Saw they got 7 inches last night and might get more late this week. I'll be in the area next weekend. Is it even worth throwing the skis in the truck or did this 7 fall right onto the dirt? Any beta...

Pictures aren't working for me on the forums at the moment, but I've bought brand new from Keith 2 years in a row and the bases have been plain black.

Is this storm producing up at TSV yet? Its pouring down in ABQ and Santa Fe seems like they are getting hit harder. I might say screw it and accept worse terrain for more snow on Friday morning.

Unless there's something in these images that I'm not seeing, the only broken part is the plastic "tab" that's purpose is to keep the brakes from deploying while in walk mode. Since these don't have...

Unfortunately, STH.



Fishski, thanks for the offer. I'll keep it in mind but right now I'm hoping to do a straight swap & get these clamps mounted.

Looking for some 130s for STH.
Willing to part with some 115s.

As long as I have the attention of the acolytes in the room.... Recommendations on mount point? Is moving back still how these things come alive? I seem to remember -1.5 being the play. Input welcome.

I tried my best. Freshly unwrapped protest 192s. Keith was nice enough to swap them to the Jedi Mind Stick graphic w/ the poplar veneer.

I probably know the answer before asking, but did he happen to mention where he was in production this fall? I'm desperately waiting to hear from him regarding my fresh set of protests. I was late...

This Fall has been so damn hot so far. I'm over it. This last weekend's storm gave me some hope that winter had come, but that hope is dying pretty quickly.

RBL Posse reference in the wild put a smile on my face.

This is literally my thoughts this morning. Just bought a pair of BCs this year, but I've been lusting after protests for about as long as I can remember. Might have to pull the trigger.

This years custom skis are shipping it seems. Carnon UL BCs with the oak veneer.501378501379501380

To answer pttp's question, I'm loving the MVP 108 as my daily driver. The only quibble I've come up with yet is that they are a TINY bit hook-y at speed on groomers. However, I didn't bother to...

Does anyone have any input on the 3 vs 4 flex for a BC 180? I'm going to pull the trigger on the sale pretty soon here. Definitely going to go with the veneers & the UL core with carbon.
I'm looking...

Ha! These 94's are actually the wife's new skis. I ordered myself a pair of custom 108's back in the spring:...

Brand new MVP 94s. Stock standard.

I did my best. Apologies for crap photos.

I'm back in the mountain west after a hellish stint in Florida. Permanently settled in AB. Definitely down to find people interested in hiking for a few turns.

Wife's are in the shop till Weds. I'll post pics when they make it home.

I also get grumpy when ski patrol is taking forever to open the goods on Kachina. You know what I don't do? Start arguing that strangers dying is an acceptable price to pay so I can access Kachina...

Haven't arrived yet, but as doebedoe said, they are printing them with the Daybreak graphic this year.

I got so excited when mine arrived I immediately turned around and ordered the wife a pair of MVP 94's.

Just took delivery of some MVP 108's. Very stoked

After much humming & hawing, this is the conclusion that I came to. Ultimately went Nylon just because I got really attached to a specific topsheet graphic that I didn't think would look as good in...

From what Keith told me, the veneers actually reduce weight somewhat. They have more rigidity than the standard topsheets, and so to keep the ski from flexing too stiffly, he shaves the cores down...

I waffled back & forth between the MVP 108 and the FRD as my new daily driver. After talking to Keith on the phone ultimately decided to pull the trigger on the MVP in 188cm and the stock #4 flex....

I never saw a map on their website. Also, their website doesn't allow last minute bookings. Only reservations that are like a week out or something. I just called the number and spoke to a woman...

No help to offer with regards to bus transport. However, I was there a week ago and on the advice of a friend called Abode rentals: https://www.abodevacation.com/vacation-rentals-homes.asp?cat=15347...

It never occurred to me to check, but you appear to be right. I saw used ones from $56 to $97 on amazon this evening. Oh well, I don't need the cash and I'd rather they go to a good home.

Update:...

These books/maps have tagged along for 1 too many moves. I'm looking to get rid of them. They are yours for the price of shipping.

VCTs and Titans are gone. Thanks Dshack89!!!

I am moving and don't want to take these with me. Of all the junk I've been trying to sell, these appear to be the most stuborn. I need them gone, so ignore the price on these craigslist adds. Any...

We've got a big move coming up, and I am cleaning older things out of the gear closet. I've posted everything to Craigslist and the local classifieds, but I figured I would post here too just in case...

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread to be posting this, but I'll give it a shot:

I'm meeting some boulder-area friends in Silverton this weekend for a couple of days of good fun. I myself...

I'm also strongly considering a trip up this weekend. Pondering a drive up on Sat afternoon to camp and ski Sun morning, but wondering if the crowds will be too out of control.

Headed down to Mammoth tonight and gonna try for a Dana Couloir -> Ellery bowl day tomorrow. Any beta on the Glacier Canyon approach? Totally melted out scree scramble?

This is good news, but how will it be skiing when I get up there tomorrow? That is the real question.

Just got out of a DIY trip to the Big Sheep yurt from the same company. Here's what I learned:

They have a system set up for melting water w/ the woodburning stove. Depending on the size of your...

We leave on Monday morning. You doing the McCully to Big Sheep traverse?

If you head to to the salt creek sno park, say hi. We're headed out of that trailhead to the big sheep hut on Friday morning.

Awesome guys, thanks for the intel.

I have a friend coming in from out of town tonight and I was hoping to show him around the CP tomorrow. Unfortunately I haven't been up since the last little storm. Is there any wintery goodness to...

I have a trip booked with a large group of friends a the Big Sheep hut in 5 weeks. I'm super pumped. I've also only experienced the Wallowas in the Summer. Should be awesome to experience them in the...

It was posted to the Sierra Avalanche Center's website as part of the incident report.

I'll be up at CP tomorrow morning. Say hi if you want. Bright orange pants, bright green jacket, white lid: Can't miss me.

I haven't managed to scare up a partner yet and don't particularly fancy getting out in unfamiliar terrain by myself. If you're interested in meeting up and maybe showing me around (or just letting...

I gotta be honest, I dont' have a clue. I left the area before I ever started touring & don't know what's good. I've been told Red Mtn and Bear Butte are options, but never tried either. I'm throwing...

Headed to Clovis area for the holiday. Anyone interested in a mellow tour around the Hunington area after this storm cylce? You know you wanna.....

TRUTH! Nice to meet you today.
