    96avs01 replied to the topic Phantom Slipper in the forum Boots 1 year, 9 months ago

    Looks very intriguing! Sadly won’t be in my near-term future with the wife unemployed and myself partially furloughed. Definitely interested to hear folks initial impressions. Many thanks John/Phantom!

    96avs01 replied to the topic Karakoram Ride Mode 2.0 in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 3 years, 5 months ago

    I’d agree, @russman has been objective in his contributions to this site. One personally may opine that elements of subjective preference have influenced his choice of presentation and comment. But that’s for a separate thread/discussion.

    I’d only offer that there’s no less than three companies moving the needle. Ignoring what Kefler has…[Read more]

    96avs01 replied to the topic Arcteryx Procline, any information? in the forum Boots 3 years, 11 months ago

    Arc’Teryx is owned by the Salomon Group, so I expect the boots are nearly identical.

    96avs01 replied to the topic Backpack for splitboard and climbing in the forum The Gear Room 3 years, 11 months ago

    So you want multi-sport (with boarding emphasis) and minimalist…looking for a unicorn perhaps?

    I’d perhaps take a look at CiloGear stuff and wish you plenty of luck.

    96avs01 replied to the topic Venture 75 MPH Highway Impact in the forum Splitboards 4 years, 1 month ago

    Right on! Venture Divide is definitely the ‘tank’ in my quiver.

    96avs01 replied to the topic Splitboard Backpack Recommendations in the forum The Gear Room 4 years, 4 months ago

    I love Deuter, they carry well for my jacked up back. I’ve got 4 of their packs, but the Freerider Pro 30 would definitely work for what your targeting. It’ll carry solid or A-frame. MH Scrambler looks a little lean in the suspension department. Maybe you’re a ‘light is right’ type guy, but I want something that I know can handle some weight…[Read more]

    I’ll be around Tahoe some of those days, but have to work the 26-28th. 5 three zer0 s!x 3 f!ve 1 s!x n!ne 2.

    96avs01 replied to the topic Amplid Millisurf in the forum Splitboards 4 years, 5 months ago

    Possibly due to more hardbooters with flatter sole profiles, and the newer HB bindings being closer to deck height? I’d love for that number (260) to not be a general target for minimum entry for me in most instances in board selection.

    Arc’Teryx Procline are another ($$$) option not mentioned yet as TLT alternatives.

    96avs01 replied to the topic Overnight Packs, why no good options? in the forum The Gear Room 4 years, 9 months ago

    If you don’t want to show your seamstress badge, I’d look for an older style Deuter Guide 45. And no, mine’s not for sale.

    Jones Explorer 164 x 26.6 ?

    96avs01 replied to the topic Petzl RAD rope in the forum The Gear Room 5 years, 1 month ago

    My back is way too jacked up to consider anything but a dynamic 1/2 rope for what you’re intended use is Barrows. Someone that’s in better health may be able to tolerate the increased force, I’m not willing to even entertain it.

    96avs01 replied to the topic Tech binding leashes – Do you use them? in the forum Bindings 5 years, 4 months ago

    Here’s an earlier thread I started awhile back on leashes and other stuff.

    Long story short, I bought the leashes referenced in the linked thread but haven’t used them. Still internally debating…

    96avs01 replied to the topic Review: Petzl Sumtec Ice Axe in the forum The Gear Room 5 years, 4 months ago

    @HansGLudwig Mostly interested to see the mechanism for the interchangeable axe head/shovel handle. There’s concessions that one makes in any gear choice, this would be no different. I’m less concerned about dropping my axe, I subscribe to the leash/tether crowd. No need to debate that choice in this thread, I’m well aware of the counter…[Read more]

    Interesting, but more intrigued to check out the Tech Shaxe.

    @russman Any updates you can share on the Procline? Also, can you provide context (i.e. have you ridden any other hard boots).

    96avs01 replied to the topic Arc'teryx Proclines in the forum Boots 5 years, 5 months ago

    @jvosburgh Any issues using crampons with front bails given the lower profile of the toe welt on the Procline? Many thanks for your write-up and videos! Keep on shredding.
