I know that guy and he is super nice guy who races cars in summer. Made in south hill. I have been on snowskates he makes and it’s a quality product.
Not sure how it skis because I don’t ski but he also makes snowboards too.
He just had a demo at Schweitzer. The shop up there carry them and I think they might let you demo one?

Interesting side story on TJ Sneva; his uncle is Tom Sneva who won the Indy 500 in 1983 and his dad is Jerry Sneva who also raced at Indy and was Rookie of the Year in 1977. His dad just passed away last month.Quote:

Your link didn't work so here's the correct link: www.snevamfg.com/
ETA: Oh, and by the way...I'm back so I'm not missing this next storm cycle!
I have not skied them. I have fondled them and the build seemed decent. They don't list a TR but man did they have some serious side cut. Just looking at them. The E5 196 is 146/110/126. The tips were also very soft and seemed decently stiff under foot, not as much as I would like.Quote:

Not a super big fan of soft tips but might have to go check them out sometime.Quote:

He can really do custom core work so if you wanna stiff tip, he can build it to your specifications.

49N reported a foot of new this AM, more like 16 with wind loaded drifts to 36"
stoopid fun off-piste and trees! firm base dead and buried;
even the afternoon chop skied nice
good to see ya b0ardski and meet the Mrs.
my knees got cold with all the waves of snow, pretty light for us, face shots galore
Schweitzer reported 4 overnight. More like 8 up top. What was killer, though was back country. We did two runs in Larch Park and I had mid thigh blower, Utah snow. It was incredible! Tomorrow's not looking bad but high winds are predicted. We'll give it a shot and see what we get.
If ya see me up there tmrw hmu! Brown coat, brown helmet, bright yellow 509 goggles and I'll be on my sfb sticksQuote:

I'll make it easy: green Freeride Systems coat and PURPLE pants. Heh.
Schweitzer gonna even pop today? Silver on wind hold until noon. Tomorrow gonna be sick.
Rolled to Schweitzer with mooseknuckles this afternoon. Was greeted with people leaving the mountain, strong winds and hammering snow. The skiing was nice and soft and fast. The snow just kept piling up. The last 3 runs of the day were silly deep and smooth. We scored last chair and had an amazing day ending run. Still hammering when we left .
Headed to Silver tomorrow for what should be a huge day with it only open for half day it's been nuking up there all day.
I might go to lookout pass tomorrow.
I completely understand about not wanting to drive through that mess. That pants looks perfect for hiking and hiking season is far away so I’m not in any hurry. I’ll catch you at Alpental at some point.

Schweitzer was alright. I think I just need to ski that area with someone who knows what they are doing. Everywhere I went it was skied hard and it was hard to find decent pow. Off the t bar was pretty sick though and snow under the triple was fast and surfy.
Not to be a complainer but I can't stand the lines at Schweitzer and how busy it is. Only upside to Schweitzer seems to be terrain and steepness.
Also didn't do the demo snevas. They had a sign that said I'd you fuck up the top sheet because you ski with your skis close together then you have to pay for damages. I decided that I'm too broke for that kind of bullshit

That sucks--I was loving the snow everywhere I went today and mostly skied onto lifts. I think it took about an hour for the storm to totally cover my tracks in a couple places. I would have been happy to show you around or suggest some runs but never spotted you.
Now I'm going to take one for the team and miss two weeks traveling. Should be awesome until at least the 10th is my prediction. Get some!
Atta boy! It was my turn last week and set y'all up for some epic pow over President's weekend. Now maybe I can get a reset to take advantage of?Quote:

I only skied until 11:30 then had to leave so probably missed some good afternoon skiing, although Sunday afternoons tend to be a little crowded due to Sunday Solution lift pricing.
That sucks. The only time we stood in line was on Stella but we only took one back there since snow ghost is down. The front side was wind loading real well. Skied 22k of vert in 3.5 hrs as it seemed everyone left. Tons of cars coming down the mountain on our way up.Quote:

I spent $10 for two days I rode at Schweitzer this season, so you know I’m looking for a deal.

Damn did silver deliver today!!
If anyone is in need of some major gaper entertainment this weekend, I'll be taking my homemade death trap mono board up to silver to try to get a few turns in on the bunny hill

Based on the previous thread you linked, that sounds like it could be a really bad idea. Did you mount this yourself? I could see a binding coming off and twisting your other, still connected leg off. But, whatever...carry on!Quote:

$5 lift ticket at Silver this Sunday with your “local area” passes and an ID. 4 cans of food for a lift ticket at lookout this Friday. 49n is free with Toyota. Lots of cheap sliding going on this weekend.
