and the things they do in return. I would have to see the woman before deciding how strange that was.

It is really hard to say with out knowing you but the Carbon version would have to be a whole lot stiffer then what it sounds like to work for a guy your size. I am 6' 3" 190# and like the regular...

For sure and I would certainly like to. Again may be we all have a different opinion of what damp is and I am not being critical of the DPS skis I have skied I really like them and think the pop or...

I don't think I would use the term damp to describe any of the carbon skis I have skied. It might be semantics but I think carbon skis are very lively and sort of spring or rebound out of a turn. I...

I heard directly from Black Diamond that the carbon version is stiffer. I have not skied them but would be skeptical that adding carbon and making them a pound lighter would make them more damp.

...

Sweet thanks for the link. I just picked up a new outfit.

Given the exact post title I am going to have to go with Gulfstream.

I have both and both weigh the same but the Comp offers more performance. Once you get used to the system you will have no trouble flexing the Comp. I use the Comp at the resort and the Pro in the...

On the real bad Sunday last week the CDOT mobile app said one hour Silverthorne to Denver. It took 3.5 to get to the tunnel. I have checked the app a few times since and the times on the app are...

That some people think that since some skiers don't have any avy gear that you must be somehow safer then them just by owning and carrying avy gear. I also agree with your previous comment about...

I have the Pure 99's and don't really like them in deep BC powder all that much. I bought them short and they are a great spring chute ski and also good at the resort if there is some type of base....

I live in Colorado but agree with Hugh. My best skiing is always in British Columbia. Start in Utah and head North on the route detrusor mentions. If you have to fly to Colorado then wing it. If...

To funny.

I think the CSIA is similar to the PSIA L1. For the MA Section all you have to do is pick a skill pool (balance, pressure, edging or rotary.) and describe what you are seeing in some phase of the...

It has been several years since I purchased anything form them but www.beyondclothing.com made me some real nice custom pants.

I like NTN but as far as light, cheap and durable you can't pick any.

Interesting reason to care or not care about another binding. I have no trouble getting past the fanboys, dorks and insecure people who feel better when they insult others. It is pretty simple you...

Huh, T-1, Hammerheads completely suck ass?

Makes perfect sense to me. His own forum for his endless OT questions and blogs. Jellero, chemman and scaramouch. If only he would let Ron join the place would be perfect.

I thought the same thing but Tom never mentioned once how smart he was.

No question but where do the regular TGR folks who keep posting like you fit in.

Holy crap I don't think I have ever seen so many people so desperate to impress each other on how cool and clever they are.

I think this thread is proof that it was the people and not Mitch that was the downfall of Ttips.

Ditto, I have had 5 pairs of their skis over the years and there is no way that would happen if it were not for Marshal and everyone else there I have dealt with.

James

Good to hear it fits

FWIW my Alpha SV is around 10 years old and was designed for a climbing harness. It is way shorter then the new Beta AR I have. I think a lot of things regarding fit have...

There are at least two. I have seen the one under 2 twice this week plus one half way up 9.

The terms Alpha, Beta and Theta have more to with the cut then the fit. Alpha is climbers cut, Beta is mid length and Theta is long. SV means severe and AR means all around and have to with the...

I ski the Movement logic X for a spring mountaineering ski. I am very happy with them but mostly because of the weight. They are 4.5 pounds per pair in the 176. As mentioned there are trade offs...

I just bought the BCA pack. I really wanted the Mammut but as mentioned you can't get them.

The things I really like about the BCA after using it are the hydration hose that goes in the...

Just Google shit for brains couloir and you will get a few videos of it.

Personally I don't think any of those couloirs are in very good condition so far this year. This is Colorado the snow that...

I have the new Covert Avalung that holds the helmet in two places. On on the back where it is more convenient or you can flip it up to the top when you are carrying skis. If you look at the picture...

I thought I could act a little under my age and step up from being a JONG and spend more time posting here. I figured it would be a fresh change of pace with some more stimulating content.

After...

You may have certain bio mechanical issues that cause your skis to run together like being knock kneed or duck footed. If so you may want to cant your boots or bindings.

I have been fighting...

The same people who own Movement also purchased the old TUA factory in Tunisia. Nanni Tua was managing the plant for them. I don't know if this is still true but I think it is and I also think he...

Many thanks.

I only need the toe pieces in good condition.

Hey Marshal, how about for some pures on BC mostly longer less deep pow days. I was thinking on the line.

I have the 120s for the big downhill oriented BC days.

Thanks, James

They look like...

I skied the Logic X as my spring couloir ski last year. They are crazy light and fairly stiff especially considering their weight. I would not want to ski them in any type of softer or deeper snow...

I don't know anything about next years skis but last year the Jackal did not have any rise. I have two years on the Scoop and it is a nice very easy ski to ski but on the softer side. It has early...

A heat gun with scraper but you will have to take off the glue and reapply. I do this with a heat gun and scraper. This is by far the easiest way to remove and reapply the glue. Once you heat up...

I think these will work fine for what you want. I use the very similar Neve Pro for exactly what you describe.

Steve my BD Neve Pros fit my LA Sportiva Makalus and Ice boots but both these boots have welts for crampons. They also fit my T-2s. They don't fit my TX Pros as well due to the notch for the pins...

That you over analyze minor things. Buy the jacket and pants. Pick the color you like the most and go out and use them.

I would get the Beta AR for all around all year use for your size. Just make sure you size it put your puffy under it.

I also have the Stinger Bibs and Theta SV. The Stingers are very baggy and...

The Beta AR is my back country skiing jacket. Mine is older and it is lighter and packs better Then the longer Theta or heavier SV jackets which is why I use it for BC skiing. The Beta length works...

I have a powder skirt on my FlyLow jacket and I never even use it. I find them annoying but like most things YMMV.

The difference between these two jackets is almost nothing. 63 grams lighter material in parts of the jacket in the AR. At altitude with really nasty winter weather I would want the SV but for...

I think you will swim in the large. The cuffs are huge at least on the large and should be no problem.

FWIW I wear black.

I have both Stingers and Theta SV. The Theta SV are a very athletic snug fit and the Stingers are very baggy. I way prefer the Stingers due to the thigh pockets, extra length and roomier fit. I am...

As of yesterday you can drive up and past the Butler turn off and up to where the road turns left crosses the creek in to the trees. So basically not out of the valley.

If I were to buy gear I would get Scuba Pro. Having said that I would be careful buying a regulator unless you dive a whole lot. You really should have your regulator serviced every year so it can...
