NorCal Skiing and BS Thread

Well, looks like my plans changed. I'll be moving to AZ in January so I'm going to be doing a bit of boarding before then

 

Just moved here from Upstate NY. Plan on skiing a LOT this season.

Just picked up some Armada TST's in 192. Going to have to fab a ski rack for the bed rails in my truck so they will fit.

Anyone going to Warren Miller in Sac tonight?

 

Where were you skiing in NY?

 

Grew up with a season pass to Gore/Whiteface. Skied West Mtn more than I'd like to admit, but the night skiing was cheap and fun after school oro work.

Skied Stratton, Mt Snow, Killington, Bromley a lot after high school. Lived in GA for 5 yrs and did a lot of skiing at Gore and Stratton in the past few years on my trips home.

Also, Can anyone recommend a shop in the Roseville, Yuba City, Sacramento area to mount bindings?

 

Cool, I ski at Whiteface. Great Mt when...we get snow. Had some sick days last year. I just wish we got more snow... Even 300" and that place could be sick! Lot of vertical. Head over to Jay when I can. I only hit killington once early season, not a fan. I do some BC skiing on some of the high peaks. There is some great terrain and some good snow to be had out there. I hope to be in the Northwest soon though! I wish Utah but wife isn't having it... Haha so WA will do!

 

I plan to retire to UT. I've been there 2x now and love it.

I've only had a handful of good days at Whiteface. I grew up in Saratoga County so it was a good drive from me, and I'd have to pass Gore on the way so I would just go there. Gore tends to be less icey and windy most days too.

 

I feel bad for people that visit Whiteface because it does get a lot of ice and wind. I ski 3 days a week and being up there so much I def get more good days than bad. I really want to do some more exploring this year in the high peaks. Lot of great slides where you can "earn your turns" but yes, Utah is my favorite place no question! Sick terrain and sick snow!! Be there again end of Feb.

 

Hey man. Sorry I haven't been on for a bit. I was at that show! Did you go? It was amazing as always
Also what ideas have you thought of for a bed rack? When I moved back out here from TX I was kinda in the same predicament. But I was able to find a pretty cheap solution that I could still put off road gear up to. Let me know if you need any ideas.

I usually go to REI. They might night be the cheapest around, but they do the best work IMO. I trust them will all of my stuff.

Hey man you're at Beale? What kinda truck do you have?

 

Yeah, I got here in August from Osan.

I had a 2012 MGM DCSB 4x4 SR5 when I got here. Last month I traded up to a 2014 Silver DCSB 4x4 TRD Off Road because my buddy bought a Black T/X Pro and I couldn't allow him to have a cooler truck than me.

I don't drive the truck that often right now, trying to keep miles off it. I put 29kmi on my 2012 in 16 months and 11 of that I was in Korea and it was just my wife driving it. I got a decent trade in for it though. Paid $28,400 last June and traded it in for $27,050 with 29kmi with a lot of wear and tear and it had rust on the underside from all of the road salt in NY. They had it on the lot last week for $33k.

I think a bunch of us U-2 guys are trying to go to Squaw on the 29th.
