Kirkwood was deep today. They got 6 open by around 10:45 and then 10 by 11:15 or so. Everything else worthwhile stayed closed. Patrol took a good look at eagle bowl but decided against it.

Route...

Kirkwood it is then...

Watching the snow these days I agree with you...

Former Whistler ski bum here who moved to the bay area a few years ago; now live in the south bay.

I'm debating a seasons pass to Squaw this year and prices go up Tuesday... have heard a few...

potentially XXLs with deadbolt 816s, a very nice 1ski quiver.

I've looked at turntable.fm quite extensively as I consider them the closest competitor. We have a few ideas around how to avoid the legal issues with music sharing, but its a fair point.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Certainly planning on other markets, there are a few I can think of off the top of my head. This is a good test market and an easy vertical to sell into.

Agree...

Certainly what I was going for :P

Been a while since I've been on here.
This was my Canada day project - trying to get some good feedback and I figured this was the best place to bring it.

Fire away.

located in Vancouver and very interested.
have to get rid of 187 XXLs and 190 Gotamas first (doing some quiver thinning). If you are interested in a trade for either of those that'd be sweet. If not...

being out at ubc means i get up to whistler much more than baker but yesterday was definitely an epic day. the friend i was skiing with didn't have avy gear so we didn't make it out of bounds, and...

it was epic up there today. took a few quick point-and-shoots but nothing fancy.
we stayed inbounds as i was skiing with a non-avi buddy, but stability looked better than expected from the tracks i...

a few point and shoots from today.

PM responded - and one little bump.

Looking for something a little more jibby and fun to round out my XXLs for the coming season. Praxis powder boards would be sweet, any reverse sidecut, rocker, etc (think EP pro, 185or195 praxis, 189...

190 without a doubt - they ski short and if you mount them +1 of bootcentre you shouldn't have any problem in the trees.
I own 190s and I'm 6' 170lbs.

Swiss Sport Haus in West Van has good bootfitting
Snowcovers in Vancouver cause i work there now haha :D

never used dukes but i used older gots to tour on - not super light but skins were no problem (bd accessions) and i've actually seen a few people around whistler with the got + duke combo. go for it.

i just put a pair of these on my xxls. bomber binding, and pretty light for a 16 din.

i thought they made them a bit softer and wider?

I'd say the definition of ski bum is that your current situation in life is focused around skiing, which is your primary (and often only) objective, and anything you are doing now is not for the...

186 prophet 100.

does it occur on both toe and heel pieces? just one ski? when did you first notice it? i don't think anyone has had a similar problem, at least none i've heard of. take it to the shop that mounted...

buy the 187. you wont be disappointed.

i have mojo 15s, nowhere near at many days on them. i've heard nothing but good thing though. dunno about the vertical movement, clearly not a good thing, but the heel does have a bit of pivot, so...

Volkl Mantra

the xxls are heavier than the goliaths for sure. for me it makes sense since most of my slackcountry is pretty close by (doa, disease, corona, etc) and i want the downhill performance. it was pretty...

100s because you can still carve them and spin them but they will give you enough float

use a hammer? your fist?
take it to a shop man... punching a boot won't cost you that much, and they'll do a much better job.

ANTs shovel isn't that great for pow.
The XXLs have more of an upturned shovel than the goliaths as far as i know. I was looking at goliaths about a month ago and ended up with a pair of 187 XXLs,...

an idea...

buy ANTs instead?
191 length, 106 in the waist, light and stiff.

post up pics.
im no expert but topsheet chips are usually just cosmetic unless they are so deep that they expose the core.

I think a few mags were selling some so search gear swap. The last pair I saw in a shop was @ Escape Route about 2 weeks ago, but they could still be around.. You could try calling them.

Whistler...

"ok... now what?"

35ft+...?! thats intense brah. you should considered getting spancered...
and remember, it doesn't matter how well you ski as long as your doorag matches your outfit.

had these on my 190 gots this year. gotta say they are a solid metal binding that released only when I wanted it to... and I rode them at din 11.5.
don't let the marker thing throw you these aren't...

I owned 190 gots and have one day on my new 187 XXLs. I'd say pick between these two skis. 183 gots ski too short, and the LPs, from what i've heard, are stiffer and not as forgiving. the XXLs are...

186 LP

and also... search.

Toadman did you ski these on the line?

read more good.

Yeah last May was fun times. The good thing is that with only 7th open up top all the PCs become fair game, and even the long laps aren't too bad since there isn't much competition and the snow...

just got my 187s today. i'm 5'11 165lb, gonna use these as my everyday for w/b. i was going to mount on the line, should i consider +1 for my size? anyone actually tried the 187s forward of the line?

A tech in whistler's glacier shop told me that eric is giving the EHPs an overall softer flex next year. guy could have been full of shit though.
good riddance on the 190s imho. they are basically a...

elevator shaft is a fun line. i cracked a rib there last year. sorry to hear about your injury. hope you heal up fast.

mntlion how many size 26 shells do you have for the impact 10s? i think thats my size. i might be in for a pair, but i gotta do some math first and go see my bootfitter.

whoa.. you quadruple ejected?
thats hardcore.

boots are either too stiff, too big, not fitted properly, your calves are tiny, you are skiing in the backseat... or more likely a combo of the above. solutions:

bootfitting.
booster straps under...

thanks for the feedback guys.
for clarification, visa had put a hold on my card because i bought XXLs from backcountry.com yesterday. two big purchases in the US with a Canadian card in two days, so...

I tried to order a pair of 816 deadbolts from Proctor Jones today. Since they have to ship to Canada I had to do the order over the phone since their website won't allow for international shipping. I...
