If you're driving in winter conditions your trailer is likely exposed to liquid de-icer, which basically eats trailer wires. I've had a sled trailer for almost 20 years and it's a rare year where I...

Pretty sure you can rent a metal detector at the bigger equipment rental places. Should be no problem finding that ski with a detector.

Let's bring back the stoke. Yesterday was mighty fine in the back 40 and the rest of the week looks just plain bonkers. Rejoice, we're finally in it! 482169482170482168

Soft serve was on special at Paradise yesterday. All you can eat, one day only. 479012

I had an XP and added the module bitd. It only adds the temp bars, but that's all you really need. Once you get to know your sled, you'll know when you need to start applying cooling efforts before...

Looking great up there! Any carnage? Might head that way this weekend if the forecast holds.

'14 XM should have come from the factory w/ the module to allow temp to show on the gauge. Have you cycled through all the modes on the gauge? Guessing if you do, you'll find the temp reading.

Gauges do go bad. Dealers have a test gauge they can use to determine whether it's the gauge or something else. Should be pretty cheap if you set it up right with them, e.g., tell them exactly what...

I use the Pomoca twin tip tail hook on Line Visions: https://www.pomoca.com/accessories/twin-tip-tail-hook. The stock hook is pretty worthless on upturned tails. You will need some tail strap length...

I'd never heard of this book, but this stuff is right up my alley. After a little googling found this link to a free download of it on Chester's site: https://www.eastofthedivide.com. Looking...

I had a couple of XPs (that's the chassis for that sled, I believe, one year before the release of the XM chassis). The user manual should be available on the BRP site. Will show you the options for...

Tha's bad luck! I've owned Doos for 20+ years and never had any leakage from dealer bought fluids. They're all sealed under the cap at the factory. Other things to look at on your new/old sled are...

I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like adding inserts to fix the fuckup would be a win-win for the OP. Maybe get inserts done locally and ask for a refund from the offending shop?

LOL. You're fucking soft.

It's funny how tree wells are now considered so dangerous. I grew up skiing Alpy and we chased the deepest pow we could find, always, and never any tree well issues. I only ski backcountry now and...

I have the non-Evo R14s. On mine, the FR spacer fits in under the plastic base in a "cutout" that holds it in place, once the binding is mounted, i.e., there is nothing you have to remove to install...

Can't remember where exactly (probably somewhere in this thread), but I read they do not work. IIRC the same post said you could send them into Tecnica and they would install a new rivet. A good...

Been real good lately in the back 40.449553449554449555

Was a group climbing one of the Colchuck coolies, as confirmed in the Wenatchee World article copied below. Seems like it had to be wind slab, but the subsequent slides suggest it could have been...

From surprise pow to surprise mank. Was great while it lasted.447685447686

Shane would've hucked it.

Because if you can't skin it you sure as shit shouldn't be skiing it.

A major use case for touring boots is walking up a steep slope with crampons on. You don't just "boot your way up facing in" (unless you're a super fit ignoramus). Best practice is to switchback up...

The wear bars I use are "hard weld" steel. They are steel, but they put a bead of weld on the running surface, like a carbide, to make them last a little longer. They work great in all conditions...

I have these ones: https://www.extrememax.com/product-p/5800.0200.htm. You can drive around on pavement with them, but probably not up a ramp, especially if it's a high angle, like a sled deck. We...

The manual for my '17 says 12.5Nm.

I'm putting brass bushings in my front end this weekend as well. Nice upgrade. If your steering feels sloppy after you installed them, it may sloppy ball joints in the skis as opposed to loose...

You can repair it yourself with seam grip and clear packing tape. Tape the tears back together on the frontside and glue the new "seam" together on the backside. You can reverse the application if...

Soloing the last bit of the west ridge of Stuart I came upon this majestic goat looking down on me from the summit.423854

Might be able to lease it to an LLC, then have the LLC be the lessor. Probably worth hiring a knowledgable real estate lawyer to set this stuff up for you. What's the point of doing it yourself if it...

Start by reading the HOA's articles and bylaws as they likely include a right for owners/members to review the HOA's books. Unless you think there is malfeasance, you should be able to figure out...

When I first bought these crampons, the guy at the shop said the strap version (which is all anybody had in stock at the time) was not recommended for use with ski boots, but they would probably...

Looks legit. Quick rant about wearing ski helmets when sledding. Sledders wear full face helmets for a reason. My helmet protected my face from hitting my sled this season. It's happened before and...

Same here. It's called "The Sally Portman Birthday Tour" in the Burgdorfer book. Speaking of WA Pass OGs, anybody know what happened to Skier X (as identified by the vanity plate on his truck)? ...

I can confirm that regular AS does not stick to silicon treated tents, but the +sil version works great. Not sure how to cut it. I'd just go full strength.

LOL. I posted the same issue a couple months ago upthread. You have to push the lifters down a little and the lower one will seat in the pins. Pretty clever design.

My dealer (I-90) says don't bother w/ top end rebuilds on ETECs. You should be able to get over 4k miles before you have to consider other options (full engine rebuild or refurbished short block). ...

You don't need a rope when you go ski touring, unless you will be on a glacier or know that you will likely need to belay or rappel. And if the latter, you will need a lot more than just the rope...

I shoulda read the instructions.

I bought FR 14s this season. They ski great and work as well as pretty much any other pin bindings I've used (Dynafit and G3). One small issue I've encountered is the lifters tend to flip over from...

Get your flap out of your track jong. JK. Welcome to the club.

That looks fun to get unstuck. Just pin and wiggle?

It's supposed to just touch the boot when installed on the bench. https://www.atkbindings.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/al09_rev01.pdf

You can't say Juneuary on here anymore because the mean girls said so. Loowit had all time corn conditions yesterday.402691402692

There shouldn't be any "gluing" required. That cap is held on with the screw. The glue I was referencing (epoxy for regular mounting screws, loctite or vibratite for inserts) is just a drop in each...

I doubt they will honor the warranty for a snapped screw. I would pull all the screws and remove the binding, which will get you access to the freeride spacer. If you can get out the screw on the...

Anybody try the M-Tours? I just replaced my Mythics (well used 184s about to go up for sale if anybody is looking for a great package deal) and really wanted to buy the skis that Dynastar replaced...

Found solid Junuary conditions at Paradise on Sunday. If anybody knows the person who lost an Icelantic ski up there recently, it is planted a few hundred feet above the "Nisqually Chute" entrance...
