So happy I ditched work today and made the trip to Whitegrass. Great way to end my season.

I was out at Whitegrass yesterday and it was still holding up very well. See my TR posted today. 4-6" pow over breakable crust, probably 6-24" dense base under. Sun baked it all day, so it was...

Great day at Whitegrass Saturday. Rode mostly shin-knee deep pow over dense base and fresh tracks were easy to find. Thanks JGB for showing us a few of your favorite lines.

Used last season and one day so far this season. AT/Dynafit compatible. Probably 12 days total, mix of touring and resort. Intuition liners heat molded once last February. Good clean condition...

Marmot "Fulcrum", fire (red), XL, Gore-Tex Pro Shell. Great condition, only worn 6 times. I'm 6', 200# and the arms are just a tad bit long for my liking. Would probably fit you perfect. ...

I have a 2004 Hyunai Santa Fe (4WD) 3.5L V6 and it's a solid performer in the snow. Major bang:buck, IMO. I haven't driven any of the newer vintage Santa Fe's, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend...

I have a similar setup. Scarpa Mobe's + Dynafit FT12 + Sollyfit plates + 189 VCT Turbos (09/10). I dumped Dukes for the FT12's for easier touring and couldn't be happier. I ski just as hard on the...

I'm 6'1" 210# and have 189 Turbo's mounted with Sollyfit plates and have done some resort sidecountry with them. I was hoping to do some more extensive touring this season, but not enough snow yet....

I've heard good things about the Ibasso products (D12 might work) http://www.ibasso.com
Also Grace m903 http://www.gracedesign.com/products/m903/m903.htm, which is likely a noticeable bump in build...

thanks for the flylows.

Any SW PA or N/NE WV mags that could provide good info or even partner up on touring the region? I just took a contract near Pittsburgh, so I'm within striking distance of Snowshoe and...

quiver will remain static for the 2011-12 season:
189 4frnt VCT Turbo with Sollyfit
186 Head Monster iM88 with Head Mojo15's
I'll be poking around the N/NE/E WV mtns this season.

I have fond memories of Lightning Trees @ Abasin

Mt. Pleasant (f/k/a Mtn View) in Cambridge Springs, PA (between Erie and Pittsburgh). 320 vertical feet of fun.

Obviously the humor missed the mark. I'm new here but not new to the BC.

Good info - thanks!

While I have BC gear and training, others in our group do not, which is why I'm steering toward a guide outfit. If I was solo, I'd definitely take you up on your offer. I saw that video this...

This I agree with 100%. I doubt there are any patrollers on the Board of Directors of JHMR. Corporate agenda and patroller agenda do not always align. You already mentioned SV - prime example. ...

Thanks. I don't doubt it, but I'll be skiing 4-5 days and thought a side trip away from the resort might be a good change of pace and some different terrain. Is the hike-to just for steeps/chutes...

Can someone tell me where it slides? I'll just avoid those areas and will be fine. Just stay in the trees, right? [/JONG]

2nd the Sollyfits - you might have time to get your rig outfitted before your trip. Exactly what I'm doing in a few weeks. One pair of skis, two binders, a bit of lift serve and a bit of touring....

Reduction of liability goes to the primary goal of being profitable. JHMR is a business and decisions are primarily based on the goal to be financially viable. No one would invest in a company that...

This is just another example of when private and public interests collide. JHMR wants to make money (primary) and maintain visitor safety (secondary), the public perceives there to be a right to...

Heading to Telluride 2/23-27 and was wondering if anyone had current feedback on backcountry options in the area? I know Silverton Mtn and Snowcats is nearby... what other options? I found San Juan...

I'm 6'1" 230# and I occasionally ski EC since I live in the NE.

Sad story. I found it odd that they would even consider tagging this as a "homicide". It sounds like the investigators are misunderstanding the eggshell skull theory of torts. While maybe there...

Unfortunately no... I just mounted them this past weekend (very easy btw). I was hoping to get out this week, but we're now into a freeze thaw cycle with sleet so I'm not too motivated. This...

Burton Prophecy? Take it with pile of salt since I don't ride the board much anymore. I find them comfortable and responsive and have been riding snowboards since before the bindings had highbacks...

Here are some photos of my VCT Turbo's with Sollyfit Plates and Solly STH14 Drivers. Slick setup. Thanks Jon!
