Alright pics here, can't attach to the thread for some reason. https://photos.app.goo.gl/csMcpVPgYFeBJeTZ7

Super cool ski, especially good in pow, but I'm finding Ravens work a bit better in the snow/terrain I like. These are definitely a bit clapped, but figured someone might get use out of them, and I...

Alta skiied great today! Deep in spots, scoured in others, but pretty decent vis and lots of free refills. No complaints at all

More fun on north faces, stoked for this storm coming in.

Thanks! We had talked to him at the last transition point where nd talked about finishing it to the top as a group, but he pulled ahead while we were faffing with gear. We were probably 5-10 min...

I'm in town for a bit and started the trip off with something we don't really have up in the PNW - roadside chutes. Super good snow conditions, super easy and fun access. Unfortunately some kook...

Good yesterday before the warmup. I'm headed out of town for a few weeks, so you're all guaranteed good snow now.

Has anyone else experienced what I'd call the "flat heel" in the fit? Overall the Skorpius fits my foot really well, except that it feels like my heel is driven up against a 90 degree wall, instead...

Zigged when he should have zagged.

Skiied great today.

I just went through this exact problem and ended up with the Dynafit Free 97. Haven't skiied 'em so I can't say much, but here's a rocker pic since there's basically no info out there on web about...

Right on, I'll give that a try, thanks.

I think the recall is on just this year, or maybe last year's version? Mine are like 4 years old. I could be wrong though

Tried to read through but the search sucks - is there a generally accepted fix for the floppy risers? Loctite? Replacing the riser axle in some way? Mine are to the point where they engage every...

Had a great time tooling around the Wasatch for a few days, you guys have a lot of very accessible goods here and pretty awesome snow. I get the hype! Back to the land of rising freezing levels and...

Awesome, thanks a lot for all the info. Way better conditions than expected based on the descriptions, lots of mellow turns without rocks. Solar aspects have a wee crust, shaded aspect are good,...

Plans got delayed but I'm about to hit the road. Will be in SLC/LCC area for the next week or so, would be stoked to get out for some touring laps with folks. Will be staying in LCC, but have wheels....

Can we get some stoke going on this thread? It ain't much, but there is snow to ski.

IME they're awesome, especially in the NW where you're driving in rain/slush as much as snow, but I also did a season in BC with them, never had any issues. As long as the car isn't high-centered it...

G4 is just as good as the G3, I've been super happy with it.

I'm wading into the dangerous world of trying to help my partner figure out her boot dilemma....

How much room can really be made on a touring boot punching the toe for length? She's between sizes...

I'm sure this ship sailed, but just in case I am on the hunt for one.

Kinda a jong-ish post, but I ended up lucking into a place to stay at Snowbird for a week at the end of Nov. Planning mainly to tour, but would be stoked to ride a lift if doable. Is there a way to...

About 100k ago with my '09 I drove across the country with a fully loaded Uhaul, 2 extra passengers, and a loaded car + roofbox. Had the great idea to go over Teton Pass, made it up in second gear at...

So is the goat officially dead?

Any details on the Blue Lakes / WA Pass fire? First I'm hearing it and it isn't on the NiFC / Inciweb.

Awesome, thanks for all the beta. Stoked, will post in here when I'm down if anyone wants to link up for some sort of shenanigans.

It looks like I'm going to be spending the month of November in the SLC area, wondering what I should expect conditions/activity wise. Coming from the NW, so it would usually be early skiing if it's...

Twice now my front wheel has started getting a bit loose over the course of multiple rides, probably 400 miles between both instances. Thru axle, carbon fork (Kona Libre if that matters). Is this...

Haha, perfect. That does make sense re: the super cheap ones.

Can an expert please explain to me what are the supposed benefits of a "premium" mountain bike stem? Apart from color, I can't think of anything that could be different performance wise for the same...

Question on boot/ski compatibility - recently skiied Down CD102L w/ LS Skorpius, which I've found to be fine on corn and pow. In breakable/heavy windslab really struggled to get the skis to turn in...

IMO go with the fat goats - if your touring for pow you want the right tool for the job, and lots of mid-winter touring days in the NW are <4000ft of vert. Spring ski in the ~100s and get a shape...

RMR 2023 - come for the skiing, stay for the Grizzlies.

Two parts cream cheese and one part Elmer's glue at RMR. Just what we needed, should be a good reset for inbounds at least. Tough day if you don't ski goats.

FWIW - skinned across Lake Louise today, collapses on every step and could get cracks to propagate... on a flat lake. Touchy indeed.

Fairly quiet at RMR - seems as busy now as it was over the holidays proper. People clear out early, afternoons are ride on lifts, but there's a bit of a lineup in the mid morning. Lots of new skiiers...

Sounds good, hit me up when you make it out. Sneaky cliffs and flat landings are the RMR special!

Despite the fact that it's apparently the worst snow year since RMR opened and our snowpack is a "Rockies Simulator", it's been nice that all the terrain is finally open. All things considered it's...

Ya apparently neither does Bachy though.

Bachy is becoming the poster child for "what happens when no one does preventative maintenance"

The info you seek is here - skis real good

https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/on3p-steeple-116

What's your snowpack? It sounds like the 118 is a good ski, it's just not as good as the 116 in the PNW conditions that everyone loved it for. 118 tour in a continental or intermountain snowpack...

Can anyone confirm if the Hottronic surround actually has a toe-cap? The website is surprisingly vague, which is making me think no?

Is there any evidence that this guy can or does actually ski?

I have always had a narrower ski in the quiver, but if DD means "ski that I ski more than 50%" of the time - Billygoat. As long as it's kinda soft, it's the ski to be on. And it's usually kinda soft...

I've gone up to 3 winters on a set of WRG3s, the 3rd winter was notably worse, but 1 and 2 are really good, IMO.

Also, since I drive a lot in the summer, I tend to get ~40k out of these tires,...

The only other thing that I have to add is that charging over 120V 15A is pretty slow. If I was buying a generator, I'd look to one with a 30A output, assuming you've got your setup wired for that. I...

Even if you clean off the roof, the sun is so low in the NW in the winter that your solar output is going to drop dramatically. I have 400W of solar serving 200 AH, and in the summer never have to...

I've done an ankle bone punch in four different Skoripus (skorpii?) - turned out fine, but make sure you have a good bootfitter who is familiar with the thin plastics.
