  1. Part of me really wishes we had gone to Crested Butte. They just dropped the rope on Teo Bowl *sob*
  2. I'm sure its been linked but, yeah, this is fun to watch because there is no sunshine at all... (edit, you may need to take it back to the start - may have screwed up the link) Sark looks pissed off going into this game.
  3. Back from Taos. Knees intact, my son's friend broke his wrist trying to pull off a method grab while snowboarding. Landing was rough. Anyway, weather was beautiful largely for all three days save for the third day when the winds really picked up. The broken wrist cut our day short anyway so we didn't have to really deal with it. Not a ton of runs open unfortunately but what was open was skiing impeccably and with non-existent lines, we could bomb runs and just have fun farting around and either carving or hitting the same jumps over and over again. That north-facing aspect keeps the snow in great shape. As I said before, the best snow was up on Highline and unfortunately the only run open was Juarez but the snow felt great. If you're comfortable skiing up there, you can dodge (most) of the exposed rocks. Skiers right was skiing better and was less trafficked. Most people would drop in skiers left. Either way, you rarely had more than 3 people on Juarez at one time so just pick your line and enjoy. Do I wish more of Highline was open? Hell to the yes. Hunziker? Yup. All the goodness in the trees? Yes. They could have opened Blitz. The four blacks that were open were short and meh so we just avoided them. Moe's for example was just a bunch of janky bumps full of slowpoke yardsales. But in the end, we had fun... save for the clinic visit. Staff at Taos is always top notch. 10:25 AM Saturday lift lines at the bottom of 4
  4. I can't remember the exact wording of his question but Bowels asked Collins or Hill if they lacked a killer instinct. What a dumbass but, yes... feed that fire.
  5. Never been to Bolzano but I've been curious to visit. There's also Bressanone or Vipiteno. I would eat canederli 😁
  6. One of the best... or the worst?
  7. Today is our last delay at Taos. Suspect it will be a short day since it is supposed to get uncomfortably windy. Wish there was more snow but damn their operations team keeps the runs in great shape. Lift lines? What are those? Best snow on the mountain? Past two days it's consistently been Juarez.
  8. I'm ready for post-Quinn UT but he was money when it mattered
  9. So I went ahead and booked a ticket flying into Honolulu and flying out of Kona. Right now I'm trying to figure out how much time we'll spend in Oahu with more time on the coast if possible. Leaning towards time on the east side of the island. If there's one thing I'm noticing about Hawaii is the absurd hotel and condo prices. I mean, seriously, you see one price and then you see the final price. With all the taxes and fees and garbage added on top. The first price is already overpriced and then it gets worse. Makes me reconsider a future trip to Switzerland.
  10. The only thing that was surprising about that interview was Mack finally admitting he should have played Garrett Gilbert more.
  11. Was doing some more digging last night. Molokai really looks like it would be a little rustic but pretty stunning nature wise. So now I'm just trying to figure out if I fly in and out of Oahu and stick the big island in the middle or stick Molokai in the middle. If we do Oahu essentially twice, we may stay in two different parts of the island
  12. Working on 1 1/2 maybe 2 weeks in Hawaii in June. Thinking of Big Island, Oahu (although it sounds like a hassle) and maybe/maybe not adding in Molokai? Traveled to many places all over the world but feeling a little lost. Don't need to do super touristy stuff but am big on nature and beaches, hiking, etc. don't really need glitz and trying to get my wife maybe used to Hawaii being more laid back than what she might like... like I'm definitely NOT booking some luxury resort. Not happening. Ideas? This will not be a luxury trip.
  13. Yes, I saw them walking around wearing their blazers
  14. Before and after (or vice versa)
  15. Felt like a pretty solid crowd to me. We're at Dirty's now.
  16. Yeah definitely
  17. Reminds me of a conversation I had with one of the members of Texas String Assembly about their tour. It was three cities including Austin.
  18. Everyone tells me to make my own dough but I just get the stuff at TJ. If you have a Whole Foods nearby, they used to sell frozen balls of dough and you could make two pizzas out of each ball. Anyway, get the TJ stuff and freeze it. It works in a pinch and I can make two pizzas with one package. Stuff is sticky so have lots of flour on hand when trying to work it and get it out of the package. We should be around the stadium. Gametime decision on whether we go in or not.

    2025 ACL

    Mike was really funny... on a headlining stage and you could just casually walk up to the rail without really walking around someone. BUT he got lots of great publicity for that set.
  20. Shoot. Saw this too late. CUZZY I think Bought tickets for Girl and Girl at Empire Control Room in April

    2025 ACL

    You should have seen Pretty Lights vs Dual Lips. That said, 99.5% of the ACL crowd was at Chappel Roan. It was hilarious.
  22. Never used that kit and I suspect you don't have Trader Joe's handy but one thing that helps is making sure your dough is not cold. Stretches a lot better. You'll go through a lot of trial and error at first. Can get frustrating out practice pays off.
  23. When I talk of skiing in Europe being cheaper, its not just about the lift tickets. It is the combination of many factors. Yes, I know... if you live in Denver or SFO and can bolt over to the slopes, this doesn't apply to you. But if you live in Austin or Houston and often fly to go skiing, this absolutely applies to you. This post is just me venting about the absurd on-mountain prices in the US. Latest example that I saw someone post (from Park City) At that price, you better be getting a burger in Switzerland (no, Switzerland is not what I would call cheap. I learned that once) Anyway, from a slopeside restaurant in the 4 Valees in Switzerland Wait, that's expensive! Yeah, so here's a light bite at a mountain terrace in Montgenevre... Or you can go to Hohe Mut Alm in Obergurgl (one of my favorite mountain restaurants in the alps) and I strongly recommend the hash brown dish... Hash browns? It is this and they are glorious...
