    The bcXCD Thread

    I think they’re 190s. They’re fine for laps around the town park when it snows. Downhill on them, for me, is crouch low and straight line. Even small hills are exciting. Question is: Is it worth it to move those bindings onto wider skis? Probably not right?

    The bcXCD Thread

    Here are my current XC skis and boots. It’s mostly just stuff I picked up on the cheap here and there to experiment with. I’m ignorant on all this. Tell me what I have

    The bcXCD Thread

    I will have to look to tell you the specific model but they are very lightweight Alpinas and the NNN BC bindings I have are pretty light too. I was trying not to buy a whole new setup but I guess I need to think about that further now

    I’m thinking of treating myself to some Fischer S-Bound 112s. Anybody have any experience with them? https://www.fischersports.com/us_en/s-bound-112-crown-dual-skin-xtralite/N53024 I’m viewing them as a sort of poor man’s Charger- mainly to be used in Harriman on hiking trails and woods roads...

    F Vail

    Not surprising. Vail does not like to spend money on snowmaking. Stu interviewed Rob Katz and the Hunter GM this year and it didn’t take much reading between the lines to figure that out. Cutting employees’ hours to the minimum is part of the same strategy

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    GA you have a source for your negative perception of Obermeyer? Your Wikipedia link doesn’t say anything bad about him and his interview on the Powell Movement over the summer - while it’s based on a 105 yr olds recollections - didn’t strike me as lacking in credibility. Episodes 434 & 435 BTW...

    Drones over New Jersey

    I don’t think anything- just trying to help. As someone who paddled a canoe within a couple of feet of a 4-6 foot long turtle that the 3 other people with me completely missed, I have a lot of sympathy for you. I have been fascinated by this stuff my whole life. I would love it if we could make...

    Drones over New Jersey

    I’m pretty open minded but most stuff has a simple explanation. If you want to be taken seriously, get a quality camera and take video and record exactly where you are on the map and the compass bearing to what you see. You are probably going to discover that the orbs are Jupiter or some other...

    ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

    It makes sense at least. Nobody wants to pull the trigger on a big project without the necessary infrastructure in place- except ORDA I guess
