Pictures don’t do Rootbeer the justice it deserves. It’s incredible in person.
Currently “on the list” for watches for my wife. Mint green DJ 36 in various configs (besides smooth jubilee) and 36 Candy Pink OP are the top choices but I’m willing to listen to anything offered. I’ve being seeing significantly more inventory at the ADs including some really cool GMTs. Hopefully something will materialize soon

Looks awesome!
I got to hit break for 3 days. My buddy and his son came in town. They are short on experience but It didn’t stop snowing. We got to break trail on Windows after the rope drop. My kiddo got to float around on her new Chetlers. I broke in my new RMUs which I can’t say enough about; they’re very playful and forgiving yet composed. Unbelievably fantastic days, especially yesterday. :cheers:

re: Blue Origin laying off 1,400 employees

I’m in the job market and looked into Blue Origin. They have a strict 5 day per week in office policy now. I think companies are going to use return to office policies as an easy way to thin the workforce.

For the paper plate crowd, are the generic Ozempics just as good as the real deal?

tyrolia attack 14s instead.
I have a pair of Attack 13s. Never had a single issue with them. I was always happy when they came off. Mine are set at 9
For my new setup, I walked into the shop and let the guy guide me to my decision. I landed on a set of RMU 106s with Duke bindings for my new daily drivers. I’ve never done any touring so the Dukes seem to a good gateway into that. I think I got the wrong brakes as they seem to get caught a bit on the release.
I’ll get a skinnier damp set up and a set of really light tech binding set to round things out.
re: Can I do Athens and maybe a Greek island in 4 nights?
Posted by pjab on 2/8/25 at 1:47 pm
2 nights in Athens is plenty. I recommend not backtracking through Athens. You can fly in/out of Santorini to several big airports. Santorini is awesome, especially Oia. It gets stupid crowded for a few hours per day with the cruise passengers taking selfies and watching the sunset. If you stay in Oia, it’s empty in the morning and your terrace will provide personal space while the crowds sit on the sidewalks.
re: Credit Card Recommendations…
Posted by pjab on 2/5/25 at 6:32 pm
If you travel internationally, have two cards with no foreign transaction fees. I had to cancel a card while abroad due to fraud (US transaction). Without the second card, that would have been a much bigger issue.
Can’t go wrong with the CSR. After the $300 prepaid gas fee, it takes very minimal spend to break even.
However, nearly all my household spending goes on Amex platinum. It’s straight forward in terms of point usage and earning so it’s tough to make a game out of the points. Like the CSR, there are a lot of prepaid credits like Uber, Walmart, etc that make it fairly easy to break even. The real benefit is in the Fine Hotel benefits. You can pay for the card after one weeklong stay.
IMO, get both

I saw them open for Futurebirds the other night. The live performance was heavier blues than the stuff on Spotify. Give them a listen.
re: I will consider an EV on next wife vehicle....
Posted by pjab on 2/2/25 at 2:37 pm
There’s been a few sub $100/month EV leases out there due to rolling in all the tax breaks. Audi New Orleans had a post of the single payment leases available or upcoming. There are some very interesting/reasonable options on very expensive cars. Check it out.

Sitting in the gondola today I noticed that one of my skis split at the spot of a repaired core shot.
Now I need a new set. Evo has some nice prior year models for $800 with bindings but the $2200 DPS 105 Krizen with pivot 15s would be a sweet setup. My wife (no pics) has a DPS Pagodas for her touring setup and they are incredibly light. Any suggestions?

Biggest Surprise: $100 to valet park at Ritz Carlton for Après Ski (we parked in the bear lot and took the free shuttle!)
The $200 bottle of Veuve will add up too!
$100 to park at the Grand Hyatt is worth it for a day trip if you have a crew with you. They take all your stuff out the car, bring your gear to a nice locker room so you can get ready, and your skis get brought to the rack on the snow. Considering it’s like $50 to park in the garage, the extra $50 feels like luxury. If it’s just me and the kids, I park in Arrowhead fo free. It’s less than a 100 yd walk to the lift.

Offroad tires and 4wd help. My Jeep on MTs does pretty well during the winter. My SUV runs BFGs ATs which are a very popular choice but they are 3snowflake rated which you may or not have.
Here’s the thing… once you hit ice, a huge truck will feel weightless. It’s an unsettling feeling.

100% agree. Sure, if you are looking for a comfort style fit with a soft flex you can get away with it. If you are looking for something good, you need to try on a lot of boots at a good shop and listen to the fitter’s recommendations. If you are looking to get a deal, save that for skis.
ETA : I’m a few days into a set of K2 Mindbender 130s. It has the boa bottom which is nice but has a boa liner which is a PITA. The boots ski amazingly but are super tough to get on and off. I have to use a Ski boot horn to pull my linered foot in and out of the shell. I’m thinking about getting Zipfits if I have to do the two part in/out anyway.

re: 2025 Jazz Fest Lineup Drops Wednesday

DMB is the first Sunday
Pearl Jam is on the west coast the first weekend and ATL on Thursday. The last time they played Jazz Fest it was a midday set so it still could be Sunday.
