    I currently have a Dakine backpack that I use for my skis... definitely makes a big difference when bootpacking. Used it on Willy's Staircase at A-Basin and it made a soul sucking climb a little less awful. Maybe I'll just go ahead and get a shovel and probe and rent the transceiver when I need it. Last time I went offpiste with a guide in France, the transceiver was included with the guide so that might be the best option with using equipment they know well and then I can get my own later.

    Hey... a question. What do y'all think about buying an avalanche beacon via marketplace instead of new? Of course the onus is to trust that the person selling it is truly selling a functional one (and you wouldn't go in the backcountry without testing it) but my friend in Idaho suggested to search marketplace in ski towns to get equipment like a beacon. Thoughts? Picture just shows examples... not exactly the ones I'm looking at.

    That's one question... how often does the road to Silverton get shut down? For those not familiar, here's your "trail map"

    Oh yeah. If I make it to La Grave in March, Silverton is next

    I really need to check off Wolf Creek... I remember calling the snow phone when I was in HS/college and being astounded by the snow totals there compared to the rest of Colorado. Same goes with Monarch having looked at it coming over the pass to go to Crested Butte. I heard there's some fun terrain.

    Pork was solid today but I saw them slicing brisket and it looked dry

    I know people have different opinions on it but just sitting outside eating a Rudy's pork loin sandwich with pickles and sauce tastes pretty damn good, right. It's the simple things

    LOL... here's my source: https://bestsnow.net/seas96.htm It was apparently made with the same high tech technology used by most condo complexes in Taos Ski Valley. What a beating.

    Snowcams will make you happy this morning. I went to Copper over Thanksgiving something like 20 years ago and it was amazing. A very heavy snow year. Hopefully you get the same. Check out that season... Meanwhile Ullr is puking in Taos

    On a side note, Wolf Creek may be great for Thanksgiving

    I'm proud of myself in that it is 4:50 and I have largely avoided any TVs, online coverage on CNN and the like and stuck to here and Threads. Its a good way to cope with the stress but there will be margaritas tonight.

    Today is stress night at Chili's. Tomorrow is celebration at Chili's.

    A friend who does not like Kamala but does not like Trump commented on Vegas betting on a Trump win and they're usually right. I said, "yeah and Vegas said Texas would smoke Georgia"

    WTF is wrong with all of y'all. There is only one location that matters and it is 45th and Lamar. Holy hell have you not learned anything?

    The best thing I've done so far today is keep my political analysis/updates limited to 1) here and 2) the people I follow on Threads. Not CNN, not FauxNews, MSNBC, NY Times, POLITICO, etc. What I am seeing on Threads is supposedly big in-person turnouts in battleground states. There are more and more stories of R voters voting Kamala so we may see that the EV numbers of Rs don't mean as much. We've all been saying this (see Nikki Haley voters) Timeline cleanse: https://www.threads.net/@thecompletefacts/post/DB_c23ty-1i?xmt=AQGzlzKP1hwAaMnTT50sNWWlqooo8IGiqOtX7iwcFoDWXQ

    Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. Still... For reference, in 2020 Volusia County was 56.5% Trump Here's exactly what that means...

    I really wonder how the abortion amendment will impact FL and other races. Amendment + PR "trash" comment = tight race? Who know!? https://floridapolitics.com/archives/703828-poll-shows-abortion-rights-measure-still-falling-short-of-passage-in-florida/
