The below photo is very silly. I pulled it from McCartney’s IG post from today. The skis!!! There have been so many amazing tributes, sharing of videos, and essays online. I really appreciated bill kreutzman’s essay. Ramblin’ Jack Elliot’s brief note was tearful. I appreciated that wavy wrote...

There were several years where General’s studdable p metric tires were a very good price on tire rack compared to any other snow/winter rated tire. Substantially better performance than all season and all weather tires (based on my experiences). Not as great as more expensive snow tire options or...

There was an avalanche fatality today of a snowmobiler (I think), apparently in the Johnson Canyon area. I’m not seeing anything about it yet on the SAC site, but here’s the Nevada county sheriff/SAR press release: https://yubanet.com/regional/nevada-...and-rescue-vol...

Thank you.

That’s kinda what I was thinking, but wanted some verification outside of my twisted head that it wouldn’t heat up the rest of the area. Cheers!

what’re some good methods to try to isolate the area for reheating to a very small 1-2” by 0.5” of the tongue? I have a hair dryer, heat gun w/heat controller, clothing iron, and waxing iron.

An edge of one side of the tongue of one of my wife’s liners has developed a foldover....

Bump

Is 303 fabric guard still the shit or has that changed with the new pfas regulations?

Bases can/will also become base-high from skiing the skis due to friction. If honing/polishing a base edge over time using a base bevel tool and stone(s) as the bases slowly become base-high, yer edge angle will change and maybe(?) your edge sharpness will also dull.

[bodywhomper]

Are/were your bases flat when you set the edge angle? If your bases are base-high, your base angle may be more than 1*....

first off, I hope your bad knee has been behaving. Did you end up going under the knife or use only non-surgical means for rehab.

i got refamiliar with my donjoy “bionic fullstop knee brace” that I wear on my “good” knee for preventative measure and refamiliarized myself with some...

I’m skiing with that brace w/ an apparently fully severed acl and torn medial meniscus. I’d like to assume that the mcl has healed, but I haven’t had imagery in a few years to confirm.

I’m using a non-custom donjoy brace on the “good” knee as a preventative measure that was...

You and another friend reopened my eyes to the fun of sub-76 skis.

Go narrower! Talk to PB. He’s got opinions and experience with lots of groomer zoomers.

buzz, I hope the recovery is swift and complete.



I haven’t skied this season yet (AAAAAHHHHHH!!!), but feel confident it’ll go well. The brace has been keeping things together well, and I try to keep on top of my exercises....
