Ended up finding a new ski setup with touring adapters&skins from a local shop for around 300. Thanks for checking though.

What If I selected pick up in store?

Maybe I should worry. :confused:

ISO touring setup on ~140cm skis.
Kid wants to try it out.
Looking for next year, as snow is disappearing too damn fast out east here.

Side question: Hoji lock is chewing through my Rad Pro liners. Considering the GFT as a liner replacement. Are they any more durable against the Hoji lock?

Interested in the icelantics couts for my kid. Sent a PM for details

Anyone know if these will have a high volume fit (closer to the Radical Pro) or more of a medium/low volume fit (closer to the Hoji free)?

Found in Zermatt bar. Maggots have been here.

Thanks for the info.

Recently picked up an Arcteryx Rush Jacket.
It comes with their Slide 'n Loc™ snap closures on powder skirt to seal up with the pants. I believe they are MFG'd by a company called Riri under the...

Also I was asking for the MSRP of the replacement soles only.

I've done my research on the boots. Finding info on the replacement soles is the hard part

Kids will do that to ya. But got 'em on skis already. Plus they went batshit crazy when we got a dusting of snow the other day. They could be future maggots. So I haven't f*cked up the parenting...

I will be heading up tomorrow night and staying at the Hermit lake until Sat. Morning. If any other maggots are up there - look for a blue helmet with "C" on fire.

Change for a nickle still - or...

I am also interested in something like this, but have had no luck finding anything. Of course it also might be due to a lack of effort. If you find anything shoot me a PM.

Hmmm, I was already planning to go to tuckermans that week (a few days on the early side). But last time I went to an Maggot Summit, my brother almost got a felony charge.

Omega actually has some decent prices. I needed a pressure sensor and got one from them for $700, when others were quoting me $2k. Depends on what you need, I guess. The one I used probably wouldn't...

We avoided long weekends for our wedding. Two nights of open bar would have been to big of a hit for the wallet.

Just don't move to Ontario - That's the name of the provincial premier there. I don't think he's too popular these days.

I read a paper about the cooling system design in the GT. The system needed ridiculous flow rates due to the heat, and the need to pump coolant across the whole vehicle, with the the radiators in the...

Try looking for a job when your skills and experience are mainly in the automotive engineering field. Three companies have interviewed me multiple times, turn around and say "hiring freeze!"

Definitely a sexy looking binding. It looks slick and futuristic, where as the G3 onyx doesn't. (A non AT friend of mine couldn't figure out which part was the toe and heel of that binding)

Well today wasn't a good day then. Get 'er fixed back up and back on the ski!

My vice is hookers and blow. I will take a case of vodka in return.

One word of warning: make sure to check that the paper template matches the binding BEFORE drilling the holes. I used the official template for my linken bindings, that I got off their website, but...

I'd like 'em, cause they'd match my MFaGS, and I could use 'em since it looks like I'm headed out west. But since I already know the joy of iggies, and the fact that Brian seems to have more cahones...

Okay, so I'll be at the Atomic thing from the 5th-8th. Seemed like a good deal. Thanks for the adivce.

I'm headed in next week, any update on the conditions?

I've been reading the avalanche posts and the snowpack seems kinda crazy at the moment.
