I is me.....I took them off TGR who it seems took them from NS. Serious about what ? Armada ? I have like 5 or 6 pairs already I don't need any more right now unless you got a pair of ARGs for cheap....best reverse camber/sidecut ski.

The IRS feels that I owe them $$$$$ so any where I can pick up a discount ticket ?

Well it isn't a standard Marker design, the toe piece is actually based off an old tyrolla design. Marker due to there design including the biometirc toe and the way in which the forward pressure intergrates with the heal piece favor release over retention. This is good if your a jong from jersey and ski once every five years but if you push it or ride in alot of fall you die terrain you only want the ski coming off in the worst of situations. Ever notice they are the only company that makes a 30 din binding, essentially they make up for the fact that there design is shit by blowing the din through the roof. For obvious reasons this is deadly for knees. The P series from look was alot different in that it operated almost entirely from the toe piece where as Solly's and the new PX series are from the heal piece. People had problem with Sollys because on anything other than the 916 the suport structure in the heal was plastic and they had manual toe cup adjustment. What would happen is the screw would slowly back out from riding, this in turn would expand the toe cup and remove any forward pressure. It always seemed that this would go down at all the wrong times. Looks have far more points of contact and the ability to pull the toe and heal out around 35mm which is essential when you rip and all you really want is the half a second to get your shit back together and ride on.

Dude do they run Nastar on Saturdays ? I love Nastar I'll be there rocking a brown argyle jacket and brown pants

How crowded will Sno be on Saturday? I would like to check this place out and Bear will be a mad house. I can do crowded but not Bear Creek Presidents Weekend Saturday crowded......maybe I will just go to Burke.

It was the Flying Spaghetti Monster

It is, dimensions don't change but I think they got rid of the variable sidewall....though that may have been last year. pics - Ar6 is third one from the right Sick Sick Sick....I hope I can get them through proform early next year but they may not be the poser forms I have acess to.

Those are the best, its best though when your friend all of the sudden disappears. I heard loveland has been kind of full this year. Propaganda ?

For your weight I think a p18 or 15 may be overkill, though if you have the cash grab them because they won't be around for long and they will last forever. You could go with a 12 or 14 which will save you money since your not a giant. Regardless, the p series is the best binding ever made so you can't go wrong. If you look in the right places you can pick a p10 up for 50-75 and p12/14 100 the P15 or P18 is going to be more costly. Additionally old p18's have no wide break option so you have to bend them, if you a problem let me know and I can help you with this. Also the P series has a tight heal screw pattern skis light fat skis may present a problem but for tonker park skis no need to worry. Ski wise you can fix all the shit if you are really interested, if not rock whatever you can pick up on the cheap and push the savings into a trip. My only advise ski wise is to avoid the invader....not trying to be a dick just saying.

Even if you think touring is for hippies or people that can't afford lift tickets these have to give you a boner. DIN AND DYNAFIT compatable keyed/sliding system blocks, adjustable flex up to 110, 3.8lbs, BOA Closure System and cheap MSR is 700.

Keep the old ones and buy a real pow ski, for 200 - 400 you can get a sick 100 plus ski and not have to sacrifice on performance. EC twins are easy to pick up cheap, look on-line right at the end of the seaon or watch Gear Swap on TGR. I like the AR5/6's for mixed EC skiing and you can pick up a pair of those for like 300 end of the year

It is elsewhere but I don't think Bear has ever made it to April 1 though that would be mad cool if they did

I can wear this one, but gaper day historically is a random day in March

Your 100% right and there is stuff that is 5 minutes OB in the east that will kill you. The Slides, most of Mansfield, Remember Alec Stall ? (that traverse wasn't five minutes but wasn't hours of skining either) Experiance and knowledge can significantly reduce your possibility of being killed or serious injured in an avalanch but never elminate it completley. A gentlemen who I took WFAR with and had Avy 3 level training rode that train to the white room last year. There is alot of BC in the east and though it isn't on the West's quality and scale, slides happen frequently. The whites were going off yesterday additionally I have heard many reports from trusted friends about small slides on Mansfield yesterday. Report on the Stall incident http://www.stowemountainrescue.org/Stall_R...tall_Report.pdf GSS did you ever get out to Bear Pond in the winter when you were at UVM ? I want to check this area out but it may be a waste.

I don't know if there is a direct replacment the Kung Fujas is kind of the new Seth (95 waist) I don't know the waist for the Extreme but the Disorderlylooks closest.
-
The 183 Ice Atlantic Shaman, Vokyl Kuro and the BD Megawatt check out the BD boots too those things give me a boner.
-
Agreed....though even in the ADK and Whites avy danger is significantly lower in general than West Tuxs is probably the large exception to that rule.

I would argue it does work in surfing as out of towners and newbs don't really catch anything. As to starting shit off the top of my head I would say the Bode thread, the gun comment thread, the thread we are currently in, the Sno/Blue closing threads honestly though I meant the starting shit in a light hearted manner. Imagine how boring this place would be if we all got along the whole time and being passionate about things you love is a good thing.
-
Hate works pretty well in surfing doesn't it? .........and this whole thing is nothing compared to surfing and you do start shit all the time.

Word is snow is pretty good as there has been consistent dumps over the last few days, there is a layer of rain crust underneath that caused some problems before last two nights big dump. Hopefully that will be burried and no longer an issue. Stowe is 82 per day though you can get multiday tickets and save a little money. Stay away from benchwoods as that is played out, ask some locals about the chin call, the pipeline and goat chute call, spruce, kitchen wall, notch, hellbrook, taft and then keep the directions a secret.

Idaho rocks and Schweitzer is definitely the best enjoy.

No my name is Steve and I think I rode with you tuesday night old beater Ar5's green pants black jacket.....I'm the old head

Nice!

In the east you have to leave the trail map to get the pow alot of the time but I certainly agree with what you saying. I love VT but I would move back west in a second if it was totally up to me. Its just that I can get to Jay in 24 hours if I know it is going to snow whereas the fact that it is going to snow in UT tommorow doesn't really help me as all the prep takes some time. So you add pow days you would never have because you can go last last minute.
