Amen, brother.

I just learned that you can get a lift kit for the Model Y to bring clearance in line with something like a Subaru Outback (8.5"). Apparently you can go to 10.5" if you really want to. ...

Yup, I see lots of Teslas around but always on the groomers. The snowfall rate we had on NYE afternoon was next level! 4-6"/hour? Wondering if it's possible to blast through that stuff if I mounted...

This thread is nuts but I see next to no mention of clearance. Is anyone using a Tesla Model X as a regular ski car in deep snow situations, a la Tahoe? The hitch mounted ski rack would suck but it...

...and I got another set of medium Freerides Pluses if billyhoyle falls through.

Jack - I'm optimistic that you'll have a full recovery. Your bones heal more slowly now than when you were younger but the fibula isn't technically a weight bearing bone and the plate itself can take...

Bump. Ski now in SF, CA but could meet up in Tahoe.

Looking to get $225 for the Factors (skied about 40 days) and $600 for the Zealot (new '12). PM if interested.

chewymix - How long did they say you'll be off it? Sounds like everyone's varies.

I'm going in in the next week or two to get a similar repair. Sounds like the meniscus is "frayed". Ironically,...

chopnhack - A little late on the reply but stay the hell off of it ;-) Bones need time to heal unlike most soft tissue injuries where you want to hammer the injury to regain mobility.

The pain...

Those bags look sweet for bathing.

Update from me for all of you who have gone through this mess (or are going through it):
Got all of my hardware out 8 days ago:
- Plate and screws from fibula...

@ CaliKid. Hoping to do the same. Leaving SF at noon. Crossing my fingers that we'll get a campsite at either Tioga or Ellery Lake. First one that gets there should grab two spots? We'll be in a gray...

Leaving the Bay Area around noonish. Hoping to get a walk-in campsite at Tioga or Ellery Lakes. Insane?

Planning to stay clear of the Valley but can't resist the allure of finally skiing Tioga...

Monday bump!!!

Monday bump. Offers? Trade for 186?

Probably would have been *the* ski for Squaw today. It was a GS Turnathon out there.

Bump. Offer?

Used about 15 days. Bases is very good shape: there are 2-3 maybe 1-2mm scratches. Easy fix. Tops have the usual chipping round the tips.

Mounted twice for Griffons: once at 338 BSL at +1 and...

Worn a dozen times around town (no camp smoke!) Like new. Got this at their sample sale last year so it doesn't carry warranty. The only issue I can spot is the internal stitching between the lower...

Errr...how do they ski? With a rockered tip, seems like they might be too short and the 190 might be better for me.

FWIW, the Gotamas definitely ski long for a fully rockered ski in soft...

Used about 10 days. Bases is excellent shape. Tops have the usual chipping round the tips.

Currently mounted for 338 BSL at +1 . Previously mounted for 329 BSL. I can throw in some Quiver Killer...

Due to impending powderfest, my girlfriend and I just dropped the Avy I class this weekend so there are 2 spots available if anyone wants them this weekend. Starts tomorrow. Only $50.

About to board flight to Denver so no changes to slc possible. Booked a nice place in downtown Breck through Orbitz and they offered some pretty good ticket deals as part of the checkout process....

Thanks. I'll check out Vail and Breck too. Traveling with the lady and not afraid to get little plush if the price is right.

The drought in Nor Cal is officially painful. Heading with the fiancee to visit some friends in Boulder this Friday and skiing on Sat/Sun.

Thinking A-Basin on Saturday, stay in Breck and then...

Michelle'sMom -

I've never heard of external hardware for a fibula break. Typically it's internal and looks something like this:
Broken Fibula, recovery - Teton Gravity Research Forums

If it's...

I'm using Puderluder inserts to convert my 180cm BD Verdicts from an tele-only set up (BD O1s) to tele<>dynafit swappable.

The only problem is when I line up my boot on center, two of the Dyna...

Great feedback on the Factors at the resort. Skied them the few days I had last year and they seemed pretty bomber. Good to get some confirmation.

The range of motion is insane on the Quadrants...

City-locked and definitely overcompensating with gear...

Already nabbed a pair of BD Quadrants for dedicated backcountry time. Strongly considering getting the BD Factor as a dedicated resort boot but throwing it out to the group for options. What would...

Looking to trade a pair of nearly new, '10 model, unbaked Shiva's in 25.0 for 24.5. Bought the wrong size or just need some more room? Pm me.

FS: Crispi Diablo Freeride AT Boots 25.0 $100
Used about 5x. Excellent condition. Liner hasn't been baked.

Backcountry.com is asking $550
http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorge.../ALP0143M.html

Super helpful background info. I got a couple of second opinions and the consensus was that it's displaced enough to require a plate. I also decided to go with a foot/ankle specialist that works on...

rehabit and others - A year out, are you happy you opted for a plate in your fibula?

I broke mine on Saturday and it's partially displaced. Two ortho's have said I'm borderline for needing a...

Bumpbump

Just put them on eBay but shoot me an offer if you're interested and maybe I can end early


BD Factor 30.0 NIB...

Girlfriend has fallen in love with the Shiva's.

Super helpful. Thanks. Even though the toe of the *.5 BD liners is thin, I think I'm going to get some length out of the crazy burly heel area once it bakes. The padding around the achilles/ankle...

I'm a bit between sizes on the BD Factors. The 29.5's should work but they're tight and I'm hoping to get some length when the liners are baked. The thing is, the liners seem to be thinner than most...

About 35% off retail. I need a 30.0. Thinking about selling over returning. '10 model. New in box. Pm me

I'm clearly late on this but +1 if there's another round.

We may be forced to cancel our trip to the Peter Grubb Hut this weekend. If so, 6 spots would be available for both Friday and Saturday nights (half the hut). PM me if you're interested in taking...

Nope, you're right. It was Squaw but, from what I can tell, it might be more of a terrain trap thing, not a huge slab giving way (it was below Red Dog, had already been bombed and was still dumping...

Mix it up. I'm on tele's and it's damn fun...

Would consider Explores with brakes.

What you got?

25-25.5 rando boots
~160-165 mid fat skis
frischi's (maybe dynafits?)
skins + beacon

LMK what you have. Thanks!

Great medium sized pack for extended backcountry day trips.
Size: L
Color: Bronze (Tan)
Price $80 (OBO)
