^^^Yeah I figured if I could get the same bindings and use as parts it would be about $100 vs getting the shift which is about $500 plus $100 to mount...... but I'll likely come to that conclusion if...

Wife's heel piece has broken plastic part but the ( much newer) skis are still in good shape. Fritschi doesn't have these parts anymore. I'd like to keep the skis going a bit longer as she likes them...

If you have a pair collecting dust and they're not too hammered I'd probably take them. I'm a 27 but the Laser doesn't have a size or boot sole length that I can see. I measured the sole and it was a...

Just an update: I had bought a pair of La Sportiva Vegas and had a bootfitter mess around with them several times but couldn't get a good fit. So those are now for sale.
I did pick up a pair of used...

Thanks for all the feedback. A podiatrist made my orthotics for my sneakers, and a different set for the ski boots which are a bit narrower than the ones for shoes, so my lump of arch hangs over the...

I recently made a switch from an old, high volume boot (Scarpa Laser) to the Maestrale. All was good for several days out bit but then the inside of my foot, where my arch is supposed to be, started...

This bike seems to fit and work really well for my 9 year old. Only wish tubeless was an option.

Most of the feedback I get back...

I crashed and now I need a 182 Dynafit Stoke

Well that's a helluva a TR....thanks for sharing and happy fucking thanksgiving.

Dealing with Eldora is maddening. We have a toddler who is starting skiing so we...

I am wondering what folks on the CO front range are finding to be the best options for taking a 3-yr old skiing for his first couple of times.

For example, I read that Winter Park is free for...

Well that's about the best I've seen around these parts in awhile.
Must get outta the Eastern Block.....

Thanks for the photos; looking pretty good up there.
What's the road like? Bikeable yet?

Well I have skied most of the 14ers and this turd is on the to-do list.

I live on the front range and would like to go when it's looking good, which isn't now but could be anytime in another...

Here's an older article about the beetle spraying at Eldora.

I really wish they wouldn't spray. An expansion would be nice but I think that keeping it some...

Seems like a compromise is in order. I agree with...

She was a wonderful lady. Climbed and skied with Allison a lot and always had a good time. Truly one of the best friends I ever had.
She had that affect on a lot of people....

Skiing on Toll was really nice, but nothing else in that basin was very skiable (at least according to my standards). It was good, but I won't be back this year.

Was up there last Sunday. Road doable on a bike (but probably not with a pull-behind trailer) with a little pushing over snowbanks here and there. REALLY thin overall. Here are some pics from the...

Once again, Klar delivers.:yourock:

Nice work! Looked like a great day to be up there.

A HUGE bump for Lars! Awesome, controlled run on a great line. A lot of folks are really proud of you!

2,500 bucks!!!!!!!!!

It would surely turn any long,flat snowmobile in/out into a laugh. (I'm thinking about that 7-mile road into the Maroon Bells...)

So can you pull another skier? Or two? How...

That was a great day! Thanks for having me tag along and thanks Frank for rallying for Broken Hand. I had no idea what I was getting into but it was worth it! Let's do it again. Next time I'll bring...

That was us two up there. We decided to approach from the top because we know how long and tedious the approach from below is. We left the Visitor Center at the top of Trail Ridge Road at 6:30. Even...

I've been climbing out there for about 15 years and that exact spot you got clobbered is the scene of many accidents. There is a lot of loose rock up high and the features tend to funnel all of the...

I took a photo of this line from the summit of Kit Carson yesterday. Slightly less snow but it's still looking pretty good.
...

Thanks for the great TR!

Went back up for another run on the North Face yesterday. It's still skiing very good except for the choke, which is melted out and requires a rappel. It went a little something like this......

We left the trailhead at 3:30am and skinned to Chasm View. It was a warm night and the freezeline was just above treeline.
On the way up....

Today was fucking epic on the pass. About a foot and a half at 8am and it snowed at least another foot by noon, and was absolutely puking when I left around 1:30.

I've skied SFB a number of times using both approaches mentioned, but just wanted to note that last year I set off a small hard slab while skinning up the steep hill that gains the ridge just above...

I could use 'em!

I was up on Monday. There was 3-4" of new on top of semi-breakable crust so the skiing wasn't so great. WP reported 7.5 last night so I imagine it's pretty good right now. Wish I could go.

I connect the boots together with the velcro straps and hang them over the shoulder straps on the pack, so you have one dingle-berry on each side. This helps keeps the weight more on your shoulders...

Great huck! This shot is just awesome!!!

I'm a contractor and am somewhat near you. I'm installing a bunch of windows and skylights in a house for the next month. Send me a PM if you want to chat.

If anyone is interested, I just got some more photos from our guide friend who was up there and edited them into the TR.

We skied the East Face, then booted back up and skied the West Face, which is the classic line. They were both really good but probably getting scrappy by now.

We had a bird's-eye view of the the North Face of Democrat from Drift Peak last weekend. I'm not sure if an exact summit ski would go, but the North Face itself was the fattest thing around. Looked...

Good to see that Bob is OK; he was a somewhat of a mentor to me when I was a young fella growing up in VT. Thanks for the video.

++++vibes to Bob; please ask him to send me a PM if he sees this....

We left the Longs Peak Trailhead at 3:30am and hiked in sneakers above treeline to the chasm cutt-off. Here we got our first view of the objective: the couloir that drops down from the obvious notch...

Sawatch Range, CO

After skiing Mt. Shavano a few weeks ago, and seeing how much snow was on Cronin Peak, I had to give it a go. It is unnamed on every map I've seen, but here's an explanation I...

Wildsnow.com had a great photo of the Landry Route four days before we skied it. Chris Davenport also ran a great trip report two years ago with some better photos than I have, and here is a cool...

The day started with a long skin up the ridge of Flattop mountain to the top of the couloir. There was about a foot of new snow at the top.

IH and KiltMan checking it out....

Awesome spring powder today! The temps got pretty warm, and the snow got more wet as the day went along.

Oscar's first ski tour....

Bump.

Proud suffer-schlep.

Looks like a good time....

On Sunday We skied the West Face of Snowmass via a similar line to what Chris Davenport skied during his project.
