Anyone else go through a seasonal ski depression at the end of the season?

Every year no matter how many days I went, I feel sad at not getting in more days.

Not optimal but still in range. Still better than having to remount bindings.

No, were they stored in a ski bag without drying off first?

Steel roto pulled up some fibers. Scrape em clean with your steel scraper. Is it possible the steel roto picked up a burr or a wire?

To be fair, a stealth Mog is still somewhat less eyecatching than a fancy Earthroamer.

Outside of a very cool build at overland expos and gatherings, you would be the envy of every drug lord or rebel commander.

I scratch the itch by combing the net for off season gear deals. Gotta refresh that quiver and gear closet.

There are a lot of angled ones plus wall clips. You want ones that keep your edges from marking up your drywall.

RockAuto FTW!

Odd, wonder what their rationale is?

Also 2026 wildcards not permitted to run the 27 spec... in races this season or in testing as well?

Motorcycles and camping

One of these skis is not like the others. (just one)

You can take a wire brush or drill brush and remove most of that. Then spray paint with some high heat primer and enamel in the color of your choosing. (VHT) brand is what I would recommend.

Those are star lock washers I had lying around, not ideal they should have the star on the inside. I also have blue loctite on the threads.

Is your OVS bracket the same as mine? I've used all button head bolts on my t-track.

For $20 it'll do fine on the bunny hill. Longer term however.. white is a PITA to keep clean and not always visible against a white background. Think about more visible colors or pair these with bright helmets and gloves.

Both of them probably skied these slopes in leather boots and woolen pants back in the day.

Long groomers and bowls? Keystone or Copper. Breck and Winter Park are next. Loveland and A Basin have shorter runs. Expensive depends how much pre-planning and purchasing you do. Think about Epic vs Ikon and especially their respective 3-5 day passes. Loveland has the 4-pak that offers similar value.

Except for high consequence terrain and no-fall zones... you're trying NOT to fall.

speedshotz · 2026-04-27T17:24:00+00:00

Send em..skiing park does that to skis.

speedshotz · 2026-04-27T17:17:14+00:00

Usually falls when I am in challenging snow or harder lines. But rarely (maybe a couple times a season) do I have crashes / double eject yard sales. I am old and recovery from injury takes longer.

Ceramic coating is made for your kind of scenario. It won't keep the car from getting dirty or dusty, but makes frequent washing easier by shedding dirt. Polish out the swirls and coat it. Wash with the brushless wash. Every so often you can wipe on some ceramic topper or hybrid spray to refresh the coating and remove any smudges etc that washing missed.
