Damn Wilbert, nice job. How the hell are you still getting northern lights? I'm so far north right now that we have 24 hours of sun! Can't wait to get these RAW files on my home computer, instead of...

Good snow up high in Lyngen, but lots of wet slide activity during the day. We even got a whoomphing collapse on Thursday at around 500m elevation. It's not refreezing down low and some of the...

apart from naked overweight hippies and drunk underage college kids?

I'd buy those LBD skis if we can promise to have an LBD next year. We haven't had a *real* LBD since 2009! No offense to the 2010 and 2011 "powder day" LBD participants, PD included!

Anyways - I'm...

^ I'd withhold that judgment until you've seen me ski!!!

Though I'm about to depart on a nate-like trip to my dream vacation of Tromso/Lyngen Alps, Norway, and Svalbard ... in less than 24 hours...

Another what-the-hell-why-not bump ... HOF worthy.

Update:

Need a partner for May 18.

I have partners for May 15, 16, and 17.

Staying in Tromso May 14 & 15, then Lyngen (Magic Mountain lodge) May 16 & 17, then Tromso again on May 18.

What's going on with the weather out there?

I bet powdork could use em

nubile is one of my favorite words ever.

hoping to see some nubile scandinavian girls myself when I leave in 10 days for the land of never-ending light! anyways, that means it's gonna dump in...

Perfect, danke schon

Mike, any beta on Blue canyon or the snow bridge across the upper Stanislaus @ the hairpin?

Wilbert that photo is nutty!

Franz and AKB throwing down some classics this year!

Personally, I prefer 5 turn shrub elbowing myself .... ;)

pm splat ... I saw some facebook comment about a 99 waisted BRO 183 coming out ... not sure if he added a rocker profile or not. I'm guessing the Prax preseason price will be a bit less than the...

I'll be using it on a 70-200 f/4L. And I bought a really clean TC 1.4 off of FredMiranda for $200.

ML, I AM CALLING YOU NOW!!!!

Mammal toe

haha gimpy ... I'm stuck in Philly at a work conference while everyone is out getting it. A certain someone I know said on Saturday night, after hitting Tioga,
"For all of you who did not ski with...

Anyone wanna tour around Tromso & Lyngen any days 14 May through 18 May?

I'm staying at Magic Mountain Lodge (I think) 15 May through 18 May.

Interesting. UCL is switching his (new and only hand-flexed, never skied) 182 meds for 182 med-stiffs. Seems like that might be the compromise you're looking for. I've hand flexed those med Yetis and...

^ Thanks for the info spats. Dude I wonder if you received stiff-stiffs instead of med-stiffs?

Because the pair of medium flex 12-13 182 Yetis I picked up for UCL had a pretty soft tail to them....

^ I hope it's not too thrunty filling a PMGear thread with pics from a different ski mfr from the other side of Reno ... but that's exactly what I did when I got my new Praxis 1.5 years ago :D

^This topic was absolutely not discussed on page 3 of this thread ...

I wanna play the follow nacho game! Sounds much better than the "try to turn around nacho while doing 40 and he is charging at you" game ;)

thanks guys.

need it for about 4 weeks. was kind of sold on the 1.4x since I'm already on a crop body and would only lose 1 stop of light.

I found a good deal on FM on a 1.4x. Might just sell...

Needed very soon for a trip. I'm scouring FM, but if anyone has anything, well, I have a much more established reputation here than FM.

danke schon

Nacho looks like he got some good face shots today

Danke Schon!

Good snow at KW today. Good consistent corny stuff out in Pali and the line under my skis in the photo. Cold wind kept the window open all day. Not too happy about 10 being broken but shit...

I bet in a week or so you'll be able to drive over Forestdale and be right there! ;)

Well that's awefully nice of them. I wonder how much snow they really do have - I looked out at the Ebbets range from CP on Saturday ... and it's the worst I've ever seen it. Doesn't bode well for...

diiidn't even know it existed. google search result: I hope you're not talking about Apollo because apparently that place went out of business. thanks for the suggestion though.

I don't know of...

Canon seems to charge a "standard labor charge" for out of warranty lens service. At least the Irvine office does. It seems to be $179 for an L lens. On their service pricing model: thumbs up, thumbs...

Yeah, the other resorts aren't even close to Kirkwood's coverage. Too bad 4 is now shut down at KW, because there is still really good coverage back there, and beyond. Really, the stuff Beyond is in...

Yet another underperformer of a refresher. Im sure it will be a fun day today, then back to spring tomorrow ... All this "trough on the 15th" talk ... even if it drops 2 feet, it would be on bare...

I spent last Friday afternoon on powdork's pair. Inbounds at Squaw Valley, spring conditions - bumps, crud, corn, mank, slushy groomers.

Apart from his funky Dynafit heelpiece (yes I think it...

Man, if the cloud ceiling lifted over CP well before noon, today would have been damn near epic. Great mix of windblown, windpacked pow, porn that was dried out by the cold wind but softened by the...

Anyone keen to give me a ride back from KW to Carson Pass around 4:15 tomorrow? Beers on me!

buttah, you bet! I tailgun even worse on a splitboard!!!


Those lines we were skiing out at Carson Pass, back east they are called "--"
Oh wait, there isn't a name because open powder runs...

The iPad can connect to a camera, and it can connect to a Hyperdrive, both with the use of the iPad camera-USB connector. HOWEVER, the SanHo Colorspace UDMA 2 can pull images directly off the CF card...

Look into Countdown 6. Less tip and tail rise than the Praxis BC - but similar dimensions from width and sidecut, similar weight and flex. That Austrian guy who crapped all over the EC thread has a...

Somehow I'm wedded to this idea that SSD is really what I want for data integrity in the arctic, and something I could re-use if I ever do something crazy "Deeper/Further" style. So I could also just...

Damn Hugh, between that, and the fact that I'm also spending a fair amount of time on planes and trains during the trip ... you're giving me reason to justify my emotional bias :)

I could probably...

Thanks, but 4 weeks rental is basically the cost of the card. I'm looking to have about 400GB of capacity.

That's either $500 in cards (I already have 2 x 32's though one is not fast enough for...
