10 grand for four months in Europe? That's almost $100 per day! You can do whatever you fuckin' want.
Well maybe not the heliskiing, hookers, and blow.

JONG!

I can fit four or five pairs of big, fat, rockered skis in my Yakima Skybox 12.

Native = Born and raised in a certain place.
Local = Lived most of their life in a certain place.

^^^ Yep! ^^^

Dukes are over-DIN'd for most people. Get the Barons.

Don't confuse "permanent snowpacks" with glaciers.

"Never remove an impalement" is true for skis too. Leave them in place and grind 'em down.

Lindsey Vonn and Tiger Woods are both egomaniacal dingbats. They deserve each other!

There is not much of a height difference between the Jester and Duke.
Get the Duke and skins. It will open up a lot of options.

Dogs love having active owners and typically become better adjusted and learn better behavior because of it.
Take your dog with you on ALL of the adventures that you possibly can. No dog likes to...

Relying on a smartphone app to save yourself in the backcountry is a rookie move! It seems that you never have service when you really need it.

Instead of drilling a bunch of inserts($), just get some Schizos. They are about the same as the fixed toe versions - No slop or excessive stack height. They are NOT demo bindings.

Airbag pack and no beacon?!
Oh those silly Euro's... So far behind the curve with regards to avy safety and understanding.
Glad he was lucky.

The way I do this is by threading a ski tap into each of the toe holes, then purposely stripping out the plastic housing with the tap by bottoming it out.
This way, you don't introduce too much...

That's what MOST tech binding mounts look like before you use the boot itself to fine-tune the alignment.
It doesn't look butchered at all to me. Just double check that forward pressure adjustment!...

I have taken a few rides (300ft.-600ft.), been partially buried twice, and was able to ski out of a several (unscathed) over my life. I took a few days off after each event to get my head straight...

^^^ +1 ^^^

Dude...those baseplates on the Solly Ti's are weak and they all break.
You have a nack for choosing the WORST bindings available!
Try again...

Your shop was bullshitting you. You can put any Logic style toe piece on there. The problem is, they are too old and are no longer indemnified by the manufacturer.
And yeah, they sucked balls even...

How does a bro-brah big mountain skier pay for things?

He always "charges" it!

ALWAYS go to the smaller size (with any AT binding) if you have the choice.
- Stiffer.
- Lighter.
- Less of a dead spot on the ski.

First of all, those bases are THIN! I'm not surprised that your drip candle patches aren't working!
Use some metal grip first then base weld on top of that. P-tex only sticks to... p-tex.
I can't...

If you ski long enough in avy terrain, you're bound to have some personal experiences/close calls with avalanches. Look at the stats, most incidents involve expert skiers that ski bc often with at...

One more thing to think about...
Some boots are not perfectly straight lasted L to R. That's why whenever I mount Dynafit style tech bindings, I use the right boot then the left boot as separate...

All of my Ice Beaker garments have shrunk a whole size over time. Even when I'm careful to air dry it only, it will eventually get smaller. DO NOT ever dry Ice Breaker! It will turn into children's...

Turn them up to 8.
Then clean up your style.

If the snow is deep and dry, ANY ski will "porpoise." I could never understand why people actually prefer the feeling of pushing snow around with your boots and shins. Dragging through the snow?,...

You can make the new brakes work on the old Fritschis. It does require a little dremelling or you get an unwanted heel lift.

Throw them away and get a real touring binding. Then quiver killer all of your skis for that binding.

I have done tons of canted mounts and "duck" mounts too, but now I have some clients that are requesting that I do both.
After some experimenting, one of my clients has had great success with a...

Snowboard boots have no place in alpine mountaineering. Nice "kick steps!"

I wouldn't ever recommend mounting anything on factory crossbars. They are weak and pretty useless actually.

Yep. That's what it's all about!
My version of "pre-work" powder turns is; get on first chair, ride the lifts up to 12,500 ft., hike another 300 vert, exit a bc access gate, ski 4,000 vertical of...

I prefer leaving the helicoil in place and then pounding in a plug using epoxy and a heat gun to get maximum penetration.
The helicoil itself is essentially a "plug" already.

Of all the places to conduct a pot sting? Breckenridge?! You can buy it, posses it, and smoke it legally there. Without a MMJ license even.
Guess ya shouldn't be exporting though...

Go for it.

Good point.

What is everyone else wearing?! I couldn't give a smaller fuck if I was a midget!
What I do care about is skiing unmolested fresh powder in a natural and uncontrolled environment on a daily basis....

Throw that Naxo crap away and get a binding that isn't fragile and out of business.

Sverre is one of the best.
That was a pretty weak venue for a big mountain comp! The competitors must have been bored.
It looked more like a filming shoot for a ski movie. Complete with the...

LAME!
Reason #849 to ski Colorado. Where the off-duty sheriff will smoke a bowl with you on the lift!

^^^ Spoken like someone who actually lives here year round and pays attention.
I've skied all over the world and I just gotta say... Telluride DOES rock! Then, now, and into the future!

It's customary to post naked pictures of your mom, girlfriend, or sister on your first post.

Get a roof box JONG!!!! Welcome to the the thunderdome...

No need to send back the whole binding. Marker can drop ship replacement AFD's to their dealers. It's a warranty repair and does not require factory inspection to be covered. For FREE.

Bump!... back to the first page!

Off topic...
NO binding will keep skiers 100% safe from blowing their knees. We live in an imperfect world.

No kidding. I'll proudly claim my yard sales. They are rarer than Elvis sightings though...

My Sony earbuds sound GREAT and have lasted longer than I ever imagined!

Total crap.
