What kind of fucked up elected officials voted down “coyote whacking”? This says something about the state of WY, yeah I know not everyone is like this guy but really?

Maybe Marshal will do another run off C90s, surprisingly capable in all sorts of terrible snow, very good in soft snow and good grip on firm snow

I have wider touring skis and I would definitely choose those if I knew the snow would be deeper than 10-12”. They are surprisingly fun in the new snow that I’ve had them in, 4-6” of graupel and...

Don’t overlook the HL C90. Punches above its weight for 90 underfoot and skis shitty refrozen snow way better than it should. I mounted mine at -8 and they’re very much like a skinny Raven

The Chiwaukums are looking fat above 5000’. WA Pass is open, sounds like Chinook isn’t too far away. Teanaway is looking pretty good up high.

They say it has no holes but that the wastewater drains directly outside, how does that work?

I decided to give it a go after talking with Kai. He said that given the difference in how we ski that I should give it a go. I’m really happy with the change. I liked them a lot at -10 but they...

He has links in the beginning of the trip report to past descenders. Ross P, Skye, Hummels, Dan Helmstadter.

-8 is the sweet spot for me, fixed the things I wished were different. Dead easy to stand in a neutral stance and carve or pivot now. At -10 I had to consciously change my stance to pivot in a...

Yes, the markings are on the underside of the abdomen. It’s likely a female, don’t pick it up

Did you take the same approach as Sam?

Yeah, like 15k of vertical and that steep of a line solo,over exposure and waaaay back there.

For me it’s not about my desire to get down the line but about not killing another person.

If I see too many cars at a TH I’ll usually go elsewhere. If I see a well used skin track I’ll go the other direction. It’s the unknown ability and behavior of random people in the backcountry that I...

Definitely the 177. Curiosity got the better of me and I moved the bindings to -8. I’ll report back tomorrow on how it changes the feel. I ski my Renegades and Ravens at -8 and love them there. It on...

Seems pretty normal from my observations of people in the backcountry

See my post above. Changed my perspective about avalanche trauma and most of the people in our small community of backcountry skiers.

No, just the people that are worried someone will think that they’re conservative/MAGA/white nationalist. Who cares? Fly it or don’t it doesn’t matter.

The funny thing is that most of the...

I could see that, although they did ski the same slope above the exposure prior just didn’t hit the trigger. Personally I don’t think I would be comfortable skiing above that exposure, any avalanche...

The last several posts sound like a bunch of MAGAtard boomers ranting and seeking validation. Who cares what anyone thinks about the flags you fly?

^Did you ever ski the original Nobis Inspired? The 88 underfoot 188. Probably not as stiff but just super versatile on and off piste. Your description sounds like it.
