personally I dig the cochise, 185, as a touring ski. For sale I have, 188 K2 hardside ~ 4 seasons old, drilled for duke @ 305 and dynaduke ~ the same. Skis have one big core shot toward the shovel...

been very happy touring on 185 cochise, good in the variable conditions I tend to find touring, rip pow & hold an edge well.

still got em?

yeah like most of the responses - boot$ first. Depending on your skiing style the transition to a tech boot can suck. I went through a few before settling into the cochise.

Rad shots, looks like skiing has been great. Getting into Calgary tomorrow night in route to Saturday departure to Ice Fall lodge out of Golden/Donald.

Thoughts are KHMR, Rodgers Pass or...

where are you? Tahoe? If so - interested. Heading on trip wed, skis shit the bed today so need em faster than shipping will allow.

26.5 BD factors. Shells look bad (soft plastic vs scree) tech sole only. Liner ~ 30 days

$100 plus any ship cost.

have some out of 26.5, if my feet like the intuition's this week I'll sell you the stock Palau light liner next week

I have the 188's if you are interested in trading to the longer ones

The resorts and hike to choices around the lake are a blast and keep in mind that there are some large mountains 3 hours south of Tahoe as well...

what size are the 105's & are the epoxied chips sidewall or topsheet, hard to tell in the picture.
Thanks

I'll have to give the clutch another try, I turned it off an hour into my first ride. Hard time accepting the hard shifts on a new set up.

god damn mutha fuckin' nasty plant

One vote for the alpinist bib, water proofing was good for the better part of 3 seasons ~ 30...

PP has been good to me as has tree fort, list goes on, only thing close to disappointing was performance, once. LBS yeah I go but not for every purchase.

Happy to see the shift toward AT boots that provide skiing performance. In the mean time I'd love to see other manufacturers spec their boots with replaceable TECH blocks, i.e Bodacious. I do like...

had a great trip early in the summer, would recommend deer creek (i think the north fork, what ever is descenders left) from mars ridge, if you are back up there an looking for another ride with...

Policing agencies, regardless of how they are funded, need to have a very high level of integrity to have a positive effect, the very little I read about the USADA does not scream high integrity. On...

i have used a command post for the last 3 years, i do like it and it has generally worked well, worst case has been having to pull the seat back up - (not all that big of a deal).

Three friends on LT's. All love the bike for XC/Trail riding, newer version really durable. (Tahoe)

Got up to Sun Valley ~ month ago and had great rides. In Adam's gulch area I would do ~ an out and back up Eve's Gulch then on the way down hit forbidden fruit to shady side, fun rides toward the...

the windsurf gear can be a headache, but it's still a blast, the vacation spots that go off are pretty rad as well, Baja, Maui, Gorge, ect, ect, ect

no reason not to try em both (i say that but...

7 9/16" steerer tube, off small Anthem. It's a Manitou S7. yell if it will fit. i'll be in Ketchum a week from Saturday otherwise send address if you don't mind covering shipping

How is the snow melt in Ketchum and Stanley progressing, are most of the highlights rideable or are they still a few weeks to a month out?

Headed somewhere from Tahoe next week (June 1), Sun...

Do you still have the rear wheel?

every time I get on my road bike I think of it as being more dangerous than my mtb bike. echoing the reasons above - lots of drivers not paying full attention to the road and probability of crash...

prolly too far south in OR but worth checking Umpqua & Ashland, some of Eugene shops (Hutches?) can probably give beta and the forest service has been helpful in the past on Umpqua conditions.

awesome write up, I backed out of it last week and it's been haunting me, a little.

The suck factor is a PIA, I get it most switching to bc set up, although maybe my legs are just tired from the hike versus the lift. my pow skis give me bad habits as well but they are soooo fun to...

Do you have an 8" rotor you would sell with the rear?

188 hardsides (09) with FT12s (09 as well) with brakes, mounted on the line for 305bsl maybe 20 days, skins cut to fit.

I have a set from Factor 26.5, I'm assuming the same size. $20 + ship.

will be third in line

Thanks for the feedback on the 180 vs 190, still thinking 180 is going to be my ticket but will keep the hardsides around for a few months just in case.

Glad to hear the Wailer 105 is that much ski. Have been drooling over it but have not pulled the trigger. Love the im103.

The BC model. 190 sounds like a big back country ski to me, anyone skiing ~ 190 (what ever make/model) lift served and the Praxis BC in a 180 in backcountry?
If so:
Are they OK at speed -...

Looking for the same. Want the 105 DPS ^ thinking the hybrid but with Dukes.

Was in the hardside's last year and heavy ass skis with dukes before those. Really like that 100 ~ 110 sizing. ...

I'm glad that was not my $10k sled, head, neck, balls ect tomahawking down that chute.

I came to POW skis on Andy's 180 Elan FUDDs. I got most of the way down the nose and had not turned yet, then weighted the outside ski and floated through a great turn, I wondered the rest of the...

Echo the boots, after two seasons trying to cram my feet into dynafiddleable boots, I'm back to Dukes with alpine boots...until the hybrids mentioned above are available.

PM me an address and I'll send the rotors I have, no reflectors but have chainrings and cassettes if you want those as well. Will see what else I have that I don't want.
