Sorry to continue the hijack, but I'm also looking for Nunataqs or something similar.

Lots of good skis, but not quite the right ones, yet. Thanks for all the responses. Anyone else?

I buy most of my bulk Clown figures at GearTrader. Apparently alot of folks don't know squat about clown figurines. How can a sad clown face not be sad enough? Whatever, I'm the winner, as I get...

Hey, Seth, I don't want to err that far to little and light.

pruitt, do the APs have the inserts for tele bindings on them? I ask because I ski tele and some of the APs came with inserts for tele bindings. Looked long and hard at yours when you posted, as I...

I hear you, CB. I bought the Manhattans as a compromise, touted as about 8 1/2 lbs in a 180. They are great on the down, but more than I want going up on a long day. Turns out they weigh the same...

esales, beautiful skis, but just too long for me unless they're tip and tail rockered, and I don't think they are. CaliBrit, haven't been familiar with Scotts, but yours sound close to what I'm...

Thanks, Mike.
pmeister, have always wanted something dps, but have never been able to afford them. Man, the weight is perfect, but a little too long for me. Thanks, though.

hway2, what do the 185s weigh? I think I'd rather go a little short than a little long for touring. But I have a buddy looking for tonics. He's in Atlanta right now, but I'll try to get ahold of...

Problem? What problem? It's only a problem when my wife tells me it's a problem. Hasn't happened yet and I may be able to head it off if I get rid of a few pair.

Hoping to help out a quiver-thinner out there. Looking for a good deal on a bc daily driver for the winter. Something like a Praxis bc, Voile Charger, Volkyl Nunataq. I've got G3 Manhattans and...

If I remember correctly, FatYpus rotated their different models on sale for two weeks at a time last year. So if you're interested in a different model, check their site regularly.

Love this piece. I've been wearing mine for years every time I go bc in the winter. Just enough protection for skinning and easy to pull something over when it's colder. Mine's starting to show...

Mike, you're a lucky dad and Owens a lucky boy, very cool to see the whole family out. From the scree walking photo, looks like the west side of the ridge (PCT toward Leavitt) is pretty fried. Is...

Thanks for all the reports. Sounds like the Y on Leavitt isn't quite good to go. Anybody ski the bowl? Is it softening up?

Thanks, Mike, doubt I'll make it Wed, but maybe this weekend. If so, I'll look for you. PT Cruiser, right?

Mike, still looking good for Sonora Pass to open this Wed? Probably won't happen early enough to hit Leavitt Peak? Wondering if there's a snowbridge stil at the hairpin Blue Canyon pullout.

BC Mike, lots of great gear around. I've had very good luck with inexpensive gear. But it's sort of like buying a used car; sometimes you get lucky and it seemingly lasts forever, and sometimes it...

You go, guy! Of course you should! You'd look fabulous, you know you would!

Chicken, I've had some Patagonia pants that were too tapered to comfortably get over boots, but some of their pants are much more relaxed and big at the cuff. The hybrids I usually use at the resort...

I find a good pair of pants crucial for riding the lifts. My Patagonia hybrids are new-looking after a good five years of regular use. On really wet, PNW style days, Arcteryx GoreTex bibs are...

bfree, spray on might indeed be better, but you're a little confused about the washin. It doesn't waterproof anything, it's the DWR, durable water repellant that results in the water beading up...

Thanks, ShuShu for your reports on the Concept. Your review and Keith's recommendation helped me decide on the 177, and I've not regretted it in any condition. Tremendous fun in all conditions, but...

My understanding is that detergent clogs any waterproof/breathable barrier. The tech wash is not detergent, but soap. It may be that the original poster has softshell pants that do not recommend...

Incredible shots of incredible places. Kept hoping to see you on your Concepts.

Mike, my son and his crew were in a somber mood Monday, as they had just heard that their lifelong friend, Zach Orman, was killed Sunday in a paragliding accident in Arizona. Just realized that Zach...

Sorry to hear about Krystal, glad she's home and OK. Maybe I'll see you up there next weekend.

Fraid so, rip it up. Look for my son, Nate, teleing on czars, Flylow green puffy.

Mike, old Subie wagon and a Tacoma was us. Sun's out today, should soften a bit more. Hope to get out with you again one of these days.

Went for a hike this morning in the bc around Bear Valley and found a little winter. Snowed lightly, cold, never saw the sun. Beautiful day, but above 8K everything was very firm. Fortunately,...

PMing you about the ferrosi hoody

Skied the 177s today in 6" of high density fresh over hard crud. Can't remember when I've had more fun at the resort. Concepts floated well enough that I rarely hit old snow and when I did it...

Despite the thread title, I'm on 01s. Wish I had the range of your Freerides, which is especially helpful on these unusual shapes.

Skied 6-12" of heavy fresh today and had a great time on the Concepts. No tip dive issues, but not a good test of that today. I'm amazed at all the different kinds of turns this ski can do. It's...

Finally got them mounted up 2cm back of dimple. Haven't had any fresh snow in a while, but took them up yesterday to ski soft, slushy groomers, and they were very smooth and predictable for 117...

Skied my new 190s for the first time this week. Wow, completely different experience, huge fun, highly recommended. Can't believe I waited so long to try a full r/r. Great price, givem a whirl.

I find the softshell/hardshell hybrids very useful in the Sierra. Most winter storms, that's what I wear at the resort. If I'm touring in a storm, that's what I usually have, unless it's warm...

"BD tele bindings" tells us almost nothing.

I still ski my Arc Angels when I'm hiking on dry trails to get to the snow in the summer. Nice and light on the back and still ski the summer corn just fine. You'll be shocked at the variety and...

Thanks, Wetdog, reassuring about no tip dive. I was also concerned that messing with the mounting point to any significant degree could easily screw up the function of the reverse camber, reverse...

I'm 5'9", 165; I'm old but ski faster than I should.

I bought the 177s on overstock. They're the shortest rockered skis I've bought, by far. I emailed Keith and asked him if I was crazy to even consider them. I was concerned that the 187s would be a...

Just picked up some Concepts, will mount 01s. I emailed Keith about mounting position, as I was concerned that the unusual combination of camber and sidecut would require a very precise mounting...

Love my Patagucci, and I have alot of it, easy to find at 50% off or better. Most of their stuff I have no interest in, but isn't that the way it is with most large companies? But they have great...

Great story, spook, thanks for being willing to tell it on yourself. no response "even after repeated inquiries."

What kind of bibs are those? True bib or high-waisted pant? Picture suggests a high waist at most. How do they differ from an Arcteryx pant? Thanks

Grizzley opening does not seem imminent. There's a decided lack of optimism about it anytime soon.
There appears to be a good amount of snow down there.

BV was excellent today. A new foot of very light snow on a deep base. Snowed all day, but almost no wind with excellent visibility. And nobody was there, didn't wait at the lifts all day. Didn't...
