North Florida has MTB trails - but also less NY/NJ folks (aka more rednecks)

Jiminy Peak Review: Was there Sat-Mon with the whole fam (me, wife, 8yo, 2yo). Only a 3-hr drive from my house in Madison. Overall, a very family-friendly (and generally just friendly) resort. Daycare for 2yo Sat/Sun was great - toys, games, TV, lunch, snacks (open 8:30-4:30, not open...

You actually shoulda snowshoed the mtb trails with half steps to pack it down and make it ridable. The snow we got will not freeze solid to allow a bike to ride on top. It needs to be packed down, then melt a little and refreeze to get a firm riding surface.

where does the packed tread start/go?

Attic has vents on either side, but i don't have a fan. Dark spots around nails, yes, have those. The "black mold" he showed me was on the beams, not around the nails. Good suggestion about High Tech - didnt think of them for the wall

Thank you all. I know to be skeptical. I hate dealing with contractors. Mold they claimed/showed me was inside the attic due to moisture in there caused by bad roof (according to them). These guys are supposedly a top tier GAF group but i haven't had time to start researching anything yet...

They were "in the area" and called me for a free inspection bc they knew my roof is 10. Yes, this is why I'm skeptical of them but they did show me stuff that was concerning. Not sure i believe the black mold part. Is there a test for that? Furnace guts already replaced a few years ago. No...

Tourne always gets packed down quick

Ok, does anyone have experience with "Modern Exteriors"? They came for an inspection and of course did the whole dog and pony show about why I need a new roof (holes, cat eyes, granual loss, black mold, etc.) It's 10 years old so wasn't planning on this for a while but house flipper we bought...

I earned this shoveling today. May be the darkest beer I've ever seen. Look at that foam!

Madison (so likely Morristown) Slight ice crust on top. Go north/west. Tourne maybe? This place always seems to me it would be good for this: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TJ8EUfiENzoHtcnq8. There's also the old Snow Bowl

And this morning we saw a redtail hawk swing and miss on a squirrel

I posted in a different thread how this year was a "mast" year for acorns in my backyard (aka, an extra sh!tton on the ground). This has turned my yard into squirrel heaven. This morning I counted 20 squirrels simultaneously feasting. Excuse my poor photography but there are like 10 in this...

Yes, it's ONE+ battery or cord. Santa got me (and the local trails) an upgrade for Christmukkah.

I rode Mt Peter for the first time today. Wifey and son were there twice this weekend. Lines weren't too bad today but man, is that place tiny. Oh well, 3 of us able to ride the lift together for the first time was special. Kid's finally learning and getting into it at 8 after a few years of...

Yes, cross fireroad with Pinkdot. Keep replacing fireroads/washouts with the great flowy singletrack you've been adding. Agree with icebiker, a loop above yellow would be sweet. The new black diamond trail with the added berms - we gotta make that better and i really want to help.

Jiminy Peak. Anyone ski there? Tips, tricks, opinions? We chose it because it's not too far and there's daycare for my 2yo. Planning a family trip in a couple weeks. 8yo will be in ski school or take lessons at least. My wife and I will be happy just getting on the slopes for a few hours.

oooh, bummer. i thought M would be good. Another nice retro cool and east coast repping frame for this would be an EWR.

I dig it, but LTS woulda been cooler. JonnyG was/is selling a Medium in NJ on FB because i know the one on here was a Large: https://www.facebook.com/share/17H5ARBxD6/
