Obligatory: Mount Your Own Fucking Skis
Don't wanna go too off topic, but are you liking the Raptors so far? I've drank the "I want all my inbounds gear to be as heavy as possible" kool-aid and want to give them a try
No - the thinking is more “anyone over 30 doesn’t know what the fuck is going on right now, and neither do we”
Price is a bit high IMO - seems most are going for $350 or so flat, then subtract $50 for Wardens :biggrin: but seriously you’ll get more interest if you adjust your price into the $350 - $450 range...

Just mounted these puppies, will be my first time skiing the LP105/M-Pro 105 this weekend! Looking forward to the crud-busting ability, but a little worried about the traditional mount...
1st in line if the Pivots fall through with Lord Thomas
Two spots open - shoot me a PM if interested
Edit: Spots filled
In line if this falls through.
PM inbound.

I don't have an objective answer for the best alpine binding, but I know the Warden 11 sure as hell isn't it.
After 30-40 days of skiing aggressively on a pair, both heel pieces developed 1/4" -...
I took a visit to the Moment factory this weekend and was able to demo the Commander series for the first time. Probably has been talked about ad nauseum but I thought I’d share my JONG 2₵,...
Appreciate the offer. Demoing a pair of 29 TX Pros today and they are incredibly tight for my foot… don’t think I can go down a shell size
Headed up to OV/AM this weekend, any opinions of whether to bring a ~105mm underfoot ski or a Wildcat (118mm)? Only have room for one in the ski bag…
1st in line if this falls through
For all the tele-wisemen: Do the Scarpa TX Pro and TX Comp have the same fit? I can only find the TX Pro to try on in-store, but think I might want the stiffness of the TX Comp (6'4", 185lbs).
Any...
Donated! Thanks for doing the hard work optics
BNWT Smith 4D Mag, Chromapop Storm Yellow Flash lens. Still has inner lens protective lining on. No sleeve included.
$65 shipped to the lower 48. Also willing to trade for Smith I/O Mag lenses....
Looking for a set of NTN boots, Mondo 29 before dropping $$$ on a new set. Anybody have anything?
Just bought a Meridian/Outlaw setup from BeHuWe and this'll be my first time trying to tele...
I have a spare Storm Rose lens for the I/O Mag (regular size), some inner lens scratches but not unusable. If you pay shipping they’re yours.
One more here for the contribution fund! You sir are a ski legend. Enough said.
Jealous of your Mammoth trip LDD! You'll have a hell of a time. 22 and 23 were the tits last weekend, so I can only dream about what it'll be like this weekend...
I'll be at Snow Valley this...
You ever heard of the Law of Holes? I'll repeat it here, since your other replies indicate you aren't the quickest learner.

Also, all of the comments are...
I’ll bite.
1) 14/15 Bibby's - Love the skulls + Baphomet
2) 17/18 Bibby’s - Spooky
3) 21/22 Wildcats - Who hates Space??
Also like the 22/23, but I can’t get over the giant router
Good to know! I've switched over to the darkside, so it's Moments or other cult skis for me... looking at the C98 for a Mammoth DD
My 2¢ - Good luck to the buyer… I had the 18/19 2.0, and absolutely hated it. It was an evil, pingy ski which was only ever fun at Mach speed on perfect corduroy or an untouched 3”-6” of fresh. As...
Amazing weekend out there, only wished I could have stayed for Monday. Was able to ski from 9-4 each day. Vis and winds were worse on Saturday, but cleared up a little on Sunday. Powder was...
opensnow.com/blister gives you a free 60-day free trial... just FYI for all the cheap Mags like me. No CC required
Couldn't believe the tennis line shot... also loved watching him on the chain next to the SF bay, I can only imagine how slippery it was.
The backwards stoppie down Lombard St was something else
FYI to all… new run of CB’s just popped up… wish I had $1000 to drop on some of these bad boys.

Props to RAB3, he knows how to ship skis the right way! Great guy to work with.

Awesome pics Eastern Sierra Skier. Some buddies and I got up there Thursday morning and skied till last bell on Sunday. I think I must've skied below your lines on both Avy 2 and Paranoids.

Thanks! I took your advice of using no power tools when driving the screws, and ended up without any spinners
Just finished mounting up these bad boys. Had a base dimple due to a drill bit collar slipping.. but since these are my powder tools they'll be fine.
Thanks to Skuff for the minty fresh Forza...
Looks like a fantastic opening is ahead... I'll be up there next weekend. Hopefully we'll all be able to use our powder sticks if this weather pattern continues!

Pass printed last week... hoping I don't have to pick it up on opening weekend in Mammoth, as I'm guessing it'll be a shitshow.
I think demand will stay high for the Ikon pass, until a recession...
New member here. Grew up skiing Tahoe, now living in SoCal. Try to get 30-40 days a year, but having a stable job is a real drag on that. Mostly do Mammoth or out of state trips. Also into surfing,...
