    Did they finish whatever expansion down below at Discovery that they were working on last year?

    Woah - overlook under construction. I am behind, and no bueno. Did they get the monster addition finished for discovery, and is it any good?

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Fair enough! I just meant that I have felt that Gore and Belle snow reports have gone way down hill since the teens. No pun intended. Have not focused much on WF just do to geography, but yes, getting em out early is good.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    I feel like at some point (8 years ago) it was accurate. Belleayre, which I am a fan of, has gotten terrible with the trail report. They list things as groomed when it could have been groomed a week ago before a thaw/freeze. I don't really count that as groomed. And Belle used to be very...

    Be careful! We want you skiing for a long time (and more important well).

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Low for a regenerative breaking setting, I was not referring to low gear (if you were).

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Harv: one caution on regen breaks in snow - if there is a low setting you should consider using that. The heavier the vehicle, at the point you lose grip, the longer it takes to recover (the engineers/scientists etc can explain the why). Going on lower regen mode in snow slows the deceleration...

    Today's Hike

    This past 'race' was the first one i have ever warmed up for. I am so uncompetitive and halfs and full marathons so long, that I just treated the first mile as warm ups. Because this was relatively short and I had time goals, I did a half mile warm up and ran a few strides to get my heart rate...

    Today's Hike

    Well, i am putting myself out there with time goals! My goal for a late January half is to run sub 2 hour half, equalling 9:09 per mile over 13.1 miles (original goal was by July, but it seems like this is feasible). I did a mini time trial yesterday: our local turkey trot is 5 miles, 249 feet...

    Today's Hike

    This morning did a short trail run on a path near water. Saw beautiful fiery red-pink-orange rays of the sunrise reflected in the clouds and glass-like water. Smiled to myself as I didn't have my phone and so lost memorialization of the moment. Couldn't record, but could enjoy it. Fringe...

    Belleayre Conditions

    Dang they are poring money in. I remember when everyone trashed Belle. I believe I saw a stat that it is particularly profitable among the three now. As it should be 2.5 hours from the City. Wonder if we will see the day they get that face that gives you 2000 vertical down to 28. I will...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    The biggest drop in used Tesla prices came in the period when in addition to uncertainty around the tax credit, the car rental companies went from a big bet on EVs to, 'we are selling these things now no matter what'. I do think Hertz still sells Tesla's directly at a decent deal . . . .

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    I would love a 'today's run' or 'today's run and training' thread. I kind of dumped into this one my road running. PS, because of the trail running thread here and chat GPT, I am now doing 2 of my 5x per week runs on trails. Diversity of training compared to road running and reduces injury...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Zone 2 is 70-80% of heart rate max. Most of your training in 60-75% would pretty much cover that. You are primarily burning fat as fuel (which even elites have lots of) and as you start to get anaerobic, you shift from primarily fat to glycogen, which is limited to 90 minutes to 2 hours for...

    Today's Hike

    Did 4 mile trail run in light hiking boots/heavy runners (the boots I did the back country hike in) yesterday. It was so much fun - beautiful scenery, just getting lost in it. 14 miler this morning on the road. This is the first time in any of my blocks where I do a short easy run the day...
