The Dynafit ST Rotation 7 can be set with release values from 2.5-7.0 and the G3 Zed 9 can be set 3.0-9.0. If you're looking for a release value of 4.0 or higher then most bindings have a version...

I love my TRX. Like you I started in a class, and I still have regular private lessons/training to keep me on track (I have absolutely no comprehension of posture, I quickly lose focus on keeping my...

Nice photos. And damn I want to go back there.

I've done mine several times in a conventional oven (I have a convection oven but the lowest setting with the fan on is ~320F). I set it to 200F now, but I used to do 220F. I think using the liners...

I had a similar pressure point and with the wrong footbeds the boots were just painful, but with the right ones they were bordering on perfect. The stock footbeds were wrong, my red superfeet were...

That statement is not entirely without merit. It takes more caution to punch out thinner AT boots like my TLT5's, but I talked to my boot fitter about it and what I'd read online and he took it slow...

Oh, I'm coming. I just hope it keeps up for another week.

I came into this thread just wanting to add that my heels release quite easily when I'm skiing my softer skis (Dynafit Manaslus w/ Vertical FT12's @ 12) but I've never had a problem on my stiffer...

I don't think 20 people could put a dent in it. I've only been to Sorcerer lodge, and we kept using one run to get to where we'd start going up each day, and that got tracked out quite badly, but...

You could probably summarize most of our opposition with, "why would you not want to use inserts?" To me, putting inserts in a ski is so trivial (in effort and cost) it's worth it to do with every...

If you're using inserts it's very simple. If you're not using inserts it's still simple (read the mount your own skis thread), but it also means that it's very unlikely they were mounted in a way...

I know you've "fixed" it, but as a data point: when I first mounted them with inserts I used 20mm screws that were a tiny bit too long, so the screw heads stuck up probably about 1mm above normal and...

I will day trip Jasper (4.5 hours) and Lake Louise (5.0 hours) at least 10 times a season, but only when there's fresh. I will day trip Castle (6.0 hours) only for awesome conditions. I will drive to...

I used the Dynafit Radical 2.0 template from wildsnow.com for the toes and a Dynafit Beast 16 template from some Scandinavian website for the heels. It worked well enough (watch your print scaling,...

There's definitely a Radical 2.0 template on wildsnow.com. I used it for my Beast 14 toes and it worked well.

EDIT: found it:...

I would pay to watch them try to boot-pack with these things.

I used the Luxury mid-vol liner and now use the Power Tongue liner in my Dynafit Mercuries. I notice the difference between that combo and my TLT5's with stock liners (which is my idea of the perfect...

Toilet paper is part of my fire starting kit. God help me the day I'm on a quick BC mission and I really have to shit and start a fire.

Thanks for posting this.

I use PLUM Guides with Marker Schizo's on some skis and Guides with Dukes on other skis. The adjustability of the Schizo toes makes it work really well but I'm also fine with having my Dukes off by a...

If you get time, how much does the shell weigh without the liner?

This has me intrigued:

It looks like the toe plate would work with a radical toe piece, though the heel is only useful for...

ETA: Neither of these are wireless, which probably makes this post useless to you.

I swear by these:

I think Scot Schmidt in his yellow & black w/ skinny skis would be a nice contrast. And if you could pull off Glen Plake's mohawk that'd be pretty distinctive.

If you're just dropping it off on the way up and don't need it to last more than half a day, it would be pretty simple to leave a Galaxy S4 (or any other Android phone with an ambient temperature...

There will still be snow then, but without a good overnight freeze it will be a slog to get up to where it did freeze overnight. It's probably worth poking around the Parker's Ridge / Icefields...

You'll find stuff along the Icefields Parkway (#93) between Lake Louise and Jasper, particularly if you're comfortable with more mountaineering-oriented skiing. Summits & Icefields 1 by Chic Scott is...

Have you tried loosening the screws in the toes a bit, clicking in the toe of the boot and trying to line it up and then tightening the toe screws? Changing the DIN probably won't do anything; this...

As a content consumer I prefer Vimeo, because (a) it's always HD, (b) I don't have to stay logged into Google to have my history/preferences, and (c) the ads are much less intrusive. I wouldn't pay...

I highly doubt the point of his project is to make a ski you'd willingly sell to your grandma. Based on my experiences in shop class, learning how to make it less shitty than the piece of shit you...

If you have excess cable length you could probably fashion something to pinch the two cables together and reduce the effective length of the loop by a few millimeters. If you need it to be adjustable...

So nice.

Even better than usual.

Thanks for this.

That's what I was hoping for. But almost two seasons later and it still hasn't happened. I think I need to find (longer) replacement cables to give myself just a little more slack to work with....

I wouldn't worry about it. You're only talking about 2mm of extra exposed base on each side. Rockered skis aren't terrible to skin on, but traversing hard snow slopes can be a royal PITA. The S3's...

Ya lost me

You cover it with more snow!

Well, you make it a subtle shape that doesn't look out-of-place. Which they clearly did not do.

this deserves a bump

I love my Lotus 138's in any untouched snow that I can sink a few cms into, but if it's tracked out then they are way too much of a handful for me. They're manageable on groomers, but riding chopped...

Sometimes I'm exactly like you (impatient), and sometimes I'm exactly like the dude in front of you (chilled the fuck out). When it's a conscious decision I'm him every time, because he was probably...

There are so many threads on this site on the subject. One is titled "Kid Stoke," I think, and another in Gear Swap, "Keep the kids skiing... Pass it down," or something like that. Everything I have...

I'll second the VLC (VideoLAN Client) suggestion. If not maybe Winamp will do it. And this could help:

Let their Mum decide what clothing they'll wear. She'll know. And then you'll know. Kids don't stay still just because they're not on skis, so it'll be the same as anything else. I have so many "bad"...

This. While my pack does do A-frame nicely it interferes with the airbag so I don't use it. When I'm hiking inbounds habit or laziness usually prevails and I don't bother/remember to go A-frame.

This leaves me without a good ski mountaineering ski, but I could rent those when I need them.

You can also put inserts in the ski for multiple mounts. Look for the swiss cheese experiment thread. I don't understand why you'd bother with plates if you're already putting inserts in, unless...
