Don't ask dumb questions on TGR before your morning coffee kids.

As always, SFB with the good shop advice. Smash brass insert in there tight, impact driver with posi bit to unstick the screw.

Per the title...scavenged some clamps at a swap, realized when I got home one of the bindings had a brass insert seized to screw. Is there a way to remove this...or just some careful work with a...

That's SkiTalk! to you sir.

These boots are hot. Especially in person. And have a sick liner. Still, that's a high price to pay for a used boot. Especially one that everyone I know with them got...

In my experience DW would be a great choice for what you're talking about. Historically it was more fun at slow speeds and jibbing than the Bibby/Wildcat because it had a softer flex pattern. I know...

No. The Duals will accept WTR, GW and Alpine (unlike the current Looks which are GW/Alpine only).

Jumped on the train with some Evolv90s. Should simplify the quiver a bit.

Western "hard" days -- Evolv90s
Chargy days -- Corvus
Playful days / Low tide -- Deathwish
Big days -- Protest

FWIW, I'm 6'2" / 175# (32/34 pants, 15/34 shirt) and own 4 Brosses (who the fuck knows why). All in Medium and I think that is the correct fit for me.

Wait, ATKs now come in red? Fuck.

Looking to get out of dodge for a week with the wife and pup and have 3 free days at Red Lodge on our season pass. Thinking mid-Feb.

Any nearby spots for some meadow skipping with the pup and...

I think your conversion of width makes sense for my case. I'm in 97/98mm lasted boots (RX LV and XTD Ultra) without width issues in 27 mondo boots. My measurements were 108mm (106mm converted - 8 =...

Same tech, slightly different implementation and not directly associated with any manufacturer. Scan fit utilizes 3 pictures, this builds from 6. Whether that gives any additional precision or...

Have scanned twice now, results are consistent (R foot longer than left, L foot wider than right), but second scan (on hardwood vs carpet) was about 2-3mm bigger all around. Will try third time but...

The toe height will fit most likely, but I believe the issue is that the AFD geometry/angle of GW is different than alpine.

Probably comparable to a L R1. Haven't owned one though.

I'd say it depends on which Pata piece you're talking about as their fits can vary quite a bit. At 6'2" / 175 I wear an M in this but I am mostly legs.

Lots of users on here who are hard on their gear have beaten the Tecton up for lots of riding -- no widespread durability issues.

Tecton is a better binding in every way as far as I can tell....

I heard they hired Ken to single-man bootpack the entire Ridge starting in March.

Cause Adrenalated is pretty respected in front range ski and avy community and is never a holier than thou dick.

Except when it comes to bootpacking the Ridge.

Surprise inch or two on Berthoud this morning for some meadow skipping. If you get up early you can still beat the shit show.

Bross 3.0 (heavier w/ wind-resistant fabric) is my go for spring skiing, round-town biking, mild-weather touring. And just looking cool in my flat brimmed hat, drinking triple IPAs on the tailgate of...

Yep -- new Bross pullover is underneath. Showed up this afternoon.

My first black 2.0 is probably my most worn piece of clothing ever.

The pullover is underneath yo!

Dig it. Same bross fabric I love in pullover -- my preferred for sleeping in winter/edge seasons. M of pullover feels a little snugger than the 2.0 zips I have,...

maybe i'll go full bross.

Pullover Sand
2.0 Black
2.0 Sage
3.0 Black

Looks like mine is out for delivery....but do i just change out of my current bross into the new bross when it arrives?

Sorry -- should've been clearer. I don't think it's a mod thing. I think it's the large "we shall not judge" contingent (not necessarily the mods) that gets to me at times -- especially when...

Looked like they got a good squall yesterday afternoon.

After spending two weeks skiing in Euro land I'm ready to go full Euro.

I believe a mag is a mod of it -- so I'm not trying to be a dick -- I'm just struggling to think through the limits of no shaming, no judgment when it comes to a social media forum. At times, we need...

It'll be open unless something really weird is going on -- in which case I'd expect it to be on their FB or IG -- follow them.

Just please don't ski closed terrain.

The CO Backcountry Ski group on FB is ridiculous in it's non-judgement. Occasionally a decision is straight up bad, and we need to call it out because it endangers other peoples lives.

Yeah, if...

It started out with a post on Reddit not Joel's site-- from one of the stuck people. Apparently the only offered to reimburse folks beyond the $5 once they made a stink of it and got media attention....

Yep. Pack is a misnomer this year.

You should care way more about preventing fractures than soft tissue. One sucks, the other can be a medical emergency if you’re in the backcountry.

Finding BD glue online was tough. I had to call 4 local shops (including 2 "touring" shops) before finding anyone that stocked it.

But scraping G3 glue off and putting BD Gold Label on has been...

There's an awesome mint(y) looking FRS Antero II Plus over on PugSki/SkiTalk for $125 that's just been sitting there.

FWIW the Corvus is unchanged since 18/19 except for topsheets. And given the very brand-conscious design, I actually think a mix and match would look pretty good!

110s, Perfect Trees, upper 110s. Given forecast didn't feel comfy on anything over 30.

Woodsmans or the Wildcats I posted?

If the Wildcats, they won't be too much for you. If you like touring on the 181 CD104L that is. Softer and easier tail for sure.

This is great option -- esp if not sold yet -- Moment Wildcat 108 in 184. Newer builds are pretty darn light, easy to break loose, good enough on hardpack:...

Was pleasantly surprised being able to rock up to current creek TH after 9am on a holiday week and easily get parking for 4 cars in the non-overflow. Skiing was damn good. Snowed from arrival til our...

Stoked.

Does this mean I get to retire my Melly? Probably could sell it on ebay for 2x the price of this despite it being worn to bits.

Upside of fully loaded touring is that when you pack a bike and a couple small bags, fly to Europe, and credit card tour through wine country you realize just how good life is.

I really appreciate...

A note to the patrol director is always good to add—often read in part at morning meetings to remind folks that people do appreciate it.

No beacon, no apparent partner. Chimney Chute.

Vibes. Rough start to this season here.

These are hyper fun. They are very intuitive and still have plenty of top end.

I've used these folks before for visitors for I70 pickup/drop-off. https://maisondeski.com/rentals/

I think they opened the Rat up to the public for at least warming-up last weekend.

Saw it was -33F wind chill this AM there -- and that was at the weather station.

Sweet deal, sweet skis. Someone xmas just came early.
