Colorado B.S. Thread

and bump for selling my basket. 200$ OBO

 

let me know...if you're heading up on a sunday, i'd hit up the pass

 

Missing a beacon? Would not be in the back country without it. That's the most important thing to have. Especially this year.

 

Got my long tubes just dont have the balls to put them on by myself lol

 

I agree but I feel loveland is pretty chill without one. Anyone going to be at breck tomorrow?

 

Last words of someone who gets buried lol. I could care less if someone is out with out a beacon as long as its not with me. I want to make sure if I get buried they have equipment to find me. I also keep dog treats in my pocket because I'm betting my lab finds me first haha. I just do back country rescue and do not go out with anyone who is not prepared for the worst.

 

On a different note I may want to sell the 92 just to get something different. I have no idea what I want for it. Make an offer come look at it if ya want. I'll post it up in the for sale thread.

 

yessir...going to give the install a stab tomorrow..hope the eye mount fits

 

x2


i even have a personal policy of not picking up people at the passes unless they have a pack and gear...i do not promote backcountry riding without proper gear..you're useless to your group if you cannot find them in a burial...even if it's side country i'll bring my gear...

those slides in WA were not even backcountry, they were a 10m hike from a lift at stevens pass!

 

find a garage and some tools and i'd give you a hand... i have all the tools needed in my truck but a garage will be necessary especially this time of year

 

Agreed. In my group we even have a little talk about it before we go. Test all of our beacons to be sure they are all in frequency with each other.

 

there is a backcountry access point off chair 1 at loveland that has a beacon check point at the gate which i think is a great idea for backcountry areas..as you walk by the red X goes to green O (something like that) as you pass by

but either way, a pre trip check like you described is a must for sure

 

Yeah a lot of areas are starting to do that in CO I think it's a great idea. The pieps that I had before my tracker 2 would test everyone's in the group too. But I broke that beacon and I'm not teaching anymore so I didn't need to spend $200 more on a beacon. It was a nice feature though.

 

Anyone in the Denver area that wants to meet up late afternoon or for dinner with me and DH?

 

Thanks Bob!
not sure where I can go tho to use a garage without paying. Im pretty sure ill just have to wait till after my court date (mar. 14) till I can afford to get any help.

 

Possible. My mom dropped by this morning so I don't know if she is staying or just passing through.

 

it's really not hard...just gotta convince one of the guys on here with a garage to let you park it there for a few hours while we have some beers and turn some wrenches...not hard, i'll tell you what to do as you bust your knuckles

 

That would be sweet!!
