Yeah yeah.
At least I got mountain bikes. That's how good tahoe is right now. I have a ski I've been wanting for years, sitting in my garage, perfectly mounted waxed and tuned that I've skied twice in the last three weeks.....and I went mountain biking today.
Its supposed to snow more than an inch tonight, so i'll report back with usage tomorrow afternoon.
Run your eyes down the column labelled "24 hour new snow". http://steepdeepjapan.com/view/weather-data-tableQuote:

Going to Silverton & Utah Thursday-Monday. While I do have some fatter boards that might be better for S. Ton I'll make sure to get some turns in at Alta/Snowbird with these sticks and report back. P.S. They feel pretty darn light (to me) mounted with dukes, psyched for some BC turns soon.
Screw it. I'm going to Japan.Quote:

Sack up and buy a pair. It's not like you're going to dislike them in Japanese snow.
Mine arrived today! BPS graphs, 187 Ultralight Nylon Topsheet
~1930g per Ski!
Going to Dynafit'em tomorrow.
Unfortunately it's going to take until Friday before I have time for any real skiing. Perhaps a afterwork night-tour during the week.
^^ Medium or stiff flex?
mid flex
196's are in the mail...
unfortunately i'm gonna be gone for the next two weeks so no skiing for me. however, that does ensure that it will start snowing in this country for everyone else
^ Just got my tracking number from Keith as well. Pretty pumped but not sure they'll be here in time for Prez weekend, still not much snow around to really give them a proper test anyways. Keith said he marked the boot center on the sidewalls so I'm going to go off that.
196 "stiff" on the way. Stoked. I seriously think I'll pull the trigger on a pair of 187 in the next cycle as my dedicated touring stick.
196 resort/sidecountry with inserts for Dukes and Alpine
187 resort/bc with inserts for Dynafit and Alpine
195 Pow board for the hell of it (never selling)
190 Gotama rock board
Done.
You're still going to need some groomer zoomers. :DQuote:

Is the widest point about where it says "Junction pass / Junction peak" in SS's picture? Hard to tell.
Nah.Quote:

They're more rockered than those pics would suggest too. They must not be pressed together at all.
looky here

would love to...just need to get some clamps and some skins. funny how I always seem forget the ski buying part is only half the expense...
just got the sled out of storage too...kinda sad but ready to get my throttle on.

I have to say the more I look at em the more I like em.Quote:

Quick question:
assuming the boot center mark is the little dimple on the sidewall that looks like it was made with a nail punch? I got the BC graphics and there is no obvious centering line I can see
thanks
