We also have the Mammut cartridge refill kit disc for canisters. Avalanche air bags from Mammut, Dakine and some older BCA bags are all on sale now. All Bolle helmets are 20% off and Dynafit bindings are 10% off. Watta Bike & Backcountry offers quality backcountry skis and Tahoe Lab... split boards, beacons, shovel and probes for rent. . We still have some Salomon Shift bindings in stock and available for purchase. I took the Shift bindings out for a hike last week - they hike really well (just a bit heavier than true tech bindings) and loved the way they ski down. We have 1 pair of Shift bindings mounted on Voile VS 165 for rent as well as other skis with Dynafit, Diamir Vipec, Salomon MTN and Marker Kingpins available for rent. See more

itch to ride #Ibis Ripmo so I went up Tahoe Mountain Angora Ridge trail. It wasn’t bad at all. There was 9 to 10 snow patches (please stay on trail) on the trail. Got up to the junction and decided to turn around seemed like a lot of snow to the top. Ripmo was awesome climbing, front wheel didn’t wander around on steeper section thanks to 76 degrees angle seat tube. But I wasn’t so awesome climbing. So out of shape. Yeah, if you itch to ride-Angora Ridge Trail is pretty good.

Spring is here! Maybe it time to dust off your bike and get into biking shape. We are really excited about this new bike from Ibis Cycles. RIPMO is a beautiful super efficient DW Link long travel twenty niner. I had a chance to ride one last Thursday in Santa Cruz. It was a blast. We have a medium in for demo and will have a large in later on next month. Here are some cool pictures from Santa Cruz (you may recognize some of these folks) and our medium demo.

Our main phone line is down and we don’t know for how long. Second phone number is 577-1100, sorry about the inconvenience. We’re starting work on ski mounting and tune up. Bring in your gears. Operating hours: 10 to 5 Monday thru Saturday and closed on Sunday.

Watta Bike Shop will be closed this weekend August 25th and 26th for the Festival. See you there.
