Fuck no. I don't want to miss out on another good season!!!!!

I didn't buy a pass the other year when it was great, and then I did last year only to see terrible snow. So it better not snow a bunch when I'm not there.

just kidding, I hope it snows a bunch. I'm not buying a pass this year so I want to do a bunch of backcountry in the spring.

 

Buying a pass is a waste of money IMO not saying I won't ever again, but it won't be until I'm teaching my daughter. We have so much back country that's free to ride or ski.

 

Fuck snow man im not looking forward to it at all, Actually thinking of going to Arizona and living with my uncle for the season. Seriously i hate snow that much, Plus my uncle is rich and his house is huge with a pool and spa haha and a badass game room! Plus he owns a corvette and a sick NSX that he lets me drive while im there.

 

Snow bird.

 

Off Topic.

How hard is it to do the front shocks? I have seen the "How to" thread that chris4x4 did and has no pictures. I guess the problem that I don't visualize is the part with the castle nut. A) because I don't know what the upper ball joint and the spindle are.

"Then, remove the 19mm castle nut holding the upper ball joint to the spindle. You will need to use the needle nose pliers to remove the retaining wire. Once this is removed, wire or zip tie the spindle so as to not let it pull or put tension on the brake lines"

and then having the shock come out.... if anyone has pictures or some specifics to look for or any gotchas that would help.

Its easy , I did my 5100's by myself the first time I lifted my truck. If you get under and look you will see the retaining pin. I followed that wrote up and I'm not the best mechanic around.

 

Me want.

 

Thought you would want these for the runner

 

Yeah, thats a ridiculous deal. But have fun puttin those on the runner

 

It is great riding backcountry for free, but I don't want to walk all the way back up the hill all day.

You also have to ski with avi gear, and a couple other people packing the same heat.

Whereas with a season pass, you get all the conveniences of a resort (crowds included) and most have a bowl for backcountry. I agree with you that they are expensive and they don't adjust the price for shitty snow years, but since I'm still in college I can just go during the week to avoid the crowds....and I can go every week; so its an investment I put to good use!

If I had a full time job I would think about buying a season pass through a little bit more carefully.....but I'll cross that bridge when I get there

 

A bigger concern is do you have a spring compressor? Or what is your plan once have the shock and spring out of the truck. If you are questioning the spindle and upper control arm you may want to visit a local shop and have them do the work for you. Some might be cool enough to let in back and ask questions as they do the work. That will help you become more familiar with under side of your truck. Good luck!

 

15" rim no fit

Already a classic. I would feel bad about cutting that sheet metal.

 

Too nice to cut up for wheelin...

 

Shit, I already get no gas mileage!

 

csuviper,

How do you like your banks exhaust? I was looking into them but not many people have that system

 

A bowl is not back country. yeah I get the resort thing. You also have to understand I have been living on resorts skiing and riding since I was 3. I like the freedom of back country, as for the avalanche gear yeah it expensive but me and most of my friends have it all do I guess I never think of that part. I do miss the convince of a lift though. Bit when we go we park a car way down the pass and hike as fat as we can making 1 run all we need.
