Re: Covid vaccines
My wife has been going bonkers trying to book a shot of the Pfizer.. She finally got us scheduled for this Friday for a drive through that is 2 1/2 hours away and the other side of a mountain pass. The pass is closed right now due to avalanche danger. I love my wife and all but........

Re: Fast technical singletrack ski?

Re: BC Wax to Skins mod: question to short skin users
Those are not my pictures. Got them on the internet. Touring skins that you put on when you go up and take off when you ski down have a temporary "glue". More like sticky gum.
