Maybe UCL is playing up his illness for dramatic effect, but my first thought was wtf are you doing hiking deep into the BC being that sick? Sounds like a SAR recipe for sure. You may have just as well fallen in some ice and needed to be thawed out by scientists thousands of years in the future. Anyway, cool trip and way to power thru it. I would have hunkered into fetal position on my couch for sure

It was definitely up for internal “mental” debate the entire first day whether I bail. Definitely a struggle the first day, but the rest I gradually got better. Basically it was one day of misery then 4 days of just moving much slower than typical and maintaining a steady diet of sudafed, Tylenol and drinking a ton of fluids.

So, are you going to bother with Dynafit, or just take the weight reduction of your new Voile bindings?

Ha! I can’t seem to make it through a 5 day trip without some gear failure. Over the years I’ve found these trips tend to bring out gear weakness. Fortunately Enginerd’s and my MacGuver skills have improved in parallel. Planning on adding hose clamps to the repair kit (which right now is duct tape, zip ties and voile straps). Hose claps weigh nothing and you can actually ski with them around the ski too.

I missed this until now, but I’m glad I caught it. Your TRs always deliver.
