Anyone have any experience with Meier skis? Small batch shop out of Denver. Rode a lift with a guy that works there last week.

Got my boots from boot mechanics last summer and couldn't be happier. Night and day difference in the new boots and the performance. Heard great things about surefoot as well but they're significantly more expensive. Nice convenience with all the locations on the mountain though.

Demo'd some years ago and I thought they were pretty solid from what I recall. They use Colorado wood exclusively as well from what I remember.

Mostly Colorado wood with some maple from Tennessee I think. I like the fact that they're CO manufactured. My sister used to work for Volant and I'd watch their guys making skis on the floor.

Sweet. Looks like I will roll into Purg the day before 10" is forecast.
Nice timing! I would normally swing by and get a beer or a few runs with other TA's folk but hopping a jet to Chile

Imagine the looks headed your way if you scooted up to the lift in these

Might be a little too Texas for me. Gotta blend in somehow

Holy ****, if not for the horns I'd love to have it. A major **** you to all the locals who already loathe Texans.
Better be an above average skier or you'll just add to the laughter. If you put these on and be a black diamond scraper (i.e., the novice going on a black diamond and slides down the hill scrapping all the snow because it's way over their head), it won't turn out well. And most locals don't loathe Texans as they know that's where the money comes from for the local economy.Jock 07 said:ChipFTAC01 said:bmac_aggie18 said:ChipFTAC01 said:

Do I read that right, 20+" in Purg on 26-27?

Chris Tomer calling for 22"
I'm going to be in Purgatory the 28th- 3rd. Looks like things are lining up nicely snow wise.
See you on the hill. I'll be in a party of 3, Me, my uncle '81, and my other uncle who pitched for Rice, but we don't hold that against him.
I'll be in a party of 4 on the slopes. My Mother, Brother and, Uncle. My wife most likely won't ski because she'll be taking care of our infant daughter. So if you see a guy at the base with a baby and an A&M hat that would be me.
Headed to Telluride on Saturday morning, planning on skiing Sun, Mon then Wed, Thurs. I'm really hoping that snowfall forecast comes through, that would be perfect!
My son and I had a phenomenal 5 days up at Winter Park. 5th year in a row and it's always been great!
Looks like this will probs be our last season in the high country 
The COL has become WAY too much. My guess is that we will be moving to Tulum in September. Kinda bummed but also excited about the next chapter of life. Trying to figure out a way to keep our place here for some ski trips in the winter/spring but who knows.

Booooooo, but also congrats! We are about to move there and I was hoping to support your shop next ski season.
Tulip Mexico? Damn. From one beautiful place to the next. Well played!
Yup. Luckily we all speak Spanish already. Now we need to figure out how to bring the cat/dog and if we're homeschooling the kids. Looking into possibly renting our place here April / October and keeping it for the ski season. We just sold our place in Ridgway, otherwise we'd probs of kept it as an AirBnB. Luckily we have my moms place in Bachelor Gulch if we need to scratch the ski itch.
Big thumbs down to bidenomics

"Scratch the ski itch" haha, you ski like 50 billion vertical each year and now you're gonna go sit in the sand and watch the waves break. I'm glad you have a plan in place, or are getting one, but dang that's an extreme move from what seems like a passion of yours. Best of luck bro.
I'm only at 1.3 million so far this season 
We're trying to decide if 20-30 days a year on the hill will cut it. That's still a solid number by most people's math but not the 100-120 that were used to each year. The biggest issue is probs going to be the kids ski club. They are all REALLY good and if they follow in mommas foot steps can probs get ski scholarships. I'd hate to take that away from them and I'd really hate to pay full tuition for 3 if they can ride for DU etc for free. We have a lot to think about between now and September. Luckily, it's picking between a mountain paradise and a beach paradise. Our same sized place there is 50% less than what we pay in GWS. That's $15,000 a year in savings that could go towards trips back etc. It also would mean only having 1 vs. 3 jobs.

I totally get it, you gotta do what's best for you and the family, short and long term. Selfishly I'll have a house in BC before next ski season, so I'm hoping you will still be up there to share some local knowledge, both on and off mountain.
We have a large group headed to Purgatory skiing Monday-Thursday next week. Looks like we will be just in time for some great snow.
I'd love to Where ya buying in BC? When I grew up there, BG didn't exist and Arrowhead was still a separate mountain. When we were cleaning out my dad's house, we found some 1992-1993 BC trail maps. You wouldn't even recognize it.

Should be a great slide if you're a POW skier. Some people hate skiing powder but yeah 24+ inches Monday/Tuesday. Tuesday may be a fight w the conditions but Wednesday should be spectacular.

Maybe we can do a weeklong house swap next winter! It's nice to get out of town and find some a good beach (especially when you have bonefish and permit!).
I was looking to move this year but the company has asked I stay until the coal fire units are decommissioned in 2028. At that point I will get severance out.
I dont blame you for leaving, CO is getting to be so damn expensive. I cannot wait to leave but I have job security and need to get it while its good lol.
Best of luck to ya.

BG. Yeah, i've been skiing BC since about then, not every year, but most, and the change has been pretty dramatic, but i'm only doing it for about a week at a time each year, maybe twice a year a handful of times. Will be nice to have a place and spend the bulk of the ski season up on the mountain, instead of the quick trips where you try to cram everything into a week.
Tuesday is the day I want to be on the mountain. My wife and kids may disagree, but ill be happy to ski by myself if they don't want to get out in it.
Just need to add a visiting JP Suite and ski storage, to make that itch more scratchable for him.smstork1007 said:

hahaha, might just have to make that happen.
