No basis for comparison to the Plus, as I'm on my first pair of Fritschi this year (the Pro), but I'm happy with their downhill performance. I've only skied them in soft snow so far but felt like I...

SOLD.

(Though I am curious on the logical comment regarding the set up)

Bump.

$450 including bindings and shipping anywhere in 48.

I actually was 'fortunate' enough to break a walk mode at basin last year on the day of OR. The guys from BD hooked me up with what I believe to be the new walk mode (for both boots)...have not had...

Nothing weirder then grown men who fawn over one manufacturer's tech devices.

The Android devices offer the OP a nice set of options. The ipad is nice too. Big boys can make decisions all on...

If you're willing to wait a few months, there will be a bunch of tablet options running Android available. Sounds like Samsung's offerings may be what you want:...

Nice work Glenn....it ain't quite what we were doing last July....but still pretty damn good!

Tastes like shit though.

Nice work Glenn... way to heal up and get out there....

Brian's a great dude, has hooked us up on a couple of great trips, his pricing is super competitive for all types of...

These skis are in like new condition, probably skied about 10 times. Bindings have been skied about 30-40 times, as they were previously mounted on a pair of BD Verdicts. Bindings mounted on the...

Finally did some skiing in the Ogden mountains worth reporting.

On the hike up we noted multiple north facing naturals at about 8000 feet:

They are doing 'backcountry' tours there this weekend. Its awesome, I wish I was back home with gear in hand - huge opportunity to explore the Catskills/Hudson Valley.

Awesome. I learned to ski at 2 years old at Silvermine. Thanks for the memories!!

Me too. Replacing the toes is super easy when you get a hang of it (I go with boot upside down, toe placed on edge of countertop, swift smack at center of boot). Never touch the heels...have had no...

No name was open both today and yesterday afternoon actually. But I'm struggling to accept that anyone ended up in Hells by accident, and certainly not Coldwater. The boundary is well marked and...

Looking for hiking partners for the Ogden area mountains. Ben Lomond area should be good to go after this cycle. I'm located in the Ogden Valley and have flexible work hours, just looking for...

Can't get the tips to dive in deep snow but any further forward would just be weird. They are very fun at this mounting position in just about every...

T minus 8 hours for run #2. I hear it's straighter and equally well manicured. Can't wait.

I've skied that run about 40 times over the past week. Thanks for helping me re-live it again (until tomorrow anyway)!

My opinion is yes...stronger rivets for the buckles, different material for the walk mode pin.

Biggsie - Just re-read your post and have some more thoughts for you. Absolutely get the 29.5. My 27.5s are exactly a 1.5 finger fit and they are perfect as stated above. The liner fit after...

First, to Al - bake those liners. My 27.5 Factors were horribly uncomfortable until I baked them, but were painless as soon as I did. They changed dramatically after being cooked.

That being...

Couch/bed available for a few up the Ogden Valley way.

Welcome back. See you in Hell(s).

I have an old receiver, cd player, and speakers that I don't use. If you care about that part of the loss (I'm sure the ski gear is a much larger concern right now), just PM me and that stuff is...

Don't give up on Ogden. I think you'll see recovery in the Ogden area more quickly then most which should lead to your hopes for the state of the town and for your business aspirations.

But I'm...

Was that supposed to be present tense? Cause if it is, why not live closer to Denver for work purposes, ski the CO resorts/BC when you can get away from work for a day, and take a trip to UT every...

Thank you.

There are pictures posted in the south america thread. Snacktray and I didn't post a trip report from the day with Chris because we didn't want to post a bunch of pictures of him and his family...

Dropping price to $400 including shipping OBO.

Received a little fresh at Portillo last night, though we're on wind hold now...

Considering that the bases need some repair, I will include ground shipping to...

Skied about 50 times last season. Bases have been p-texed/welded a few times in different spots but never any damage to the core of the skis. They currently require some p-tex/base weld in a small...

Been done plenty of times, but not by me, gonna get it in 2010:

Consider Ogden...the young adult passes at basin or powmow are in the 500-600 range, but you can probably find a cheaper place to stay in ogden then just about anywhere near the places above. Plus...

Huh...well, thats not very good news. I arrive on Saturday...

Snow-forecast shows a little shot of something on Friday but doesn't look too promising...

Ah, fuck it, its August, and its...

I know its Accuweather, and I know its just Santiago's forecast...but this certainly looks promising for those of us lucky enough to be heading down to the Santiago area resorts the week after...

Staying in the hotel, see you there. Will PM with hotel room number if I can get it in advance...

Getting closer!

I'll be at Portillo 8-8 thru 8-15, riding Lhasas or Verdicts, Blue Marmot shell, black pants. Will have full touring set up with me. Hopefully we get some turns together.

Thanks for the reply. I called a few dealerships in UT today, explained that I'm purchasing on the east coast (figured I'd get a more honest response if they knew they weren't going to miss a...

Anyone have any insight on driving PZEV cars at higher elevations (above 6,000 feet)? I'm in the process of purchasing a new Outback and am interested in the PZEV version, but will be driving the...

The best part is that this will put some pressure on Delta to lower fares as well.

Tis true...I subscribed to that theory out of NYC for the last few years - flying direct to SLC is easier then driving to VT for the weekend. And it's economically not that far off either (for city...

Just did a 'season almost over / get ready for SA trip' overhaul of the Factors. Stopped by BD and they hooked me up with new walk mechanism set-ups that they say are burlier then the originals,...

Skied Mount Ogden Chute this morning then had Mother's Day Brunch with mom at Basin. Brunch was great, skiing was meh. Already too wet by 10AM and there are significant runnels that made things...
