Backland XTD seems promising, same fit as Hawx supposedly. My skinny ankles like those for an inbounds boot.

Clear Creek scour project?

Shhh wife and I skied plenty of untracked until 11:30 yesterday before calling it. No lines other than 1 at opening.

I have a pair of the Recons that I wore last spring in the Cascades and on a few warmer tours in the CO Rockies so far. They are REALLY thin but held up to me falling on my ass a few times last year...

Bump for price drop, how about $175 to your door? If that is off PM an offer if interested.

Any skinny-ankled folk try the Roxa RX Tour? I’m in the F1 now but get heel slip despite trying all the usual remedies. I also have a spoiler to take up space and still have the buckled power strap...

Sold to Viva, thanks!

Enjoying some Plum Pikas on the everyday driver (Hyper V6). Feel pretty bomber. I added the brakes for convenience, but they’re pretty flimsy so doubt they’re good for much more than making...

I read that report and my immediate thought was: isn’t that the same transition spot that killed the solo splitter when the face ripped a couple of seasons ago?

No relation to seller..might be worth a shot?

‘17 with 65k on it. Seats cracking and shifter trim splitting here too. Otherwise I love the car. Sometimes in sport mode it feels like the transmission/turbo lags a bit.

SAR just rescued someone from the top of Nitro on 12/23: https://classic.avalanche.state.co.us/caic/obs/obs_report.php?obs_id=73072

Doesn’t say if solo or not, but I’d assume so. Curious if the...

Buy some skin cheat sheets or use parchment paper and iron.

I have Voile Ultravector in 177cm located in Denver. One mount for Dynafit Radicals at 307. Used a season, no core shots. PM for pics.

Price is right but those are heavier than my daily drivers (Hyper V6).

Anyone looking sell skis in 78-85 width and 170ish length from their quiver? Interested in something on the narrower side for schussing around early season and later spring.

Fabric is about as pliable as a thick soft shell. Breathes quite well. In the PNW I’d skin with a tech tee and the shell comfortably. It’s definitely not a warm shell.

Anything Polartec Neoshell…I’ve had the Rab Neo Guide ever since my Knifeblade fell apart in 2015 or 2016. It delaminated at the pack contact points and started wetting through so I warrantied it for...

Would you sell just the Plums?

Looking to replace my Rab Neo Guide this season with another Neoshell jacket. That blurple Antero is calling me. I’m 6’ and 160lbs, prefer it to be somewhat fitted for touring. What size am I?

This. Prevalent in climbing too. These folks aren’t professional-calibre athletes, they’re an extension of the marketing department. I guess I’m not the target market though.

Defending shysters to feel better about their own warped view of the world. All while bitching about inflation, labor, and supply issues. Fuck you, I got mine.

In these cases was the money...

The rub is this is a federal contractor playing the set aside game, liquidating the corporate balance sheet for personal BS all while wanting more bond credit to pursue that work. It doesn’t work...

I have a client who received two PPP loans and significant ERC funds every quarter it was available. They reported an operating loss in 2020, with PPP forgiveness and ERC money resulting in positive...

Gore-Tex strong-armed brands into dropping Polartec options is what happened. My Rab Neo Guide is still going strong.

My wife’s hands are still too small for these. $OLD. 406377

I have a 183 Corvus w/ Pivot 15 GW’s listed. One mount at 315. Glass half full/empty: I have with me at Big Sky this weekend, depending on the rock situation I’ll give them a tune and lower the...

Nah they’re skinning Silver Fir with double whippets in hand, no pick cover while the chair is spinning. Wish I were joking…think they were QST’s though

Sounds promising. In those conditions I’m not sure much helps other than slowing down and picking turns but my current ski is a noodle and gets kicked around pretty good. I’d probably be looking to...

Anyone have some time on the Woodsman Tour 102? Looking at it as my one and only touring ski for the PNW to replace some Voile Vectors that I feel are too noodle for the choppy firm conditions I’ve...

SW face of Lichtenberg was nice and smooth up top yesterday. That quickly gave way to variable conditions into trees then full on refrozen tree bombed survival skiing exiting the drainage.

Indeed, she has wheels!

Size medium mid weight longsleeve capilene base layer w/ thumb loops, never worn. Size medium short sleeve capilene, worn once but too small. $20/each shipped or buy both for $35 shipped.

402173...

Prefer local Seattle area sale but I’ll ship if we split the cost. Padded double ski bag with wheels from Select Sportbags. Fits skis up to 190, really good padding and straps. Bought two of these to...

I skinned a few laps at Hyak early afternoon with 100 of my closest friends after Summit’s twitter feed said chair 2 wouldn’t open today. I didn’t dare venture off piste with my little uphill sticks,...

I’m another TLT6 hold out because my fit is dialed and the shells are in good shape. Do the ZGTP’s really tour as well?

Edit: If the F1 XT skis like the TLT6 sans tongue that might be the one.

Their website:

All areas at The Summit will remain closed Saturday, January 8 and Sunday, Jan 9 due to I-90 extended closure. We plan to re-open Monday, Jan 10 pending the status of I-90, but may...

I just reglued my 8 year old Ascensions. Took about 1:15 and required an tube of gold label, old iron, parchment paper, old scraper+ razor, and some cardboard. Pretty simple.

Wildside sure was good this morning. Less good were the folks traversing unpredictably across the face.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Going to skin a bit then ride the chairs until 11 or so. Black/pink Loveland beanie and blue jacket. I’d be stoked to meet some folks to get a lay of the land.

I have Wednesday 12/15 off and planning to skin central or west before the chairs turn. Have a pass so may stick around for a few laps if it’s not a cluster. I’m also watching weather and MRNP’s...

Masa followed by drinks at the Duck next door is the move.

Edit: the taco truck at the Chevron on Gilman and Front is also decent.

Have some Solly branded Shift 10’s with 90mm brakes I’d let go for $300. My wife did 3 days on them. No issues, we’re just swapping for Dynafits. Located in the Seattle area, PM if interested.

Damn that’s a sweet ride! Too bad fat and slow is more my speed these days.

Love this thread.

Relatives have been waiting on a custom Sprinter from Sportsmobile for a hot minute. They NEED AWD to get to those gnarly backcountry spots but will require suspension work to...

Do it, Loveland skied great yesterday.

Haven’t received anything yet, but FYI I’m around today and tomorrow then gone for a week. I can make a hand off anywhere within reason.

If it’s early June, hit me up! I’ll likely still have them. Targeting early June move.

Circa 2014 Voile Chargers, 181cm 112mm underfoot, white top sheets. One mount for Dynafit Radicals @ 317 BSL. A few base repairs and some chipping but all in all good shape. See pics, they capture...

I hit a deer with my old Jetta and per insurance the body shop tried to use after market grill, headlamp assembly, etc. Apparently after fucking around trying to make it all fit for two days they...
