I have super similar questions, planning for a week long trip next year to get my mom a chance to ski in Europe like she did in her childhood before she can't ski at all any more. While even 5 years...

If El Chup doesn't take them I will. Have 2nd gen XTDs with the "slightly less shitty than the shitty orange ones" green liners and would like to breathe some life back into these boots.

The 3 days to get anything from Tokyo to/from Hokkaido kinda ruins the appeal for me though. Spending an extra 2 nights in Tokyo on both ends isn't as enjoyable as it used to be now that I've done it...

Another amazing trip in the books. Already making plans for next year.

Anyone have experience taking the train with a full set of gear from Tokyo up to Niseko/Furano and back? To me the flight to...

Looking for a pair of shifts to throw on a pair of Head Kore 111 my brother won in a draw recently. 110 brake likely ideal, but 120 isn't end of the world and I suppose even 100 might fit with a bit...

PMed on the Ions if they're still available.

Also interested in the Zeds but seems like there's plenty of people already willing to jump on them.

Beauty, thanks guys.

Any tips for Vancouver ski shops for tunes and whatnot? Had been going to Vancouver Ski & Board my whole life, got set up to do things myself last year but never seem to have the time. Not had great...

Maybe not an option for you, but we've decided as a group to spend 2 nights at the HND terminal hotel this winter before flying up to Sapporo. No worries about connection times, lost skis, etc. And a...

Hey I'll take em (shipped to my box in the US), just let me know where to send paypal to?

Anyone know what rules are like surrounding skis during summer ops while there's still snow on the ground? Have a friend in town May 28 and wondering if it's permitted to bring skis up the gondola,...

PM sent on the boots

Yesterday was great, saw patrol dropping the 7th open sign right as we got off the gondola, first tracks into Sudan (but 3rd/4th out because we're old) which was near bottomless after the top bit....

I, a Westcomb thirsty jong, would happily take it. Shipping would be to my box in WA.

Had to go into the interior for work last week, cop at the bottom of the switchbacks on 99 at 4:30am was definitely not letting anyone past who wasn't very explicitly allowed on the road. Coming home...

Love the tinkering! If you like this remote evaporator set-up for whatever reason, you might be able to find a busted beer draft line cooling glycol unit that's been sitting in a bar somewhere for...

I'm not sure this is how the thing was designed to hold them, but this seemed to work okay. BCA B1 Blade is a tight fit inside the main pocket but it'll shove in there. My larger G3 shovel won't fit....

I got this old vest from LeeLau last month that I'm no longer using. You can have it for cost of shipping assuming you aren't in the Vancouver/Whistler area for pickup.
...

Have a box of these shifts sitting next to me: 40x19x18cm 2.2kg

I placed an order online thinking it was probably an inventory error, then went in person this morning to my local store that was showing stock and bought 3 of the 4 that were on the shelf there....

New ski day!

Located in Vancouver. Happy to ship at buyer's expense, but shipping in Canada sucks, especially to the US, so quotes might be a little crazy sounding. I can deliver to...

Not Squamish/Whistler, but KMS Tools stocks PZ3 bits that'll work in any standard multi bit driver.

Sounds like immediate pain as soon as he buckles up from lack of width in most boots you can find in the shop. We'll keep our eyes out for a Prime XTD, thanks. If they need work, sounds like a great...

Made in India AstraZenica 1st dose trip report: nearly 48 hours later still feel like shit, headache and a bit of nausea. Woke up in the middle of the night 9 hours after the shot shivering like...

Cool, thanks guys. Will grab some BG108T for next year!

I've been on BGs for the past few years as my inbounds ski and they're incredible for me. I have confidence in tricky places I haven't had since I was 13. I've been struggling all year to get...

These are the feet of my buddy with the most boot trouble in our group. He's in 25/25.5 Fischer RC Pro 110s right now with with a claimed 100mm width that he really likes, not sure if the fancy...

Yup, that will be my first move barring any other info coming to light. "I have an Atomic foot" seems to be a frowned upon way of thinking in several sources though, so having some idea as to why my...

Hi thread, long time reader, first time poster.

Spent the first 30 years of my ski career being fitted by disinterested local fitters, until the last two years where I've been fed up with the pain...

If anyone who can't get the XTD Mimic liner to work wants to get a couple bucks back on their Intuition (or whatever) purchase, I'd happily buy your sz 27/27.5 liner. Can't find a single shop in BC...

If anyone is interested in parts, I have the following sitting around:
-Gunmetal P18 w/ 75mm brakes. Good working condition, paint is worn. Older style toe that won't fit in the WTR/GW AFD without...

If for whatever reason anyone is getting rid of the new mimic liner for this boot in a 27, I'm super interested. Either an outright purchase or trade for my 19/20 lightweight liner.

Interested in the backpack if it's the S/M size.

Anyone need to get rid of something along the lines of of an Osprey Kamber/Kresta in S/M size? Hoping to find something woman specific, or at least something that comes in multiple sizes, and so...

Also interested in the small dukes if jebjeb passes, depending on price.

I'll take them if you're willing to ship to Canada. No rush, so whatever the cheapest USPS service is I suppose.

Yesterday, right in the middle of Christmas/NY week, decent amount of fresh snow on a solid enough base, clearish skies, moderate temps, basically every condition possible to generate crowds, it took...

I have a set of 95mm that I'd trade for 115mm if you're willing to let me wait until the 115s arrive before I swap them out and send the 95s back, as they're in use. I'm in Canada, so shipping might...

Passed that line at Creekside at 8:25 or so. Zero slow downs on the highway (even between Function and Creekside) so I don't think much/most of it is from the city.

Parked in lot 2, paid my $10,...

Grabbed some holiday date reservations just for the hell of it, and noticed that my coverage was changed from W/B Core Season to 7 day. Changed it back to Core season and all reservations...

I have white ones with 115 brakes in good to mint condition (~10 days skiied) that I'd trade if you have 115 or 130s.

Hey, just about to pull the trigger on a new pair of 164cm Blizzard Sheeva 10 that are on sale, but figure I'd check here first to see if someone has any they are looking to get rid of. She might be...

Looking for a metal half moon (or plastic if they're compatible?) if anyone has one they're willing to part with for beer money (or beer if in Vancouver/Whistler).

I get the complaints about grooming and lift reliability (though I do wonder whether we're now just hyper sensitive to other lifts going down given the Blackcomb Gondola issues), but what the fuck is...

I was talking about this with someone last week. I'm almost positive you could get there from top of glacier when glacier first opened, but all my buddies say I'm crazy and it was never possible.

This. Even Whistler is a ghost town Mon-Thu (as long as there hasn't been 50cm of cement delivered straight from Hawaii into the alpine, in which case the place is a gong show).

Bitching about...

Oops, looks like I PMed joeshek by accident, my bad!

PM sent on skis

T-Bar opened at 12:30 or so, very deep, but absolutely zero vis until the treeline. Had to bail back home after that one run, but didn't look like Harmony was opening any time soon, patrol was...
