Buddy was in a tree well or a slide burial? That's a terrible feeling, brain racing not sure what the right decision is and time is of the essence....

Lee, can you compare the feeling of the Alpinists to something like the Crests, Raiders or RT 2.0s? The Alpinists look great in so many ways but they...

Why wouldn't you buy a set? There's been very occasional issues, but nothing compared to the warranty nightmares of Guides, Maguras warranty issues...

It also depends on how you're riding. If you're not hucking or plowing through stuff, you're gonna be fine. If you're hard on parts and break a lot...

Tour Lotus? Protest UL? If you want to spend some money I'm sure there a couple dozen smaller outfits who would make that for you. Send Franco...

That's a solid build. The DT hubs make those wheels a lot better. If you're on a small and not too heavy, you probably won't have an issue. Run some...

Nightmare ain't a stretch. Maybe you haven't seen dozens of them, but some of them become nightmares, like "are we going to have to get a grinder...

Shit, RIP that's awful. Young :( sobering to remember none of this stuff we do for fun is really "safe" This is one of my "oh shit" nightmares. I...

I wonder if that's just coincidental or if it constitutes a statistically significant rise... Curious what the reasons behind it would be (are...

Totally... Maybe one day I'll know what I like well enough, but there's a lot to ski design. When I compare it to bicycle design (something I know...

The cassettes are a nightmare, but nothing compared to their rims and bbs.... I'm sorry for the ruined rides you probably had Sent from my Pixel...

I remembered you could check the serial after posting. Fairly certain I did that last year but I should check again. I was unaware that you could...

Curious, what problems did you have with your ribbon? Did the you have the negative leak on you or just find it finnicky to set up? It's definitely...

I've read it! I suppose I really meant "I don't see many people talk about them as a touring ski/their touring ski of choice. I'm curious who's using...

I know the OP said he doesn't wanna spend much, but chances of finding a UL Protest used are pretty slim already, so enter the next suggestion - if...

GG makes decent bikes and they're a solid group of guys and a solid company. I came here to say stay the fuck away from e13, though. Do a survey of...

That would be a good resource. I've had really good luck using gorilla tape for all sorts of repairs like this, wonder how it would stack up. The...

Sorry, I did search but I didn't see that Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I'm about to pull the trigger on some Crests for all the positive qualities discussed in this thread (wish they went to 12 RV, but 10 will be fine),...

^^ that's what I was looking for. Awesome info, thanks. Looks pro Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

When I had some Charger BCs I thought they were the best in spring corn. Noticed them about as much there as I did in deep pow. It was variable stuff...

You need to do your cables and housing and get a full tune and wash/degrease. Take it to a reliable shop and tell them you want it looked at and...

I didn't see that the Crests have the elastic response system, but they do! Plus, with the way the brake is set up, there's boot contact with the ski...

Just a thought since the Wootest is on the list - get a Concept in UL layup. I toured on them for half a season and then pulled the dynafits off and...

I've had similar experiences and, although I am no sagely skier with thousands of days and dozens of pairs of boots under my belt, I think it depends...

+1 on the Revive. My thoughts exactly Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Based on how nice eTap rides and how easy it is to set up, I'm definitely eager for AXS. I really never shell out for pricey drivetrains (if I have...
