    Colin replied to the topic Salomon Malamutes vs. Burton Driver X in the forum Boots 8 years, 5 months ago

    This year’s driver’s are a lot stiffer than last. I got shin bang when breaking them in–first time ever experiencing that in snowboard boots! After a handful of resort days and one tour, they’re starting to feel good and I think they should be good to go for a winter or two. My 4.02 on the drivers, anyways.

    Colin replied to the topic ice on edges in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 9 years, 3 months ago

    I run into this a lot living in the PNW, also riding a venture. Eventually I found an old card of some type (AAA card, credit card, whatever) got the job done. Give the edges a once over, but make sure the hooks themselves are ice free throughout.

    This was definitely one of my favorite new products at the show. Yes, it requires buying a new package. But it’s also cool to see numerous companies working together to bring innovate products to the table. Nicely done, in my opinion.

    I’ve been riding this years Ions as well and honestly didn’t know they had this feature built in. Put in about 7 days on the skin track in them varying from mellow tours out mt baker’s shuksan arm to more involved full day stuff with a camera pack in the Olympic National Park. Didn’t notice a thing with regards to my ankles, they seem to be just…[Read more]

    Colin replied to the topic Anybody in Washington getting slammed right now on Rainier? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 9 years, 7 months ago

    The forecast is probably straight, but getting to those elevations and riding something within reason (e.g. below 25 degrees given faceting/hoar frost over the weekend) is far fetched for big pow. A bit of rain and an avalanche cycle at higher elevations, on the other hand, is what we need…

    Colin replied to the topic Legalize the weed and I'll say thank heavens. in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 9 years, 8 months ago

    Let me preface this by saying I don’t smoke personally. I did, however, write a term paper in favor of legalization at one point in college, but that’s another story… and just finished reading my voter’s pamphlet so figured I’d weigh in.

    From what i understand, you wont be able to cultivate it, at least when it comes to the WA law. Just not…[Read more]

    Colin replied to the topic Further in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 9 years, 8 months ago

    Terje is on the Burton team, sponsored by Burton. Do you think he carried a 2nd solid Burton board around the whole time because he liked the extra weight? Or do you think he was told that he was obliged to ride his sponsors board?

    I know what I think and it’s not the first option.

    Burton makes splits. I think Terje rode what he wanted to,…[Read more]

    Colin replied to the topic What camera?? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 years, 1 month ago

    have either of you actually held one of these? Sounds rad, but most 4/3 bodies so far haven’t quite lived up to the hype, at least for shooting action. Would be very interested in getting my hands on one if the performance was there… hmmm…

    Colin replied to the topic Avalanches Death and Exemption in the forum Avy Discussion Forum 10 years, 4 months ago

    Regarding the ‘considerable’ danger rating, I stumbled across this on the avalanche.ca blog: http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/bulletins/forecaster-blog. It seems to make a lot of sense–yes, we deal with considerable conditions most of the time there is new snow and the majority of our time in BC probably involves considerable rating on at least one…[Read more]

    A message I get from the original post, is to not get overly confident from a perceived “expert halo” (AKA a false sense of security due to experience), which can increase risk tolerance, and lead to a bad scene.

    Colin replied to the topic Mt Baker video – Jan 14, 2012 in the forum Avy Discussion Forum 10 years, 4 months ago

    I believe we watched this one happen from the lift. It’s a one-turner into a terrain trap that slides regularly and there were many, obvious, natural releases that day on similar elevations/aspects, so we chose not to ride the backcountry… plus inbounds was good. As he dropped, we all voiced that we thought it was going to slide. Questionable…[Read more]

    If the snow is there, I’m a fan of the bitteroots, as well… a bit west, but worth checking. Resort days at lost trail can be pretty rad, too.
