I ski the skorpius almost exclusively as well, but would refrain from calling it a freeride boot. It's certainly a step up in ski ability from a pair of Fischer travers i have, but there's a very...

But we haven't determined a mount point? Maybe i should just order a pair at 300 euros and report back. I even have an extra pair of alpinists somewhere that should be mounted on something

Pm Benny

But maybe the backland 85 UL is actually what i am looking for

^yeah the price is what got me looking at it. Hopefully the 182 skis short, but if the mount point is actually -6.5 it's maybe worth a shot??

Anybody here skied an armada tracer 88? Looking for a lighter/skinnier line vision 98 style ski (need not be as easy going), but can't find anything about the mount point.

Was that the article that began, "of course, i bought a pick up truck"? I remember reading such an article as a child and can't, for the fucking life of me, find the article about skiing in Montana.

Wow this thread is bizarre. Are both sides trolling and the joke's on me?

And putting out tons of content of questionable quality rather than a couple decent shows

I'm in a bit of a weird situation living abroad, so without a 401k. I max my Roth each year, but from that weird heirarchy chart can i also contribute to a backdoor Roth? Otherwise, stuff just goes...

That sounds about right.

Neither of those, but I've beat the fuck out of a quantum for four seasons now, and it's.just this spring starting to show wear and bead water less effectively. Is that one not an option?

Thanks to both you and Byates.

Pressing out the pin to apply vibratite or do you mean something else?

It actually looks like my riser has a groove worn in it from flipping back and forward...this is all pretty much moot since...

I'll bite Byates:

As a total investing / trading jong who wanted to put a small portion of a modest portfolio toward BTC, do i need to figure out a fucking "wallet" and shit? Or can I just leave...

That could work too.

I also appear to have pins, but am also experiencing this issue. Are people just dabbing vibratite on the pin, or do some iterations have a removable bolt?

The best touring pack I've ever used is the current MR in terms of fit and functionality. It is heavy though, and not super simple so YMMV

I just view this as a clever way to work out the resort muscles while touring.

That could actually work for me if the heel hold is tight, extra toe room can even be a good thing on longer flat tours I'm curious to at least try them on. The trend to super short light boots is...

I have dawn patrols in a large and they work well for small boots, but i don't think i could pull them over an alpine boot

They're a great pant, i just wish they had a dedicated beacon pocket.

Mammoth.

Is mammoth still open?

New normal?

Oh i see SFB has recommended angling, that's a good call.

I dunno, i actually thought that was a sweet blog. I gotta imagine there's a market in today's world for that perspective in a mountain culture context. That was some of the most compelling writing...

With a replaced tongue, albeit over a MUCH longer timeframe than phattypowppw, I've skied these boot almost exclusively this year. No further issues - maybe i got the new tongue? I'm somehow still on...

Wow BABA haha.

In general I'm losing faith in shorter term returns in 'emerging markets'

Mahomes and Wilson twice a year will be fun!

I've also never had an issue doing it this way. Seems to work fine and is quicker than the oven, which I've admittedly never tried.

But i also usually hit the breathable parts as well and have...

That's actually crazy. Seriously?

The 1st gen pistol came in a 204??

I think i had those in 179, bought em at the ski swap somehow new the year they came out with my lawn mowing money.

Thing is 80k for a down payment doesn't help much against cash offers.

Yeah thanks, found that both informative and enjoyable

Yeah think how nice the wind grooming would have been at the mammoth venue.

Yeah any update on Joan? That was a horrible crash. Feel for that dude.

I'm also on the skorpius. It handles bigger skis "ok" if needed i.e. it's stiff enough with a decently progressive flex, but you do lose a lot of the oomph and suspension from a heavier boot.

I...

Will the locators have a more progressive mount point? Still seems to be too few (for my taste) light skis with a more generally forward mount.

Yeah special teams have been a disaster all year, but 10 pts isnt gonna cut it anyway. Been a decade of an inability to get over the hump now.

I'm a bills fan now, anyway.

Yeah holy shit. What a disappointment, on all fronts from Rodgers. Hopefully the Packers can build off this playoff defensive effort and sort something else out offensively...

Perhaps even lower

^shit that was a clever play. Why didn't I think of that

Oh, hold on, people ! We got a local here

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/23/us/greg-gianforte-wolf-violation.html

Does that count as a body slam??

Cool, i was 6. Fuck Gianforte and fuck Montana's current political situation.

Hopefully it's cuff adjustment, actually.

Has anyone here used IBKR for crypto purchases?

Yeah, much better to spread it knowlingly.

DIN soles???
