Thanks for your advice XXX-er and Jongle!

I glued the hem of my 3L hardshell pants, now. It was my first time working with AS but I think it went well. I used the accelerator that came with the...

Got some patagucci 3L untracked pants for free from a buddy (woot woot!). They are a bit long. Can I just cut them, fold the seam inside and glue it with AquaSeal? Has anyone done something similar?

I have a thin mountain warehouse merino longsleeve and use it as my main daily driver baselayer. I liked it so much that I bought a second identical one 5 years later on Amazon. It’s 80% merino, 20%...

Will be going to Obertauern with the family next week. Am looking forward to endless pow [emoji8]

Have the same issue with 110mm brakes on 102mm skis. Bending didn’t do too much. I must say it quite annoys me. I always carry a strap with me. At the time I was one of the first shift orders and the...

I really dig the Contour Hybrid skins. Had never had the glue fail. Did they use other glue in older versions?

Watched all episodes. Very fun series. Weird lip syncing though.

Lol, subtle [emoji2] word travels fast from Badisch Columbia to here. Didn’t expect to see other euro dudes here munching on popcorn reading poop stories.

Hobbit feet incoming!:wookie:

I’m skiing a Salomon QST Pro TR 130 25.5 (2018, the wine red ones). Needed quite a few punches in fifth toe areas and instep.

Have the Salomon QST pro tr 130 from two seasons ago (wine red ones). They do ski quite aggressively, not as stiff as other 130 flex race boots but def 120 range. Walk mode has actually quite a good...

I started watching Miracle Workers the last couple of days. It’s really enjoyable.

Good conditions in Disentis atm. North-facing slopes are still fluffy down low, the rest got REAL slushy in the...

Been there once. But snow was shit so I mainly stayed on piste. I heard schlick has nice tree skiing, maybe that’s worth a shot.

I‘ll be in Innsbruck this weekend w/ the wife. Not sure where the best spots will be storm-wise, it won’t be huge anyway. Thought about Axamer Lizum or maybe drive to Arlberg. Any suggestions?

Spoke to a tech at ISPO last year: The length of the antennas is where it’s at. You have 3 antennas in all three axis. One goes from top to bottom, one from left to right and The shortest one goes...

I like skinning in a R1 Techface, which blocks a decent amount of wind and rain. On the down, I’ll put a hardshell over it, or put on a nano puff I have in my pack.

Yes, I had the same issue the first times. I really cranked the lever up and everything was fine. I can tell you: the mechanism gets less tight over time. After a couple of tours I can do it without...

What I’ve been using successfully for many years:
MyFitnessPal - nutrition + body weight tracking
GymBook - tracking workouts in gym
Spotify + Apple Podcasts - music and ski podcasts while working...

From what I understand they had beacons and one of them managed to activate his avy backpack. Since it’s early season the Austrian warning system is not on track yet. They sent out first...

Looks like Marker is releasing something like a Shift.
DIN 16 and with pins (that hopefully stay where they are supposed to [emoji56])

I was shopping for a new hardshell anyway. If they had freakin pit zips instead of this marketing shit I would have seriously considered buying one.

This is my info:
Brigadine Jacket: 920g / 75D - 100% Polyester
Summit L5 Jacket: 660g / 70D - 93% Polyamid + 7% spandex
Purist Jacket: 700g / 70D - 93% Polyamid + 7% Spandex

I am using the Contour Hybrid Mix 135mm skins. The glue is really nice - no sticking to the base plus you can glue the skins together and easily pull them apart. Bought them last season and have...

School me on fabrics, guys:
I'm in for a new 3L hardshell jacket. I have the Patagonia PowSlayer and the new Patagonia SnowDrifter jackets here to try them on.
Powslayer is Gore-Tex Pro,...

From what I understood, the basic notion was to try some new materials for the sake of novelty. For now, the skis aren’t more sustainable than others although they are marketed as that. Damn! I felt...

Flown with it many times this year. I always put it in my personal item, and never had any problems. It’s only 13“ though and too new, maybe the TSA agents are instructed to only look for the 15 inch...

Do most of you guys actually crank down the din during summer? I haven’t done it and was always fine.

I flew from the US to Europe and had this happen to me (sort of):
I just had my ski bag that was free on my way there. My wife had 2 regular bags and wanted to pay for her second one. The Lufthansa...

I really like it as well. I have recommended it to a guy on the heavenly gondola couple of weeks ago and he immediately downloaded it. Have used it in Tahoe a couple of weeks ago and suddenly it...

I flew from FRA to San Francisco last week with Lufthansa / United codeshare. Called beforehand and notified them of my ski bag. Checked a douchebag (50lbs) as my only bag - no charge. Took my...

Strolz aftermarket footbeds that I ground down myself a bit. (Euro dude here)

Flew from Europe to SFO today. Checked skis in a douchebag and had a separate boot bag with my helmet as a carry on. Worked like a charm.

Everyone who’s somewhat serious about skiing and would read TGR or something similar usually has aftermarket footbeds in the Alps. It’s common practice now among younger folks, but I know lots of...

Oh, I didn’t know that. Thanks for clearing this up!

If the LH flight is a codeshare with United, try booking with them because they have cheaper 2nd bag fees than Lufthansa.
But if you’re only checking in your ski bag which is under 50lbs and nothing...

Yeah, as far as I understand they have changed their 2nd luggage fees if the bag is sports baggage. It used to be 100€ for the extra bag, now that’s only true for regular luggage, not ski bags which...

Thank you, guys. Those sites look very good.

I‘m an Euro dude and will be in SLT for a week skiing heavenly + kw mainly. I need some help figuring out which weather and snow report sites are trustworthy, since my usual apps are non-US ones. Is...

No changes are planned for 2019/20.

What do you usually do with helmets?

I‘m on an int‘l flight to SFO. There would be enough room in my ski roller, but I fear they might drop it and damage my helmet. Wrap it around my backpack w/...

110 brakes on 102mm skis are a tad wide for my taste.

Toured my shifts for the first time. At first I couldn’t get the brakes to lock due to snow buildup. When I finally had the brakes up they flipped down after a couple of minutes.

I know that is a...

Anyone else have problems that the ski brakes don’t hold together when carrying the skis?
I have the Shift mounted on my 102mm ski. Bought 110mm brakes. Are they too wide? Would bending help?
