CRAZY RISK TAKER!

You should know better than to play with matches indoors. :FIREdevil:

Temps are cold ...







Oh, and then there is the too-much-flex-in-tour-mode issue ...

First, what you said does not make sense. There is no 'click'. The users of this binding are already in tour mode, en-route, when the breakage is happening. The breakage is happening during their...

Thanks for sharing. Nice writeup.

What Epoxy should I use?

Seeing that micro flex helps illustrate how the FT12 was breaking. Do that enough times and the metal wings fatigue. Now, can we get Powder11 to run the Peak-To-Peak line again with the camera...

This was the visibility during the rescue tv coverage. Not sure if this is the actual trailhead - looks like the area from the maps and parking and all:

I just posted up about it - and then deleted it all. As if to defend Lou or have some insight. Enough has been said and read. Time to move on. Hopefully I have learned something from this that will...

I was just reading this Park Canada report on an accident:

I don't get that. He has said in his commentary many times that this is a mistake he has made in the past and that needs to be guarded against in the future.

Lou is showing us the facts...

Bump for spring!

Damn good TR. Thanks for sharing.

Spring skiing on a really hot melt day. I stopped and a wave of heavy wet wave of mashed potatoes grabbed both my skis and started pulling me down towards a 15 foot drop. The tractor beam pull was...

Come to Blackcomb, we have Asian Pussy too! (On my to-do list!)

Thanks for posting that. Now I know that I am not the only pussy here.

Saturday sucked.
Sunday rocked.

Nice TR!

Dear Ullr,

Good to see there is still some skiing to be had at Whistler. Too bad I was at Fernie


... tiring my legs in the 20+cm light powder dump from the last 2 days.

:fmicon:

But...

Ditto. And buy some used gear and save a ton of $$$.

Good grommet job for rescue holes!

I just discovered that if I put my old Blackberry Torch into 'closeup' mode it will keep focus on the nearest object! Depth of field control for an old Blackberry!
...

What's wrong with Fernie? Great town, closer to the US (Whitefish Montanna) and also gets lots of powder. Probably a lot easier to find work there too.

As for Visa. Your screwed. So, stay, ski...

Exact same thing happened to me on my Garmont Axons. They replaced them no charge, no questions asked.

Someone fell into one on the WAPTA this week. I don't know if the person was rescued (delay due to weather).

..... YES!

(if you left out the word 'hardpack', then I'd say go Vicik. You have a great quiver and the Tychoon would fit that niche perfectly)

Depends on how much you weigh, how fit you are, whether you will be carrying a heavy pack and how far you are touring. If u was 200lbs plus a pack + unconsolidated snow ... I would suggest 95mm or...

Only several washes over 5 years? I guess they really mean it when they say it doesn't allow stink!

Anytime :redface:

Maybe better than my last try: my old Prophet 100's have a 4 holes across in the heels. I was running Dukes and had no problems. I really beat that ski for a few years.

It...

Wear a helmet ... and if you break the ski, u can post one of them "I broke my xxx ski" thread. If u didn't know, real men break skis. A ski that breaks from a few 4.1 mm holes is not worth skiing...

Vicik is very fun on windlips. Not twin tipped so keep it forwards ... although I have taken them backwards :) It is not a pure charger and it is very playful off the groomers. I am really loving...

Your answer is in here:

and yes I am loving the Viciks.

Two great reasons to say ..


CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Can u post some pictures of the rocker and the weight specs of the ones you have. Also, are the specs exactly as stated on the web for width?

Vancouver Sun January 13th, 2013



I will never ski there again. Baker it is ...

Damn good name.

just kidding ya. But the real name is worse considering that they actually had a contest to find the name:

"The verdict is in, and the new high-speed quad chair in the Crystal Zone on Blackcomb...

brilliant. I want.

What was your last ski and what didn't you like about it? What tradeoffs are you willing to make in terms of weight, width, rocker, etc. ?

[/QUOTE]

I would like to add that the Maestrale RS also has a removable heel wedge. It can be removed or reduced to provide a lot of customization and to increase the instep allowance.

2013 Feb update:

I am still figuring out how to adjust my skiing to a fatter ski (some guy said 'those are like waterskis today' and they are only 108 wide) and playing around with this idea...

Wow. A few in a week. Seems that things are really getting going out there:
Group caught in Revelstoke, B.C., avalanche, one dead


Keep your head up and your skis on the snow.

What if they are not properly stored? :rolleyes2

Can Ski Boots Actually Explode If Not properly Stored?

Damn. Maybe I will keep the Titans as backup for when the Maestrales EXPLODE! :eek: For sure, price no longer equals satisfaction (it never did) - Scarpa is very good and waaay less $$.

Also, I do...

Aha! More fun on Cypress! Who wants a rescue?

I have a normal arch, high instep and 100 mm wide. The punch just made it wider, which I like because my foot spreads out a bit when I pressure it and I have a little bone (behind sixth toe) that...

Lots of rain here in Vancouver. Maybe the snow at Baker will be really good (anti-Jinxx).

Hi All,

I just got my Maestrale RS shells and tried them side-by-side with my last years Titan UL and the same Intuition liner I use for touring. For all those Titan UL owners wanting the lowdown...
