Hey, I finally got my account to work. I’m interested, I know that jefe guy’s gonna flake. They’re not even his size…

PM sent.

Chronic, good work on the stone shelter. We were up there on Sunday. That sucker’s filled to the brim with snow, minus the blocks from that wall you built.

I’m leaving the keg sled at home this time. I measured a little over a mile of booting from the snow to the parking lot. Strap your board to your pack and don’t put it back on until you’re…[Read more]

It _seems_ like I can skate a bit easier with the board split into skis, and the sides not swapped. That is to say, straight edges on the inside. The AT boots probably help with the edging, too.

I think kick skins of some sort would probably be the best.

See the thread about DIY “waxless” ski scales on splitboards for more ideas.

Pete Alport has some great shots on there for sure. Lots of early season splitboard action.

I like this one down on Sparks, with S. Sister and Broken Top way off.

Looks like it’s a real photo, but it’s been flipped 180. The cone slopes the other way, and the sun looks like he’s riding at dawn. That was messing with the ol’ head.

What kind of splitboarder gets that high at sunrise anyways?

If you’re no hardbootin’ baller like Jefe, there are cheaper options.

I’m riding Scarpa Matrixs with Intuition thermo liners that I scored on Ebay for under $200 shipped.

Add some $55 Voile Mtn. Plates and you’re good to go.

I haven’t modded my old Burton race plates as I like to think I’ll someday use them and my alpine board setup to achieve…[Read more]

Great pics, looks like fun. Really like the pic where the clouds are lifting right in line with the far ridgeline and you can _almost_ see out into the sunny plains.

Don’t forget about Mt. Bailey right across Diamond Lake from Thielsen. There’s a snowmobile road to the top, and Cat Ski Mt. Bailey runs a snowcat up there during the winter. Might be a fun, but $pendy option if you’re road-tripping and the conditions are right. The skinning’s good, too.

Bend’s not much further away, tons to ride there.

Just…[Read more]

We need to do a Chocolate Falls spring ski weekend this year. Sled pulk in a bunch of good eats and drinks, setup a solid camp and hang out for a couple days. May?

DIY scales. Almost too easy…

“So taking the first steps in getting rid of the skins I took the router to the bases of my first skis.
I took a measurement from some “guide” skis and found that the base was patterened 7″ in front of pin and 14″ behind. I set the skis…[Read more]

Check out this routed-in skin section:

“The Atomic Skintec waxless base, which uses inserted mohair strips on the ski base, is extremely effective for all temperatures and snow conditions. It is the high performance waxless base technology for the classic skier, who prefers to use a waxless ski. The Skintec strips are produced by a Swiss…[Read more]

I was just XC skiing this weekend, and had the same thought. I think someone just needs to do it. No doubt there’s not a whole lot of a market for it right now, but as splitboarding keeps evolving, the masses will demand a fishscaled board for their splitboard randonee setups…

Can’t believe there are 60+ splitboard models for sale this…[Read more]

Guess what showed up in the mail last night? Great looking mag, thanks for the heads up!

I liked the way mine worked on my BCA skins that I custom cut for a split. The BCA tensioner looks really similar.

There are lots of ways to hold the tails on, from free to $$$. Voile used to recommend just cutting the skins at the back contact point and not using anything. You can also just do the piece of elastic cord tail clip.

That price…[Read more]

Saw the link on FB, ordered it, looking forward to checking them out. thanks!

I used some old Scarpa Lasers for a couple seasons. CHEAP! They got me into the idea of hardboots.

Switched up to some Scarpa Matrix’s that I scored with Intuition moldable liners. Also cheap ($150, shipped, NEW!…). I took off the power strap and that’s it so far. Nice and light boots.

These boots can be had cheap because they’re a couple…[Read more]

Ha! Thought I could get this thread back on track with some schweet hardbootin’ airs. But nope. It must be a slow Monday at work for everybody.

Indeed, the tindy ’tis not the noblest creature on the mountain. My mention of it being the winning trick was an act of self deprication. Amazingly, wikipedia has it covered for the unaware with the…[Read more]

Tilly Jane 4/20 Hardboot Big Air Invitational. Some softbooter threw some spins, but we didn’t care. Chris was busy working or something, otherwise there’d probably be another RAD photo.

Clearly I won the photo contest with that sweet tindy.
