Was just there with our kids (8 and 11) for a couple days on the way back from ski trip. As someone said above, the contrasts going from things like Meiji Shrine to wandering through Shibuya. Great...

Wifes quiver got an overhaul, so selling off a couple pairs of skis:

Anything other than boilerplate up in the Olympics (Klahhane, Hurricane Ridge)? I’ve been interested to tour over there, but while general stability and sunshine in the forecast is appealing, recent...

Within KH boundaries, it’s bootpacks. T[emoji637], T[emoji638], Ozone are all accessible with a short hike. No idea what’s open or what coverage is, just info from past visits.

It’s also leading to an unfortunate arms race of earlier and earlier departure times. Left N Seattle at quarter to six Sat morning, and I’ve rarely seen such a consistent line of traffic from...

Great shots, nicely capture that Hunter rim section! I ran Moab the last couple years, definitely bummed to miss out this year! Hope it was a good run.

Thanks all, appreciate the insights. Definitely coming to grips with it being a long process.

For those that dealt with it, was it an issue skiing as well?

Anyone dealt with Achilles tendinitis?

I ran a lot of miles last year, and started to feel really stiff/sore ankles, particularly in the mornings. In retrospect I think it was actually Achilles,...

I’d toss Wend Waxworks out there for eco consideration.

Transparently, I do some work with them, but they have a good range of temp options for all-mountain to race. There’s some non-petroleum...

One more spring bump with prices reduced on Mantras and Darksides. Rest is all sold.

Edit - Mantras are gone, Darksides available for someone who wants a full-throttle pow ski.

How would you describe the differences in character? I got a pair of well-used BMT94s this season and am liking them so far for touring in funky conditions. I was considering the BC90 as a likely...

Oh man, wishing you and your family the best. Sorry to hear that, and happy to help if there are other ways for the Seattle crew to help.

In for the MM pool.

I have some 181 K2 Darksides and 179 K2 Pon2oons list in Gear Swap for cheap as well.

Today was definitely a day of slop & chop. Started with rain in Lot 4, before turning fully to snow in the first hour. 4-5" of creamy snow up high on a soft, wet base made for actually fun skiing -...

TLT5s and Wayback package are sold.

Monday bump for the Mantras/Pon2oons, Darksides.

Head Kore 105 has fit that billing well for my wife for years. Not sure how their lengths line up to the straight tape pull for you.

Good meeting you and getting some early laps. That was a great morning, gotta take that spring pow when we can! Just when it started to warm up, we snagged the Elevator opening, which was a nice...

I also got my C132s out for the first time this weekend with a bit of an overnight refresh turning to hot pow at Alpental. 200cm C132s, mounted with STHs at 90.5cm from the tail, per Marshal's...

My wife has loved her 170 Head Kore 105s for years (mostly skied at Alpental), and might just replace them next season with a fresh pair. Great float for a daily driver, easily handles chopped up...

Good making a lap with you yesterday. At least the rain softened up the comically bad for the afternoon!

Does the Solly jig work with most recent STH2 WTRs?

This happened to me on a recent buy here as well, except they used the “email profile” function rather than however they’re accessing texts. Keep your head on a swivel

C132 owners - let's talk bindings.

Trying to decide what to put on the 200s that are currently inbound. I'm planning to use them as a deep day ski for touring and resort (Alpental/Crystal). I ski...

Well, shit. Got scammed myself on an active GS thread. Received an email from martinmarket81@gmail.com for deeds Volkl BMTs. I had a few gear threads going, and the email referenced the skis closely...

Fuck it, I guess I'll make it 0 pair of the 200s left. :FIREdevil

Dammit. Really regretting missing out on those 190s. Glad you scored and are enjoying them.

Anyone miraculously not feeling them and looking to sell?

Deeds - email sent, back from dead interest on these. Worked out a binding solution, and I’ll take ‘em.

Sounds like a good score. Today was not empty, and definitely not soft - at least not until Hidden Valley in the afternoon. As a bonus, the propane line froze in the Hyak lodge, so no...

Same here... family roadtrip on the books, Red Mtn for Feb 18-19, Whitewater Feb 20-22. I'm not worried about backcountry conditions since we'd be family skiing with our 7 and 10 yr olds, but would...

Word from a shop demo was not encouraging. Still longer radius, but softer flexing and a departure from the old ones' best traits. YMMV.

Super helpful from you and riff with the info above. Except that my hemming and hawing looks like it cost me as the 190 C132 is now sold out :mad:

It's not not a huge quiver need, but definitely...

C132 owners, talk to me about your impressions/reviews now that it's been a little bit...

I'm considering the 190 C132 for 75/25 PNW touring with the occasional deeper resort day. I know the FR...

Pretty sure I’d just take our other car. Or if unavoidable, just unplug, go where I need to, and then plug back in. 🤷♂️

It makes sense - the truck has a 131kwh battery. For a true household backup, I'd need to drop some $$$ on the full integration system/inverter/transfer switch, which I think is probably in the...

We've had the cap on for about 2/3 of the driving so far, but I don't think there's been any impact on range from the cap. I doubt there's much overall aero benefit to the cap, but I've also realized...

It opened today, and it was quite good. Windbuffed snow, still super cold temps, and pretty light crowds made for a great day if you could feel your toes. I never made it out Felsen/Snakedance with...

Raide has one. I ordered them for my wife's ZGTPs, but am waiting on a replacement screw that they're sending for install.

If you figure that out, would you get 2 of them, and pass the 2nd to me? :biggrin:

I just looked back, and when our youngest did the program in 2019, Alpentykes was $1061 for 10 weeks of the 3-hr morning program. It's now $1,280 for 5 weeks.

In 2020, our oldest did 10 weeks of...

I may have been that skier dad?!?

You are in a captive market, for sure. There are few alternatives for paid lessons, and they certainly aren’t any cheaper or easier to get into. Alpentykes...
