I should know in a few hours. Free ticket would help the cause, in both my own mind and my wife's.

Edit: I'm definitely in if you've still got the ticket. Tried to send you a PM but your box...

Just jailbreak and you can fix that pretty easily.

Hmmm. I really want to get out for one more day. Would be completely irresponsible given my crap work schedule right now, but I'm very tempted.

Just update and get google maps. Much better.

Sounds strange to me also. My L Mirage fits similar to Arcteryx's athletic cut, maybe even a bit smaller.

YouTube delivers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqo69pZfr1A Skip to 3:30 and I'm guessing that's the guy that almost fell into the waterfall? Either way, looks like a shit show up there on the...

Goes downhill pretty quick. If you've got other shows on backlog I'd skip it. And I watch way too much crap tv.

No. But your use of that word reveals that you're a douchenozzle.

Often times there's a little wiggle room in the mount. If you unmount the toe, use the boot as a guide, re-align, and then re-tighten you should be able to get it closer. Do that for the toe and if...

Gone Skiing or anyone else running ground down tech soles can you talk a little about the process you used to get them to DIN specs. I've read the "vibramizing this and that boot" threads, but I'm...

Stickied!!

I'm trying to resist. No need for bindings but it's a really great price.

If they're planning on releasing a heel slider plate option sometime in the fall (fingers crossed), they should also put that up on the kickstarter. If the heel slider allowed you to switch between...

I've got an old Reliable Racing vice that was made by Ski Visions. It's plastic but gets the job done and you can pick it up in Boston. I can post some pics if you're interested.

Nope, just used the speed tap. First half of the holes had real nice threads cut in. Bottom portion, which was more of the actual wood core, looked to be a little shredded. Inserts seemed pretty...

Sorry for the double post, but I've got few questions that I'm hoping the collective can help me out with before I insert my second ski.

Just did one ski. Process went ok. Threads at the top of...

Why not just go with some plates? Wider mount pattern should help.

Yup, bottonhead screws. They should work, the only question is the length.

Got a pair of dynalooks with a few days on them. All holes in good shape. All screws present. 75 shipped. Pm me if interested.

I just went with what was listed on binding freedom's website and it worked fine.

Just did two more practice ones and that seems to work great. So 4.5 turns = roughly 9mm? Might put some marker on the tap just as a double check to ensure that I'm around the right depth.

/\/\/\ Still choppy. Looks like fun though.

Bummed I missed this last storm. Schedule has just not been working out this year skiing wise. Still getting out, but just always three days after...

Still on the fence. Slider heel would push me over.

Any idea if these will work if you've got skis already inserted for FKS? Always tough to figure out exactly what screws you would need.

Just used my jigarex for the first time. Used a stepped drill bit. Apparently the step doesn't really act like a stop. On two of the holes it countersunk a bit deeper than I would have liked. ...

I'm talking to myself at this point, but I swapped the L for an XL and those things are huge on me. Clown pants style. Doesn't seem like the Especials will work for me. My L chemical pants will...

I've got both the Viciks and BGs. I use my Viciks as my everyday ski, but only because I end up in the trees quite a bit and am bummed if I'm skiing anything skinny. As much as I love my Viciks...

Hmmm, just got a pair of these and they're tighter than my chemical pants in the same size (L). Seem like they're shorter overall. Might need to go with an XL. Hopefully they won't be huge.

I was just looking for confirmation that you wouldn't have to buy the dynafit toe pieces also. Cool that you'll be able to buy just the mount plates for a second pair though.

Will just plates be available?

I don't, but my good friend who played in college does. He lives in Swampscott. I'll shoot him an email and get his thoughts for you.

Petrics - I'll keep an eye out for the superbros. I'll be on...

My IB stuff is older, but is still going strong. Some pilling, but nothing too bad. I've always just washed them on the gentle cool cycle and then air dried.

Thinking of waking up early and driving up to the Stowe area to get my boots fixed and put in a solo day, probably at Stowe. Need to get it done before next weekend, so it's either tomorrow or early...

A great concept. But as others have mentioned, the big question would be whether this works with your AT boot. I'd want to use my Cochises with these but that doesn't seem like it would work, at...

This describes my foot more or less and I'm also in Cochises with Powerwraps. Haven't punched them yet, but probably will. Still trying to break in the liner a bit more. Got a nasty blister on my...

dark star. I don't have one for sale, but you can borrow mine if your friend's isn't available. Just send me a PM to set it up.

Easiest solution is the one you probably don't want to hear. Just make a little room for some toys. It just gets worse so you might as well get used to it now.

That's an awesome jacket, but your price is way too high. A quick google search shows that almost everywhere has it for cheaper.

I've got a pair of red/silver 916s that I bought from marshalolson a few years ago for 135 plus shipping. I was going to post them up to gearswap in the next day or so. One of the AFDs was missing....

Looks like a missing 17 year old at Sugarloaf. Hope they find him.

Probably do that, I'm using a jig for the drilling and tapping so I'll just measure it out. Still find it strange that I'm consistently sinking the inserts in 2-3mm too deep. The threads seem ok in...

Ski Stop in Westwood would probably be the only local place I'd go to. Otherwise drive north.

So just started doing some test inserts in an old Rossi 9S ski that I have lying around. I'm fine doing regular mounts, but haven't done any inserts yet.

So far not going great. First 2 inserts...

Not by Park City, but Twin Peaks should be able to do the install for you.

Any more thoughts on these? Durability compared to the chemical pants?

The huge blister on my heel is telling me to go to VT and pay a visit to my boot guy. But the forecast is telling me otherwise. May be in for Cannon.

When we spoke to the ranger on Sat. he wasn't even convinced it would recover at all.

That centering pin is a great idea. I've been using the Gator V-drill guide and getting it centered with the drill bit always takes a bit of time. Looks good.

Whatever the durability of DPS might be the thing I'm taking away from this thread is that DPS has good customer service.

I clicked on the OP's link and now I kind of feel bad about myself. Don't reward the spammers.

Pole straps. My old man fell back when he actually skied. He had both straps overs his thumbs and both thumbs broke. Resulted in two thumbs up casts and lots of ridicule. He used those strapless...
