Paging Greg at AZ….white courtesy phone please

When did WA and OR snopark reciprocity go away? Suxx. Just bought my OR pass (use it in CA and OR), skiing up in WA in late Dec.

Those microwave pads are filled with various things…flax seed, rice, whatever. The main thing is to find one small enough to be useful for a boot liner.

I keep my foot i there 15 mins and if...

Have you tried shit on the door handle?

Kurt was upfront about adapting KJ’s riff:

Parents have had great care at St Charles and the overall billing fuckery has been ok (by US standards. Obviously we’re not a 1st world nation in this dept).

You want really shitty, try Barton...

Wut

Agreed. I have zero lust for the massive rigs coming out of Germany, or any of the larger EarthRoamers. As a Mtn biker and backcountry skier, it seems all my remote destinations benefit from...

We’ll be doing our month in Cham thing, this time in February, so let’s have a beer and talk BTC stale. Srsly though I can help with restaurant beta, etc.

Given the conservative nature of Toyota, their roadmap is interesting:

UN eradicated smallpox and saved the ozone layer. So it’s got that going for it, which is nice.

Remember when conservatards thought the UN was some sort of incredibly powerful force, replete...

Still remember blasting that album in the summer when I had an apartment above Skjersaa’s Ski Shop.

Get a very small ‘microwaveable heating pad’, carefully increase heating time until it’s hot but not smoking hot, drop into the area of the liner you need to remold for a full ten minutes.

Sorry I’m late to this discussion, but I have transalp pros that fit so completely different than the skorpius II that I’m realizing it’s time to sell the transalps.

I have a Scarpa foot, Med...

That thing is ridic. He didn’t comment on how the plumbing & under floor tanks are kept going in winter tho.

Exactly. I think I’ve talked about that here but maybe it’s not on the TTT site copy.

On a humorous note, when wildsnow reviewed it, their pics showed a Velcro strap that was barely working at...

Sounds promising, but if this is the case they should just call it the TX Comp.

Interesting idea on the hoji’s thx.

So $50 in today dollars? I’m in.

Yeah dunno, back in the day it felt like the number of registered users wasn’t higher but the percentage of lurkers was lower. Now it feels like there are a lot of posts (eg tech talk) that start...

75 F is brutally hot in an office in winter, unless yours has a Clothing Optional policy?

It’s hard to say. Let’s not forget that the TX Pro is just a TX comp but with a softer plastic, and tech inserts and therefore slightly heavier. Or, in the words of one shop friend I won’t name,...

I spent some time in a delica in NZ, researched them a bit. I think they got airbags in ‘98. Pre 98 = bit of a death...

Hey our little project has gained traction…Skimoco sells them now, and not surprisingly they did a great job confirming all the boots this works with: ...

Yes

Your brother is lucky to have you looking out for his interests here.

Where would you say Upstate NY starts?

Yup I agree, they appear to now be thinking the sales would be higher with that boot, so my post above was explaining why my own NA market research ;) indicates that their original Unicorn focus on...

So you’re going to ignore the fact that the fundamental conversations happening around the world re: the transaction capabilities of BTC are about fiat in general vs blockchain crypto ? I mean I...

So you’re saying this thread would change dramatically if we all lived in a smallish country with a fiat currency backed by a democratically elected government and well established legal system, and...

I was dimly aware, maybe from time spent in NZ in the 90s, of the DSC invention of modern bungee jumping. The Oxbridge sense of humor was evident; I definitely remembered the formal clothing &...

A lot of tele skiers like to have one do it all pair of boots for resort and BC. Putting aside weight for a second, the friendly tele flex and moderately stiff cuff of the tx comp is right in that...

There was a time just before Covid when the party line within Scarpa was that the performance/stiffness target of the Scarpa Unicorn was the TX Comp. I.e. comparable to a 105 flex ‘intermediate...

Insulation (rigid foam) would be key to making that aluminum skin work. The site had one pic of a trimmed out interior…

Laps, what size boot was it? Assuming it’s 27.5/28, then it’s over 400 g per pair heavier than my Skorpius II….which is much stiffer and higher performance than the old orange F3. Or TX Comp. IME...

And of course CO2 is what burning methane produces. Reducing emitted methane makes sense (fixing pipeline leaks, having less cows farting etc) but burning it is what the oil fields already do. ...

7” storm and 3 runs open…guess I won’t bother driving down for tomorrow.

That’s rough, gravity. 38 yrs of dealing with health issues—I think everyone can respect and understand that he’s tired of it. My dad was hospitalized this year with a mysterious infection that...

I was hoping for something more like this.

I had the exact same thought

330g w/o brakes for the Slatnars, so heavier than the Alpinists and carbon ATK competition but the 50 mm of BSL adjustment is nice.

I think I’ll stick with $250 Alpinists from the euro retailers...

You moved to a tiny NYC apartment?

Visited a friend there who had a bathtub a few feet from the oven/kitchen counter. She had a detached door we put on the tub to create a table for dinner.

Was over $5 in Nevada a few days ago, so don’t complain too loudly
