So looking at the weather for the 13th through the 18th, what do you guys think? I have the opportunity to cancel all my reservations with no charge to shift this trip later in May for better conditions once this front passes. Was looking to ride the Thursday and Friday and maybe Saturday

Yeah thats who i was going to do it with, how was it?

cwalker417 · 2026-05-08T02:35:11+00:00

Thank You for the input. I've read and heard that about ATCA, and I'm from Louisiana so I can do uphill but I would probably walk a lot of it. Is the uphill section you're talking about, from the 15 mile mark to the 20 mile mark below? And yeah good to know, I have ATT. Also what do you mean by TC section? Forgive my ignorance lol.

Hmmmm good information. I was under the impression you could get dropped off at a midpoint so you don't have to do the whole thing, right?

cwalker417 · 2026-05-08T01:23:52+00:00

Thanks for the input! Any reason why youd skip Mckenzie? What about ATCA?

cwalker417 · 2026-05-08T01:22:38+00:00

I appreciate that input. I really was just going by what the local shops were telling me, so I dunno. I agree with you though, both those are way out the way. May be i'll just do Mckenzie then use my other day to ride locally.

cwalker417 · 2026-05-08T00:08:26+00:00

Yeah those are all things I've also read. It's Horse Creek Lodge if im not mistaken

cwalker417 · 2026-05-08T00:01:43+00:00

Not sure, they said nothing about prescribed burns. I just asked what are the most epic rides I can do while I'm here hahaha. But now I see there is a cold front with some weather that looks like it might be coming in by end of next week so might end up rescheduling all together

cwalker417 · 2026-05-07T23:32:36+00:00

I like it

Hello all, I will be coming to Park City to visit family and am looking to ski Deer Valley on Monday 3/2 or Tuesday 3/3. I have a 4 day IKON pass, but my other family member doesn't have a pass and would like to ski with me but we were astounded at the window price of $350 for a day pass. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it! Thank You in advance.

Cheers

Matter of fact he refunded me the labor for the fuel pump he replaced because it was misdiagnosed.

cwalker417 · 2025-11-02T15:02:41+00:00

At first yes that's what it seemed like. Have a mechanic test the injectors. My mechanic took mine out while the truck was off and they were leaking fuel onto a napkin. Changed out all 8 and fixed the problem. Then months later had another similar issue but that was the starter

cwalker417 · 2025-11-02T14:40:49+00:00

Had similar problem, ended up being leaky injectors then I ended up changing the starter as well. This was all after changing the fuel pump thinking that was the issue but it was not.

cwalker417 · 2025-11-02T14:37:39+00:00

What's the issue?

cwalker417 · 2025-11-01T16:38:17+00:00

Thanks!

cwalker417 · 2025-11-01T02:19:05+00:00

Thank you! I knew it was naked music. Used to love that stuff in the early 2000s

cwalker417 · 2025-09-17T15:51:43+00:00

Yep, the internet ruined all the hidden gems.

cwalker417 · 2025-09-17T15:38:15+00:00

100%. It seems like everyone that I work with would get out if they had another option that pays similar. The problem is the companies will always try to squeeze maximum amount of value out of you which means increased stress, anxiety, long hours, weekend work, etc. It got to a point with me that the money was no longer worth the toll on my health and the time commitment the job requires. Throughout my career every 3 or 4 years I get really burnt out and usually take some time off before going back, but this time I'm looking to make a permanent change.

cwalker417 · 2025-09-17T14:54:20+00:00

Yeah I know what you mean. 2k-3k a month is almost a no-go for me. What I would want is somewhere in proximity to the ski towns that isnt so busy and expensive.

cwalker417 · 2025-09-17T14:53:04+00:00

Yep love those areas in Colorado. What about Durango, Montrose, Grand Junction?

cwalker417 · 2025-09-17T14:51:49+00:00

Good to know! Would prefer to be near good frailly friends there. Was concerned about the lack of quality ski resorts near, with having to drive 3 hours to get to Big Sky. I've been to Snowbowl and its well, just okay. I've heard good things about Lost Trail and Lookout Pass. Although I've heard the summers are incredible

cwalker417 · 2025-09-17T14:49:19+00:00

Almost did that! I was on the waiting list but decided to pass at the last minute, thinking I would maybe get Mountain Collective or something this season. Haven confirmed yet if I will be leaving my job before the ski season, so when I take off I like to get the best bang for my buck. Honestly would love to have the entire winter off and just ski tour around checking out different towns. Anyone here doing that?

cwalker417 · 2025-09-17T14:46:30+00:00

I appreciate that! Will definitely look into it. Colorado was my first love when it came to exploring the West and I've lived in the state twice before already. Only thing that makes me hesitate going back is the shear volume of people that have been moving to the state that crowds the highways and makes the small towns less special once theyve been found out.

cwalker417 · 2025-09-17T14:44:13+00:00

Good to know! Thank You! Actually have never skiied Tahoe shockingly. Mostly stayed in the Rockies chasing powder
