Sick! Super jealous that you got to ride some big lines like that with good snow.
How were the soft boots for the multi-day trip?No kick turns
No mercy

I don't know if we can handle this much stoke in our fragile state. That may have been more stoke than everyone else has contributed all winter combined.

Relax dude.
Seeing as it makes you feel better, sure! I work in a cubicle 60 hours a week and get antsy to ski 10 days a year.
This trip into the mountains looks fantastic, and I've said as much twice already on the previous page.Life is not lift served.

Poor mr wilks scooped on his own TR by the nefarious LeeLau!
This TR is money, the fact that I was not in the area nor able to drop everything and and head to the hills makes wish I was still on the ski team.
The AK chapter should rip.I don't work and I don't save, desperate women pay my way.

Soft boots pretty much suck,liners get soaked,then you gotta sleep with them and they don't dry proper,then the shells are frozen solid in the morning,as soon as the boots go on you lose feeling in your toes,put on the down jacket,skin like crazy until your torso is hot n gamey,after 2 hours your good!
We find that getting back to camp by 4pm then tent is warmish and they dry out some then too
It's all worth it though!

Ever thought about riding hard boots? (like packed out sloppy old touring boots), just wondering.

gav thinks it will make him become a poncy skier. Riding hard boots would make too much sense.

Nice LeeLau. I hope you manage to get it done. The terrain out that way looks off the hook.
My impression is most of the people who do trips like this are like mid-30s to 50s. It takes serious time and money investment in equipment and skills to get to that level imo, hence fewer 20s olds. (Not to mention 20 year olds tend to be too antsy for this kind of thing.. or at least I was). I just turned 30 and have been doing hte mountain thing for about 3 years and stuff like that is still sort of out of reach for me.. but one day... I wonder how many fanatics never get the chance.
gavkm27 just needs to bring more pairs of socks imo.

Tyler just graduated from University, He's 26 and broke, looking for work and an environmental engineer somewhere where the riding and biking is good! We'd like him to stick around Vancouver though so he can continue to build trails here!
Gav is 30. He's also an industrial diver with no commitments so loaded.Looking to ride the shore but don't know where to go?

i'm not a snowboarder. if liners are wet from foot sweat, my suggestion: vapor barrier socks when touring. this should help a ton with keeping liners dry from foot sweat and your feet (in intuition liners, at least) will be just as wet.

Now THAT was damn solid. Super nice work!!!!
Great editing on the vid, and that fast-action sequence towards the end was a class touch!
Nice music selection, too. What group did that last "Phase Three" song...I really liked that one.
I cook in the vestibule all the time, of course I'm lazy as hell in camp!...on mine there is a relief flap that the vapor goes right out of, plus two more flaps in the main tent,...depends on your particular outer fly design though....and I nearly burned my tent up one time when my little brass Svea decided to turn into a flame-thrower!!
Oh...on that propane heater you guys plan on bringing to Haines...make sure you bring a proper heat distributer/
deflector with it...otherwise they tend to put out WAY more vapor than they're worth.
I'm jonesing for one of those sweet Jones!!!

Well, that was worth reading. Thanks!
