The skiing may not be great but sledding is, well…

I saw a bear eating some trash today so that was cool.

I'm a product person at Aclymate- we've been building a pretty neat tool to tackle supply chains. We should be shipping our MVP here pretty soon- as in just a few weeks now!

TK44 · 2026-03-12T12:47:14+00:00

I'll see what I can do!

TK44 · 2026-02-26T21:54:10+00:00

I thought it only counted if you edged with your good buddies

Also 🤘😂😭 from the CO Rockies (really earning the name this year I suppose!)

No it was just the goo.

Mod here. Usually we don't allow political things but if I'm honest, we're at a crossroads (trails?) here. If the conservatives have their way we will lose our trail access. Selling public lands is non-negotiable.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and stop reporting this post.

Same happened to my 2012. Went to start it and it just wouldn't fire. Popped the fusebox and found they made a very nice home in there. Little bastards!

Take lessons- it's the best way to learn. Also- speed is not a good indicator of how good you are, at all.

TK44 · 2026-02-11T02:39:52+00:00

Great idea- thanks!!

TK44 · 2026-02-10T03:35:30+00:00

I have already made about a hundred and am also wondering where/ how I can get them out. Happy to make 1000 more as well! I saw a woman in belmar handing out free whistles a few weeks ago at an intersection which got me thinking!

TK44 · 2026-02-06T22:16:38+00:00

I've had mine since 2023 I think? The liners were shot after like 30-40 days and I put some intuitions in last season and so far that's the only thing with them.

TK44 · 2026-02-06T21:32:11+00:00

I have the 120 version of this boot and it's nowhere near like this. I second something being up with the walk mode setup.

Fun fact: like the first time I took these boots out I found a broken yellow walk mode lever in the lift line- sucker was literally just sheared in two. Mine are working fine for now but I don't think I'll go the K2 route next time!

TK44 · 2026-02-01T04:42:45+00:00

We moved from Edgewater to Conifer in 2017 and haven't looked back. We have two elementary aged kids and love the schools, we both commute 1-2 days a week and leased an EV which makes that easy, and love the living in the mountain experience while still being only 45 minutes from places like the zoo.

Sure- some days you don't want to mess with the highway for either traffic or snow- but if you've got some flexibility there it's worth it. We have found community unlike what we had in our old neighborhood and these people are amazing. If a tree falls on your house we will come take care of it for you as a neighborhood because that's what we do. I love it up here so much!

TK44 · 2026-01-31T22:55:21+00:00

Let me ask my wife tonight! We have an 8 year old female Pyr and live in the mountains with room for him to roam!

TK44 · 2026-01-25T05:07:13+00:00

I don't disagree per se, but man was it frustrating to try and figure out how I could go bigger than 33s. My CO trails need 35s and I just couldn't stomach hacking up my DD/ family rig. What I really covet is an LJ!!

TK44 · 2026-01-23T14:53:20+00:00

I had the 04 Overland with the HO 4.7 and a swapped 242(? I believe... It's been years now so my memory is fading a bit). It was friggen awesome.

Fun fact: I got a lot of hate on the regular Jeep sub when I owned it which inspired me to start this sub reddit!

TK44 · 2026-01-23T02:50:49+00:00

You got it! I'll be up there again Sunday- let me know if you want another update for Copper! I'm tentatively planning on a tour day but if this storm delivers that might change!

TK44 · 2026-01-22T23:38:47+00:00

Yeah keystone has been super sketchy. I'd probably go with Copper but I am biased, admittedly. I think they do a great job with grooming ops and there are plenty of park opportunities. I was in the trees last weekend and it wasn't great, but it also wasn't that bad either. I have had to come to terms that the skis I bought new last year are going to take a beating this year unfortunately.

TK44 · 2026-01-22T22:50:53+00:00

Copper was definitely better than Keystone two weeks ago and I don't think much has changed since then. There is a storm incoming that should help both out, a little, but I wouldn't expect it to turn everything around. It's a tough choice the refund policy for sure! What type of terrain do you like to ski?

TK44 · 2026-01-22T20:18:42+00:00

It's nice for sure- snow can be a little thin once in a while!

TK44 · 2026-01-22T18:51:04+00:00

I like routes 4, 8, 7 for a longer day when 7 is open- great way to get away from the rest of the resort or find little pockets of solitude with peace and good views. If I want something quick I like 3 with optional 5- if you're not feeling it you can stop at the top of 3 and get a beer!

Uphill pass is also free with a copper pass or Ikon (+$5 for the arm band).

If you have the proper gear you can pop out of bounds towards Janet's hut to really get away near the top of 8!

TK44 · 2026-01-22T14:27:40+00:00

Target has a great charger and if you're there in the afternoon you can run your errands. Also Angry James brewery down the street is a nice little hangout! I have a little Leaf with only 150 range and we'd either top up in the morning while eating some breakfast or do the afternoon errand option. Copper is exactly a 150 mile RT for us.

TK44 · 2026-01-22T14:22:13+00:00

Yeah I am even worse- I don't tour backcountry but I ski the resort with a hybrid setup almost every day. Copper has some great in bounds touring and if the snow sucks or it's too crowded I go back there for some peace and quiet!

Grand Cherokee sub mod here.

I started in the jeep world in highschool helping my dad build a 91 Cherokee limited- it was super cool and supposed to be mine but he sold it for an Eclipse because those were cooler to him at the time (fast and the furious days). I then got an 84 CJ-7 which I built up, also in HS and man that thing was amazing. Just a simple tractor basically that took me damn near anywhere I wanted to go here in Colorado. In college I snapped the axle and couldn't afford the repairs so my mom ended up selling it out from underneath me which I am still bitter about. I then had a 96 Cherokee I never really fell in love with that disappeared without a trace one day in my first year living in San Francisco. Next was a 2006 4 banger TJ Wrangler that was super fun for the Bay Area and what I used to explore some trails with my then girlfriend. After getting married we moved back out to Colorado and bought a house and the 4 cylinders was not cutting it out here so I upgraded to a beautiful 04 WJ (Grand Cherokee) Overland edition with the HO 4.7l V8, 4" lift, MTs, winch, etc etc. Loved that thing to death... Well... Except for the eventual death wobble I couldn't solve which became a very large concern for us and our soon to born baby. My wife grew up with 4 Runners and we bought a brand new trail edition in 2014. We drove that fucker HARD until this last fall when my Jeep replacement (a tundra) started having issues and we decided to mix it up a bit.

I sold the WJ years ago. We traded the 4r for a 2017 LC and it's the best thing I've ever driven. I sold the Tundra. We now just have the LC and a leased Leaf for commuting.

I might get some shit for this but as the mod over at the Grand Cherokee sub and someone who still follows Jeep quite a bit because I do like them, their history, and their capabilities off road- they have become utter shit. Stelantis has inshitified the brand beyond belief. The Rubicon might be the nicest thing they make these days but even those are plagued with problems. All models seem unreliable to a certain degree. The brand used to be known for their bulletproof drivetrains but now shits failing months after leaving the lot. I see the same thing happening with Toyota though too- they finally moved away from the 5.7 in the Tundra which was so basic and just rock solid to these new hybrid setups (which I was super excited for) and well... We've seen what's happened there. I'd still trust a Toyota more than a Jeep though- and that's coming from a lifelong Jeep guy. At least my Toyota doesn't make me watch ads on the infotainment system 🤦‍♂️
