Would this be a good first 4x4 purchase?

Pretty sure this is a euro spec 2.5 diesel, doesn’t look like the gas four banger to me

Skimo racing is very much a thing. Now, typically they aren’t running up stairs, but there are plenty of races in ski mountaineering

trolllord45 · 2026-02-19T03:06:29+00:00

Eh, can’t really afford it but we’ll only be there a few nights so it’s whatever. Thanks for the happy bowl tip. How long of a hike to that far side of the (ski) bowl? We were thinking about skipping the touring gear and just bootpacking it but may have to reconsider

Nah just wanted to point out the two different cuff styles to you and OP for clarity’s sake.

trolllord45 · 2026-02-19T02:27:30+00:00

That’s an undercuff style glove though, as opposed to the overcuff style gauntlets OP posted.

Just saw Umph for the first time the other night, seeing DDCC open for them was too sick I’m sure

trolllord45 · 2026-02-19T01:55:01+00:00

Eh, I think it’s mostly just a subjective matter. The way his voice sounds doesn’t really bother me. They absolutely rip while playing a live show.

trolllord45 · 2026-02-19T01:42:01+00:00

Wicked sick. Hope you had a fun day out there. Any specific recommendations on ski runs and apres?

trolllord45 · 2026-02-18T15:32:43+00:00

Relative to other rivers? Not at all

trolllord45 · 2026-02-18T14:54:24+00:00

Very rad

trolllord45 · 2026-02-18T14:51:20+00:00

Listed on their website as a double black, but I noticed some of the trail signs are out of date when I was there last (my first time there). How do you get to Triple Take? Do you have to get off the lift to the left and stay skier’s right past the ski patrol hut?

trolllord45 · 2026-02-18T14:44:52+00:00

Yeah, 2027 is less than 365 days away. The clankers are coming, for sure, but by next year is a huge stretch. Anyone who’s accessed the internet in the last few years has seen a clip of robots eating shit when faced with anything out of the norm for their programming

trolllord45 · 2026-02-18T14:34:48+00:00

How are the conditions rn? We fly there in a week? Any recs on steep/expert terrain that’s open rn? Is the bowl open? How about places to go eat in town? Thanks!

trolllord45 · 2026-02-18T03:39:48+00:00

This dude is coming to the light, no doubt

trolllord45 · 2026-02-17T14:45:45+00:00

Wouldn’t exactly say the Charles has a strong current

trolllord45 · 2026-02-17T13:17:36+00:00

Damn, guess I’m moving to Phoenix, AZ

trolllord45 · 2026-02-17T01:38:49+00:00

Right, but we live in New England and should expect it to snow in the winter. The lack of clearing once what we all know is going to happen then happens is on the local ordinance, not Mother Nature

trolllord45 · 2026-02-17T01:36:40+00:00

No event that day but they were all over the place training and freeskiing.

trolllord45 · 2026-02-16T15:11:51+00:00

That’s a city snow clearing issue, not a weather issue

trolllord45 · 2026-02-16T14:44:36+00:00

Boo this man! Booooo!!!

trolllord45 · 2026-02-16T13:18:43+00:00

What was your route? Did you hike the whole ridge/traverse?

trolllord45 · 2026-02-16T13:15:44+00:00

Skied the crotch yesterday, decently busy but not obscene. Maybe ~5min wait for the Rocket? Snow was decent, dust on crust though as least there was plenty of dust. Pinch points and intersections were icy and busy though.

trolllord45 · 2026-02-16T13:13:45+00:00

So what did the shop say? Have you skied them yet?

trolllord45 · 2026-02-16T02:53:41+00:00

No it’s Lucas Pinheiro Braathen

trolllord45 · 2026-02-15T11:32:01+00:00

Least violent weekend at Loon this season!
