Anyone know what's up with Clarks Bike and Ski (nee Donner Lake Bike and Ski)? Facebook says hours irregular, call to arrange work. Phone no longer in service. Only shop I really trust around here--I appreciate being able to talk to the guy that actually does the work and cares to do a good job.
Things are getting pretty brutal for the local shops. I just got some new skis mounted... overnight. Could have had them the same day, which I've never heard before - even during the past few years. Yeesh.
Repair business must be good though.Quote:

speaking of mounts, anybody have a rec who can do tech bindings (dynafit speed radical)? I'm on the wood pass now and so haven't been through truckee to hit sports exchange in months. is there a shop in the kirkwood valley anybody can trust?
I have a Dynafit wide jig and am in Reno. I'm out of town until Sun night though.
Not sure of anyone in the valley but if you make the drive to Myers Kent at Watta bike does good work. 530-544-7700
I'd bet even the repair biz stinks right now.Quote:

Man, I hope Greg keeps the lights on. I've had both ski and bike work done there. Great work, very reasonable prices, and about the nicest guy I've ever met in my life.
great to know, appreciate the referral.Quote:

Man it was brutal today at Squaw.
Think it's the worst we've had this season.
Wish we'd gone to Alpine.
Being pussies & heading to NS tomorrow
Tahoe Sports Hub is the new name of the sports exchange if anyone is looking for it on line.Quote:

Ya Greg is still doing great work in that shop. He's there in the mornings and race trains at sugar bowl mid day then back in the shop later in the day. Hit or miss but worth it.Quote:

Yes Sugarbowl was fun today, some good corn out there as wellQuote:
