Just wanted to give another endorsement of ZPacks. Great customer service, and very creative products.

Just wanted to recommend the Backpacking Light Forums. It's like TGR forum for ultralight hikers - with a bit less frat-house humor.

Word. It would cost about $3K less than the Subie, and I would buy it.

Like Apple Computers, they try to very carefully control supply so they don't have to discounty anything. It's very easy to turn a healthy profit when demand outstrips supply.

The real question...

Sold to OS1080

Thanks for helping clean out my basement.

Din is 4-12. Plastic heel cup and toe wings.

Looks good. I also have a Vibe, and I'm not ready to see the drop in MPG (or the increase in monthly payments.)

Too bad there are no decent AWD Hybrid station wagons. I feel like there is a...

^Yup. You'll have to dodge rock bands. Bottom of mountian willl be sun-cupped. Likely no skinnable snow below lunch counter.

Dibs. I'll take 'em.

Up to date info (and permits) are always available at the Ranger station in Trout Lake. Always stop there. It's on the way.

I didn't know about the fire closure. :( Calling the Ranger station...

Avalung protects the airway. But doesn't prevent blunt force trauma.

Yup. 6'4" is tall.

The STH hole pattern is about 30 years old. (Next years' STH2 bindings have a different pattern.)
The Guardian hole pattern is brand new this year.

It's not unreasonable for you to expect that...

Awesome! Fantastic photos from a fantastic area. (PS: Good on you for patiently waiting in town for conditions to get safer.)

Yes. Lift that shit.

Keep in mind that this car probably has +200,000 miles worth of idling on the engine. The odometer doesn't quantify that wear and tear, but it exists nonetheless. Police fleet cars get beat up...

FYI: Dynafit crampons are usually smaller than the stated width. 100mm crampon is likely closer to 97mm actual inside clearance.

As I understand it, Goode has done this to their carbon fiber skis for some time. Actually adding weight to the tip and tail to make the ski feel more ... normal.

Buy my Czars. Price negotiable.

Damn that's a GREAT deal.

Around these parts? You might get change for a nickel.

On ebay, maybe $50?

This is exactly the thought that crossed my mind. If she wears a Women's 8.5, she's probably closer to a 24.5 mondo.

Beta tends to fit stockier folks better (than Alpha or Theta). Short tail, roomier shoulders. You should get a Medium.

When I got replacement volcanos from Dynafit, they also sent along replacement pins. It's another anchor point for the volcano. Helps with durability.

1) HIT IT WITH A HAMMER. Seriously. Turn down the DIN and take a rubber mallet and whack the side that's sticking out. Like a dislocated limb, it will probably pop right back into place.

2) If...

Evo has them cheap.

This would be my advice as well.

This is a known problem. There are two decent solutions:
1) replace the tracks when they break. Salomon has a 5 year warranty.
2) replace the bindings with Salomon STH model which uses almost...

The Quest 115 is a lightweight, "backcountry oriented" version of the Rocker 115. Different construction, different ingredients, different ski.

Thoughts:
1) IIRC, Speed radical has lower stack height at toe and heel. Keeping the Speed Radical toe and sliding in a Radical FT heel would exacerbate the dreaded Dynafit ramp angle.

2) This...

Modern AFD would increase stack height. No fun. :fmicon:

Curious to hear what your MPG averages.

Looks great! I hope you guys resurrect some retro ski colors for the paint job.

Ski them at +1 for a while. You can always adjust later.

PS: Those skis are probably too short for a guy your size.

This is why I went with BCA. The SCUBA shop near my house will refill my tank for $7. (I have to change the O-rings.)

You got skins for those Squads? Pics?
