If you can find a way to Visp, you can try this place. Gmaps says 4 min walk from the train station.

Good luck!

I got figured out. Had to press down really hard to the latch to secure. Thanks!

I have seen a method similar to the one you’re describing, except there was not cutting involved or hardware modification. It’s called the emergency loop. You take a voile strap, place it about 1.5 to 2 inches back from the edge of the tip, and fold the tip over the strap. A friend of mine, new to splitboarding, has been using it on a set of…[Read more]

I got some bad news about NF3511. The road is gated and appears to have a transformer box next to the road. I’m not sure if someone is planning to develop back there or the road serves as a logging road. A lot of roads in that particular area are gated. I recon’ed the road to Laurance Lake and it’s open. I only saw one camper parked there, but h…[Read more]

I think that might be a logging road and possibly gated. I have to recon that road next time I’m in that area.

Yeah, you can car camp at the Tilly Jane trail head (off of Cloud Cap road) near the Cooper Spur Resort. I have seen it done several time. I don’t think anyone will hassle you there. You may have to compete for a parking spot depending on which day you arrive. People still hike the trail whether there’s snow or not. The road continuing pass the…[Read more]

You can try White River Sno Park off of Highway 35. However, a lot people frequent this park on the weekends when it dumps.

I didn’t understand the huge gap in the middle either for the Rodin system. Their websites tends to put emphasis on the ability ski, tour, and ride in one system. They call their system an “Alpine Split.” I guess there’s a demand to have the option to ski.

So, I ended up returning the Legends and scored a pair of Domain SL this past summer. Northwave customer service appears non-existent for US based consumers. In regards to mositure, never experienced moisture from external elements (rain/snow), besides from sweating. The speed lace system is not that bad compared to BOA’s. The lace system tends…[Read more]

Welcome to the community. We have good group of backcountry enthusiasts here in the PDX area. If you’re on Google Plus, be sure to hit up this community https://plus.google.com/communities/111231294561485200186. You can find local partners there. Hopefully, the temps will start dropping and the snow starts falling soon. Good luck

Right on.

I might be interested, but I’m in Portland. I usually go to Baker for the splitfest, but wouldn’t getting a few more days in. Hopefully, the snow level is good this year.

Sucks to hear you’re leaving the area. You’ll be missed in the PDX splitboard community. Good luck down there.

Almost forgot, I highly recommend someone to bring a latel for scooping out water if you’re staying in the A-Frame. I didn’t see one in the locked chest yesterday.

Just got back from the A-frame today with Corydog and Cole. We were able to skin majority of the steep section of the spur. Snow was softer and colder the higher we went. However, it was starting to get slushy in the tree in the afternoon. Weather is supposed to be sunny and clear this weekend.
