If you are planning on having some bootfitting done, you need to call the shop ahead of time. I know most shops are only doing bootfitting by appointment.
If Bob and Keith are still at Sports Hub (I have not been in the shop since last summer, so don't know what their staff sitch is in light of Covid), they are both solid.

Also, what size boot is he in?

I have some 25.5 Tecnica Mach 1 LV 120 shells to unload...

Thanks for the offer! I think he’s beyond that size. He’s currently wearing 10US and 10.5 street shoes, but he hasn’t put his foot in a brannock device for over a year.

Sort of related: you started the new thread back in 2016 / 17 and that season turned out pretty well... so I'm thinking you should do the next one.

20/21 Tahoe Ski n Board STOKE thread plus skin cutting recs - snow and no corona for the Sierras!

[powdork]

Sierras? Fuck no i'll leave TGR if the new thread has Sierras in it.

[TahoeJ]

Pretty sure that was an intentional troll just for you. Haha.

[powdork]

Yeah I kind of realized. It would have been rude not to respond.

Not sure. I had a buddy who went up there yesterday afternoon with his two dogs. Bloody paw? Hawk got a ground squirrel and ate it there?
or if it was really bad maybe a cat with a hydraulic leak also comes to mind.

Bloody paw maybe--wasn't really they bad. Just kinda weird as there were drops for like 30 feet. Figured someone jonged a skin removal and cut a finger.

how are you dudes thinking it's looking for Tahoe this year?

[PB]

Royally fucked, just like every place else. Why do you ask?

[blackalps]

I'm moving soon and have a possible job offer near Reno. Just trying to figure out where will be the lesser of many evils when it comes to skiing.

Same as always: avoid the weekends, make sure you have plenty of beer/food so you don't have to leave the house F-Sun, stay off i80 west of Truckee on Fridays and Sundays, new batteries in your beacon, learn how tomget to Kirkwood without going through SLT, buy a pair of Moment Deathwishs so you look like a local...

you make it sound like he has no options. You could also get Praxis Skis or a Tahoe Lab splitboard

[heckacali]

Reno = Moment
Basin = Praxis

[powdrhound]

Reno = Moment
Basin = Praxis

What does it mean when you have both?

[blackalps]

Praxis or Moments. Got it. I was born in Reno but have only been back once, on a bus trip from LA to Kansas City, about 10 years ago.

You're Bi...

Didn't they move?

[TahoeJ]

I hadn't noticed, but yes, looks like they're in TC proper now. So I guess they can claim Homewood.

Fernley? Sun Valley? Dayton?
