Boy you all really worry about ski choice a lot. Just grab a pair and I promise they'll work and long as you can actually ski. 105mm is good in 0" and good in 40". Just fucking ski.

Had a notion to park at the state line parking lot and skin up towards Oliver to ski something called the Document Shredder which looked safe. Intimidated by the deep snow that two of us would have had to set track in and lack of clarity if WYDOT would have been ok about our parking there when the road was closed.

It was not bad today. A little heavy, but not bad.

I'm just trying to figure it out in case I need to order one.

I think mammut need to be filled. You can get em filled in town though. Call Teton mounteering, they sell them. We were just in there looking at the new packs and talking to guys tonight.

East side BC has been nice the past couple of days. 6k yesterday, 7k today, all untracked goodness. There’s just too many options out here, need more time.....

**SnowStain** · 01-15-2018, 05:08 AM

Damn that looks good. Coming out next Wednesday. As excited as I've ever been for a ski trip.

I'm hoping to get em filled in town, can't fly with a filled one so it's really my only option.

Issue is, it's a used one from a mag w/o a refill kit so I need to find a place that will sell one. Figured I'd tap into the TGR knowledge before giving a few calls.

Yea, Teton Mountaineering is your best bet. There’s also a BC store in Wilson.

Headed up thursday night. Anyone know of a good place to dump a daypack/shoes/lunch near the tram/gondi?

Just grabbed some ice cream at Moo’s and confirmed they fill the mammut cylinders. He said you have to remove the whole valve/gage assembly when you fly so TSA can actually look inside the cylinder. Strange that an ice cream store is where you go to fill cylinders but whatever.

Aren't there coin op lockers near the ticket office, underneath the tram?
