    at the mountain would be a rarity. only riding that far south would be backcountry. snows better up here :) or if I come across a free ticket...mountains out here are fucking expensive.

    Depends where, but they also have reasonable season pass prices that are accepted at multiple resorts.

    I just bought a lift ticket for Loveland ski area (Colorado) on liftopia.com for $45 in March. Comparatively I'll be at crested butte (Colorado) for a few days after that and they are $110 at the lift ticket window. I bought 3 tickets for under $200 with a discount from where we're staying out there though.

    You can get an epic pass which is almost every mountain in CO for around $500. Well worth it if you ski more than like 5x, as individual lift tickets to those areas can exceed $100

    keystone/abasin, abasin only and Loveland were all near 300. epic pass 600 which has 5 CO mountains, 2 in UT and 2 in CA (I believe). Loveland 4paks for 129. copper/winter park/steamboat around 5-600.

    versus Stowe only 1800. smuggs 600. many others have one mountain for 7-800 here.

    I love going to keystone. It was my favorite park. Try to make a long weekend trip every year out there but the last couple years have been missed.

    Bob, have you come across any cool uniball tools? I want to do mine on the truck rather than take the UCA'S off but... difficult. I found a tool from AGM that looks awesome, but pricey.

    Thats the coolest Uniball tool out there. TC Uniball cups and a ball joint press works well from what I hear.

    I used a combo of a ball joint press kit from harbor freight and the tc cups.

    toughest part is getting them in straight.

    How many miles did you put on the TC arms before you rebuilt them? I have about 40k on mine.

    Thanks guys.
    I have 20k miles on my upper uniballs, but they've needed replacement for a while. The clay here seems to eat them up real quick.

    I cleaned my balls with a pressure washer and added some tri flow but they are still noisy as hell. I'm wondering if they are worn or maybe the Teflon is wearing down.

    I've noticed when I tug on my passenger tire it will make a screetch noise like its moving on the ball. They are noisy as fuck when I turn and I can't keep enough lube on them with this dry ass weather here in Phoenix. Now that it's cooled down the drip lube can't penetrate as well either. I hate to say it but it looks like I shot a load on my balls and it just stays there. In the summer that shit would penetrate well.
