If they're younger kids or intermediate skiers I would go White Salmon. Easier access to the intermediate terrain at the resort. If they're good skiers and you're planning to tour up there, go...

I've done a TransBC when it was in the Rossland/Castlegar/Nelson area. Megan (the organizer) runs a pretty dialed program, and the staff are all great.

Each of these races has a slightly...

I had a similar feeling but it was caused by too much cork over the ankle bone making the fit really tight around the pivot point of the boot. This was the case even after baking them to get an...

Roger. Then you want to take full pulls of PT and Canyon Creek at Raging River and Predator, NOTG, and Legend -> Megafauna at Tiger. Tokul is more like mini-golf but still fun riding.

Predator is...

The best riding is going to depend snow level, weather, and type of riding you like. Check Trailforks prior to see which trails still have snow on them before committing to a specific ride.

If we...

Thanks. This was 100% the issue. After cutting back the footbed the heel lift feeling went away.

Anyone experience a sensation of an elevated heel when switching to zipfits?

ZGTP boot with GFTs coming from stock liner. My custom footbeds are a pretty tight fit inside the GFT and I’m...

On 2/24/23 a rider skinning on a bench above some serious exposure on the N side of Chair Peak in Snoqualmie Pass triggered an avalanche and was swept over a cliff.

Depenging on exact start point,...

Still forming my full impressions but the TLDR for now is: These skis fucking rip. They're some of the best soft snow touring sticks I've used.

Whether you want the 113s or the 105s depends on...

Roger that!

Anyone have strong mount point opinions for the 187 C113s?

About to throw ATKs FR14s on them and was just going to split the difference of recommended (-10 to -11) and mount at 10.5. Boot is a...

What size regular pant are you? Been looking at these but worried they're going to be a touch big.

Alright, so it’s a known issue. Bummer flaw in an otherwise fantastic boot imo.

If anyone says fuck it and brings SB’s mold idea to life, sounds like there’d be a few buyers 😂

Has anyone had issues with breaking the boot boards (zeppas) in their ZGTPs?

Context - I've broken two left boot boards, both after a day of lift served skiing. They both broke in a very similar...

This advice is spot on. Unless you have a spot where you’ll be able to pop it up and dry out, you’re better off with a hard side imo.

Had an FWC for a couple years and it was fantastic in the PNW...

Someone with more recent experience should chime in here as my mine is 15 years stale.

For US-based racers, Hood is the place with the most options – I’d look there for your best bet. Tichy...

I wanted to circle back to this thread with results from my search/testing/experiments over the last year and my ultimate purchase decision.

TLDR: there is no mass-produced, unicorn pack that...

Report confirms that it failed on the PWL about 4-5 feet deep.

The snowpack in the PNW has gotten complex in the last couple weeks due to a PWL developing over most of the region. We've had several close calls and was it probably only a matter of time before...

Making a round trip this Saturday if that works?

Yeah but today it's a steal at 53% off right? Especially since quote, "Tire lever doubles as a bottle opener for enjoying a Belgian Trappist ale post ride".

I have a pair of Dalbello Lupo Factory boots in size 27.5 that ended up being the wrong size for me. They're the 17-18 Model that I purchased from mag dadour last year. Used by me for one season but...

Been super happy with my Lupo Factory's. They ski super well and go uphill decently - especially with the tongue removed - but are not a pure touring boot and not as light as others out there. If...

Thanks, sounds like we have very similar thoughts here and looking forward to an update.

My thought is that I'd rather have a single pack that's usable for every overnight trip rather than 2 separate overnight packs (one for 1-2 nights, and one for 3+) in 4-season conditions with...

For a paper thin hoodie this is the garment you seek: https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-tropic-comfort-hoody-ii/52124.html It's meant for summer fishing but works great for spring/sunny tours....

Super helpful. Feels like the Trion 50+7 would have been perfect, not sure how it differes from the new regular Trion but I tried one of those and compared it with the Trion Spine by walking around...

Yeah there's probably a comprimise here and the diagonal ski carry can go but the avy tool pocket (or something that can be used as one) and either side or back panel access that work with skis...

I've looked at both and came to a similar conclusion. They're the closest things I've found but each has their flaws. If necessary I'd compromise on the diagonal ski carry but no easy access to main...

Point on being picky well taken. I did reach out to Neil and he wrote a super thoughtful reply saying that he didn't think the Selkirk was big enough (bummed but appreciated the honesty!) and that...

Hi All, I've used the search function and found several "what pack?" threads but haven't found an answer to my question as of yet. Posting this in a last ditch effort to find what I'm looking for:
...

Interested in the package deal for wildcat tours, fritschis, and skins. Sent you a PM.

Yup I do. I'm the second owner - no work done to liners or shells from what I can tell. Used as my primary touring boot last season and need to size down to a 26.5. PM me for details if you're...

Food recommendation: Post ride burritos or the taco salad at Sunny Chibas in Squamish. Slightly pricey but delicious.
...

Took mine with Max at Tahoe Mountain School in Truckee. He was incredible but the group was just ok (mixed abilities). Highly recommend Max though....

👍

Thanks that’s super helpful. See ya there!

100% all the party you need from a rig.

I also got a slot, couldn't be more excited about it. Debating a bike upgrade for the event - currently riding a Kona Process 111 and think it might be on the low-end of travel necessary for a...
