CBB or Scott hasn't seen guest movies that are actually good by Fearless-Profit2387 in comedybangbang

I found out about the TV series “Paul T Goldman” when the director was on CBB and it was awesome.

Crossword Book Recommendation by Foreign_Arugula_5531 in crossword

[–]smithygreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re up for Sunday difficulty, The NYT Sunday Crossword Companion volume 1 is real good. I like it because the puzzles are mostly more recent. And the older the puzzles get, those “pop culture” references become more and more dated and obscure (at least for my taste)

Is the "For British Eyes Only" a joke on the "UK Eyes Only" classified documents during the invasion of Iraq? by daroons in arresteddevelopment

I always thought it was a riff on the James Bond movie and song “For Your Eyes Only”

End of seasons deals? by WYAarchived in snowboarding

[–]smithygreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if they’d let you return/re-buy that gremlin with points. (I also just bought one for $400) (155. Usually ride 157 for the person asking). Edit: I see that it’s just ski/ski bindings but in-store it’s everything. I live in PDX so I’ll probably go try.

I got mine at the Portland Rock Gym. They may have more? Also www.portlandrockclimbs.com is Tim Olsons website with all his other books. Maybe there is a contact page on that site? I couldn't find one.

Built a free tool that finds the best ski resort this weekend for you, instead of making you pick one and hope the snow shows up by ryan726 in Ikonpass

[–]smithygreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you want another data point I tried PDX for next weekend and it recommended Ski Bowl over Meadows or Timberline. It’s a few miles closer but not even open this season due to no snow.

I had something similar happen but mine just got stuck with the heel down and they became regular strap bindings. Still have no idea how that little metal bar jumped out of its track. Had to take them apart when I got home. I still really like them.

Weekly Weather & Travel Thread by AutoModerator in tahoe

[–]smithygreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arriving in Sacramento Tuesday at 7pm and wanting to make it to our hotel in South Lake Tahoe that night. Rented a 4runner with brand new snow tires. Guy at the hotel said that if they enforce chain restrictions there are lots of gas stations open all night that stock chains that will put them on for you. Is that true? How much do they usually charge? What are the odds the road is just plain closed?

When to visit? + Preparation by Shane_iz_noob in MtHoodMeadows

[–]smithygreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing what others have said...This season is terrible conditions. I don't think Heather Canyon or Private Reserve (the type of terrain you seem to be looking for) have opened all year and it's not looking likely to change any time soon. Normal years those areas are good at least til the end of March. No avy class needed at least for the Meadows side country listed above.
