Yup. I haven't pulled the bindings off yet, but the ski buckled right where the shop monkey thought four holes in parallel would be fine.

Fun skis while it lasted.

Final verdict: completely fucked. I broke one right under the binding with two days of touring. Luckily they broke in the way back to the car. New skis are in the mail. So long, Bros, I hardly knew...

Fracking is all the rage, I hear.

I've put the bindings back on with epoxy and will ski them next weekend. Between the 37 holes and the -1.5cm mount, I'm going to buy new skis now.

Thanks for...

They're 179s. I weigh 188 and wanted a light randonee ski. I bought them used, drilled once.

Shop #1 mounts my Dynafits, very close to the plugged holes. Maxed out the heel adjustment for no...

Long story, due to a series of incompetent shops and ripping my bindings out, my mostly-new Bro Models are swiss-cheesed.

Would you trust a ski with this many holes in them, for, say, rock...

Really like the bags. I want one. Good work.

Really like the repairs angle. Good work.

Blog - great fucking idea. HOWEVER, you need a single page where you describe what you do, how you...

Actually, I really want these skis. Are you willing to separate the bindings at all, or am going just going to have to sell them myself?

I grew up in Eugene. It's a nice little town. I can't speak much about nightlife or the like, but the skiing's decent within a 2-3 hour drive. Good spring/summer touring opportunities, decent to good...

I'll give you $400 for the skis alone. I have no need for alpine bindings.

I'll take the Verdicts if someone will take the binders.

Damn, and I've got a 10' x 23 x 3 log that I'm looking to move.

One repaired ding on the deck, beautiful shape, fin, leash, and bag included. $350 if you can figure out how to get it from San...

P. S. Don't buy new. Buy something that's dinged up, repaired, with no delaminations. You're gonna ding the board with your knees, with your head, with rocks, don't buy new, it's a waste of money.

I can help you out if you really are looking for a cheap XL 3/2.

I bought a Body Glove 3/2 in XL in May, when I started learning to surf. It was too big on me, and I just bought the same suit in...

NO!

I made that very mistake, and bought an 8' board to learn on. It sucked so much that I quit.

Three years later I bought a huge longboard and I have actually learned how to surf. I'm a...

I moved to San Diego three years ago.

I thought I would ski.

I don't. Socal skiing, for me, isn't worth it. I've skied Baldy and a bit around the San Bernardinos, and I've got more...

Fuck.

Though I'm pretty damn happy with my life as is.... :)

I have a BS in Aerospace Engineering, a MS in Mechanical Engineering, and followed academia to San Diego, of all places, where I'll have a PhD in MAE/Computational in a year or two.

I don't ski...

If by Grove you mean the mandeville cart, it's open - shoot me a PM.

If by Grove you mean something else, then I'm confused.

409, you at ucsd, too?

Baldy backcountry is fun. Keep in mind that socal has lots of people. LOTS of people. The mountains can be very crowded.

I'm in San Diego - it's 1.5 hours to Baldy, 2.5 to Mt. High, 4-7 to the...

Fucking stellar.

Anybody get up there yet?

I skied Baden-Powell two weeks ago and it was shitty, so I'm leery of heading out without enough of a base to justify the gas expenses.

Anybody want to do some...

Whoa, that was super fast. I managed to get what I need, thanks all.

11 in Scarpa's old sizing system, which is UK 11 or US 12 or 29.5ish.

I'm good....

I'll take em.

Hippy.

Shit, I don't lose weight even on a almost vegan diet. Guess I gotta ditch all the cupcakes, fuck.

Dude! Congratulations, that's awesome. Good for you. :yourock:

BMI? I think it's pretty accurate. And I've got a fairly solid build. I've varied from 220 to 190 (now) lbs in the last five years,...

Pussy.

Sold. Thanks for looking. :)

Took a few hours to download, but that was very nice!

Good work. :yourock:

Sorry for the blurry pics; garage was too dark.

The skis' topsheet is pulling up at the tails, but every pair of R:EX/TM:EX/TM:X I've ever seen has...

I'm willing to split, but I'll give precedence to buyers interested in the whole package.

Skidog, if you'd really like them, shoot me a PM and they're yours. I recognize the bindings are more...

Pics should be up by tomorrow.

X-post from teletips....

I'm a bit strapped for cash, and having moved to San Diego, I'm feeling like having two pairs of skis floating around is kinda stupid (particularly given that I got in all...

Excuse? I've been working 12-7 for a month. And I'm sick.

Are you drunk?

Absolutely outstanding.

Why did I get all of three ski days this season? :(

Aces are great shoes. They're my go-to shoe for everything from trad to hard sport - I've never found a route I couldn't do in my Aces that I could do in my Scarpa sport shoes (forget what they are,...

There is no reason not to go wall-to-wall. Get 110s, or 120s. Why go with 100? They won't climb as well on icy traverses, they won't glide better, they won't be appreciably cheaper, they won't be...

I drive a 99 2.5 RS - Subaru's 'performance' car back in the day. It has the 2.5 165hp engine, 5sp tranny. It is not a turtle, and it handles great with nothing more than a big rear sway bar. No,...

Sky, don't fucking kill yourself, please.

I'm jealous.

I've climbed with a Bod for eight years. Still haven't found a harness any more comfortable than it - and this includes everything from hard sport rock to ice to alpine to skiing. Only disadvantage...

Lou used BD cores, which are made by Atomic. Foam was fine. I've dumped lots of epoxy in my Miras, which were definitely made by Atomic. No problems whatsoever.

Also, the slower the epoxy, the...

I'd be leery of plugs.

Two holes on my Dynafits are half ski and half steel wool/slow-cure epoxy. Haven't had a problem with them.

I always take my skins off without taking my skis off. It's fast and easy. I do take the skis off when I put the skins on, though.

Jtree is the shit. Haven't skied in CA yet, too busy climbing.

Glad you got out there, and with your Dad, no less. Very cool. Learn to climb, you'll...

Learn how to climb. I've been having a blast on the socal rock lately, and don't really miss skiing. Certainly don't want to ski enough to drive to Mammoth to ski a white strip of death. :)

It's easy to take what we have for granted, and be petty and selfish and nasty, everything that this man is not. Thank you, and congratuations on surviving. :yourock:

I disagree. Like I said above, I've done a LOT of sport climbing in my Bod. And while I'm a pussy with respect to falling, that includes a handful of whippers and lots of dogging. Bod works fine.

There's your problem.
