Thanks

Heading to Alta for 3 days on a multi stop trip and looking for good big fat skis to rent/demo. I ski with touring boots full time and most demo/rental binder's won't work with them. Staying at...

Anyone been to the gorge lately? Is it still being plowed?

Anyone been up to the Gorge lately? Are they still plowing?

If RMR were half the price of K3 it might be worth it but since they are both around the same price K3 is by far the superior operation.

Go to K3, Mustang or Selkirk Wilderness for some cat skiing...

+1 for Poopi's Check out http://seerevelstoke.com/ for more info on lots of options. Stay downtown if you want to go out or have a drink at all, the cops here are brutal and love impounding rental...

McCrae should still be good to go this weekend. Great coverage on the ski out. Prob heading out on sunday, anyone else going?

Brendan

Night skiing at Camp Fortune is good for some laughs, just make sure your edges are sharp. Patrolled there for 10 years before moving to Revelstoke. Quick laps but it's the best terrain in the area...

McCrae was good to go today. 20 CM's at the parking lot, 5cm fresh with a crust layer to help bury the roots on the ski out. Boot top fresh on the glacier. My doubts about access were unfounded.
...

Snow Line has been down as low as 700 meters in the last 24hrs. Was up at McCrae last weekend, was raining to the top but with this much snow down low access to the parking lot/trailhead is...

May as well go with a German name, don't want to confuse 75% of the Heli clients out there. Anyone speak German? What does "Flat Gay Pow" translate as?

I Knew Jong C would try to take over this thread by Cunting it up with his hate for Revelstoke. If you hate it that much, just stfu and don't come here. We'll be fine really, we have enough douche...

If the RMR were having a bad year then I could see them crying poor and closing early to stay solvent. That being said, anyone who skis at RMR regularly knows they are not having a bad year.

I've...

Sunshine will never see any of my $ until it changes ownership. I would rather not ski than give the Douche bag managers and entitled family members of Sunshine a single red cent.

You fuck with...

I just learned that RMR is planning to close 2 weeks earlier than previously announced. They have changed their closing date on their website but have made no announcement about it anywhere. The...

Actually, as a Canadian trying to get into the US with a DUI or any other minor charge is 100% impossible without paying big $ and rolling the dice. The US has far harsher border laws then Canada...

Twbarrett and Lillewellyn- I'm skiing at RMR usually 4 days a week or so and am happy to show some mags around for a while. Blue Jacket, Orange pants and a big ass Troy Lee D-2 helmet. Ask for...

Great pics guys. The blue skies and bomber stability over the last few weeks have been great. Don't know about you but I can't wait for some fresh snow and cloudy pics.

Best bet is weatheroffice.gc.ca , theweathernetwork.com is OK but snow-forecast.com is 100% useless for the BC interior. I generally take a look at all 3, then Hope for the weathernetwork to be...

Pics of the cheese109982109983109983109984

Let me know if you still want them

Just noticed all the responses and PM's. I'm at work so I don't have pics with me but I'm pretty sure they are 186's.

They don't have the mounting plate (sticker) on them and have one set of...

Looks like a nice ride, but how is Liberty an "exotic" ski? They are mass produced in China... That's like calling K2's "exotic".

The Top sheets look ok, kind of a cheap knock-off of a...

Came into a little bit of $ so I decided not to use these and just buy something new and reliable for touring. Everyone I talked to about it seemed to think it was a pretty sketchy idea and I'm not...

Insane... Josh isn't an incredible sit skier, he's an incredible SKIER.

Spending the upcoming weekend at the Asulkan hut. Hope it stays good up there.

Unless you've been there, you have no idea what it's like to lose a friend doing something you love but much of the world considers to be frivolous. I feel so sorry for the families and friends of...

Thanks Guys

Will try to figure out some sort of metal or plastic tip guard and put it together with some JB weld or flexible epoxy. Have to agree with toast that it's unlikely any other companies...

Love my 195 Kuro's, they feel like they have lots of life left in them but after 2 full seasons the tips have chipped away to the point they're pretty much nothing but Metal. I've epoxied over the...

Looks like Revelstoke got skipped over by last nights storm. We didn't get anything but a few cms and a ton of wind.

Have fun today south/east kootenay maggots, looks like you win this time...

Came close to a collision on the cat track at RMR yesterday purely because an instructor was being a moron. He was taking a kid down the cat track wide enough for 2 or 3 people, saw me coming then...

Just getting over the flu and a hip flexor pull, was planning on taking the day off. Woke up at 8 and noticed the dog was wading in snow. Took the dog for a walk and spent the day at the hill with...

Vibes from Revelstoke

If you're going Volkl, why limit yourself to all those half assed choices, get the Kuro everything else is a compromise. You have skis for the shit days, why not buy the best ones for the best days....

Great Vid, that creek looks amazingly fun.

I really don't understand why anyone who's a decent skier plans a vacation to anywhere in Alberta (except Castle) or panorama for that matter when the BC interior is so close. Revelstoke, Kicking...

The biggest problem with this type of situation is when one of the parties involved decides they should just keep going... Apologize and it's usually no harm no foul.

I've been hit by others a...

Massive Fail for Burton- they lost their "cool" 10 years ago. Is it ok for a patroller to ignore calls for help from some douche who is impersonating them?

Skiied top to bottom last run and didn't hit anything. Crazy good coverage for this time of year.

Picked this up yesterday, Committed to a season with a moustache...104293

Asked a shop in quebec to mount my skis 2 cm back from factory centre once. Went to pick them up and they were mounted 2cm ahead of factory centre (more tail than tip).

Was upset, shop owner...

Be careful out there Avy danger is pretty high for this time of year.

Super stoked for RMR's sneakpeak weekend, what time are...

Gorge = good to go. Went to 17Km and skied some sweet trees with AlexC and my wife Jody. Hoping to get back up there sometime this week or the start of next.

I have a Truck and a Radio, anyone...

swapped the base plates and everything works fine now. Must have just been a wear issue. thanks for the help.

Thanks for the tips.

It comes off no matter what boot I put in, almost feels like the spring on one binding is way softer than the other. Any idea how to swap levers, it looks like its press fit....

Who's going skiing this weekend? Thinking of the gorge on sunday, anyone else heading out?

Yes I have the boots in the binders. I Mounted them, didn't notice any problems but when i went to use them the toe kept releasing on the skintrack, even when locked. Cleared any ice and snow away...

I bought a pair of 2nd hand dynafit verticals and for some reason one of the Toes won't lock.

The ratchet mechanism doesn't seem to touch the base plate and there is a lot of play. Any...

Have had my virus tour for just over a year. Have 100+ days on them touring and hill use. Haven't had any real problems with them, broke a buckle, needed minor punching but who doesn't blow buckles...

RIP Jamie

Condolences to the family and friends left behind.

I have been using the Virus Tour as my go to boot for the last year. Use them with my touring setup (dynafit) but also use them as my hill boot with 195 volkl Kuros and dukes. Have about 100 days...
