Had fun on Leavitt today, despite a slow trip up, and snow that was a bit on the too soft side as a result. Skied right side of the Y with a buddy for his first "real" couloir ski descent. Overall a...

Kirkwood was great Saturday. Was expecting terrible crowds when the the chair 6 lot was almost full before 8:30, but then no one else really showed up... Now I just need to repair the core shots...

Loctite 425 (Cyanoacrylate) is supposed to be kept refrigerated, but NOT frozen: http://www.loctite.co.th/tht/content_data/Loctite_Shelf_Life.pdf
Either way, loctite usually specifies 12 month...

Bring along a tele skier. You'll be laughing at them so hard it will seem like fun.

Tallac would be a lot of work right now... And the skiing below 8k or so is going to be pretty forgettable (or unforgettably miserable depending on your disposition).

It's too bad we've come to that though. Figured there would be some nice stoke, since it's now finally ski season! Guess it was too wet for the cameras to come out... No shortage of casual racism,...

It should get better for us... For those guys in the Rockies, sometimes it never gets better.

On the plus side, this is still a better start to winter than two years ago when the best option for winter entertainment at new years was ice skating on Tenaya lake...

Yeah, google investigation reveals that the siliconized stuff works fine. Will give it a go here shortly...

Interesting- I was about to do some touch-up with paper bag method, but will try to pick up some parchment paper instead. I'm assuming the non-stick baking type with silicone on it or whatever is no...

Only thing I'm aware of is adjustment plates for racing style tech bindings. Doubt that helps you out...

These are now sold, thanks everyone.

Brakes 130's thanks for the reminder on that detail...

Picked these up last spring for "cheap" but I don't really need another alpine binder, and they're a bit to expensive to leave sitting around, so I'll pass them on for what I paid.

Kiwi green...

Will use this opportunity to recommend the drill block Jon sells. Really easy to use, and feel like I get better mounts with it. The couple I did before I got it were fine, never had any actual...

You are right on about Li and Li-ion batteries actually being quite good at cold. They are pretty much the low-temp champs capacity wise (at least they can be). Not to say that they don't lose...

I think that the problem is that the danger rating remains mainly a mix of probability and consequences, which may not be all that helpful if conditions don't really allow you to assess the risks of...

From my experience with a 24.5 boot, even the half-size liner was significantly shorter than the boot shell- ie, the shell fit looked like a good to borderline too large fit lengthwise, but the liner...

I really hope I don't have to watch any time-lapses of skiers packing their bags this year. But I probably will...

Also of note, just found out a few days ago that you can get free shipping by using their iPhone app. Normally avoid these sorts of crap apps, but it can be combined with the 35% off deals, which...

With math ability like this I definitely trust your knowledge of organic chemistry!

Sub 100mm skis on TGR, are you joking? I haven't skied the Tychoon, but was seriously looking at it for a while. Found something comparable for cheap though and jumped on it. Especially the tour...

FYI, you may be able to get an out of warranty replacement from Apple. I think it's $150 for a 4. Just bring it in to the store, tell them you got it wet and they'll hook you up with a refurbished...

Hmmm, apparently they've been up over a year and only 4 people have low-balled him so far! Should have tried craiglist, would have gotten that much business in an afternoon.

Note on steripens- This is my go-to treatment method for the Sierra Nevada. However, my buddies and I have found the optical version (with an LED sensor) to be more reliable than the dielectric...

Check out the OR Trailbreaker. My favorite pant for all things that involve snow and heavy breathing. Has built-in, but removable gaiters, and small grommets on the cuff as well. The bottom of the...

You could knead one like this...

Mounting screws for the standard dynafit (vertical) & radical are the same width mounting pattern. I believe heels are exactly the same, and the toe in the radical is 4 screws with a slightly longer...

Lassen was nice last weekend. Ended up at the south-end, and have to agree that without the road open that's the way to go for hiking the peak. Was a nice long slog on the road to reach the summit,...

According to the old google it's 2 hours from the south entrance, I'm sure it's not that much more if you don't drive all the way up to the closure on the south side. I would have preferred the north...

Looks like there is still a way to go before they get things cleared up to the TH on the south side:

Well, they got it open first weekend in May last year, so that's what I'm hoping for again this year... I'd also be surprised if it was before that though.

Back to normal here now too. Pretty sure it was just an error that popped for a while. The one good thing about low snow years... Earlier road openings.

BA was the exact same way early last year, trying to be optimistic during the worst start to the season, well, ever. The old "possible change in 10-14 days" means we're skunked out as far as the...

Saw that on the Caltrans page this afternoon and got excited for a second until I remembered it's still early April... Does their site usually not list any info on the closure? Either way thanks for...

This point got me thinking... Beacons have the CE mark on there, which probably means they are subject to the European standards for EMC/EMI, which are usually fairly robust (FCC by comparison...

Yeah, that was officially the end of my day. My poop smelled like hops this morning, haha.

Mt. Tyndall, I believe...

Well, we had lots of crust, and little dust. Saturday skied better than expected though after it was raining Friday night!

As far as tips... Well depends on your group, but I easily could have...

When are you going? I'm headed up this weekend, but this is my first trip. I have heard that it's pretty well outfitted in terms of cookware, but other than that you're mostly on your own. Temps in...

I think my educated guess on interference from stuff a couple days ago was "a foot or two" of distance and you'd be fine. Nice to know there's at least some possibility I know what I'm talking...

Or some more stoke from last weekend! dhklauer on another line at the wood.

The short answer to this, and to almost all hypothetical EMI questions is... maybe. In this case, I think most of the interference from other devices is limited to a radius of foot or two. However,...

Had to roof-rake the house growing up in Minnesota, even though it doesn't snow all that much there... But it's really cold so what does fall would stay up there most of the winter if not promptly...

Comments disabled. Probably out of respect for those who at least were willing to turn over the footage, since I can't imagine the youtube collective being very polite about this one. Very fortunate...

That sucks. Burger lounge was my favorite 2000 calorie+ meal joint in south lake. Guess I'll have to stick with drinking the calories after long touring days for now.

Thanks for the responses. Think I'll go same-size route since it's not a particularly tight fit. I do have pretty skinny feet too. Now just have to decide which liner to pull the trigger on. Will let...

Well, I have recently scored a great deal on a new pair of TLT5 shells that need new liners.

Question for those of you that have dropped intuitions in these- did you size up the liner? For what...

The standard response to this question should be to refer to this thread.

Also, you can search the forums with google.

A sign that I need to do more BC skiing...
