I didnt realize you were an Osprey tester and athlete BCR, thats awesome, congrats.

After having worked in a gear store all summer and trying on upteen zillion packs not to mention talking to reps it seems like what people have been saying on here is pretty good advice. Arcteryx and Osprey are the two front runners interms of inovation and desighn as well as just making bomber packs. Osprey tend to have a little bit better…[Read more]

All you fools are missing the point…. smile and have fun while barrying myself up to my face in snow! thats my only goal. 😛

Man… I cant believe I missed a climbing related flame battle… why did yall all have to make peace before I read this thread…. BASTARDS!
-Barret

Yeah…. I tried Telleing for a while… decided to give it up when I fell and after the mayham had stopped I realized that one ski was pointing one way and the other, and my ankle felt like it was doing all kinda things that couldnt be good for it. Figured there had to be a better way to acces the back country… enter the splitboard… and there…[Read more]

All is well and good with the fuck establishment and medals and everything shit… but I meen, why the second to last jump. just throw it on the last one and then when you bust it on your face you can still slide to the finish with the gold.

Thanks for the feed back guys, this is for a project for an entreprenuership class Im in where we are supposed to write a full buisness proposal and this is my idea, hopefully if the buisness proposal goes well I can get it going. Any input that people have is greatly appreciated and I will keep yall informed if things start to happen with it.

It should always be on your body in my oppinion. Getting seperated from your pack is one problem, but extra time it will take you to get it out of your pack if one of your friends goes down and you need to search for them, while it seems short, could meen the difference.

PBR, while a fan favorite, lost our latest Colorado College cheap beer tasting competition. So while it may be in style, doesnt change the fact its nasty :-P. Not saying I wouldnt drink one, but for the money the taste test says that milwaukees best and Natty light are better options, and if you got a littl extra dough then Key light is the way to…[Read more]

NS splits are made by a couple of guys who work for neversummer, I hear they are really qaulity boards but they are constructed with an inner edge and I do believe that they have to be made as splits from the beggening. But you can always saw it yourself.

much earlier then 8 on top of the pass is going to be difficult for me.

Ive had simmilliar issues and found skiing the splitboard in split mode really isnt that hard. I dont Tele turn I just lean back on the heals so they stay put and ski from the bask seet. I think the fact that Im a far better skier then snowboarder helps. Ive also found that using your poles while riding works well. Carrying poles while riding most…[Read more]

Did one of the chutes off Russel down into second creek yesterday. I was in the big one closest to the road but it was pretty fun, a little tracked out. Hopefully the snow pack will sollidify a little between now and then. How is the stuff up the other side of second creek that you are looking across at while coming down the chutes, it looks like…[Read more]
