    Hey, Sorry for the inconsiderate question, but with the publisher passing, does anyone know if I order a copy if they will ship?

    Yes.
    Someone has taken over the operations, and the books are shipping.

    Thanks, Dave!
    Looks like this thread brought ONE person out of hiding!

    We’ll be having a book signing/release party on December 13th at Mammoth Mountaineering Supply. 7pm. I hope to see some of you there!

    Thanks all. Yeah, there’s some bad news at the moment. But after I posted that on TGR, I got a few confirmations that books were being delivered. So I’m optimistic that they all went out. I’ll keep you posted when I know more.

    And, yes, I dug through my photo archives and pulled out a few hidden gems. Like bcrider with the sixpack. There’s even…[Read more]

    UPDATE:

    I received an advance copy yesterday, and it’s looking pretty good, if I do say so myself. We’re still a few weeks away from having it in stores, but it’s one step closer!

    Shit.

    Does anyone on here have info on Chris Peters?

    I knew Ian from many years ago, in Vermont. And from that same time/community, I know a Chris Peters. It is a common name, so I’m just trying to figure out if it’s the same person.

    bcd replied to the topic Out of Control in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 years, 4 months ago

    This may not help the heelside edge problem, but in situations like that I often revert to getting on my toe edge INSTANTLY. I feel like I have more control, and I think it’s a bit easier to balance myself and gain purchase on my toe edge.

    If you’re sliding like that and can’t gain purchase, you need to change something very quickly, before you…[Read more]

    bcd replied to the topic June Mountain resort closed next season in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 years, 7 months ago

    Details are still coming out, and there’s a lot of speculation as to what this is really all about. Some seem to think it’s a scare tactic to the town of June Lake.

    A few years ago, management (Mammoth Mountain) wanted to build a hotel/village at the base of June Mountain, and the town wouldn’t allow it.

    So, some people think that this is…[Read more]

    bcd replied to the topic Question regarding pucks nonevolution in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 years, 12 months ago

    Carbon Fiber breaks too easily. It works for certain applications. But the pucks have to withstand a lot friction. I think that would cause carbon fiber to disintegrate pretty quickly.

    Titanium might work.

    Makes me wonder what would be more expensive. CF parts or titanium parts? I just bought a truck, so I’m not interested in learning the answer…[Read more]

    I’ve always wanted to see someone build a refined version of this:


    viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2029

    A simple highback, with toe/heel bails. The ankle strap could be optional.

    I’m a big fan of this idea. It just needs to be stripped down to shave weight. And the boot needs to be closer to the board. The height is the main reason I don’t use them…[Read more]

    Nope. It’s been done a handful of times in the past. Not too many, though, since there’s a ton of luck involved in finding it covered.

    how long is the first part of the road that goes through the slide paths? is it 2 – 3 miles or more like 8 – 9 ?

    2-3 miles sounds about right. Once you hit the big corner below Ellery Lake, you’re pretty much in the clear all the way to the hut.

    bcd replied to the topic tuolumne ski hut in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 12 years ago

    I’ve been out there once. It’s great, but it’s a big gamble. There are only about 10 bunks, and it can fill up occasionally. So that’s a long way to walk just to find out you’re sleeping in a tent. There are rangers that live out there in the winter, and apparently they will enforce the 10 person limit.

    Tuolumne is nice in the winter, no matter…[Read more]

    I was originally planning on getting wicked high on the way there, and then just showing a bunch of pictures of flowers and butterflies. But if you guys are gonna be there I’ll put together something a little more substantial.

    That’s not icing. Icing doesn’t happen in those conditions, and it also doesn’t happen while a binding sits motionless in a freezer.
