LoveJohnny: Agree that the Guide is/was a great backcounty powder ski. I found it to be a go anywhere powder ski; especially steep, powder, tree-runs...The width of the skis may be a problem? Guides: 109-78-95 Objectives: 117-84-102 Those are pretty similar (narrow) dimensions. If you can ski the G...

Nice looking spot JM! It looks like you've got a great setup for growing your own food. I live in town so chickens are out of the question on my 50'x150' lot. Fresh home-grown veges are great and all, but home-grown eggs are the best. Your growing season seems to be a couple months ahead of ours. My...
