    Subaru outback?

    I love my Outback, but I got the 6 cylinder to charge up the hill at high elevations.  I get 22-23 around town.  The 4s get better.

    Handles like a car.  Full-time AWD (handles like a champ on snowy roads FWIW).  Stellar safety.  Better ground clearance than a Grand Cherokee.  Get in-touch with your inner lesbian.

    Yep.  I worked for a grading outfit in college.  I became a pretty good hand on a 12G blade, and on 966 and 980 loaders.  I've never seen anything like that used on a construction site.  

    It's probably a 20 acre site, and they are putting in a couple of hundred condos.  

    Family was in grading and excavating when I was in school as well.  I couldn't operate anything worth a shit.  Ended up as a grade-checker.

  3. Spraying with snow as you pull up isn’t as fun as flipping snow off your tips as you are standing around.

    The avatar loves when I do that.  Bonus points for hitting underneath the chin.

    Speaking of Beaver Creek, Hollywood Colt is a fan of that hill.  He make it over here?

    You can come if avatar joins you and wears that shirt.

    I pitched it.  She said that it would make her uncomfortable being around people that had seen her boobs without her permission.  

    That and she thinks we are all assholes.

     

  5. Thanks all for the feedback.

    Probably should have noted that I have Line Prophet 98s already in the quiver.  Love that ski on soft groomers, harbor chop, and knee-deep type stuff, however, to me it definitely has a soft-snow bias (tend to wash-out on hardback and ice) and it seems that half of my days on-mountain call for a ski that I can keep on edge and not have to look for soft spots to turn.

    I demoed the Head Supershape i.Rally (76 under foot) Saturday at PCMR and liked it with the only exception that, with me at least, the ski was a little grabby at the tips when in the mashed potato slush that accumulated at the bottom of the hill (kind of a squared-off shovel contributed plus technique I am sure).  

    Someone on a chair had a pair of Nordica Speedmachine GT 80s that he really loved.  I might try to find somewhere to demo those because I will probably need something like that for my next trip to A-Basin over Cinco de Mayo.

    This seems like the best place to make this point...

    If you are one of those individuals who insists on backing into parking spaces in public parking lots, you are a douchebag and a dumbass.

    That is all.

    Can’t back up a vehicle huh?
