Bumped up an old thread in Tech Talk but only have a 1/2 or so on the Trew gear on the clymb...question is about the eagle pants and how much insulation they have? thanks

Oh no problem! The TECH TALK, JONG! insulation in those pants is great and will keep you comfortable in temps ranging from "oops- accidentally put this in the wrong forum" all the way up to "I just made multiple threads all with the same question in multiple forums".

Ya, I like this site.

Dr. Hutz just posted something nice as well. It involves schussable amounts o snow in the immediate forecast.

weathermen are all super gay!
look at all the colors on my map.


if it happens, it happens.
fuck any long range bullshit.

[rcamp]

haha, yeah I know. Just needed info fast. Missed the damn things anyway!!! oh well

[BigDaddy]

GetAmped, glad you are on the mend now, too. Sounds like a bitch, though. Of course, come to the Fest if you can and I'll see you have a roof and real bed!

Yes, I agree with Buttah, long range forecasts with any degree of accuracy are maybe 3 days. (Forecast for me this week has already changed three times).

[sb]

There will be periods of darkness followed by periods of light.

Good thing they are talking about 3 days from now

I agree generally. The best snow I have skied is the snow no one predicted.

I'm calling horseshit.

Buuuuuuuut just in case, probably going to take my FKSs off my Daily Breads and put them on the Praxis Pows... Goddammit I wish my plums were on something right now

proper preparation prevents piss poor performance

[buttahflake]

is that hutz?
nice look.

[lionelhutz]

Yes, I agree with Buttah, long range forecasts with any degree of accuracy are maybe 3 days. (Forecast for me this week has already changed three times).

Depends on what degree of accuracy require. Generally I think I can give about two weeks of "general pattern", 1 week of events within a 24 hr period, 3-4 days of "pay attention on sat/sun" type forecasting and 36-48 hours of "this is how much where"

[strawjack]

it seems to me that in the mountains or by the ocean they can't predict shit. last night there was no rain forecasted and it hasn't stopped spitting all morning.

I'll take your word for it. Google wouldn't translate that into english for me. Was that scientific jargon for it might snow this weekend? LH, may I suggest two versions of your forecasts or at least a dumbed down synopsis? I do enjoy them but can't understand half of it. Hahaha.

For me, I can wait. Never liked too early. Great way to end the season before it starts but to each their own. Be careful but enjoy.

drowned rat i was, but no wetter than when i surf

20% chance?! wtf does that mean?!

hopefully the ride home will be dryer tonight.

I don't know what any of the maps actually mean. I just like the pretty colors. I typically skim through, trying to pick up on some of the jargon, and look for things like this

somewhere high up along the spine of So. VT and/or the Whites would get a solid 8-10 inches of snow.

shit me too, except it snowed on the way home, so i wheelied the whole way so my front tire wouldnt wash out.

I appreciate all the variables involved with forecasting the weather, but these seasonal forecasts are never right. Good for getting stoked, though... That said, I'd say you do a great job for the most part. Seems you're onto stuff ahead of the curve and have often been right on. This week I rented a 66' lift for $1500 based on no rain...

Btw, what's the weather two weeks from this Saturday?

[neufox47]

That an event should happen 2 out of 10 times

Rog, i need to get you riding the little woods spot by the airport. i just cut in another short trail yesterday. I'll add a little then loop back around. it's a lot of work cleaning and laying out a new line! i need to break out the cordless sawzall for some bigger downed stuff in the way.

that adapter landed today.

[GetAmped]

Thanks for all the good vibes. I really am stoked to get the DBs out in some deep snow since that didn't happen last season.

BD, much as I would love to come up for the fest, I'll have to pass this year. It's killing me to miss my favorite fall activities (camping, hiking, trail clearing), but I have to be realistic and focus on getting back to 100% by the end of the year.

Totally cool, GA... You're smart to not push it and focus on what's important. We'll have a beer for you and Road Trip (or three) and hope to meet up on the slopes this winter... in some Magic powdah!!!

[road trip]

Always awesome to hear about other cancer survivors. Considering the best we've got right now is to poison the patient with enough toxic chemicals and radiation to kill the cancer without (quite) killing the patient, it's amazing anyone survives. I was diagnosed with throat cancer in June and went through 7 weeks of radiation and chemo that ended the 1st week of Sept. Now that the tumor is gone, recuperation is still rough and I feel like you do, definitely in the worst shape ever. With Nov and Dec I'll have time to get some muscle tone back and I'll be back at Magic with a whole new appreciation of life and the joy of skiing.

Damn! Between the two of us, we've got the full house of treatments. Chemo, radiation, surgery..... Glad to hear that your ride ended about the same time as mine did. And damn, are we going to have a helluva day when we have our "F Cancer" ski day (cough, cough.. season).

I can so relate to this one. I had one surgery in June with a 30 day can't-do-anything probation period and then, the big surgery in July had a 90 day probation period. There was 1 week in between when I said F it, got a place to stay at the beach and surfed for 5 days straight (thankfully, Ullr's surfing brother blessed me with nice longboardable pussy waves (I'm still learning...).

Take it slow and take care of getting back in shape. I'll be doing the same thing down here in Jersey.

Very much looking forward to meeting you @ Magic!
