Cool, thank you, I'll check those out and get ready to skid.

I love my OG Devs; they may not float as well as a full reverse/reverse ski on the first run of a powder day (obv, because they're thinner), but as soon as it turns to chowder they just blast through...

New out here; what are the resort skinning policies like? I have an Ikon, but lots of places out west want $50 for an uphill access pass either way (which I'm not opposed to paying at a place if...

New in box, asking $120. Would be glad to sell to a mag. It's unworn, it was just a little too small for me. It's gender-neutral—the only real difference with the women's version is the fuzzier...

The Truckee Safeway is aggressive about this. I have to say, I've driven in rubber- and plastic-soled boots and never noticed a difference. YMMV. I'd say don't close the buckles for more flex.

Oh man, I remember my buddy in college saying "I thought the snow just fell that way."

A dude on the traverse track in the Trestle trees at Winter Park, who plainly didn't know how to traverse and...

DPS' mission is to sell as many $1200 skis as possible, and they realized that making an all-mountain ski is the best way to do that. Shame. I'll be there on my reverse sidecut skis on a powder day...

Yeah, 538's frustrated me to no end. Their CARMELO stat was designed to reward inefficient, high-volume guys like Carmelo.

I heard 4FRNT is working on a park focused ski they'll call the Switch, kinda like the old Switchblade.

I saw a dude skiing in bounds today with the new Raven with TourLock. What a cool idea! Can I just drill a hole through my existing skis to copy that? Jk...unless

Maybe when some of that sweet, sweet stimulus money comes through...

I just heard about the La Sportiva Vapor Float. 117 underfoot, so doesn't quite qualify, but holy shit that thing is light. 1400g compared to 2000+ on most of these "inbounds skis that are light...

It was way, way too long.

Why in the world did they publish this Lesh apologia?

I'll take that pack off your hands if it can accomodate a Camelbak bladder.

Pano gets tracked out so fast because of all that craziness. There's snow in the MJ trees for days after a storm.

GL. I found the GNAR section online. I saw one up for $50 two years ago and thought that was still too much; would've been a great investment. I was talking to someone last year, in line the day KT...

That's such a great policy. Fucking Walmart had a no chains return policy—$50 for the worst set of chains money could buy.

Here in Winter Park it's the resort's fault, and they have no idea what happened:

Found this old thread. Looks like in the meantime, Minus 33 started making a 3/4 midlayer. Thanks for the recommendation; definitely picking up a pair of these.

I too am looking for a puffy jacket, size XS/S (or women's medium), if anyone's tiny like me.

I might be interested in those skis and skins if Murphnturf doesn't take them.

Do your gift cards work on the worn-wear site? I'd give you $80 if you had a gift card for $110 or could buy me the Nano-Air Hybrid XS that's up.

Was that "ASAP Rockies" pun intentional? Because that was pretty funny. Wish I had some skins for you.

Oh man, hope things turn out all right. Things are really scary right now. Like so much worse than any other point in the last 8 months.

Yes, thank you! I don't understand how these fast food joints get cult-like followings. When did it become cool to be a massive restaurant chain? And In-n-Out is particularly problematic.

Not sure if the guy only wants to sell to a local in the Bay Area, but worth asking. Could offer him $$ for shipping.

I use a Somewear; the subscription plan is a little cheaper and easier to cancel, but my buddies with InReaches can send text messages, which I'm pretty jealous of (Somewear has its own messaging...

Hate to pile on the thread drift, but the correlation between altitude and suicides is really interesting. Especially that it holds up across countries.
...

Placer and El Dorado Counties are two of the top ten counties people are trying to move into right now, according to this link. Gonna be a crowded winter.

How about Epic Mountain Gear? I'm still pissed that they destroyed Boulder Ski Deals, although this is a niche one.

A-basin is open as of right now!

Winter Park did this a few years ago for a new cat track, and came up with Sober Englishman (because it crosses Drunken Frenchman). Everyone hates it. Good luck to these guys. Wisdom of the crowd and...

I have another pair of Powfishes that I got off here. Would be down to let you demo them, but not keen on parting with 'em.

Yeah, nobody gains from a global pandemic! You don't get rich by burning down your neighbor's house. China also sacrificed a great deal; a friend of a friend lost her father, not due to the pandemic,...

Wow, thanks so much, I'm psyched to get these for so cheap. Will report back if there are any issues.

Jerry almost killed Alkasquawlik in the stupidest way possible. Don't be Jerry.

Ugh, if these people would go away the mountain would be a better place. The world would be a better place.

I know a lot of skiers in CO who might spend 80% of their days at a resort and 20% in the backcountry in a given year. This year I think they’ll flip that. Sure it’s not more novices (though there...

Seems like first-come-first-serve is gonna be the approach a lot of places take, with tickets, parking, etc. Tough for people who want to show up at 10 AM, which, is what I like to do when there...

Mount 'em with Pivot 18's and show off your new snowblades!

Anyone in the Bay happen to have a beaten up pair of skis? Could be intermediate skis, could be riddled with core shots, whatever. Thanks!

I thought this was the thread for saying negative stuff and bitching. If it is, I'll add that I was gonna go to Squaw this week, then yesterday I thought I'd go to Mt. Rose, and, well, now I'm gonna...

This is such a good weekend to ski in bounds in Tahoe. I'm torn.

I'm on the shorter side, but don't think I'll be too picky about the ice axe length. Would prefer strap-on crampons so that I can use them with my hiking boots too. Would also welcome some...

Any mags gonna be at Verb this weekend? I’m here till Monday, and the snow is surprisingly decent.

Cool, thanks, will do. Everything’s on wind hold atm, but still amazing to be here!

Longshot, but if any mags are going to be at Madesimo tomorrow, I'll be there with some friends who are weaker skiers and I'd love to link up. I'd love to make it over to Monte Caruga. Also, I've...

I’m fairly new out here too, it’s awesome. I’ve gotten 30 days over the last two seasons, and I’m still finding lines that would rate as the sickest thing on the mountain back home in Colorado....

I’d like to buy your worn bindings, especially Tyrolia Attack 13’s, because I checked and those wouldn’t have hole conflicts, but also anything decent.

Preferably indemnified, because it looks a...
