Skis that I ordered a while back came in last week. Super stoked.
4FRNT is doing 3/4 edges now, at least on the Inthaynes and the Uptrack series, but I assume on other skis as well. Good for them, that is the best edge wrap possible.
Stoked to be riding full rocker too, gonna call these things the "Green Banana".
gapersarefriendsHow do you compare it to your usual north face/patagonia puffy jackets? I have an older strafe one and really considering getting a new one
If you're willing to drop $300 on a mid layer, get the Patagonia Micro Puff. Most impressive piece of apparel I've used in a long time. (that's if you're looking for max warmth/weight)

The evertherm isn't a puffy, nor is it even a micro puff, it's a continuous layer of unbunching down. So there's no cold spots. It's just super warm and incredibly minimal. Is your strafe a parka? Because the evertherm isn't, and to be honest I thought the shell material was not up to abuse. But like I said, I don't own one or have worn one around so my opinion on that could be misleading.

Finally upgraded from my soccer-mom like T4i, and picked up a new to me 7D Mark ii
Lost my good pair of workout headphones while traveling last week, so I ordered up a new pair.
Also, found a like new pair of Salomon bindings for $25 to put on a pair of skis I've had leaning in the corner of my apartment for the last year. Bindings not actually mounted.
And prices are finally dropping, so I picked up a few boxes of plinking ammo. With black Friday sales coming up, this will be the theme to my purchases for the next month or so.
.lenconThose Mavics are so sick. Sport mode on em in zippy, and the video quality is bitchin.
Yeaman. I just hope its able to handle the cold of Finland in Feb. Also need to get my head round flying the thing first too, beginner mode for a while......

My local costco has these at $180, I didn't check them out as far as colors or sizes as I hate patagonia and puffy jackets in general but it happened to catch my eye.
Got my third and final pass of the year to Tamarack Resort in idaho...99 dollar college pass is unbeatable. Maybe some new goggles and i can finally stop spending fucking money
My hestras packed out so damn fast, hope you have better luck with yours. Mine were warm for like 2 weeks and now they're just like wearing a leather glove with no insulation.

We will see....im super stoked on them. I used the same burton gloves for like 10 years...amazing gloves but I blew them out finally 2 years ago. I switched over to Dakine last year and I wasn't impressed even with their high end glove. So I'm hoping these fill the void
Also....its tahoe I don't really need insulation for 3/4ths of the year.....i wore my liners for half my days last year hahaha. Hopefully these puppies hold up when I go home to the actual cold winter though

I rock mine with liners for work and it's not bad unless it's like -30 haha. The leather holds up really well, I've had mine for 3 years and minus the insulation being basically gone, they've held up well to lift maintaining. Don't even need to treat the leather since they get a healthy coat of chairlift grease on them all the time hah

Ya gotta get them kincos.
How much do those Hestras cost?? Must have been a shitty inside to pack out in 2 weeks. You let them air dry every time after skiing?

Kincos rock!! I let them dry as much as possible. Same thing happened to my coworker who got the mitten version. Luckily we both bought them with our gear bonus so we didn't have to pay for them out of pocket
Just spent more than a two months food budget on a wetsuit three days before ski season starts... Ohh well really, really stoked to surf tomorrow and Friday at least!
Probably been posted but I’m stoked I got these, still waiting on a deal to be made with the shop, but regardless they’re mine! Gonna try and treat em a bit better than last years, such a fun ski.
