Damn... this thread turned out way more entertaining than I anticipated. Thanks y'all

Vise grips did the job, no heat needed.

So I had a binding screw with a stripped head. To get the bindings of (I had sold them and needed them off the ski quickly) I drilled out the screw. But now I have a screw without a head stuck in my...

I doubt Jeremy Heitz weighs 160 lbs, probably a lot less.

Curious how his new signature model, the Pure Pro compares to this version of the Scrapper. ...

In the odd chance that someone has a pair of the first gen Scarpa Boostic climbing shoes that they need to get rid of, PM me!

Fully functional, just dont need these right now.

Cant see the length from pics tho.

Thanks, found sth locally 2 hrs after posting.

I am looking for a ski touring backpack

requirements:
- ~42-50 L capacity
- avy compartment
- back panel access
- compression straps
- cheap :)

Have anything lying around? Let me know!

Ha, it is about time there was a Vwerks praise thread!

The Vwerks katana has been my main touring ski for the last couple of years. It is an amazing ski, very stable and precise. It requires a bit...

I came across a cheap, used pair in 193 the other day. Let me know if anyone (skibird?) needs a hookup. Too long for me unfortunately. I loved my 186 though!

Looking for a somewhat light touring ski for my better half 95-10x under foot, and 155 to 165 in lenght, depending on mount and shape. She has short legs and struggles with kickturns on her 164...

Actually, technically, firn is snow that is more than one season old. I.e. compacted, but not yet ice.

What we refer to as corn, or seasonal snow that has undergone one or more melt-freeze cycles,...

Just moved here (like the rest of the world it seems) and need to get some shift bindings mounted. Yes I could do so myself, but I left all tools in zee old country. Plus I am lazy. What are the best...

asking for a friend. Any recommendations in the area?

I took mine when i flew into the usa from Europe this spring. It arrived well as far as i can tell. Just tuck it in your ski bag somewhere and hope it arrives. It is a bit of a gamble but mine paid...

Pmd as well, should Skiwald bail.

spyderjon can hook you up. Great guy.

not mine.

code doesnt seem to work anymore?

Wind river range sounds amazing, I've been meaning to get out there! Not jalous at all....

oh yeah, PM sent on those Brahmas.

I'd buy your brahma's if you want to get rid of them

Not mine, but figured it may interest some here:...

is this the model where you could put the cochise soles (with inserts) on?

Lange ZB

Bodacious is heavy as fuck, and (hence) stable as fuck. I think it is a pretty cool powderski, but it needs a bit of speed to come alive. It also carves OK, bit not very exciting, and again, needs...

Yes smartass, but those sites are bitching about cardboard boxes, so i wanted to know if someone has experience shipping a std ski-rollerbag across states.

If I want to ship a 50 lbs ski bag across the US, what am I roughly looking at? Any tips on which carrier is cheapest?
(most likely VT->MT or WA->MT)

If anybody in Europe (CH preferrably) needs a ATK freeride spacer (AL05), I have an extra one, new in the wrapper with screws.
Edit: a pair, obviously.

I assume you've seen this?

I understand nipple clamps can change your (sex) life, but what do they have to do with binding?

I am jealous of that crate of Duvel!

yes this is problematic seeing that they are both red.

I bet Mikaela also uses different (softer?) boots for Super G than she does for slalom.

So there is no one 'accurate stiffness' - it depends on the terrain, ski, speed etc.

Although I...

I was interested in the 96 as a touring ski, but tore my ACL again so -like XXXer - solved the dilemma that way.

Watched the FWT in andorra the other day and the new kid Mael Ollivier skied a...

Binding stoppers pull skis together in my experience. Not a fair comparison?

Yes, al though its not Ed who runs it anymore but Kevin.

My wife and I will spend a year (or more) in Bozeman from the end of April 2021 working at MSU. We're looking for a place to rent. Ideally furnished, since we are coming from Europe with nothing more...

cool thanks for the tips. I'll check them out.

On a different note, if anyone has a lead on a furnished 1 (or 2) bedroom place for rent, don't hesitate to send me a PM.

Lenz for the win. Digging snow pits in plug boots is comfy now. Who would’ve thought. Def worth the €€

Tore and repaired my ACL (again) and will be moving to Bozeman, MT in April, so will finish my post surgery rehab there. I am looking for a physiotherapist in the area to work with, preferably...

Get over yourselves guys. The ski companies dont make money with the 10 pairs of bodacious they sell. Be happy the shift sells so well, it drives prices down and funds further innovation. I for one...

So I am two weeks out from my ACL reconstruction. I had an ACL repair two years ago (repair is when they sow the ACL back together, in my case with some additional stuff called an internal brace) ...

What is the consensus on this? Does it work out most of the time? Or are they usually impounded?

Reason I am asking is that I am moving to the US for at least a year. Debating whether to try to...

so if a crowbar doesnt flex (bend) it cannot transmit power?

As much as I enjoy this flexing stuff, maybe start a separate topic and lets get back to talkin new fancy gear here?

Shop owners will thank you for that. Especially now. I approve.

For me the nr one factor (ok besides fit) is weight. I tour a lot and with the Mammut light 30 there is just no argument not to bring the avy bag. Only in spring do I swap to a non avy bag.
Had a...

just be aware that just because an app measures something doesnt mean it is right. I seem to remember listening to a podcast with the author of 'why we sleep' that most of the smartphone apps that...

true on hard snow. But in powder you don't truly carve. (If carve is defined as tail edge follows exact same path as tip edge.) So maybe in powder it really doesn't matter much? (Though I too prefer...

Keep an eye out for the vwerks Katana. May be a bit wider than you are after, but it is an extremely versatile, powerful ski that is very very good in less than ideal conditions. It is my go-to...
