Yeah, might be time. They're pretty old. And I'm not sure if we can even find replacement AFDs now.

I'm just stepping into this confusing mess and I'm still confused having looked at different threads.
My wife just got fitted with new GW boots (K2), shop won't touch her bindings, and are pushing...

Louise opening up this Friday now.

The black and white Huitzilopochtli kartel top sheets are amazing! Never seen that variation. I'd dig those on wood veneers too.

Wow, perfect timing! Been debating between new Dalbello kryptons or new liners in my old kryptons; but didn't want to break the bank. Couldn't pass this up. Stoked for some new ones now. Thanks for...

I've put a bunch of days on my dictator 1.0s. Really fun ski. They feel stiff and light (in comparison to my other skis at least). Interesting combo as they are much more lively than some other stiff...

Yeah, that makes sense. I doubt that a footbed would work well (or better than my stock superfeet ones). Though flatter insoles are available in different widths - these thin ones (e.g. 3 mm) don't...

Has anyone here experimented with using "non-newtonian" footbeds/insoles in ski boots - which are designed to absorb shock?
I've been using them for skateboarding and they seem to actually work for...

So I’ve been looking to buy a versatile frontside carver for firm icy days, specifically the brahma 82s. Got a chance to try out Brahma 88s in these conditions (no 82s available) – some thoughts...

At 5-11, I used 125 poles forever. Dropped down to 115 last year and they feel way better. I prefer my hands lower.

Some great deals on blizzard brahmas at sierra trading post right now. I'd pick up some 82s or 88s for a frontside carver but they don't ship to canada...

Those Kartel Aztec Huitzilopochtli graphics are my favorite on3p topsheets of all time. -especially the 98 version with more black contrast in it. I fantasize about those done in a custom wood...

Thanks mntlion,

Liners are definitely old and I assume packed out. But my feet feel really good in them, (better than when liners were not packed out) and my toes rarely get too cold even out...

Planning on visiting my local boot fitter, but looking for some advice:

I have a pair of old dalbello krypton pros with intuition wrap liners. They felt perfect before; but I broke my right tibia...

The heatstroke looked real scary. That can fuck you up fast and long term. I can imagine Elyse's reaction to seeing Alka get back on his bike after that....might have deserved a solid slap upside the...

Thanks for all the vibes. Surgery went really well. So thankful there are top notch ortho surgeons in banff. Getting discharged today. And though the pain is bad, its under control.
I'll be back for...

Thanks Spooky. You still working at the Rundlestone? I stayed there a bunch this winter - asked one person for change and got the puzzled "you mean you want five pennies?" response. I felt silly.

Keys are with me in the hospital

Anyone heading to Louise today or tomorrow and willing to pick up my car and skis and drive it back to the Banff hospital? (it's a manual VW Alltrack). Any help would be most appreciated. I can help...

Some of you may remember that I shattered my knee and leg way back in 2012 at Marmot. Got medvaced, almost lost my leg, and was given zero hope of skiing again. It took years to work back to solid...

Oh shit! I thought the mid-ex = my midweek pass. Was that that same case in jan 4-7 and feb 15-18? Kicking myself....

Bummer that this week is blacked out at Louise for midweek pass holders. Would have been there today otherwise.
Oh well, glad for the base (hope it stuck on the frontside). Was thinking I might need...

Quick update on the jeffrey 108s -- after a base tune, they skied awesome today. I could tell immediately. Night and day.
Felt like christmas in march. What a great ski. I should have asked for...

Thanks for the guidance y'all.
Scott contacted me as well with the same advice (belt tune reset at 1/1).
Will bring them to my shop and update later.

Can anyone one advise me on this tune issue?:
Got a new pair of Jeff 108s mounted on line recently to round out my quiver (between kartel 98s and billygoats). Both skis are noticeably grabby,...

A little update. I ordered skis on Dec. 30 from Colorado and they arrived on Jan. 4th. Crazy fast. Shop assured me that they would use USPS, but instead sent them by Fedex - which was odd, but worked...

Unfortunately I don't have this problem (or at best 1-2 times a winter). But why not make a hood that has some stretchy material- that gives you full range of motion and isn't loud and crinkly (dunno...

Cool. Thanks crashidy.

Danno - I don't know. Usually getting stuff shipped here I can still track it after the border. But I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't always work that way, especially if...

Canada Mags - reviving this old thread to see if anything has changed (and crossposting from the on3p thread).

If getting skis shipped from a shop, is USPS int'l priority still the better option...

Hey Folks,
Quick Canada shipping question (i'm sure this has been covered somewhere already but not sure where)
Picking up some Jeff108s to complete my quiver (between my kartel 98s and billy...

Is that 666 in the Deathwish 2020 video? Looks like his dope style.

Because then you have a good excuse to add billy goats to your quiver

Any opinions on soft versus stiff boots in bumps? I've heard people claim soft is better, but how soft? I've been running the soft tongues on my dalbello kyptons for the past few years due to...

Aren't people allowed two close contacts who do not live in their house?

The first time I recall seeing snowboarders riding moguls was a dual competition at Breckenridge - probably in 1987 or so. Those dudes ripped fall line with some wild style and were really...

I guess one of the silver linings of all the races cancelled at Louise this year is being able to get a lot more terrain open quickly (?). More alphabet chutes opened on Tues but I didn't get in...

I ski in Banff - and it's usually ridiculously cold (and windy) here. In moderate cold resort days i use a down sweater under my shell. But usually I add a down vest on top of the down sweater - it...

Morning lines at SSV will surely suck. I was there the last couple days before the shutdown and was not prepared for the gondola lineup (i.e. didn't get in early enough). Will have a weekday pass at...

Can someone please buy those beautiful custom 108 jeffreys with the wolf/wood veneer...I can't justify it. Well actually I can, thats the problem.

Well, thats a wrap. What a bummer. Got out to SSV yesterday, and LL today. Was hoping for at last one more day tomorrow. Oh well. Glad I made it out as much as I could. It was still a solid season of...

Exactly. When I lived in India and had limited TP I would go for the "east-west fusion". Couple swipes with TP, then into the shower. Except there was no shower - just a bucket. Amazing how long you...

Hasn't anyone here been to India? Not ideal, but the easiest, cheapest way if the shit has hit the fan....one of the reasons you only eat food with your right hand.

This looks awesome Splat. Still stuck with simple CBD oils up in Canada (not sure if there's much skin penetration with them). Will be ordering some when I'm state side this summer.

Well shit, stuck a paper clip through the mouth piece and got out the obstruction - simple as that! Looks like the oil is congealing and clogging the mouth piece. Maybe from the cold?

Can anyone give me advice for using a disposable vape in cold weather on the hill? Sometimes it works and sometimes it seems to get clogged or something and I can't pull through it. Sometimes it...

All so true. Especially the "joint hangover." At 46 I have to do a half hour of yoga before I can move properly let alone jump up and down. Yoga, a couple of advil, and some adrenaline lets me...

That was for MegaStoke above. Forgot the quote

Im about your size (5'11''/165) and have last years 184 BGs. Haven't got out on them as much as I'd like (keep missing the storms), but I can drive them much more in comparison to my other skis which...

My favorite glove/mitten ever in that colorway! Bummed that hestra isn't making them anymore and haven't been able to find them anywhere--should have stocked up. If you see someone with them weekdays...

Cool. Thanks XXX-er for the link and instructions! I'll pick some up from MEC tomorrow on my way to Banff.
Just to clarify - do you remove the plastic/saran wrap after its dry or do you just smooth...
