A lot of winter camping comes down to how comfortable you want to be which is what will affect the weight of your pack. It is also important to know how warm you sleep. I have winter camped with people where some people are hanging out in their wool baselayer around the campfire while the other people were wearing goose down jackets.

It sounds…[Read more]

im lookin for more people to ride with. My schedule makes for early morning excursions. hit me up for whatever. I’ve got a lot of Bozeman area experience.

Well luckily Spark products are made in Bozeman, MT and they will be able to send out some new touring brackets super fast. I’ve always received great help with their sales department.

If they were made in China they would have to kill the 11 year old who packed them incorrectly. I’m sure that the young shredder who was packing them here in the…[Read more]

Use my spark tail clips on my Unity Whale and it’s never been a problem.

They hook on fine.

I’m lazy and swap my skins from board to board all the time. I’m constantly beating on those tail clips and they have been great.

Waterproof would be nice. Yet nothing is actually waterproof, so I would like it to shed rain and snow well and wick moisture well.

The venting thing is probably more important for me. So I’d like pit zips. The Marmot Stretch Man that I mentioned has pit zips that cut out toward your stomach area for “Core Zonal Venting”. I usually sweat because…[Read more]

Is it possible to overload the facebook page. Like if a couple thousand of us just write jibberish on the page in the same hour?

I think we should try tomorrow at noon pacific time.

If people are down to try leme know so I can bother to log onto facebook and help blow up the page.

How about the weekend of the 23rd or 30th?

It might be cool to get a bunch of people out together for a shred one of these weekends.

History Rock might be a good place for everyone to meet. I would also be down for Beehive.

Thoughts?

Yeah, it’ll be hard to say how avy stability will be until we dig a pit. Might have to ride some low angle stuff to stay safe.

It is getting light around 7:45am now, so you can head out at 7am via head lamp and start getting turns as the sun comes up. Just depends on the objective and how long the approach is.

Are your Cartels mounted on the voile plate interface?

Have you been up History Rock yet? It is a good area to cut your teeth.

I have a few different boards. Mostly DIYs and I rock Spark R&D Blazes.

Not sure what the objective is for next weekend. I have to look at the forecast and see what other people wanna ski. Depending on your schedule we…[Read more]

I was going to start a new thread but I figured this NH one already existed and that I could look for partners here.

I live in Montana and I’m heading back to MA for a week around March 2nd. I have been splitting out here for four years and before that I was an avid backcountry bootpacker in the NE.

I am planning on splitting up Mt Washington…[Read more]

Hey.

I’ve been splitting off and on for four years in the Bozeman area and would be cool with taking a noob on a mellow trip.

What kind of setup are you rocking?

-Jon

Free the heel split for real.

awe man bra! you’re totally harshin my vibe! i’m sure you’re totally from Bozeman dude! you and all the other people from CA with $2000 setups rolling into the backcountry.

it must be hard to find all that free time with your trust fund.

Hey Sam,

we’re supposed to be getting some snow tonight and perhaps more on Thursday.
I hiked up Blackmore last week to just check out the conditions and found great coverage and some knee deep drifts (and a few ski tracks because other people we’re smart enough to bring their sticks).

I’m thinking about hiking back up there with my board at the…[Read more]
