S Jake’s still fully goes save for Eagle chute. Will be a decent amount of dirt walking by next weekend. No idea on the bear scratch but I’d be very skeptical it goes.

PM’s replied too.

Looks like a trade with Lord Thomas for some 109s is on tap.

If these were 180cm long I’d take them with me to the grave but they are just a bit too short to have the speed limit I want in variable conditions. Asking $300 for skis and skins or $450 for the...

Thanks,
Also getting some samples sent but trying to find all the nerdy fabric info I can find.

There is a pair in Truckee on CL and FB https://reno.craigslist.org/spo/d/truckee-volkl-bmt-122-carbon/7729196948.html.

I could help with coordinating shipping if needed in return for good karma...

Does anyone have a feedback on whether the GFT being less warm than intuitions holds true in warmer conditions? Are they any better or worse in mega warm, sweaty swamp foot inducing temps?

Remove the heel tower from the base plate, clean, and grease.

After some not as dominant classic sprints at the end of the seasons I was biting my nails a bit. But as hammer down said, it was pretty awesome to see her crush the field in this last race to put a...

I haven't skied them in those conditions yet, but will add that if/when that happens.

I’ll add anything that is relevant as I get more days in. My main remaining question is if they float as well as the bmt109s. The bmts are great in 2-20 inches of new but does the c105 having a...

I’ll also add after one day in 1-4 inches of new snow on a firm but edge-able base that the bc105s share many of my favorite characteristics of the bmt109s. Namely they coax you into skiing faster...

Japan,

go take a ski trip there and offload those items there. Stores are selling used 10-15 year old items for 70-80% of current model retail value. They will also take your old college...

Hey Marshall, will there be another run if the C113?

I’ve looked hard for marker spare parts but haven’t found any. Pretty sure you can swap heel towers and base plates without much hassle. your best option may be to buy a long travel binding and sell...

Floppy risers

Nice. There is also a pair of unknown length in Denver listed as a vwerks carbon katana 95 underfoot. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/743827121108887/?ref=search

Caveat that stuff is certainly challenging to communicate to others let alone honestly grapple with yourself. Also, Matt is much fitter and a better skier than I am.

However, I found a pretty big...

If you can stand this years god awful colors. These fall on the far end of the breathable and dexterous spectrum. There is only mesh on the side of the fingers between the palm material and the back...

With respect, I’ve had different and positive experiences on my alpinists. 300+ days between 4 pairs and have 1 pair well over 100 days.

My oldest pair of u springs are barely perceptibly softer...

Thanks for the recs. I went the softer shell route with the marmot precip gloves but those temre’s look to be a good option too.

I have an older pair of kingpins sitting around that need a home if anyone is in need. Ideally priced at the nexus of mag friendly pricing while making a modest contribution to blaster’s n+1 fund.

Seconded. It captures living in a ski town in a hilarious way. The plot is comparably strong to many great ski films (hotdog, aspen extreme, out cold, the gang hits the slopes) and has just as many...

Found some significant delam on my favorite pair of skis.

Do you mind sharing why you are passing them on? The HL threads are 99% froth so hard to find a more critical review.

Bump

only short a single toe piece to complete a set. happy to pay for a pair if need be though

I know it’s harder to come by marker tech toes only but I’d love to find a pair of alpinist toes. Kingpin toes would be fine if the price is right.

Can anyone compare the edge hold of the 94s on proper firm conditions to the blizzard 0G105?

While the credit goes to volunteers and private donors instead of any local government organization, Nevada Nordic, nevadanordic.org, has free groomed XC trails that are great.
