The ski pole would have to be perpendicular to the slope. That means one hand chocked down near the bottom and one hand somewhat higher up to get the pole to stay straight in.

I did not try this...

I tried a small self arrest last spring on a nice melt-freeze crust using both the tips of my poles and also the grip end. It seemed better to use the grip end and get the grip to break the crust....

Some guy on the lift told his buddy to buy a new lens (same colour) and then return the old one with the same receipt. Sneaky.

If keeping them in a dry spot does not work, the toaster will probably just F#$% your warranty. Take them back to the store you bought them or contact Smith.

More info on the upgrades and timeline, "possibly as early as summer 2014, but more likely beginning in 2015". Although, I'm not quite sure why each new Whistler gondola cabin should cost $45,000. Is...

:nonono2: This may be Whistler's strongest season in ever.

Whistler is up this year from last year and it is almost an all-time record year. If room rates are down, no one could tell -- It still...

Maybe the people HE has talked to. I doubt that holds true for the general dynafiddle crowd.

O-M-G! Just read this: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ftp/resort_development/external/!publish/web/resort_plans/proposed/whistler/Whistler_Mountain_Master_Plan_Update_Nov2010.pdf

Says they are going to...

I bet an Avalung would be the only thing that would help. - other than a ski partner(s).

That would make me shit. Time to take a few avy courses!

Preach it brother. Stored my Smith IO's in the ski boot bag with the gloves. Next day, epic fogging.

Lesson learned. Store goggles in dry spot - every night.

@Krash. Where is my commission?

.... just kidding .... :fmicon:

Ortovox 3+ Beacon $209

Good deal. Free bump!

Triple Camber? Is that like the same as the DPS Spoon idea?

Beau-coup des Gnarbanzo points! Dig the wonder-woman bracelet :yourock:

Saw this on http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Revelstoke/photos/17162

Should this quality chick Gnar not have appeared first on TGR?

Where is all the chick Gnar folks! Please renew my faith...

^^ Beau-coup des Gnarbonzo points! May Ullr keep the pow until May!

I could swear I just saw a killer bunny sneak into the house. I hope the GSA has not sent one of these:

113403

Zardoz = Shit if the snow is dry. Avoid unless wet snow.
Liquid Teflon probably not good for skin glue.

Just use a good Low Fluoro All Conditions wax before the trip and leave it be.

Clearly the GSA has been trumped. In this old video of James Pierre (RIP) he is sporting 5 (five) GoPros at the same time, all on record.

One on each pole. One behind head on a pole. One on chest....

I'm not speaking for close friends. Please let me clarify and maybe wax a little philosophic.

What I was trying to say is that I do not know exactly what was going through their minds at the time...

And look at the snow ... all week!

Wed 37 cm
Thur 16 cm
Frid 18 cm
Sat 3 cm
Sun 19 cm
Mon 22 cm

The best!

The rating for a given day is an overall rating for a geographic area. And that rating would be more or less depending on terrain and location. Moderate + avy path = higher than moderate, maybe even...

^^ Purrrrfect !

Most 99 (wide) skis have a speed limit. More pronounced as the ski gets fatter. How fast do you want to go?

It is not like Pano doesn't get any snow. Obviously they do and a lot of people vacation there. I don't know stats, just what I've been told by friends. They also say that is has some awesome...

I just gave my wife a wet layup. She says I have mad skills. Sometimes it's just luck.

You won't get core-shots skiing groomers. Your best bet is to head into the sidecountry, along wind-swept lines, steep areas with uneven cover and the bowls with the occaisional hidden car-sized...

^^ Would it be fair to say that carbon pre-preg and a good wet layup are the same in terms of end-quality?

Re: the China quality stuff. I lot of China bashing is unwarranted ignorance. They are a super-power in manufacturing. Go to Hong Kong and you will shit your pants when you fly over the valleys and...

Pano gets no snow. It all drops on Jumbo. If Pano can get 1,500 then for sure Jumbo can get 2,700 with great snow and high alpine experience.

Is the Village in some kind of avy path? Looks like they will have to bomb in a lot of places to keep it safe in the winter.

++vibes++ Sad to hear.

My older brother got diabetes recently. He is a motor-head. Serves him right for sitting on his ass all day on a sled. And the Herp - now that is disgusting. Maybe that's how they named nearby...

Valemount sounds like plausible idea. A bit in the middle of nowhere. But if the skiing is good (better than all the rest around Banff) and they can make some life there other than 2 good bars and a...

Where are the pictures of them? Might help you sell them better than a bumps.

God Damn. Looks like she is paddling with her ski poles to get through. Time to buy some really really phat skis!

Dear Steve — A Letter to Romeo

My questions we will never have answers and I don't need them any more.
Well done Lou.

A lot of retards at Whistler lately on the ski-outs. Motoring along in the middle of the lane with ear-buds in and no clue that people are to their right and left.

Worst = Some idiots actually...

^^ Classic!

First I was pissed to be getting big snowflakes here in Vancouver. Doubly PISSED to see all the new snow and what looked like a weekend crowd plowing at Rendezvous on the webcams in the AM.

If I...

Sick. Looks like a Rossi Super 7 sitski!

I read that to mean that he was taking locals out on tours, i.e guiding other people into the North Shore mountains, on his own, on a regular basis. That and the fact that he is going today and it is...

Just FWD vid to wife. I'm gonna cause her to pee with laughter.

If all you need is a bit of back and chest protection - get a used hockey protector and cut off the shoulder pads. You can get one at a Goodwill store for $5 and it will probably be just as good for...

Anyone verify?

^^ I considered it for a very brief moment. And then the wife smacked me and said to come help her with the dishes. When I can afford a FUCKING dishwasher, I'll PM you.

Seriously ... I wish I...

Interesting to read Talisker's rebutal:

Do you have the original receipt for warranty purposes?
