Thanks, bud. Wish I had one pair and got twice as many days! Maybe 1 alpine and 1 touring...anyway...

I don't have enough days on the FRS in actual pow to do a real review. They are not as good as...

I love the simplicity of this quiver! And both skis too.

That Backland shape seems like it would be awesome in that waist width. It was good in the 107 width, but I thought it would be even better a touch narrower, like 95!

That's an awesome quiver.

How do you like the MVP 119s? I have the Praxis FRS (almost a MVP 119) with alpine bindings - I commented that it would be a sweet shape for backcountry pow touring.

188 Blizzard Rustler 11 with SHIFTs. 2952 grams. Travel, do-it-all. Awesome ski. So versatile. SHIFTs are…okay.

187 Praxis Protest with Kingpins. 2838 grams. Pow-touring. My favorite...

Love this thread. Wes Mantooth...those Bibbys are the business!!

SuhweeT! Thanks for the heads up. Here's the linky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iJQSifgkR4&feature=youtu.be

Hoping to do some Cal Enduro Series events and other stuff here and nearby, most likely:

China Peak
Ashland
Shasta (?) doubtful.

Maybe others if they get scheduled.

Hopefully Fears,...

Drizzling until 1:30 per the webcam. Still misting at 1:30 when I showed up. Sun came out at 2:00.

Gotta love KT power hour!

25* at the base of Squaw right now, 40* up high. Inversion.

Was that you rolling solo (with the Sally MTN Explore boots) on the choice spot? I knew that dude/you was core.

Skiing is fun.


This skied surprisingly well on the way out.

Better coverage than it looks....

Good talk all - love the diff perspectives



All great skis - we're totally splitting hairs. Don't think you can go wrong with either. Hands down my favorite is high praise - makes me want to...

I've owned 190 Bibbys, 190 Exit World (touring layup, Bibby shape), 190 Deathwishes, and 190 Wildcat 108 Tours. And 188 PB&Js.

Since you have the Jeff for an inbounds daily and the Protest for...

Also, my daughter broke her tibia. Anyone have a ski pulk I can borrow for a few weeks to pull her on some XC trails?

Check out that cast color selection! Lol

2-day Praxis FRS review. 188, flex 4, nylon topsheet (stock model).

1 day of hardpack and winter chalk
1 day of 4-6" little pow day

In short, these things make me feel like Mario in Super...

Been a slow start to the season for me, but here's a wee bit of stoke.

First two from Alterra Mountain Resort at Lake Tahoe.

You got the EP8 in those RXs?? ;)

184 Wildcat 108 Tour with lighter touring bindings (VOYAGER 14!!, ATK, Helio, Alpinist, MTN). Or Deathwish Tour with similar bindings.

Deathwish is a great ski,...

Whoa - that's rad - thanks for sharing.

Trail digging conditions are most excellent.

Hope y'all are making the best lemonade you can with this shitty crop.

Kevo that's awesome.

Can't wait to try mine out. The Voyagers are a thing of beauty.

That was radical. Kudos.

Nice Spur/rig set-up. Can you share what you have on the bike, other than the lights?

Thanks for the commentary y'all. Just pulled the trigger on a Mezzer for 27.5, 37mm offset. It's set for 180, but I will drop it to 170 for comparison with existing 36 Performance Elite. Looks easy...

Only tagged 1 rock.

Nice fat base builder up high.



This guy, man, rough night.

Those straight roads will get ya when yer blind drunk!

This post makes me VERY happy. Bibbys have been my all-time fave resort ski. But in this touring slot, I've gone through Ravens, Backland 107s, Lowdown 102s, and Praxis BCs. The BCs were the...

Let's see how many more posts we can get about people complaining about $5 in service charges for a $25 season pass....in return for plowing parking lots all winter long. dafuq?

As part of a larger project, Tahoe National Forest just approved 35 miles of existing trail for eMTB use. Here's the environmental assessment:...

Ah, gotcha. Thanks. Interesting to hear that there hasn't been much increased use in that area. Of course, COVID and border closures are doing weird stuff to trail usage everywhere.

You must be fun at parties.

For real though -- are you trying to convince people to support welcoming eMTBs onto all trails? I think that's your goal.

Cool - go nuts. You do have some useful...
