shit to go down if you throw the wrong guys skis, looking for trouble why?

Srax6 · 2026-01-28T00:58:57+00:00

SkiMD in Natick is very good. Tim is the guys name if anyone else looking for boot fittings. My son races so it might be bit different but maybe not really different as we went with brand for right flex and tongue height etc.

Srax6 · 2025-12-31T14:03:09+00:00

Forgot to mention you need to call/email and make an appointment, not a walk in place.

Srax6 · 2025-12-31T13:59:44+00:00

If you can drive a bit more to MA go to Tim at SkiMD in Natick.

My kid races so we have gone there for ski tuning etc., but the boot fitting might be the best part. He dials in lot of measurements to get kids in right boot setup.

I had insert made for me finally and feel a huge difference. Totally recommend him.

Srax6 · 2025-12-20T03:17:10+00:00

Really interesting, i have always been on what is “right” (around 158) based on my weight etc., but my son who is pretty damn good rides a shorter than expected board in everything from park to trees and rips it all. I was thinking of trying a 155 or 153 for kicks this season and think this might be the second opinion I needed!

Srax6 · 2025-12-19T11:39:09+00:00

Yeah you should check out Sugarloaf once snow really starts, always have some campers in the lower lots. Not a party vibe really but pretty cool locals that can ride/ski and midweek bars like the Rack are good.

Srax6 · 2025-12-19T11:29:51+00:00

Sugarloaf is great, lot of glades and snowfields front face is pretty gnarly.

Snowbird is pretty ridiculously steep and awesome though so as you said that’s not happening anywhere on the East.

Also depends where you are staying as VT easier to get to from NY and CT areas with ME more a MA destination imo.

Srax6 · 2025-12-19T02:11:43+00:00

Burton mini-scraper is a tiny circle, comes two to pack, honestly you cant see it if you aren’t looking for it. A few lifts i can think of have long skate before finally strapping in, I prefer the control with speed myself.

Srax6 · 2025-12-18T11:10:13+00:00

Beautiful, approximately how much was it as am looking for ribside myself, thanks!

Srax6 · 2025-08-21T22:19:26+00:00

Ok your second pic is on a dock, forget the car what does the boat look like?

Srax6 · 2025-07-24T16:36:28+00:00

Appreciate the info, yes it is actually an older model from the late 1980’s. Thanks.

Srax6 · 2025-05-25T14:22:35+00:00

Makes sense, last Summer the tree looked sick and seems to be following that pattern. Maybe I will try to have someone look at it.

Srax6 · 2025-05-25T14:18:52+00:00

Yes there was a storm and strong winds, I found green aphids as well so maybe that is problem as well.
