My season in the wasatch is done; I'm back east for the summer. It started pretty bleak, light footing around the mountain with a 35" base when I got here late December, but it ended up being...

They told me a few days ago they'd be replacing liners for me. My fit has definitely gotten worse throughout the year, which honestly it had to with how much booger material ended up oozing out. ...

FWIW Zipfit is still not sure what's wrong, but they're taking care of me. If this is happening to anyone else I'd suggest mailing them so they have data on what's happening. I'll update y'all if...

Sweet, they're yours. Sent you a PM.

I have a spare freetour 1.0 second ski kit. Lightly used, in great shape. $80 on the site - I'd do 50 bucks shipped in the US. Open to price police.

Great event and great season. This tour has been mind blowing for a few seasons, the ski men category is top notch entertainment. I'm really surprised it's not more popular to be honest; any person...

Live I agreed with you - I enjoyed watching Finn's run much more that Hitzig's. That said, I usually need to rewatch Hitzig's runs because he makes really hard stuff look so easy. On rewatch
-...

Boot experts - need help deciding if I should buy an additional S/Max as a backup. My general questions are:
- how many days should I expect to be putting on a set of shells before performance...

Yeah this

Also the p15 is ~10% heavier than the p12. Can make a noticeable difference if you sidestep a lot.

I got it, haven't used it. To me it seemed like a no brainer at $100 thru outside - most ski injuries are seriously expensive.

I'd guess if you have a heart condition and have a heart attack...

My bad, wasn't clear - success just drilling out existing holes.

Yeah the edge hold isn't great. For Utah groomers they're generally get but get a little skittish arcing on steeper terrain. A buddy has been talking about getting these dimensions made with a FIS...

I did exactly what you suggested with 3 pairs of skis this fall and they all turned out great. I was also a little sloppy with some of the original holes, inserts turned out exactly the same. If...

Haha. When people ask about them on lifts (happens a LOT) I describe them as slalom skis with training wheels

Has anyone tried these on Salomon S/Max shells? I can't figure out the best way to mount them with the S/Max's different power strap mounting (for those unfamiliar, it actually mounts inside the...

It's a solid point. However, I did break 2 pairs of striders (sheared off the walk mode mechanism) and the warranty guy said that particular failure was extremely rare. I bought my liners early...

It actually makes me feel better that I'm not the only person this is happening to.

As for consistency - agreed it's different than OMFit; best I can think of is similar to wet boogers. It...

I have some goo coming out of the point where the black backing goes into the leather. I wipe it off and it reappears after most ski days. I emailed zipfit support but haven't heard back yet and...

Oh I'll definitely take those. I'll shoot you a PM

I'll prob take the p14s, but will wait for pics to confirm.

Bump. If you're interested let me know, I'll probably run these over to gear room over the weekend if nobody is interested.

Salomon Guardian 13 MNC

Obviously listen to mntlion, knows what's up. But if you like boosters and the static strap that comes stock takes the pain away, look into the atomic dual strap...

I had a lot of friction between the bootboard and toe of my liner so I put a strip of UHMW on the toes of the liners. That + keeping shells under passenger seat foot vent + boot horn = boot slides...

Obviously depends on your style, but I found them way better in soft after moving them up. On the line it felt like the tip could get kind of wrenched around / wrench me around. Forward I feel in...

Depends on the snow, tbh. If it's funky, I'm on 118 or protest. If it's deep and right side up, I'm on 106 in the front of the boot, just diving tips for the continuous faceshot. Try it out, it's...

Haha. I never understood that knock on pivots - isn't this the preferred method for any binding in pow? If I'm up to my nuts in snow there's no way I'm getting my foot high enough to click into a...

Lifestyle affirming day today - was actually hard to decide what to ski, but couldn't go wrong. Huge thanks to soli patrol.

Insert folks, I could use your thoughts. I have questionable cores on a pair of skis. I don't know if they're rotted, but the regular binding screws came out rusty. I redrilled those holes for...

Sweet, thanks for the info, I'll keep tinkering. FWIW, I'm mostly just worried about wearing out the toe of the liner, it's not actually very hard to get (shells under my heater on the drive up +...

Ah that makes sense, thanks.

I use boot horns but have a big friction point at my toe (Salomon S/Pro Alpha, very low instep), so I tried a little bit of UHMW tape on the toe of the liner. It...

I thought I read somewhere that slippery tape on the boot board was a bad idea, is it not?

Deep, light snow I actually reach for my 106 over 118 and Protest now. Get down in there baby - they are very predictable under the snow.

Fantastic day of skiing in BCC.

First season of Ikon was 2018-2019 season. Prior to that there was MAX pass, which gave 5 days at tons of resorts, including Solitude, Brighton and Big Sky. MAX eventually became Ikon. I came to...

Depends what you value. If you value a good noise when you click in, go Salomon. If you value your skis staying on your feet when they should, go Pivot. And if you run 8-9, just get a P12 - lighter...

If this happens I think it will significantly help the weekend morning traffic surge (but for the record, I hate the premise of charging for parking everywhere...)

That dude is super fun. I wouldn't call him a friend because I barely know him. However, I used to see him chilling at the ridge weather station or on the backside of boundary cliffs pretty...

I'm not sure what else they can do right now. They can't build bigger parking lots.

They do partially fund the regular ski bus, which tells me they do care about getting more people up there. ...

Solitude tried to get an app up last winter but failed. I've heard the Bird had one in the past, not sure if they still do.

They need incentives for parking pass holders. If they gave me money...

Yeah... A huge part of what makes the wasatch so great is limited parking = limited people. Gondola / improved bus / whatever all threaten that by increasing the people who can get to the resorts. ...

Good to know, thanks.

It will be interesting to see the details of Solitude's reservation system; hopefully they allocate enough spots for parking passes that it's relatively easy to get a spot....

If you can reliably get parking reservations at Solitude then it will be quite nice to know you'll get a spot. That's a significant if though. I know there was some chatter in this thread about...

Ah, word, and weird, I was talking per canyon. I think 80 is tight but on pow days in the past it was super tight. 80 is 4 people across by 20 people deep, which seems reasonable. Even if its 60 per...

Try that math again, every 30 minutes is two per hour. 80 people per bus is my estimate. So running every 5 minutes that's 960 people per hour, which would take a LOT of cars off the road (~400...

Busing will work if they actually run a bus system that works decently well, but we can't prove it works on our own. Pre-covid I rode it every day and as long as you got on early it was fantastic. ...

This. And if the toll is $20+ there are going to be knife fights for spots on buses.

Agreed, it is confusing. We thought maybe the price of a 4 vs 6 isn't that different (I think 6 typically have fewer chairs, and I think they make more 6 person lifts than 4 so you get some...

Hah, yeah, you know who I am. Too funny. I’m back east for the summer but I’ll ask for change next season when I see you guys.

And to your point, if I need to buckle boots or do something else...

Not Corey but I ski with him quite a bit, he’s the man.

And that’s too funny. He did set it all the way to pinnacle (I went high cause fuck kicking that low one in, too much work), but then we...
