Thanks guys, I really appreciate it!

Wolf - no the class doesn't cover those topics. I am very unfamiliar with proper survey design (as you can tell), but the data from this survey is really only...

Warning...this is SPAM...but I need some help.

I am writing to ask you a HUGE favor…please take my short survey (10 questions, mostly multiple choice). This is for an imaginary ski pass product...

I'm 6'2", 170lbs and I have been very happy with this softshell from First Ascent:...

Olympus just sold me some skis and bindings. He was very easy to communicate with and replied to PMs & texted quickly. Skis showed up quickly, undamaged and exactly as described. Thanks!

Has anyone tried to install inserts for Duke/Baron/Tour and Radical? Seems like the larger toe pattern of the Radical (as opposed to the Vertical) has some conflicts with the D/B/T. Only way around...

Awesome, thanks for the replies. I'm 6'2" 165lbs and bought a pair of 184s, but then I began to second guess. These will be my only ski with most of my time spent in-bounds and a few peaks thrown...

So I used the "ski finder" app on the DPS website, and the response I got back was either 176cm or 184cm. The rep who emailed me said he is 5'11" 165lbs and prefers the 176cm for ski mountaineering...

yeah, I know this is a long shot request, but it doesn't hurt to ask...

Isn't insurance usually for those big ticket items that you cannot afford to replace (cars, houses, medical bills, etc.)?
Obviously everyone's situation and philosophy is different, but I would...

BD Amperage (185cm): 2225g (4.9lbs) each

Bump for a great pack. I have used this for over a year and it carries weight great (if it fits properly). FWIW, I am 6'2", 170lbs, 21" torso. This is my favorite pack!

I spoke to one ski tech at Bent Gate in Golden recently who said they will mount inserts. They have not mounted any of my skis, so I cannot vouch for their workmanship.

Placed and order on 10/25 received on 10/30. All the items (inserts, screws, tools) were individually bagged with labels that describe the insert installation process. Speedy delivery and great...

True! Also, they said that if you come in on Sat (10/13) during their demo sale, you can take an additional 20% off. Or maybe get lucky and there will be cheap skins at the demo sale. Last time I...

I've got a pair of last year's (11/12) model which I believe are unchanged for this year (12/13). 185cm, flat, drilled once for large Duke/Baron/Tour on the line for 325bsl. Used one season, no...

I had this same dilemma last year and narrowed it down to the Gamma MX Hoody and the First Ascent 18k. I went with the FA 18k and I am very satisfied. The 18k is better than the MX in that it is...

Aspect on SAC for 3 more minutes...

Great, thanks all for reassurance.

Since this thread has some good mounting info and is the most recent mounting thread that is not "where should I mount my _____", I figured it would be a good place to ask this question:

If you...

BD Amperage? A bit heavy and with more radius than the Justice, but if you like BD these might be worth looking into.

+1
The ski tech at BG that I talked with in May said that they will install inserts, I don't recall the fee though.

Anybody know if Hestra is doing the sample sale again this year? If so, when is it?

Anybody else got any input regarding the S7 vs. Amp?

I too am debating between these two, but have not had a chance to demo either of them. For reference, I am 6'2" 170lbs and have been skiing...

How about the BD Kilowatt?

No rocker, but seems to fit everything else and since BD stopped making them, you can definitely find used...

I too am a sweaty mess while skinning. I have used soft shells with Windstopper, but these don't breathe like I need. I am looking for a soft shell with the following: Hood, light weight, no...

I too have a Variant Brim with Oakley A-Frames and I just pull the goggles out past the brim and set them on the helmet just above the brim. Never had a problem with them coming off, but then again...

Mike,
Sorry I don't think I have enough posts to send a PM, but it was great to meet you and HuckBunny at the CAIC Benefit in Breck this weekend. Really nice product and a good fit, wish I had more...

Skiied both the East and West sides right above the parking lot on Sat am. Snow was thin and hard due to wind. Not very fun, but good for the first runs of the year. Excuse the cell phone quality...

Anybody heading up tomorrow AM that wouldn't mind if I tag along?

According to PW's website, there is a show at Bent Gate on 11/9. Any details regarding this show (who gets the proceeds, gear give-away, etc.)?

Here is Lou's review of the 7.8lbs version:

Went last year and it was awesome, can't wait for this one! CAIC, you guys are incredible and I just want to say thanks for all you do. No doubt many people are spared injury or worse by your...

PM sent. Hope to see you out there

I am praying for you and your friend's family.

Condolences on your tragic loss.

Great pic of the falls in Chagrin. I am from there originally and everytime I go back I wish that town had a mountain nearby!

Been lurking for a while just trying to get more knowledge, but felt I should put up the obligatory first post on the "Welcome Wagon" thread.
