BallClapperSuppose I found 193 bighorns, pretty beat, no bindings posted for 300. I was thinking hypothetically offering 150. Assuming they need a base grind and edge tune.

I hear they'll make the whole mountain your playground

The Big Horn makes the whole mountain your playground. We designed a new layup for the Big Horn with Freeride World Tour Champion Isaac Freeland that preserves its playful nature while improving its ability to hold up to the highest speeds and largest airs on the mountain. What we've developed is the perfect balance between the confidence to shred anything and the playfulness to jib to your heart's content. Available in 96, 106, and 114mm widths the Big Horn has a full poplar wood core with layers of biaxial carbon fiber wrapped in vibration dampening rubber sandwiching the core.

I want to hit Loveland pass early this year. I used to hit Mt Rose trailhead in Tahoe. Seems like similar vibe but I want to go with someone who knows it

When you say love pass what are you referring to? Early season the only thing worth hitting is the hike park, and I do know some zones but they are primarily for building booters, not so much good BC riding

Farmville420Id def be down, pretty much every single riding buddy I have moved away over the summer so I'll definitely hit you up to go to the pass lol
a basin, troll, and some place called ski ward have all fired up the guns already this season. a basin said they did it with the warm temps to get the ground wet and cool so when the time does present itself, they are more successful with their snowmaking efforts. never heard of this but its exciting i guess.
fuck a basin for ditching the parks though. i dont give a shit about going there opening day if theres no features. so really, i’ll take a long hot october. the less it snows, the safer the backcountry terrain is. if we could get no storms until november and then flip the switch to winter storms, could be a legendary season forsafely skiing in avy prone areas
Agate420No hate on on3p but when did the Charlie Murphys increase in price. $750 for a 151cm kids ski is outrageous
Scott said on the recent gear 30 podcast they cost as much as the regular skis to produce. So that’s why they’re expensive and the sole length they chose was that a kid will be able to stay on this size longer than the previous shorter lengths.
Skiing is pretty cool. Would like to do some. Like now would be good. Have a bunch of goofy grabs I want to do. Never seen any of them done. Hand drag 3 to a grab is on my trick list for this season too. Like one hand on the snow the other grabbing. Seeing a boot fitter Friday. Also been in the gym, legs going to be swol. Fuck arms. That’s what bikes are for. Yeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh.

GrandThingsLol I love that you guys are learning dubs and I'm like "damn it would be sick to learn a grab other than safety"
just hoping my hill has an actual proper jump to learn on this year. been multiple seasons since we’ve had a proper one, damn cat crew can’t figure it out
ReturnToMonkeyI really hope my body cooperates this year, id love to learn dub 10
Dude you got it 100% there is nothing technical about dub 10 just dial your cork 7 set power up a notch and hold onto safety. It comes around so easy it’s just one commitment away
Make it sound so easy. I’m a Jerry so probably not this season. Plus I’m scared of park jumps.

The hardest part of grabs is using the right muscles. A lot of people try to just reach for their ski but the key is to really pop hard and use that momentum to bring your feet to the right place where your ski gets placed in your hand, if that makes sense. If you just reach, you kinda lose balance. If you bring your skis to your hand, you gain more control. It does take some strength especially if you're spinning.

Dude 100% - I'm a lanky mf so I could brush the tops of my skis just by reaching down, but then I'd land so front seat and go over the handlebars. It was an epiphany when I realize it was easier to suck my legs up and get into a little ball.
When you grab mute, do you go left ski over right, then grab left ski with right hand? What's sketching me out is the crossing skis part.
(I still only hit small/medium jumps so I might not get enough air time to do a real proper one, but I'd love to get a photo of me doing a legit mute grab)
