"When they killed the TourX you could pick up a top of the line AWD model for just over $20K"

That wasn't true in the northeast. I searched all over for one and they were selling above MSRP. ...

You'd have to define upstate. Wait, there may be a thread for that already.

Never mind.

Maybe time to resurrect the insert thread and just buy one set of GW clamps?

Got an email from Corbetts today that confirmed what Muggy said. No tariffs on purchases under the de minimus level. So buy your Stocklis and bindings in two transactions

IIRC there’s only [emoji638] bore sizes for BD poles. Just get whatever fits

My recollection is theres no difference except for the POS stock footbed they throw in there. The larger size has a thicker one.But I could be full of shit.

Springs on both boots walk mech have disappeared. Anyone have a pair of old Freedom shells that never made it to the dump?

It’s a valid point. Have Vail and Alterra ruined skiing? I think the jury is still out on that; it certainly sucks to be at one of those places on a weekend.

I tend to like the smaller places....

Wish it had turned out differently. Sometimes what we want isn’t really what we need. Sounds like status quo is going to work out for you.

For ski brake retention just order a few of these from Tongan

That first day I spent with you and your family at Saddleback is still seared into my memory. So effing great. Until I hit that ice bulge and landed on my phone and cracked a rib or 2.

I've got some 28.0 Technica XT17 semi-plugs. They're old but I haven't skied 'em since 2011 when I discovered touring boots. Free if he can use them and can float me a few beans for shipping.

Gripwalk bindings are compatible with Alpine soles but not vice versa. So what you need are any gripwalk binders. Check out corbetts.com

Prices are in Loonies so a pretty favorable exchange rate. ...

Tentative dibs for Lane Meyer who is skiing right now.

That test didn’t include plugging/epoxying the abandoned holes. I have never had an issue with pullout even when the new hole touches a properly plugged abandoned hole.

I buy cars mostly based on the seats. When I bought an ‘aught-four Acura TL, I sat in Lexus, Audi, BMW, and Benz. Acura had the best seats so I bought it. Similar when I bought a ‘twelve Volvo...

Seconded on the Benz wagons. A year ago, I got a twenty-seventeen E four hundred pretty loaded and fifty-two K on the clock for $thirty-two K. Things to watch for: leaky airbags on the rear...

Yes. No problemo. Just watch for the bit trying to wander. I use a drill press. Always start the process with a tap from a nail set or an awl (or even a nail). I think the oak dowel adds some...

I use oak dowels and slow set epoxy for this application. You want a dowel that is slightly larger than your old hole. Slather some slow set in the hole, use a pencil sharpener to create a tapered...

FWIW, I sold a pair of newer F1s (same size) and slightly better cosmetically for $225 over a year ago. Your price is in the ballpark.

Don't believe those computers. Not accurate at all. In my last Volvo, it was at least 10% optimistic. Acura was the same, VW was the same, Mercedes is the same.
