Hah! Maybe I can find a bc hut on airbnb... Really just a matter of time

Headed out to Jackson this spring and would love to do a hut trip if that's a thing out there. Any advice?

Sadly the felt liner on my Smith I/O's (non-mag) from a couple years ago disintegrated, however, my lenses are still in great shape. Looking to replace the frame only.

Brief trip report...

Ended up hiking in Golden Gate Canyon State Park yesterday. Easy enough to get to and variety of trail options. Hiked Raccoon Trail & Mule Deer.

Elevation and recent freeze...

This instant!

A bit off-topic (like that's never happened) but any recommendations for hiking trails within an hour of Denver that are peak foliage right now?

My east coast legs thank you all in advance for the impending suffer fest.

Flying into Denver next week and plan on renting a bike and riding some resorts. Which mountains still have lifts open servicing mountain bikes?

Very interesting...

Appreciate it, but over my weight limit. Going to be using for long, multi-day trips with some mountaineering.

Looking for a light touring ski 95-105 underfoot. Ideally 177-181 length.

Don't need bindings and skins but willing to consider'em if you're looking to unload.

Examples: Salomon MTN 95,...

I noticed Lange is still producing the XT130... What purpose do they serve given the Freetour? Parking lot walk mode?

Any Lange retailers out there know if the new RX 120's have replaceable soles and can be swapped with WTR soles? On Lange's website, looks like every boot in the RX line does except the 120.

Any experience w the Dynastar Mythic or Voile V6?

Was considering the 108 or the 95. Think I'd get most use out of something in the middle of the two waist sizes. The more I dig, the more I'm leaning twds something like the skis listed in the post...

Blizzard Zero G 95 vs. Dynastar Mythic vs. Fischer Hannibal 100 vs. Voile V6

Somewhat new to touring and looking to pick up a dedicated touring setup for daytrips in the Northeast and hut trips out West and overseas. To date, been using my heavy sidecountry setup or borrowed...

Tons of options in this range - pick a flavor. And take a look at the Moment PB&J.

Any experiences taking the Kingpins on long treks or multi-day hut trips? Wondering if they've earned people's confidence, and if the added weight feels burdensome after awhile and you start wishing...

Any recommendations on cheap ways to move a group of 10-15 ppl from DEN to Aspen for a ski trip?

Sounds like my worst nightmare.

When you say south mountain portion, is that part of the resort area? I called the creek and they said no skinning.

Just called around based on some of the suggestions and a little research, and here's what I found:

Plattekill - Yes w purchase of a full price lift ticket
Windham - Yes, $10 pass
Mohawk - Free....

Any good spots for skinning not too far outside of NYC? Resorts that allow it or, better yet, abandoned resorts?

By all the failures, I mean the several that are mentioned multiple times in this forum, EpicSki, and even on K2's own product page under Reviews....

When you say "stay the same" for this season, what about all the failures that were reported last season? Any updates to the boots' problem areas?

I'm in the market for a new boot and tried on the...

Saw the last multi-page Cochise thread. No mention of the Pinnacle in there. I'll dig deeper.

Any reports on this season's K2 Pinnacle 130 LV boots? Curious how they compare to last year's Pinnacle, and also the new Cochise 130's. Haven't found very much posted about them online.

Anyone have the scoop on the 14/15 K2 Pinnacle 130 LV's and how they compare to the Cochise 130's? Fit? Construction? Specs? Looking at these 2 boots for this season.

What are typical conditions over new year's? How's the base shaping up so far?

Alternatively, a friend is inviting me to ski Jackon over NYE. Would I be nuts not to go there instead?

Anyone know what the conditions are like in early March? Went in mid-Feb 2 years ago and it dumped for 6 of the 7 days I was there.

So... A Racer's Edge?

Not looking for a cheap motel.

Need a shop recommendation to mount Dukes on a pair of Bibby's.

Industry pros,

Are goggles typically classified as clothing or gear? I had a pair stolen on a trip and am claiming with insurance. Different depreciation rate applies to hard vs soft.

Bathroom mirror fogs like crazy. Anyone try Cat Crap Antifog on there?

What did Tecnica change about the new lower shell on the Cochise 130 Pro from prior models?

So what's the deal with the Mach 1 people were talking about a couple weeks ago?

size Small

Anyone got a pair for sale or know of a solid deal out there?

Not necessarily but would be a bonus.

What's the lowest volume boot out there with a 100mm last and walk mode?

Solid points. Wondering about this statement:

"The thinner Pebax is reacting to every change in the terrain and snow, thus exerting more fatigue on the legs."

If I'm spending a full day skiing...

Just came across this blog post on pebax vs pu with a little googling...

http://markshelp.blogspot.com/2013/02/dynafit-one-u-and-px-discussion-on.html

I've never skied pebax before. Wondering,...

What shops would you recommend in South Lake for having bindings mounted and getting the girlfriend set up with demos?

Simpleminded question of the day:

Which backdoor on my GoPro should I use skiing? The one that's full waterproof or the one that's presumably water resistant but has better sound quality? I will...

Random question... anyone know what the top sheet material of the old Gotamas (pre-rocker, Buddha) is made of?

Airport to airport, but if the pilot does snow landings, would be curious to speak with him about that as a possibility. Flying high enough to get over the Alps. I don't suppose that's considered...
