The 104 Frees I owned briefly came flat. Checked with a true bar.

I haven't skied the new Katanas, but I agree with Bandit Man's assessment of the 104 Free. It is not a charger at all.

That is fucking funny. I wonder what the vet said. More likely the squirrel died in his arms, he said a quick prayer, and he slid the thing into a trash can on top of some empty Mountain Dew bottles.

The OG Cochises had bases made of cold butter, but it was worth it. Newer Blizzards have perfectly fine bases.

My dad had a Bassett hound that ate:

A bandana
A bad of cough drops with the wrappers
A bag of Lindt chocolates with the wrappers
A peach cobbler and some of the pyrex glass that shattered when...

Congrats!

Praxis and ON3P use thicker bases than most. IIRC 1.2mm is pretty standard. Praxis uses something like 1.6mm. ON3P 1.8mm.

You sure know how to take the fun out of skiing.

I'd take a pair. Maybe one of each depending on the difference.

It would seem that Jessie takes skiing pretty seriously. So did my old dog, Sadie:363658363659

Exactly. See above.

I wasn't clear. They had already skied a lap there and were going to do it again when I passed them.

In the past Dynafit has offered two different liners in some boots. I think they've usually offered only the heavier, more comfortable, more expensive, heat moldable versions in the US.

Was this a certified guide? Or a "guide?"

I love touring solo and I do it a lot. But I do it under constraints: I stick to simple terrain. I keep it under 30 degrees unless I have close to zero doubts about stability (which is rare in CO in...

I think you're underestimating the top end of the 11's. And they do have a partial sheet of metal (you can see the outline on the topsheets).

I don't care about that guy. And I hate the Ravens and Steelers. But the've been legit contenders more frequently than the Seahawks or Packers over the last decade.

The preliminary report says 11800. That's on the bench. See the topo above.

Steelers and Ravens had to play each other twice a year and the Pats in the playoffs.

It was -16 at my mom's house in Estes this morning. Warm and calm on the divide.

Slope angle shading features provide useful info but aren't precise enough to trust them entirely. Is this what people were talking about? I use caltopo a lot. But sometimes a slope that looks like...

If you're dealing with buried surface hoar, it's probably a good idea to be extra conservative on slope angle. Otherwise I have the same questions as Foggy.

I talk to people about this sort of thing regularly. Most are very receptive. Every so often someone seems to think I'm mansplaining. I'm ok with that.

Plus the recent accident is nothing like the one this thread is dedicated to. At all.

This is what I want. A skinnier 11. The 10 is not it.

Same here. This is a spooky one. RIP Ian.

That's my understanding and what I was trying to represent. The caltopo images are nothing more than my "drawings" based on the CAIC images.

Very rough, but here you go.
