Plattekill's season starter feels like a homecoming or a family reunion at this point. And this year's first day was one for the books. This pic is actually from Sunday morning Me and Junior were on the schedule for Sunday but we didn't want to miss the first day so we got a motel...

In my limited uphilling experience I have found that mismatched width (skin narrower than the ski) has not been a problem. I also lost a tail clip on one trip and haven’t replaced it and not had any issues- although I haven’t put in enough time to really wear out the glue yet. Since I started...

Day 2

I’m feeling pretty good about my early season this year. I did a better job of maintaining my fitness over the summer so my first day up at Killington felt pretty good, no burning thigh muscles or early bonking. And then I was able to ski Hunter on Black Friday which was also tons of fun. I got...

Seems like that’s the plan but you never know

Yes, absolutely- I’m sorry I didn’t reach out

It’s a joke

Speaking of birds, this is worth an hour of your time I laughed aloud several times

Cat is open. They started with just the Masshole side cause the NYS tax on open ski acreage is so onerous- it just doesn’t pay early season- still some lift maintenance left to do apparently

Hang in there lil camper. Like Ripitz said, Alpine isn’t the end of the world. And I’m willing to bet somebody here will figure the right setup and/or PT to keep you out in the woods too

If I had a nickel for every time somebody told me it’s “recession proof”…

Hey RA, do you listen to podcasts? This one is pretty good. Season one is Bigfoot and season 2 is UFOs https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wild-thing/id1434465245

I don’t think it’s realistic to expect the roads to be perfect everywhere all the time, no matter how much money is spent. I mean, that would be pretty insane.

This is true but one thing you can do is make them a lot worse, which is why it’s good to know for sure what you’re dealing with

You should call it the IL - “injured list” DL is out of use and has a dual meaning that is unrelated to this topic. Also, you should get a chest x ray in my opinion.

Last question is should I go 189 or 179? I’m 5 foot 9 inches and currently 180 LBs but when I get lazy I tend t9 roll up into the 200 LB’er range. Looks like I’m right between the two on Fischer’s size chart

Me and @Steve A met up at Hunter today. One way down but it was wall to wall and deep. Skied under the guns all day and my legs are toast. Good stuff Belt should be open soon

Yeah, I meant 112 so magnums. I guess I misunderstood. Where to order from? That’s tough. Not many options for the 112s other than the Fischer store. Is there anything wrong with Fischer bindings?

So S-Bound 116s in 189 length and Rotofella Xplore 68 NNN BC manuals and stick with my Alpina boots for now? …. But I’ll be better off with heavier boots down the road? Is everyone more or less in agreement?
