My wife has, we haven’t done it as a family yet because one of the closer CGs is non reservable, and the bridge from HR to White Salmon is legendarily narrow to the point where towing an RV can be an...

You’ll be pretty pumped when you see the Family Man trail (and all the others) at Post Canyon in HR.
My 5 year old is just now able to get started pedaling on her own. She’s on a Commencal Ramones...

My partner and I also went from a 2 person mountaineering tent to a cavernous REI Kingdom 6 for dog and 1 kid (with plans for an eventual second) … sure it’s nice to stand up and set up an Pack and...

I agree, look how dry that leather looks. Using leather conditioner just twice a season, I’m sure the insulation will pack out long before the leather wears out for most people. That’s been the case...

Bump

The WD110 is particularly impressive at very firm and dust on crust conditions, though of course I reach for my Enfrocer 94s when those conditions are likely.

Euros be like, 15C, let’s ski as fast as we can on heavy metal.

Yankees be like, 15C, is that French for this?

Damn, we missed out on booking an RV site for the Doo for this coming weekend because Snake Run Rally resulted in all the sites being booked! The place was empty after that big storm cycle at the...

Hey CG, if you use RockShox forks the tool is also useful for your fork as well. Specifically for changing tokens or air spring.

15C and you guys are talking Brahmas? The Euros sure do it differently! I’d be on the R10s for sure (I’ve never skied them, but 102-104mm with softish tails seems about right for slush bumps)!

Ah okay I think I got it!

Yeah, the forum is behaving better today than yesterday, but still very janky.

Thanks! Are they all flatheads?

And now I need to look more closely at mine to remember if the longer ones are for the toe or the heel …

See the post I quoted above. I?m basically on a +1 mounted WD110 right now (actually I think it?s +0.7 cm) and its fun surfy spinny but I?ve lost some suspension skiing it here as I?m more used to...

Did some hasty measurements and found that for my Cochise boots, the AFD height on the Duke resulted in 5mm of binding ramp, not bad. However the Pivot Dual WTR that I had on there was 2mm of binding...

Is anyone able to measure the toe screw length if you have any unmounted Duke PTs sitting around?

I did some hasty measurements of the toe and heel AFD heights and I got 20mm toe (with my AFD set...

Presumably the first model and width is the actual ski, and the second model and width is topsheet + base?

Moving from Steamboat to Baker … it would be worth getting an ON3P ski of some sort, if for no reason other than seeing how the cores feel on low elevation high water content warm and variable PNW...

Solid deal! BSL and mount point? And just in case anyone doesn’t know, the warden 13 is MNC. That binding has a pretty big adjustment range too, I think it’s like +/- 14mm.

Too bad I got antsy and...

lol this was an airline that not only wouldn’t bag for us, but also lost our carseat, and when they found it had a torn belt! Maybe it’s our podunk semi rural airport that is the issue [emoji23]

...

As said above, buy a car seat bag and check at ticket kiosk. I got one on Amazon that wears as a backpack for like $40. Airlines used to bag car seats in plastic but they no longer do, and one of my...

Yes, Spesh 29 x 2.6 is nice and monster trucky on the appropriate rim [emoji16]

I don’t recommend Spesh 2.6 unless your rims are at least 33mm. I use Spesh 2.6 at 35mm and it’s great there. It’s pretty balloony and lots of sidewall roll on your typical 29mm trail rim.

As toast said, Butcher is kind of a DHF clone though it does have a bit wider center blocks which makes less of a dead zone than the DHF … but the point is if your DHF is washing out then you...

Awesome! Will love to hear your compare/contrast to Jeff 108/110/118s!

By the way, Giant Pacific Octopus ans Quixote have their own thread if you want to mine them for deets. Not sure if the FRS has one.

I only have firsthand experience with the GPO, but I can comment on the shapes of the other skis and the comments I’ve seen in the Praxis Superthread.

GPOs were developed as a big mountain comp...

Anyone measured the depth of Xynotal tread blocks yet? They look taller than the Eliminator in pictures. Carl I suspect that might be a sweet spot rear tire for you.

The Dissector can brake pretty...

Up top. I may have to consider re-mounting these at -1 to see what that does with the stiff tail!

Almost just spit my drink out there [emoji23]

Additional shower tension rods in the bathroom are clutch. We have just one, in addition to the permanently mounted one. We use slim coat hangers and hang up all buffs, jackets, goggles, gloves,...

It absolutely is a lot of big heavy ski for 120 lbs. I guess my point was, how heavy is he likely to be come December 1, and then March 1? Seems like possibly only 4 weeks of resort skiing left now...

It’s got actual steep terrain, and is actually a short drive from town! [emoji2957]

It does not have quite the same 360 ski off the summit and go wherever you want setup as Bachelor as it’s got an...

Le bump.

You should also consider those 177 WD108 Gen 1s I have on Gear Swap right now [emoji12]

How old is he? How much of a ripper is he? For this season or next season? Not much left in this season … you guys don’t have as much snow in WA as OR, right?

He is already practically one growth...

Yeah that place is tough. Pretty sustained all the way to the base, those groomers are basically designed for people to practice GS hot laps all the way back to the chair! I’ve never been to Pow Mow,...

Probably a style / me thing at this mount then!

I think the OG 108s were at -6.5 cm and the 110s at -7.75 (I have not measured this, I just know that last year ON3P confirmed to me that they moved...

Has anyone messed with mount points on Woodsman 110s or the current 108s? I took a setup on my 182 WD110 that I was *very happy* with and I think I fucked it up a little, oops!

Had: Pivot Duals...

The more I fuck with mount points and bindings the more I'm realizing how much both boot forward lean, boot ramp angle, and binding ramp delta can play a role in mount points. But yeah as N1CK...

I was honestly expecting more sob stories from dads of ripper kids who are now too cool and too fast to ski with dad. "I'll be back later!"

My kids are 5 and soon to be 3; my philosophy on ski...

That's a nice video for "101 level" getting introduced. It took him a while to get into efficiency losses from inverters, but the way he presented it was sensible. However, the biggest glaring issue...

I can’t expound on the differences between race programs or kid friendly skiing at Tflat vs Meadows (I live too far south) but I’m sure other mags can, which is why I asked the question. White Pass...

I have not yet tried running the Volcanno off my 1 gallon / 4 lbs cylinder. I’d probably suggest a 2 gallon cylinder if you don’t want to refill often. Snow Dog, what size pail are you using to keep...

For resort … where are you moving from, what kind of terrain do you like to ski, how much do the partner and kid(s) ski, how important is their skiing experience to you in addition your own?

I know it’s not really comparable as it’s different equipment / different scale …
But the *way* they are going about communicating the issues and how they are addressing the customer experience...

Do you have A/B thoughts on MVP108 vs Woodsman 110s that you just sold? I’m pretty sold on my WD110s but am MVP curious. Also finding that the WD110 may have a a narrow mounting sweet spot but I will...

I’ve seen a roof box mounted to a cargo tray on a front receiver. Front airflow is probably not a concern in the winter and most headlamps and turn signals are pretty high up.

Anyone have thoughts about ramp delta or is it just me? I just changed a ski from Pivots on the line to Duke PT 12s at +0.7 cm; felt like a double whammy of having more ramp and also less ski in...

I’m so sorry about your friends and for your loss.

I sent you a PM.

Re: second skier. Statistically speaking the first skier triggers an unstable slope most of the time but not all of the time. Wallowa Avalanche Center hasn’t done an investigation yet but they...
