He has links in the beginning of the trip report to past descenders. Ross P, Skye, Hummels, Dan Helmstadter.

-8 is the sweet spot for me, fixed the things I wished were different. Dead easy to stand in a neutral stance and carve or pivot now. At -10 I had to consciously change my stance to pivot in a...
Yes, the markings are on the underside of the abdomen. It’s likely a female, don’t pick it up

Yeah, like 15k of vertical and that steep of a line solo,over exposure and waaaay back there.

For me it’s not about my desire to get down the line but about not killing another person.
I’m sure it’s common practice in some places. I try and avoid others because managing my risk is hard...
Has anyone watched Killing Eve? It’s really great, well cast. Dark, funny and it keeps surprising me

If I see too many cars at a TH I’ll usually go elsewhere. If I see a well used skin track I’ll go the other direction. It’s the unknown ability and behavior of random people in the backcountry that I...
Definitely the 177. Curiosity got the better of me and I moved the bindings to -8. I’ll report back tomorrow on how it changes the feel. I ski my Renegades and Ravens at -8 and love them there. It on...
Seems pretty normal from my observations of people in the backcountry

See my post above. Changed my perspective about avalanche trauma and most of the people in our small community of backcountry skiers.

I think my favorite ski without metal that was stiff, damp and stable was the G3 Reverend. I’m sure there are others

No, just the people that are worried someone will think that they’re conservative/MAGA/white nationalist. Who cares? Fly it or don’t it doesn’t matter.
The funny thing is that most of the...
I could see that, although they did ski the same slope above the exposure prior just didn’t hit the trigger. Personally I don’t think I would be comfortable skiing above that exposure, any avalanche...
The last several posts sound like a bunch of MAGAtard boomers ranting and seeking validation. Who cares what anyone thinks about the flags you fly?

I know someone that was killed in an avalanche, he had his leg torn off at the hip joint and eviscerated through the wound

Interesting, I wonder what the intent of the article is. Just a human interest piece? It’s certainly not aimed at this audience

^Did you ever ski the original Nobis Inspired? The 88 underfoot 188. Probably not as stiff but just super versatile on and off piste. Your description sounds like it.

Start with the cage in the low position and no cable tension. Adjust the low limit screw so the chain doesn’t rub on the inside of the cage and the chain doesn’t derail to the inside. Tension the...
One of the reasons they do nerve blocks before surgery is that there is some evidence that disrupting the pain channels before cutting makes the pain less severe.

How old are you now, around 55 iirc? If you quit your job you can take distributions from your 401k penalty free at 55 1/2. That could bridge you over until you find new work.

I’d agree that they require a specific technique but that doesn’t change the fact that they ski everything well if you can ski that way. I would say they float really well for a 104 underfoot ski...

That’s why I would propose no income tax for low income people. We just need to decide what threshold that would be. Most households that have an income lower than $50k don’t pay much if any income...
