An update to my first post in this thread.

Spark did send a a replacement Magneto baseplate for my first problem (pin moved on front foot/left ski baseplate), although it took very close to three weeks to arrive. All is good so far with the replacement after five days of touring.

However, I had a problem with the baseplate of the second of my…[Read more]

Awesome!

Just wondering, did you guys do a bunch of research about RVs? Where to rent, best price, best make/model?

I want to do essentially the exact same trip next winter and would love to hear about any thoughts and insight you have

Thanks for posting

Thanks for posting the photo Montoya, that is exactly what happened with my binding/pin. Did you find it took at lot of force to smash the pin back into place, and also find that once back in, it’s now very much prone to moving again. That was my experience. I was really surprised to find that it had moved in the first place, and then just as…[Read more]

I filled out the warranty form on their website on Feb 10, someone got back to me Feb 12 saying they’d send a new baseplate, but I haven’t received any tracking/shipping number yet, so not sure when it will go out, or when it will arrive.

In my email I asked them; any ideas how that happened, any idea how to prevent it from happening, is this…[Read more]

Hi Burton and Philip (and everyone else) – please have a look at a new thread I created to discuss Sabretooth crampon problems viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16586

Don’t want to take away from this thread talking about tesla system pin problems which is a much more serious problem in my opinion. Sorry to have hijacked this thread in the first place

the rod that slides into the bracket (not the rivet) was the problem with the Sabretooths, but I moved that over to another thread

I have a similar type problem – out on Saturday, probably my 10th day of the year, with my Magnetos.
Don’t know how to post a picture, but I found the pin under the toe ramp moved “in”, preventing the toe ramp from locking down in ski mode, and preventing the binding sliding onto the pucks in ride mode.

A little concerning given the problems…[Read more]

Hey now!

I don’t really know the area at all, so have been looking around online for info and came across this extremely well put together website with an e-book and great kml file – http://rogerspass411.ca/

where do you live?

I’ll take the Mediums – will send a pm

Wow! Sounds like you guys did an awesome job gathering up sponsors – hope you raise a tonne for the NWAC. I know I’ll be buying a bunch of tickets. Thanks very much for organizing this event.
What time does the raffle start? Can you tell us a little more about the details – will someone from NWAC or one of the sponsors (or someone otherwise…[Read more]

Good thread.

I like acronyms, since they’re easy to remember. ALPTRUTH is the one I always think of because I always carry an avaluator card in my pack. The Avaluator system was developed by the CAC

A – avalanches – are there signs of slab activity in the area within the last 48 hours
L- loading – was there loading by snow, wind, or rain in the…[Read more]

Three of us are looking to hook up with a group that has some local knowledge for a tour on Friday. Anybody have plans yet? We’d love some beta on where to get some good snow if freezing levels are high.

We’ll be crossing the border at Sumas Friday morning and can meet up with anyone will to have us along with them on Glacier or at the Baker…[Read more]

Anybody touring on Friday? Looks like I might fly in on Thursday afternoon.

I’m definitely around. Are you flying into Seatac or Bham? PM if you need a pickup from the airbirdport!

Monica and I (and maybe a few more Vancouver area folks) are going to be touring Friday and would love to meet up with a group for a…[Read more]

Climate change BS is just another political agenda driven by politicians to line their pockets.

Really? As far as I can tell, climate change/environmental awareness/environmental responsibility are all about as low as you can get on the agenda of any significant political party in North America. I’m having a hard time thinking of a…[Read more]

I’m in. I’m not available Sat the 19th but am free before and after. I’m game for riding anywhere from Coquihalla to Duffey and will happy go where the group decides. From a budget perspective I’m more inclined to hut/camp/cheap motel and touring vs Whistler accommodation and one-up passes, although I could certainly afford one day in the slack…[Read more]

Great report from close to home – well done!

Tyler beat me to it, but I basically have the same idea as he does about getting in touch and touring together. I’m in the Vancouver area and am available mid-week and weekends. Would love to check out Keith’s Hut if you’re up for another trip there. Been touring with skiiers on club trips alot and…[Read more]

An update to my original post at the top;

Also considering leaving Vancouver area Thursday after work, driving to Revelstoke and getting a cheap motel there for the night. We’d ride at the resort Friday and leave just in time to get to Roger’s Pass on Friday evening in time for dinner and the Park’s Canada permit presentation. That would leave a…[Read more]

Are there any female splitboarders planning on attending? I had an inquiry from one worried she might be the only one….

My girlfriend is planning to attend – we’ve already got our accommodations booked and are really looked forward to this. Neither of us have been to Roger’s Pass before, so we’d love the chance to tour with…[Read more]
