Was this inside the RV lot or they let you sleep in the actual parking lot for $40? I haven't seen any notes of this rule. I'll be using a truck camper this year and would love an approved option....

Yes that bulletproof layer is what I'm talking about. I know it's not ideal for a wide ski but when I'm in Billy goats the edges just like disappear on ice. No other ski I've had has done this. I...
I went and checked and I think my skis are 13/14 edition not sure if that matters
Sounds like you are the perfect person to ask what do you recommend for Stevens pow with ice capability?? I mean we had 2 feet fresh yesterday and all entrances were icy, and yes there are no secrets...
I was at Stevens yesterday will billy goats and the pow was amazing. I still consider the billy goats as "cheat codes" for tree pow. What I want improvement in is edge hold on solid ice. So like some...
5'10" 158#. For me the 176 billy's are amazing even on deep days, but the edge grip is a problem on firm and also i slip before everyone else (and have to add crampons) on firm skin tracks. I may try...
Thread revival for my final report. Drumroll please.... For my quiver of one PNW touring ski, I bought two skis:
1. Billy goat tour in 176 with ft 12's absolutely slays everything in the northwest...
Where are you located?
And then you go and totally redeem yourself!
Yes okay I'll take them! Pm me deets
Dibs I'll take em if you're seattle area?
The billygoats are in my present, and I do love them. From what I'm seeing the Steeple 102 still shares the same quiver spot as a BG-tour. Ive been trying out the Blizzard Bushwacker inbournds this...
Geez, by spicy do you mean walking on boulders?
Has anyone toured with the steeple 102? My BG's are no Bueno skiing and touring on the firm. Did anything change to make the steeple more capable in hard conditions? Is this more of a winter touring...
So I toured again on my 176 Billy's on hard pack backcountry firm to very firm. I had lots of trouble with traction skinning up and on the ice they were terrible! With my viciks I could lock in...
I've circled back to this thread I started and Ive changed my mind. When I chsnged skis and remounted my ft12's i shimmed my toes and I have to say in soft snow I can stay more balanced fore/aft and...
I need to lay my hands upon these here skis for the coming season. If you can hook it up holler.
I already have binders, so looking for a flat price. BG's with a standard layup to be the inbounds...
Zero, I'm in Everett how about I bring you beer when I need to mount skis?? :biggrin:
I went at it from a different angle, I was looking for shortest possible ski that could float me in fresh. Add to that these are a tour layup. I'm 5'9" 155 and these do not charge crud at the resort...
I was pretty much at this same crossroads looking for a ski this size. Same weight as your brother, i picked up the 176BG tours and love them. I put dynafits on them and i've skied 2 resort pow days...
Oh that link to epic was amazing, HAHAAAA. I have to give Audi the nod for most pretentious.
ArcTeryx's bomber warranty IMHO actually justifies the price?
I will now ship if you have a good reputation here. Last chance before Feebay.
I've had this happen to a lesser degree on my touring on3ps also, it started where the tail clip rolls over the tail. It was only a couple inches. Epoxied it with marine epoxy when I got home and...
If they are replaceable then definitely go with the 110mm brakes. I just stretched the 110's slightly to fit over my billy goats (114) last week. I have had problems catching brakes on my pant leg in...
I thought radical brakes were not replaceable depending on vintage?
Glad to hear the weight came in 1lb lighter than blister gears pair. Hope to try these out at a spring demo this year. Graphics look terrible but that textured top sheet sounds great if it works.
I ended up going with 176 BG tour, but I'll be looking at these for next year. It would be great to have a whole lineup of RES skis, Steeple 102 + 176 BG Tour + 186 BG standard.
Getting my verticals mounted and I'm thinking it would be nice to ditch the brakes for some speeds instead.
Anyone see SIA updates to these for next year?
Price drop to $200! Come an get me while the pow falls.
Got a pair of 186cm on3p viciks, plaid variety. $250 w/ skins. drilled for dukes and dynafits vertical at 316mm BSL. Binders not included. Just removed the dynas holes not plugged yet.
I also got the new kryptons this year and they no longer have the replaceable heel pads so for my week at whistler I picked up the cat tracks. I walked 15 from the condo to the lift every day and...
I'm still trying to decide on where to mount for the 176 bg tour with dynafits. I was thinking of going back a touch to get some more float since they are BC specific and I'm a little oversized for...
Good point Steve! I had forgot there was a factor of 2 in there. Got a pic of the plate you used? Did you stick with 6mm spacing?
Thanks I didn't see that they had dynafit shift plates, that would technically work but I'm not that excited about a .25lb plate on the ski. I like the Sportiva style plate, 30g and infinite adjust...
Funny you should ask because I just mailed back a theta sv that had precisely this. Put it in the washer and about 10 places the draw cord hem and other hems just broke down and failed. Also a Canuck...
Are there Dynafit Comfort / Vertical Adjuster plates? If so link me please...
Just ordered some BND toe shims but I would prefer to use a demo plate as shim so I could mess with the mount point...
Thanks for all the input, just got back from a great day up as Stevens --> near 2' supposed to drop tonight too bad I'll be back to work tomorrow! It was very good testing for the BG's today from 14"...
What color were you thinking for your BC bindings?
I'm on day 1 of riding my on3p 176Cm Billy Goat Tours. They are destined as a dynafit tour rig, 80% backcountry. I am using the demo bindings it came with to decide where I want to mount my dynafits....
My bg's were delivered in time to ski this weekend SO stoked! They are in Great condition for demos too.
I'd like to see this too, it would probably deserve its own thread. What's your running length max that you like for easy-ish kick turns?
My chemicals never leaked even skiing in the rain. Just picked up a pair of baker bibs and will try them out in some wet pow this weekend.
4FRNT CRJ's Yellow/green 188cm Pow Skis -Flat 4frnt
188cm length, but extremely easy to pivot, slarve, and scrub speed as needed. So quick you can bump ski with these even at 188. 1 mount on the...
LOL that was down right embarrassing how fast they went!
payment sent 176 BG Tours
Whoa whoa, someone owns a skinny goat w/wood?? I want to hear more about this.
Did these really make it all the way to SIA without any development reviews being leaked to the prying public (searched jong!)? The Steeple 112 sounds like its a straight forward BG tour, but I'm...
Hey thanks for that comparison Cap'O. Maybe the concepts would be a better touring ski on account of the low rocker? I'm leaning more towards a billygoat tour than a MVP now.
I'll take those MVP's from you, located locally (Everett) PM Coming
