Oh my it's perfect! Thank you!

I have Dynastar Mythic 97s as my only ski. I solely ski mountaineer.

Ive tried skinnier and wider and this is the width for me. But in the end they're a 1450g ski and ski like it.

I want to...

I'm on the verge of retiring my only ski: Dynastar Mythics, mounted with Plum R170 bindings. Skiing exclusively backcountry in the Rockies

I want more downhill performance and I like not caring...

That's not very close to Pagosa though, right? Over an hour away? I'm talking the areas south and west of Wolf Creek pass

but yeah I have skied off the train before

I'm from CO so I'm familiar with the area but I've only been over Wolf Creek pass once

Are the Weminuche and South San Juan areas pretty hard to access? I see a few 3500ft+ lines around the area

I was looking at Sandpoint ID as a possible place to live, though I've never been. For summer skiing/big descents, it seems pretty mellow in that region, I only see a few 3000ft descents on my google...

That's not very many ogdens

Looks like I'm moving to Ogden and I'm a lifelong Colorado ski mountaineer, whose favorite thing is skiing couloirs and big descents April - June.

Is there any snow left in the ogden area in late...

Is there a company that sells this? Sorry I don't know the exact names

I have sportiva Racetrons. Hate the lower foot buckle. I had sportiva syborgs, I like that ratchet thing. I want to chop off...

What would be the best time of year to ski it? Is April in the San Jacintos basically summer already? Is March too wintery?

ah great ideas. I didn't really know how popular the area was/if people thought skiing was ridiculous. I've never met anyone that has heard of it.

I called the forest service in NV about the Ruby...

If the snow comes I'm doing a desert ski trip, starting with San Jacinto Peak's couloir, I think it's called Snow Creek

I've come across sparse trip reports. There doesn't appear to be a SNOTEL in...

In CO you can ski 3000ft+ descents to mid-late June. It's my favorite month to ski.

I've only skied in Utah in June once and it was a miserable snow year (this past year), so I have no idea what...

I already have 750g boots, don't try to sell me your TLT6s. Full carbon- If you have them you know what I'm talking about.

What do you think about buying a beater sled? What is just good enough? Are you driving through deep snow en route?

Which is better? I'm moving from Golden CO, for comparison. Love spring and summer skiing, and big objectives.

Sorry forgot to add I'm in denver. Road tripping next week but then I'll be looking for partners for sure! I'll check TGR more frequently then as well

Hey, I'm a 28 year old ski patroller of 7 years. Avy 2. EMT. Somewhat accomplished mountaineer (So America, Canadian Rockies, Alps, etc)

I'm not working til August and want to fill my week days...

The ski/walk bar hits the heel piece of my crampons, as it just opens a tiny bit and doesn't actually flip up.

There's an instruction booklet that has a section called "using crampons", and it has...

I ski plain jane TLT6s with tongues. They are too soft. I want a stiffer boot. I can get a screaming deal on Fischer Travers (the black ones, not the carbon ones). Are the non-carbon Travers stiffer...

Do you think it's possible to replace those calories in the days following the tour? If I'm out there 3 days a week I don't want to be losing muscle and fat, I want to be gaining muscle and strength....

A typical skimo day, 8 hours of skinning, snow climbing, and laughing with friends. I read anywhere between 400 and 1000 calories.

What do you think you burn? I'd like to get my nutrition on...

Thank you this is great!

Awesome thanks for the help. Last question : how should I get to the mountain for an alpine start? Bus? Taxi? Camp? I'm trying to travel light so I'd prefer not to camp

And any recommendations would be appreciated, my goals are Fuji, Yotei, and Rishiri, but I'm open to anything of any difficulty

Great! Will I need avy gear? Is the pack refrozen and solid by then or still layered?

I'm looking to do a skimo trip to Japan May 8 to 28. I want to climb and ski volcanoes. Is there even snow then? I can't seem to find any beta.

Very comfy, very light, great for everything. It's about as light as a climbing helmet, and fully adjustable. Retails for $150

I have off starting August 25-Nov 30. I want to go to Nepal and mountaineer. I'm 25, have summitted 10 6,000m peaks in Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru in the past years and would like a similar adventure. ...

this internet is serious business


well there's a plastic coat or something on them, isn't there? I didn't know if sanding that off would do something to the flexibility or if the paint would...

sorry I'm not up on the lingo, what's NS?

I'm sure you're a respectable gentleman but I'd prefer a store or something instead of a guy on the internet >_>

The top

I'm in Denver, I'm having no luck finding a place to paint my skis. I'm not much of a handy person and don't want to try it myself and wreck them somehow. I just want them yellow, nothing fancy....
