But isn't the Boundary a 16mm lower shaft?
(I used it a couple years for a really old original-generation Traverse to which I had attached my Condor grip.)

If your old Whippet's *lower* shaft is 16mm then I'm pretty sure you want the Boundary replacement lower shaft (which is identical to the size of the origin-generation Traverse):

[Their website just lists the entire Dynafit catalog, regardless of whether all that stuff was unavailable in North America even a long time ago...]

And now for the action (sort of...) photos –

Smile or painful grimace?

After a three-year hiatus from 2010-12, I was ready to revive my five-year 2005-09 annual tradition of closing out my Eastern ski season in conjunction with the Mt Washington auto road running race...

Thread bump!



The Union Leader newspaper ran that photo on its front page two years later -- pretty lame that they couldn't be bothered to use a photo of a competitive runner, and ironic too...

Bottomline:
I want to put the assets from my Solo 401k into something that just sits there w/o incurring any administrative fees, reporting requirements, or conversion tax implications.

It's very obvious if you've done it before, and even more obvious later in the season when (many) others have taken the same route, but earlier in the season, with no familiarity, solo (and no GPS?),...

Either way though, somewhat unusual I think for the...

I was flirting with the gate closure, but couldn’t resist stopping to take a picture of Jefferson’s Beach:

Up and over Mount Clay for some spectacular views.
Why look, Monroe Brook is in (very bad shape for skiing):

So I waited until yesterday, which was perfect weather at all elevations.

I also had some hopes for Airplane based on a June 2 TR – how much...

Looks more interesting though than repeated laps on Sluice -- thanks for the beta!
I'm thinking Wednesday if anyone wants to carpool up Otto.

It was almost like the AMC version of this:

The whole scene almost seemed staged: the two hot blondes aimlessly loitering around, the shirtless guy banging away, the tire that wasn't even fit for a kiddie tire swing, the accents, and the...

That was no big deal today. Misty at first in the bowl, then quickly cleared out. Mix of sun and clouds after that.


When I checked the summit conditions upon awakening a bit before 7, the...

Vt-Freeheel, many thanks for the great beta -- especially love that view of Airplane from the other side of the Great Gulf rim!
(Now I just have to hope it still holds up for tomorrow...)

So how much vertical was left?

And sounds like with this wx fx:

CAMP is just using Sandvik's terminology:

If you're just climbing up what you're about to ski down, say, anywhere in the Presidentials, then steel crampons are just bafflingly pointless. (Ditto for climbers/skiers I've seen on big volcano...

Vermont, May 26:

I don't get the first part?
(Or would that have been staying at Sugarbush?)

From the top of the Superstar lift to the top of the Glades / Northridge triple was only 300' vertical of skinning to...

I don't even have a text plan, so I hardly ever text. (Or is the causality the other way around?)

The only pictures I sent "from the field" were emailed to a transplanted Vermont friend in Boise...

Nice surfy untracked powder here in the north ridge area.

I'll be skinning up to north ridge area a bit past 7:30 but finishing up eventually with superstar.

That was probably Dave C.

Hah, I was right:



Seriously though, I'm amazed they're not even going to charge something nominal like $10 or $15 on Saturday and Sunday.
Then again, their "new" approach this entire season...

Skied at Killington on June 4 that season!


My first season in Tux!
Last Killington visit for me was June 8, then Tux on June 15, 22, and 30.
On June 15, I was with my assistant coach from the...

I'm almost kind of glad I wasn't into backcountry skiing back then (outside of the occasional Tux visit) -- otherwise I never would have gotten anything else done that spring!


So we overlapped...

Skied at *Loon* on May 4 that year! I think pretty much everything was open that could be accessed off the gondola.
Then skied at Killington May 10, 17, 24 & June 1, 7, 14.
And most memorably,...

I was surprised to see that yesterday (on my phone, inside my rain-splattered rain as I changed out of my wet rando suit), since based on what I saw/skied yesterday, and the meltage rate from Monday,...

I was in the same boat, or I suppose the same car -- fortunately I pointed it toward Killington this morning.

Even more fortunate would have been sleeping in and instead skinning/skiing *after*...

Hey ISBD, are you around? I tried PM'ing you, but your box is full.

Yes, I'm planning on Monday, from about 11 to 3.
Very nice conditions this afternoon, pretty much perfect.
But snow is fading fast in some sections: Skylark is barely even good enough for skinning...

At this time in the morning, that is good only for ice climbing practice!




And fresh flakes too!
Well, okay, so the accumulation was minimal, but snowed on us the entire afternoon yesterday....

I fondly remember Killington's glory years with those late May and early June Superstar ski days of monster moguls on 207cm GS race skis -- my quads would be sore for days afterwards!

Here's the...

You're accusing me of skiing at a ski resort that was ... open?!?

This is where I was yesterday (Friday):

Superstar, 1200 vertical, and free Monday through Thursday.
Airplane, 1100 vertical, and pretty expensive via Otto even when split.
(Cascade at Killington also looked good, with only a pretty...

And miss out!

Okay, so admittedly, I didn't have high hopes for today, and went only because the timing was good for me personally.

Although after lucking out with the weather Wednesday at...

At least the advancing storm made for some interesting color contrasts at Stratton today (though it's going to annihilate the remaining 950' continuous vert and the trivial downhike back to the car):...

Super, thanks for the 1.7l feedback!

She needs to show more respect toward your need for such ... potentially practical gear?

So 1.7 or 2.5 liters?

The max fill line on the 1.7l pot is at 1.0l, so in theory that's around 10 or so water...

I'm becoming increasingly convinced to buy an MSR Reactor now!

I was very aware when the Reactor first came out years ago, but I was convinced I needed both a heat exchanger and a remote canister....

Should be fine.
(I'll be there on Monday, then meeting with Mike Miller of Basecamp Outfitters to discuss Killington's possible operational hours skinning policy for next season...)
