I got hellbents this season and my brother really wanted a pair of fat pow sticks after trying them. Bought these used but mint condition fattypus alotta's for him.
DominatorJacquesThe thing you hope you never need to use.
I get what you're saying but if people have beacons, then they do need to use them. You definitely need to practice with them, including digging and rescuing every year!

Sure. I'm just not going to that level myself. Getting buried in an avalanche is not my cup of tea. I'm claustrophobic as it is!
anders_aI love binding freedom! I've mounted a few hundred of them now! you get good at it!
do you have proper jigs? if not get them, if you dont have a buddy, get jigarex
Don't have jigs, but I do have a keen eye for precision work and I'll be mounting to existing holes. I'm hoping I can get away with using the drill guide block in addition to re-verification of the existing holes with paper templates. I even went as far as re-drawing paper templates in a CAD software to have finer indication markings when printed, luckily the hole pattern for 22Designs is a dead simple 1.5" spacing between all holes and Tyrolia was easy enough to draw onto a grid with 0.1mm resolution. If I wanna get really paranoid about precision I may even try to get dimensional verification from someone at Jigarex.
Plan is to put inserts in my skis that have holes for both alpine and telemark so that I can swap back to alpine when I'm needing a recovery day, and so that I can swap my expensive telemark bindings onto multiple skis (as well as multiple mounting positions). However upon inspection of my skis, I found what looks like a mounting mistake from the original alpine mount so for those holes I may need to try to find a shop that will let me use their jig for pre-drilling, there is a bit of hole overlap that should be no issue with the larger size outer threads of the inserts, but I need to ensure that my hole locations don't wander.

r00kieFor the first time in my life I actually paid for a season pass instead of working for it. Bgus Basin next year! Might add Indy Pass as well.
Blowgus. do urself a favor and get a tam pass instead. Tamarack employees are so much nicer and they have sick parks. Bogus liftees, upper management, and park crew are all assholes especially the park crew. They’ll pull your pass for basically looking at them wrong

got 110$ off and picked up some shifts for this so hopefully it’s worth it. Definitely a upgrade from my mtn hardware shell that’s older than me.

Someone did try to jack my skis there last Wednesday...
I’ve been using a vest for my entire fly fishing career and feel like it’s time to switch things up so I bought this. Comes in on Monday. Hopefully I like it. Gonna have to change some muscle memory when it comes to grabbing nippers and forceps, etc. but stoked for a more minimalist set up rather than having my vest so cluttered messy.

I think I have 5 fishpond bags now I swear nobody makes bags and stuff like that better than they do. I have most of the thunderhead stuff which is all like modular, it’s super sick. Great purchase for sure!

Vests are for old farts. Welcome to the Fanny pack club.

animatorDo I spy a bad ass glass? If so which weight and what do you use it for and most importantly, do you like it?
I have the river glass 3 weight and I fucking hate it haha. Ive broken 3 of them. Use it for coastals and dollys. Ive fished the BAG in a 8 weight and it was okay. Fiberglass rods just aint it in my opinion. Also haven’t had the best experience with Echo stuff. Just seems to be made cheaply and not made to last past a couple of seasons. Actually hoping to break my river glass this season so i can justify buying another rod to replace it.
awesome condition FKS 185 bindings, WITH skis for $40, kinda just wanted the binders, skis are lol nice, freshly ground, good edges, only a few tip scratches. was very wtf.
Super polite & awesome seller, he was like forthcoming for me to inspect the skis to make sure they were good etc... me beeing like... want bindings! yes :D
I hope Tam can get their shit together. God they’ve had a bad run. What was it - architect or planner was embezzling so the initial village went bust. Then they had new GM who ended up being a diddler. Could be so sick if they get their shit together Heard they got new funding not too long ago.
