Yeah, they have some small plastic points out front to bite into a slight crust if there is one.

Added a couple more shots.

Not sure, this was a couple weeks ago. Might want to call one of the bike shops down there to check.

Nice, looks sick. Do you find you need to use the dropper as much as on your other bikes? Did you have one on the Blur, can't remember.

Some of the posts here got me interested in putting together this trip. I can only hope this thread helps others say, fuck it, I'm going to book the tickets and let it ride.




Verts are like...

Agreed, sweet shots!

Some more words and pics.

I think I was -6 from true center. Fun ski for sure and pretty light for the stiffness. Just ended up going with something a little narrower and lighter to keep up with my buddies on their race...

Added some more shots and commentary from the next day.

Drilled 3 times, for Speed Radicals 297 BSL. Couldn't get the mount point right, 3rd times a charm. Some scratches on the bases, but no damage that should cause durability issues. The skins are BD...

Looks fun, heading that way at the end of the month if the weather cooperates.

Yeah, mine has been pretty awesome. It does squeak every now and then, but I just pull it out, clean all the grit off it and re-install with some PTFE compound. I swap out my rear cog a bunch and...

Saved for more stoke...

So Mark hit it good, no weather, good skiing, clean get away. Wills was supposed to fly out in a couple days but it looked like some weather was coming in, it was going to be tight getting him in...

Where were we...

The next day dawned clear like the last, just colder. We went through our morning routine, cooking breakfast, melting water and getting our gear sorted for the day. We wanted to...

Back to the action. Mark and Adam agreed to let me fly out first with most of the gear and choose the spot we wanted to setup base camp.

Shit, I have to pick the spot. ...

No, Drake had us ship it to his PO Box, just didn't have a chance to grab it for us. Probably better off that we had an extra couple days to grab what we needed.

I started thinking about this trip almost a year ago. I had seen other TRs from Haines, both human and heli powered. I knew this was the spot I wanted to go. I had been touring a bunch in the...

Thanks everyone, good times!

Nice, plans to head to Rainier in a couple weeks. Stoke is high.

Selling my 56cm Specialized Allez Comp, Aluminum Frame w/ carbon stays, and carbon fork. The paint is a bit faded, but everything is in perfect working order. 105 Brakes,Shifters, Crank(175cm...

Yup camp aluminum, they were fine. Most of the route was snow covered, save for the two ice bulges. I felt I would have been ok with a whippet and 1 Venom(I had 2). Of course the route can change...

A group that turned around at the Stettner, a group of two that made it to the top of the Chevy, a group of 5 that made it to the summit, Brian(solo), and us. So 5, a bit crowded up there. :eek:

Been meaning to post a couple TR's, this one and our trip to Haines. Skied the Grand via the Ford-Stettner route a couple weekends ago. Left SLC at 7 on Friday and arrived at the parking lot around...

A couple from last weekend.

Thanks man, Last 2 pics are from Jackson's. 3rd pic up we were still on Rockstacker.

Headed down solo to meet up with a big group. Rode Soveirgn on Saturday. Wanted to get in a longer ride and new Beaterdit was in town racing the Enduro the day before. Got together and rode...

Looking for $2200 + ship. Aluminum frame size Large. The shock was just rebuilt last season. I'll replace the seals/oil and throw in the new mission control DH damper and rebound assembly that I...

Pack and RAS system is sold. Still have the canister, $100 shipped.

Yeah buddy, Haines is sick. Still have to put together a TR from our camping trip in GBNP. The way shit rolls over is insane. Much steeper and longer than it looks. When you headed back? :wink:

A couple from a ski off the Grand on Saturday

I was in the same boat as you, and just built up a PC. I've got a Canon point and shoot that I loaded CHDK on so I could shoot in RAW. I'm also editing in Lightroom. If you're familiar with PCs...

Most likely some debris in it now, sun was out in full force heating up the snow from a couple days prior in the Ford.

Great day out in the Tetons yesterday with Mark H.

Yeah buddy, I need to come visit. Thinking about Rainier in June...

Yeah, still pretty new to the whole editing thing. I just play with the sliders until it looks like how I think it should. How would I compare exposure across a number of shots in my workflow?
...

A couple from my recent trip to Haines.

...

In great shape, comes with everything needed. Bag, RAS System, and Canister w/ a couple extra burst discs. $560 shipped?

We had a great trip, first 4 days were all time, got hammered out on the glacier for a number of days after that. I want to say 5 feet in 36 hours, winds gusting to 60mph. Collapsing mega-mids,...

Got into Haines around 12. Looks like we can't fly out today, hanging out at Captain's Choice and doing some shopping. Shawn from Seaba hooked it up and gave us a ride into town from the Ferry...

Nice shot Ty!

Not to MMQB, but it looks like the slide occurred around 12 noon on a Bluebird day, line is S facing. Conditions yesterday were much different as far as day time heating goes.

Any recommendations on where to stay in town for a night upon arrival. Have 3 people in my group. Was thinking Captains Choice or Eagles Nest. Looking for something relatively cheap.

Did anyone lose a set of poles today? Was parked across the street and east of lady of the snows. Describe them and they're yours.

Gotta love the e-thugs, Mark H is one of the most balanced skiers I know when it comes to getting after it on the up and down. And that's all I gotta say about that.

Back to the stoke.

Heading...

Great skiing out there, fast sluffs on steeper N facing aspects. Exited around 6, should be great tomorrow.

Whapworth enjoying his slash...

Might mail it to Drake's PO Box, thanks for the offer though! We will be arriving on a Sunday and trying to fly out first thing Monday if weather cooperates, so Sunday will be crazy as is without...

Perfect, thanks Z. Probably be in contact when we get up there.

Mammut RAS canister refills in Haines? Pretty sure the volunteer fire department does it, but will I need to provide the adapter? Any additional info on when they are available to do this would be...
