S. Arm is great for sure, but you're probably looking at a minimum 2 hour drive, and probably closer to 3 hours with the border crossing and all...

Most definitely excellent customer service. Quick, responsive and stand by their product.

I'm about 6'4" and 200 pounds and the flex 2 are fine for me. But I dunno, at 265... Maybe talk to the DPS guys when they are less rushed and see if they have a different opinion? I don't think...

I've had a WRX for several years and it is super-stable for winter driving. Overall, I'm very happy with it. I was a bit worried about the lack of clearance myself, but it really hasn't been a...

I second the Tiekel Lodge. I stayed there two years ago, and really liked it. It's quite close to ARL, so the drive will be easy. Very relaxed and low-key. I'm sure they would let you store...

I just showed up last year when they were sold out and they managed to squeeze me in. A bit risky to go all that way, but it seems that there are often no shows. Maybe call and get on a wait list...

Meat - that sucks, curious to hear details. Would also be interested to hear if other people have had the same problem. From the posts I have read, it seemed like some were using the dynafit/fat...

I am assembling the same rig that you are contemplating (Factors/120s/dynafits) and had the same question. Before you get search JONGed, there are a few threads around here about this. But to...

Cool thread. I tour on Explosivs and Freerides and it works well. Yes, it is on the heavy side, but the weight is fine for most tours.

Great review - sounds super-sweet. How would you compare it to the Lotus 120? (You may be one of the few people who has skied both.)

Thanks. - to clarify, this wouldn't be my everyday in-bounds ski, just for pow days. Of course, even pow days can have a variety of conditions... I have a friend who sometime skis dynafits in...

Yet another variation on the question “Help me pick my gear.” I’ve searched, which has helped me focus my questions somewhat. Feel free to JONG away.

I looking at a new set-up for touring and...

Thanks, I actually found some of those threads, but didn't seem to be right on point.

Oh, and I don't think I qualify as a JONG - Maybe just a JOG.:wink:

Quick dynafit question that I haven't been able to find an answer for yet. I'm looking at the following set up: bd factor/method or garmont radium, with dynafit bindings on a 120-130 mm ski -...

Definitely need some improvement on the lifts - this seems like a decent start. They are probably being forced to improve because of Revy down the road. I imagine Revy is sucking up most of the...

I'm a bit surprised Whistler/BC hasn't got more love here. Seems to excel in all criteria, and would probably be convenient from Tokyo. Some risk of rain at the base, I guess, but most years the...

I always liked the term SPORE (stupid people on rental equipment). But as long as they're having fun, more power to 'em.

Thanks. We aren't in the habit of blindly following tracks in an area and snowpack we don't know. But good to know that even side country is a bit burly - this will make sure I'm not overly...

Hi, my wife and I are going to be spending a few days in Telluride in mid-March. We would like to get out for some mellow low-angle turns. Looking for some fun turns, with reasonable avie risk. ...

Good luck on the refund, but it's a long shot. After getting screwed by both Fed Ex and UPS, I always go with USPS and make that very clear to shops in the US.

Have been there the last two weekends. You really can't go wrong. It's all good. Check out the bootpack if the pow starts getting a bit chopped on the other runs. There are far less crowds than...

Hi - looking for new bindings and am deciding between: 1) Look px12 lifters, or 2) Look P12 (old school turntable) demo bindings. Both of these bindings are new. Thoughts? I'm leaning towards...

Hey Srozing - where were you in K-country? Up at Highwood? Tomorrow could be interesting!

Got to attend my brother's graduation in LA Friday, so I won't be around this weekend. Goat's Eye is closed, the rest of the mountain looks to have decent coverage (although I'm not sure what's...

Some gotten. It was nice today, and snowed most of the day. Tomorrow should be good as well if any of you can make it up. Thanks to Powslut and his friend R for showing a wheezing flatlander...

Thinking of Sunshine tomorrow if I can successfully navigate all the mind-numbing bureaucratic chores associated with this move. Anyone else is thinking of going let me know.

Sorry I didn't meet up with any of you today. My computer crashed when I tried to log on last night to get the latest info, so didn't know who was around. (I know, it sounds like "the dog ate my...

Just got back from Sunshine - kicking myself that I didn't leave a description. It was pretty good, although because of my solo status I didn't get to the dive - it looked really good. I'm up for...

The drive was beautiful, I don't start work for another two weeks, and it's dumping in the mountains. Thursday looks like it should be pretty damn good - anyone up for a ski? Just let me know when...

Viva got it - NAFTA work visa. Minimal paperwork and wait time, and I had no problem with the consulate in Seattle. It's good for 1 year and then renewable. Of course, after a year I should have...

Thanks all. I'm sure I'll get a few days of skiing back in Seattle next year. After all, it's only a 90 minute flight. Calgarians - I'll PM around my arrival time. Right now the plan is to get in...

So next week at this time I will wake up in Calgary, my new home. It's still hard to believe I'm moving from the city were I was born and lived in for more than 30 years. But when you've met the...

The one at the Pike Place Market is probably Chez Shea - very nice, small, good views, romantic... and expensive.

Buster has a good list. I like the Flying Fish if you want to stay in the $20 -...

I'm surprised how many people would take the run. I guess I weigh long-term consequences pretty heavily, because there's no way I would sacrifice a knee. I ski many runs each season that I already...

Coincidentally, my girlfriend's 25+5 was stolen a few days ago...

You didn't buy it out of a van or anything, I hope. ;)

It is a sweet pack, although we're now thinking of stepping up to the...

Heh - still waiting for evidence...

I think it should be totally up to Stevens whether or not he steps down. A false start is a false start. (Although I can't figure out how on earth Thorpe managed to false start in the prelim of a...

I've also had some really great powder days in May at Whistler. You can also get good package deals around that time. Definitely a great time for a weekend trip.

Saw this film about a month ago - pretty intense stuff. I thought it was very well done, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. Definitely go see it.

I would like to go, but I'm too busy prepping for a move. Hope the weather cooperates for y'all.

There's not many I would consider great using Ice's criteria, but here's my short list:

Pixies - Doolittle
Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
Pearl Jam - Ten
Nivana - Nevermind.

[So...

Note to self... Set calendar and check back here in exactly one month.

Sounds like a kick-ass trip.

I wonder why they took that old poma out anyway. Last time I was there, I asked a patroller about it, and he looked at me like I was crazy. (Poma? What poma?) It's a pretty fun run, a pity it will...

Seemed like an appropriate story, given today's discussions...


Intoxicated man seeks trooper job, is arrested as he drives away.

Not a big star, but I think Brent Barry is pretty damn funny.

Home ownership is great for tax refunds - of course my 80 lap dances went right back into the house, and my intaxication wore off.

If you are thinking about seeing a lawyer, do it as soon as possible. In most states, you only have three years from the date you "discovered" the negligence to file a lawsuit and it sounds like...

Great pictures. Great turns. Great scenery. Just great.

Your fellow law students need to be enticed into drinking heavily?

What the hell kind of law school is this anyway? ;)

These folks seem somewhat self-conscious, so may not participate in any...
