Helped me a bunch on my San Diego trip. I'm a surf gaper, so the bit on the proper way to turtle (letting your body hang perpendicular to the board) and how to use the buoyancy of the board as...

No doubt Vail Resorts will make an offer soon...they specialize in gnarly terrain like that.

Had the original Weber Q and used it for car camping quite a bit...the Q series is great. Last year I found the Element Portable by Fuego, much smaller, cast iron grate and easy to carry around. ...

So I am headed out to San Diego for a few days of surfing this weekend and my buddy who lives out there recommended this podcast. I watched several last night and I gotta say this guy does a great...

Ridge open today?

Nice shots. Yesterday was pretty sweet.

Like lift 10 and the snowcat terrain, but that surface lift on the Ridge to allow gaper access to Wild Child and Porcupine Saddle seems like a bad idea. I hope that piece gets the axe.

Sucked but we were the 1st chair, so it was worth the wait. Of course our second lap on 9 we jump on the lift and immediately a gaper leans over to tells us how good the snow is, catches his ski...

Did the Ridge open or was it too socked in?

Just based upon hand flexing in the store, I'd say the Revert may be the softest ski I've ever seen.

VT is the new UT

I had a buddy replace a zipper in his jacket...said he carefully removed the old zipper which took some time, and then paid someone to install the new zipper installed. Think he said it was like $30.

Image is quite nice on the 3, but it sounds like a massive POS IMO...51% of the 142 buyers that rated it give it a 2 out of 5. Will be interesting to see what they do for their customers in terms of...

DB...did 9 open today?

British Colombia

Movement Jackal...105 underfoot and light

Technically, Brown Shorts is side country...I think you traverse the opposite side of Mt. McKenzie to get there but I could be wrong. I did see a few folks on the summit.

Stairmaster, if you go,...

Given the lack of snow in CO...we decided to head to Revelstoke, BC. Aside from a shortage a decent beer the place is incredible. We skied three days of pow on incredible terrain. On the busiest...

My experience is that choppy conditions can be hard with any POV to get clean, non-jittery footage. GS's footage is quite nice...what type of mount is being used?

Yes, I know this thread is old...just started using Purl about a month or two ago. Supporting a local company influenced my decision to give it a try but I'm really impressed with both the all temp...

Consolidation is quite the craze in the ski industry these days...I agree with moops on this one.

Vail Resorts core demographic is Gaperdom, therefore, this makes perfect sense.

Just bought a pair of these...awesome pants but a large in ArcTeryx pants is huge. I'm 5'10+, 190 lbs and a medium fits perfect.

Was thinking of booking a trip there this year and notice they have pulled their rates and availability calendar from their website this year. The website is near useless. I call and the woman...

I've skied Alta/Snowbird many times and they are both awesome, then a few of years ago we hit Whistler and it was incredible. The terrain is solid and we got 10" of pow every night we were there,...

Was in Bent Gate in Golden, CO the other day and I think they had a pair with bindings...want to say they were asking 600ish. I don't know DPS lineup that well so I could be mistaken...dark red in...

Interesting because the Dynastar reps insisted there was no metal in the ski. Wonder if it is just underfoot versus the whole length of the ski?

I disagree with Lindahl on the stability of the...

I demoed the Atlas a year or two ago and remember liking it...I'm 195 lbs. Seemed stable and could actually carve a nice turn once you got it on edge. The Cham 97 or 107 would also fit the...

Same as Cruiser except using an AppleTV. I really like Hulu+, but Netflix kinda blows and we'll probably drop it. One cool thing is the Air Play feature on the Apple OS which lets you stream...

Years ago I bought them relatively cheap at Surefoot also at Copper. I actually think I may have some in my garage...get back with you this weekend.

I just picked up a pair of Movement Jackals...105 underfoot and they are 7.4 lbs for a 185 cm ski. I've only had them out 1 day on manmade snow but they seem like a nice ride...carve well, stable...

Demoed the Cham 97 and 107 last weekend and was impressed...other than the early rise they feel like the Legend Pros and XXLs I've been skiing for years. They railed GS turns and seemed super...

Me - 5'11", 195 lbs
Quiver - Dynastar Legend Pros (older race room version) and XXL, Nordica World Cup GSR, Movement Jackal (AT)
Conditions - Crap...A few inches on man made/icy, some very small...

The cheater GS skis are pretty nice for early season hardpack...I've owned the Fischer World Cup RC and it is a blast to ski and I've heard a lot of great stuff about Dynastar's version. You can't...

Received this in an email from a firm that attended some sort of small retailer show:

• So what will be launched next fall? BDE will launch a 24 item (jackets, pants and vests) set in three...

Finally got a few runs in on the Jackals...posted initial thoughts in this thread and pasted in the post below.

UG...I think your review was the only one I found in english, everything else I found had to go through Google translation. I read somewhere that Garmont is now distributing Movement in the US, so...

I've been looking for a light weight touring ski ever since I tested a bunch at Bent Gate's demo day last season at Loveland. Conditions were shit (manmade) the day of the demo and I managed to get...

After demoing a pair last year I planned on buying the Stokes too...but the multiple reports of inserts pulling out killed it for me. I don't want to risk a total failure out in the middle of...

Bought skins a couple of days ago and used TAKE20 for 20% off.

I was in Wilderness Exchange a couple of days and they had both glidelites and ascensions for $119 (in varying widths up to 140mm) which is still a deal.

This is really nice...good work!

Your September looks better than our peak last season...thanks for posting.

Had a fun time in Fruita last weekend...Zippity Do Da:

I was looking at the Saint as an AT ski and saw a lot of good reviews, but I couldn't find the ski to demo, so I don't know much about it.

Saw the Revert in the store the other day and just hand flexed it...probably the softest flexing ski I've ever seen particularly underfoot.

Last season we went to the Montanna Ale Works...had 30+ regional brews on tap and the food was good too.

Prediction - We are watching the next "sport" to be added to the summer olympics. Its right up there with synchronized swimming, rhythmic gymnastics and trampoline. Too funny.

If you are skiing in Summit a lot of folks rent in Wildernest which is in Silverthorne...also Dillon and Frisco. The problem we've had in the past is finding a place to rent for the winter only.
