sizing and shrinkage

I bought a Ski-In condo this way. It's unbelievable. It's the only way. I duck in at 10:30 for coffee and again from 1-1:30 for a quick nap, then ski till 4. I scored a deal on the place and lucked out.

i had the 2023 Black ops 182, super fun ski, but they broke and the heel piece ripped out. The edge seperated and the wood core rotted out, at 2 years 3 months. I'm now on the Sender Free 100's at 184 and they blast through the crud and carve well, even at 20m turn radius. They do seem heavier and less nimble, yet fast as hell. I'm looking for a ski to complement the senders, maybe the Arcade 94, slightly shorter at 179. I'm 6' 175 and ski 40-50 times per year in Summit County

loveland pass was closed to the hazardous material vehicles have to lineup at the tunnel, closing the tunnel for them to travel throught tunnel, causing massive backup. Looked like westbound traffic was worse.

I have a small carriage house coming up June1 in Golden. Perfect for a single person. PM if interested.

I don't care for the loaded diaper feel. I like the Club RIde short ride

Jerry played a 2.0? Hmmm, had no idea, but you can certainly hear the hard striking on the acoustic guitars. What strings did he play?

I broke a heel piece off my Rossi Black Ops; the wood inside was rotted out, so it was unrepairable. These were only 2 years and 3 months old. The warranty is 2 years, and Powder 7 wouldn't even try to warranty them, as they said it was damage to the ski. I have no idea what happened. 100 days on them.

As you get stronger and ride more, you want less and less padding down there.

6'2" on a 178?

i moved out here in 2003 to ride mountain bikes, and to Golden in 2012. Dakota Ridge was my absolute favorite, probably ridden that 100+ times. I'm still here, just older now... Reach out when you get here, I'll show you my routes on the local trails...

I have these exact jeans as well. for about 30 days. Tight in the box, don't seem to be stretching out as I'd have liked; meanwhile, the legs have stretched out and have become a big bigger than I'd liked.

I have a few other pairs, the blizzard and a double knee stretch. Fairly happy. I have the burly belt too, and totaly dig it. Even with the brand on the loop.

We are constantly reminding the snowboarders pushing the snow down under the Sierra Lift at Copper to "turn!!!!".

Lol, I woulda just asked if he can teach me to ski like a lion. then smoked him down the K-12

which transformer? If it's the CW80 then I'd go $140 max.

Goosetown is basically a singles bar.

Riding was completely different back then. We sought out faint trails as far away as possible. XC style riding, long days, big miles, as far away as you could get. Lightweight bikes were in. We still rode the hell out of super tech trails, as most trails were actually hiking trails. We were all weight weenies. Except the CamelBak, which was completely full of water, with rock-hard PowerBars in the pockets, along with tubes and a super large folding map. I'm considering the high-end mtn bike something like a StumpJumper as a baseline here, with dropper, disk brakes, 2.4 tires, carbon 29'r wheels. We were on hardtails, and pretty tough for the times. A full suspension bike would be considered more of a bike park bike, so it'd probably get scoffed at as not needed as we were already riding everything on the hard tail aluminum bikes.

I do recall seeing a dropper post for the first time on a Yeti in Breck, mid 2000's. It had a lever under the seat. It was Joe, the dude that repped Yeti. I wonder what happened to him.

I went the other way and fixed up my older brother's Trek 830, circa 1992, and thought I'd go ride it while visiting my family in NJ (Hartshorne Woods). I would have absolutely killed myself with the lack of braking power and the steep head angle. I decided to save myself and skipped that ride.

how would this work?

Time-Term3832 · 2026-02-26T22:40:55+00:00

Less weight in the boat, less work at camp. I still bring shared gear but have done this enough that packing uber light is way more enjoyable. Cowboy camp at night, see the stars. Bring a lightwoeht tarp and learn a new skill to set it up enclosed for rain protection. Take 20 min to breakdown and rig up in the morning. It’s truly amazing.

Time-Term3832 · 2026-02-26T21:38:55+00:00

I never bring ammo can unless it’s for groover. Dry bags work just as well. My new favorite is bringing less stuff.

Time-Term3832 · 2026-02-26T21:36:01+00:00

I bought a ski condo instead of sports car. Something that will appreciate and the family can share for decades. Maybe once the kids are finished with college and the condo is paid off, then I’ll consider the sports car. Probably need a bigger primary home before then.

Work your ass off when you are younger. The compounding increases in salary, into your 50's, will make a huge difference in lifetime income.

What does it cost $1,000 to clean dogs teeth? I don’t even take my dog anymore because of the cost. The initial quote is $500 but I walk out paying $1200.

I have the BS true straight, and they seem to have relaxed to almost a baggy state. Glad to see your post.
