On Tuesday morning, while I was eating breakfast at Pinehurst Resort in Central/SE North Carolina during a work conference, I got the news of the impending doom that was to envelop the entire...

I have one major problem with this TR...

It's called Testicle Toss!

[QUOTE=Kya;4024546]The next morning was beautiful and we passed the time with some ladder golf in a beautiful setting. ...

What he said.

Hey J
Get off your ass and post the rest of this TR! You're killing me. Are you too busy doing something lame like working or biking or something. Jeez. :wink:

I thoroughly enjoyed that.

^This.

But I still love this thread so much. Either that, or I hate it. I dunno. All I know is that I can't turn away.

I'd rather stick a screwdriver in my face than watch that again.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Praxis BC. One of the easiest to ski skis I've skied.

I like the convenience of a hydration bladder for sipping while skinning. If you're worried about leaking, get an MSR Hydromedary or a Dromedary + hose. Things are bomber. You'll probably be long...

Another recommendation for BCs as the ultimate tech setup. I purchased some 190s (carbon layup) this year that I absolutely loved touring. I inserted them for dynafits in the backcountry and telemark...

Jesus. This heartcarving bullshit has been going on since 2007? And there are blueprints? Oh the humanity.

I have the new carbon layup Praxis BCs and I love them. They're basically a 1 ski touring quiver for me as I no longer live near the mountains and don't want to drag multiple pairs of skis with me...

FWIW, I had some 202s a few years back and loved them in anything soft. They were mounted w/ telemark bindings and ended up being a bit weird on hardpack in telemark turns due to the change in...

Me too, get off the brakes.

Awesome photos. Kinda missed the story/written aspect of it though....

Really really really good! Great way to start my morning!

They sound a bit similar to Praxis BCs, which I love. Probably a bit looser in the tail though due to a some more taper.

I bet the skis are a lot faster now.

Nicely done. However, I'm surprised you guys neither skied or snowboarded at all... Only shredding, sending, and ripping...

That's one line I wish I had driven out to and hit while I still lived near the "Lake of High Salinity".
Love the aesthetic qualities of that couloir.

In my opinion this is still to much clothing... One difference might be the warming "efficiency" of wool vs. capilene. In my experience, a thin merino wool baselayer was definitely warmer than a...

so it's your second season of skiing. i'm guessing the shop talked you into purchasing a binding with touring capabilities... i hope some of the things you proclaimed to have left to learn include...

Thanks. That's pretty much what I did last night.

[/QUOTE]Note that you'll take your stone and do a light pass to detune and it will still feel sharp. Keith uses bomber edges ... I had to really...

I think you make a fair assessment given your skiing habits. (I assume you do a fair bit of resort skiing, hence why a carbon touring ski is a quiver ski). If skiing hard at the resort is one's...

Impressive. Vid could have used a bit of editing, but I enjoyed it. Where the hell in the UK is this? Wales or something?

These should sell quickly I would imagine.

Another vote for using a simple hand drill, providing your original holes are in the right locations. The insert sized bit that Jondrums' sells, does a very nice job self-centering in the old holes....

In that case, our boy here should get some brogues to go with his goggles.

Shut up you unserious rat!!

I don't know which is better - this thread or the heartcarving one.

Praxis BCs arrived at my door yesterday. I have to say that the construction just feels super nice. Definitely some of the highest quality sticks I've held. I'm really excited to get these out on...

Second this.

Can't really add anything super useful at this point, but I've got 190 Praxis BCs (Carbon) currently on their way to me. Won't be able to get them on snow for 2-3 weeks, but I'll check back in here...

I love this thread so much.

Thanks for all the input everyone. The Woos are tempting, but I think KW is right that the BCs would be a better all rounder for the occasions when I do hit the resort. Those Worth Humpbacks look...

All sold. Payments received. Will be shipped Monday. And tracking numbers will be sent.

YES!!! You should sell those.

So I'm likely in the market for a new pair of skis ASAP. Seriously considering the Woo 2.0. I've got my pow ski BD Megawatts - could be stiffer, but whatever, they're fun. My other go-to ski was my...

Ok, here's the update.

Quick edit, heard back from the person with initial dibs, just as I was writing this post.

So rheilman has dibs.

soups has 2nd at this point. Huskydoc, got your PM,...

Looks like Powder Goat is taking the binders.

soups, had a PM come in before your post, so some body else currently has dibs. if they're still available later on, I'll update. Wasn't totally sure...

All SOLD and shipped.

Dynafit Vertical FT12s. Used about 10-15 days. Bought them while still in UT a couple of years go and have not had a chance to use them much at all. Had to move, bummer. In...

And definitely pick up one of these.

Yep. I think doughboy is correct. The belt holds the pistons in or something like that, so when it goes, the pistons are free to cause total havoc to the engine. I've got a 2002 Outback sport and I...

Bummer. Although, I'm surprised that hasn't happened a lot more often in that spot.

It's very possible.

Here we go...

Looks super fun. I was trying to make a road trip work coming up from central NC, but too much bullshit at work to deal with yesterday, today, and this weekend.
Those of you who sucked on winter's...

I really dug it. Thanks for the linky.

Holy shit!

Oh man, what a "bad" a season. Hah!

Great skiing and chilling with you man! I couldn't have timed my trip better.

Nice TR.

This = couloiriffic. Well done. How'd you survive on 45 bucks?

The Cold Fusion bike/ski was an annual occurrence while I lived in UT. Such a fun day trip. Looks like you guys had some great weather up there.
