Great video, thanks for posting.

He talks a bit about "stance" - this isn't really something I've thought of when trying to find a boot. Does anyone know of more resources that talk about stance?...

I'm rarely one to defend PTOV, but a wind hold seems reasonable looking back at the speeds from today: https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/rev/remotedata/screst.php and...

I do wonder if it would be a good idea for CHP to shut down 80 for Semis earlier (vs passenger cars). I know it wouldn't really fit into the r1/r2/r3 system caltrans already has..... but dealing with...

I've been mostly sticking to Alpine- but given that I think reverse traverse has been open this seem fishy. Anyone been skiing over there and...

Anyone know where I can buy tongues, specifically some "P" tongues?

I have a pair of lupo ax hds I'd love to stiffen up I can

You could traverse to roundhouse/yellow or over to lower scott and get some nice turns. Better than not skiing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is it really that hard to get a sled back there? I don't ride them, but I would have thought it wouldn't be too hard to follow the shirley canyon trail from solitude, or essentially take one down...

Wondering if anyone here has experience with the pivot bolt (not sure if that is the correct term) repeatedly breaking. I have a pair of older technica mach1 mv 130s (probably 100+ days on them) and...

Is that the top of early shirley?

Must be all the east winds we had after storms this year. Hiked reverse traverse and it was pretty wild how melted out the top of headwall was.

Like everyone said, great skiing this weekend. West...

I have a Jetforce Pro in M/L which works, but isn't quite as big as I would like. For reference, for a backpacking backpack I use the ULA equipment Circuit in size large which they say is a torso of...

Salomon gave me a bit of a run around trying to get this fixed- they initially tried to get me to return/replace the whole toe, but after pressing them a few times and following up on my support...

Another jong chiming in for advice during the spring sale.

Right now I'm leaning towards picking up a 192 or 196 protest, probably standard flex. I'll probably also email Keith to get his...

I've had one bad experience: a mount where (unbeknownst to me) they had messed up one of the holes and had put a threaded insert in under the binding....

Snow was still good for dawn patrol - the storm was right-side-up in tahoe donner (even if it did start w/ rain). Got to the car and the temp said 33 so I assume the sun is starting to nuke it. ...

Granite chief opened noon-ish, was fun, but definitely not blower. Parking lot mostly full, surprising for a Wednesday. Good turns on hogsback/headwall face later in the day - was getting refilled by...

anyone know if summit @ alpine spun today?

Updating- I was having problems with the toe lever staying locked and Salomon sent me new DIN windows.

Yep, I'm pulling up to the second click, until the arrows are aligned. Fair question though, you have to pull pretty hard.



I bought them straight from Salomon so here's hoping I'm able to get...

I found a post about this a few pages back, but figured I'd bump the topic in case anyone else is running into it as well: I'm also having the problem of the toe piece not staying locked in tour...

FS: 2014 Technica Cochise 130 - 27.5 - $50

2014 Technica Cochise 130 - 27.5 mondo. I was thinking 50bux + shipping. Feel free to price police

Could do local in the Bay Area

Could do local in the Bay Area, for the weekend warrior tahoe mags.

Some scuffing, but...

Squaw ended up running Squaw Creek, Red Dog and Far East... maybe started 1pm-ish? Unsuprisingly, some spots skiied soft, some were sheets of ice depending on how it was blowing. On-and-off snowing-...

I don't have much to add. ^^^ pretty much sums it up. The new snow would sluff off of some of the steep, icy pitches so you could scrape down to the ice. But on most of the mountain, steeper pitches...

Wow, so I guess KSL reached a deal with Sugar Bowl. Anybody see this coming?

This in my email:

I'll get in line for the skis.

We hiked High T to the Sun Bowl yesterday. Actually found a few decent turns out there, but some ice also.

Chatted with a AM patroller, they didn't seem to happy about having Wolverine/Waterfall...

The NOAA report doesn't say if that's ridge top gusts.

As you might have guessed I'm trying to figure out when the best time to head up will be. It'd be brutal to take on the inevitable I80...

What's the ballpark wind mph needed to start closing lifts? NOAA says peaks of 50mph this weekend. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=39.19288388992811&lon=-120.21961212158203

They were bombing Sunday as well. I asked a patroller about it while sharing a lift. He said that they were bombing all along the ridge from KT to Red Dog due windloading. They had no idea if...

Start Haus x3. Got my gf's boots there- the bootfitters were so good makes me realize that I made a mistake getting mine down in the bay...

So I broke down and bought a pair which arrived today. Can't wait to get them out on the snow.

I measured the same tip-to-tail as JFE24. Its kinda hard to get a real precise measurement, but it...

PM incoming.

Shipped the binders very fast, came exactly as expected.

I didn't know, but it was pretty easy to set up with some copy and paste. PM me with your google account name if you want collab rights, so you can edit the map. I didn't make it publicly editable; I...

Not the absolutely best time to snap the tendon, but better than if I had ruptured it in December or February and been stuck looking at this http://i.imgur.com/tEsti.jpg (NMS) during the sweet March...

I hope to be making a face like that when I finish up my PT.

Thanks for posting. I really like the reviews you guys do at Blister, they are well written and not full of marketing mumbojumbo (read: bullshit).

Do you guys have a list of reviews that are...

Good luck. I'm originally from Madison, cool to hear that people are making boards there. I grew up a few miles from Tyrol, I never would have expected there to a board factory within 30 miles of...

If for some reason it doesn't work out with the Dad, I'm leaving Friday evening for Tahoe City, returning Sunday, and would be happy to help out.


Edit: Oh and holler to the mag I drove next to...

I think its big enough and deep enough to never freeze.

Final bump

Dang, looking forward to seeing this

Possibly interested in these, but I want to see if anyone else comes out of the woodwork.



Also interested in these. What year are they, and what BSL were they mounted for?

Anyone have a pair of these around? Not looking to spend much $$, would obviously prefer them to be in decent shape but not super picky. I'm trying to help my girlfriend get into the sport.

Maybe...

Summit, Alpine and Scott never opened at AM today. I can see why, it was very windy. Roundhouse closed at 1:30ish. Snowing hard in Tahoe City.

I was at Alpine a few weeks ago with a sinus infection. It messes with your ears; it wierd to have them pop 4 times on the way down the hill.
