I thought it actually had a smaller engine. But it is a raised impreza. If you don't need the clearance, I'd get an impreza.

great review. this trail -- embedded in the review -- looks fun as hell!

gore windstopper.

Yeah, seriously. Electric Avenue is classic.

The climbing looked spicier than the descent to me, but I am always more comfortable with skis on.

Well done!

Pun intended, I hope?

Great TR! You've had a hell of a second season.

yeah, the death grip is a great way to end up with tendonitis in your elbow, which you definitely don't want. Maybe consider some padded gloves (under the palm) to start?

And, this may be stating...

I agree it's a great bike, but the dude asked to be talked out of it. I have never ridden CTD but it seems to have quite a few detractors (there was some pretty significant griping about it on this...

The only downside of the sb66 that I see is the Fox CTD crap that everyone is bitching about.

Similar story here. Guess where I'm buying my next pair of skis from?

And yet the OP is also not the first person to be rubbed the wrong way by PMGear's "customer service".

If poutine is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Does Onno still traverse into Eddie's from High Notch? Because that's some bullshit right there.

I listened to their album Lust Lust Lust quite a bit when it came out and then never followed up on them.

4130 steel, 68 deg headtube with a 120 mm fork, adjustable chainstays (16.9" - 16.25").

Did that movie make a conclusion? The complete lack of seriousness would seem to indicate that those guys are just as tired of talking about wheel size as we are of hearing about it.

SHINJUKU MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!!!!

Goddamn. I could die happy if I had a couple months like that.

I was going to suggest praxis piste jib in a 164, but it's a twin tip so you may not want that. Would be light with carbon, standard layup is 7.5 lbs at that length.

What about blizzard samba?...

Great photos! I drove by the missions in February after a recent snow fall and couldn't stop staring. Those mountains are fucking sick.

Were you in the tribal wilderness? What's the permit process...

such a good deal on these. bought a pair on principle. 9 minutes left....

^^^ I asked a similar question about 10 pages ago and got this from weasel1 (thanks, btw!) about the worth skis, which are made by Praxis:



Would be interested in hearing others thoughts on...

And here we are again. Can't believe it's been four years. RIP Shane.

Bumping this.

Re-listening to some of his old stuff and discovering others. Goddamn, it's good:
Songs:Ohia - Didn't It Rain
Songs:Ohia - Magnolia Electric Co.
Magnolia Electric Co. - Fading...

Can't you just give them negative rep points in return for being a douchebag?

So rad. Congrats on following your dreams.

I actually 8 cm is the ideal size increment for skis. When it gets to 10 cm, people (myself included) always want the in between size (191 Renegade please!). 6 cm just ends up being a lot of extra...

no shit. Besides everyone knows that Mt. Bachelor is the steepest mountain ever.

Taylor Swift - that "we are never getting back together" song.

planning on skiing the sidecountry with no avy gear at Jackson as well?

It's like steroids in sports. Now I'm all paranoid. Are my favorite artists cheating?

I remember the Neko Case interview mentioned in that article, god I hope she's not lying, because that would...

Awesome. This thread is inspiring in every way. Thanks for sharing.

This. Bridger, too. Headwaters @ MLB is like the Baldy Chutes except steeper and longer with more options and you have to hike a knife edge ridge to get there.

Good discussion in this thread. I, too, was surpised that you continued after a partner bailed and you were kicking off small slabs. [/armchair]

One thought:

Our local avi guys recommend...

I also have a code if someone needs one.

looks pretty sick for sure. has the rocker/camber profile of the protest with a flatter tail, and the sidecut profile of the concept (minus the negative sidecut bit under foot).

would love to...

Cochise x 3.

was going to post something else, but iceman's pick made me listen to this instead:

Kind of. Before Keith started putting a dimple on the sidewall, the mount points were spec'd as a straight pull of the tape measure from the tip to the mount point. I believe 99 cm was a good number...

They're for going mach 5 on everything and running down small children and kittens.

Wait, what? I've never heard of something like this before, please elaborate. Do they actually have people who hang out and yell at people for going too fast? Do they have radar guns or something?

Yeah, tough crowd. I didn't think you were being subtle.



Really? She could become the winningest skier in history wit ha few more good years. Not saying she wants it, but there's motivation...

Where do you ski?

You will not be sad on any of the skis you listed.

IMO, cochise is a sick quiver of one. Rips groomers, despite the reverse camber. Once engaged in a turn, the reverse camber...

Good answer, thanks.

Really? My boot flex should be blue? :rolleyes2

Lots of good comments -- totally agree that warmth is key and a good footbed / orthotic is a good idea.

But this thread is about BOOT FLEX and...
