Love the smith chromapop rose for these conditions, but broke my last pair and need to replace. I also have some Oakley Pink low-lights when it's a bit darker overall. I have trail prizm's but don't...

Maybe conjecture, but I have heard a riding buddy raving about differences of the X2 post upgrade. YMMV

First time skiing up at Cannon Sat & Sun. Great mountain, lots of fun glades and great vibe. Sunday started off fantastic w first ones into a few glades, but winds took over and shut lifts down one...
Lol at the Snoqualmonix, WA
IMO an R8 should be a similar percentage more 'frontside' oriented as R9 is to R10&11. In a 180cm ski ~86mm underfoot, ~10mm less tip/tail rocker, similar mount point as an R9 and similar flex. ...
I would absolutely buy a Rustler 8 if they made it. Saw some reviews that the Anomaly 88 is as close an R8 as has been made.
Agree on the KOMs for that purpose, also the Rossi BC120 Positrack looks similar (not the waxbase). I've enjoyed the discontinued Marquette backcountry ski for similar purposes on low cover MTB...

Interesting thanks for the insights. Was a selfishly hoping it was same owners so I'd get some pass reciprocity, but hearing that Elk will stay mostly the same is the ideal scenario. Been a few...

Timely as my tiny PA bump, Bear Creek, got 6-8" Saturday, probably first time I've ever done a ~12 hour ski day 8:30-8:30 w/ my ski crazed 11y/o daughter and some friends. Not the best day I've ever...
Fun few days at Killington, this am up top at 8 and views were phenomenal. Rain started around 11:30, made best of it as skiing was fun and lasted until soaked to the...
Plastic bag under your pants has worked for me across PNW, VT, and now PA wet-pow days.
More inconspicuous than the actual products and works pretty well.

Bit of a reach back in the archives, but anyone know of a modern dropper lever w extra long pull? Have an old Fox DOSS dropper but missing the lever. The few remotes I’ve tried don’t seem to have...
Try standing (gently) next time, eventually you’ll be able to ride no hands. This makes me want to ride mine again now!

This only became national park about 10 years ago and these trails per-date that by about a decade. Otherwise is a good point, but hard to call them rogue in this case
