I’m 6’3 as well and was just checking, what I’d buy if my Prior Spearhead XTC would disintegrate, as I’ve been riding it since 2012 already.
Thing is, it would be the exact same board I’d order.
I.e. a Prior Spearhead 178, as I also like to charge and the board gives me a really solid feel. At the same time it rides “survy” and fun due to its…[Read more]FloImSchnee replied to the topic Karakoram Ride Mode 2.0 in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 4 years, 5 months ago
Looks nice indeed! Also the strong board connection.
Karakoram bindings would definitely on my short-list, if they wouldn’t cost TWICE as much as Sparks. (at least here in Europe)
I don’t get it.(and I know that there is a cheaper model now, but this is much heavier than a Spark Surge or Arc)

I’m afraid, yes.

You could simply use crampons with baskets front and rear and continue using the Imperials.
(btw: for splitboarding I would only consider lightweight aluminium crampons)
FloImSchnee replied to the topic Which bindings for new beginner – Union Expedition or Volkl Splitec alu in the forum Bindings 5 years, 3 months ago
Spark (new or used, any model) or Voile Lightrail.
Lighter!

I also wouldn’t want 5-10 minutes for my partner just to drink.
You for sure lose more time by melting snow to drink it, as for the additional effort for 0,5-2 litres of water in your backpack.FloImSchnee replied to the topic Ultralight Splitboarding – Save kilograms or pounds and perform better in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 5 years, 4 months ago
As I just destroyed my old BD poles, I was delighted to read of the Locus Gear CP3 poles. First time, I see actual weight savings from using carbon on poles…
(except for Z-folding poles, which I however don’t like, as I want to attach the poles to the backpack on the outside)Too bad though, the CP3 poles aren’t available in 140cm or 145cm…[Read more]

Too bad they still don’t offer wide* models…
*wide refers to 270mm waist IMO.

And I would love to have Dual Boa on my Fitwells, and the thermo liner of the new boot.

Great stuff Mansi!
And what an awesome last tour of the season!FloImSchnee replied to the topic Snowboard Boot Crampon/Ice Axe in the forum The Gear Room 7 years, 11 months ago
Same here.
Using either Austrialpin Aluminium Crampons or now more often Camp XLC 470.
And as axe: K2 Shaxe or Edelrid Race.FloImSchnee replied to the topic How wide can you stretch/punch the forefoot on Dynafit tlt5 (Or DYNA Race). Does in the forum Boots 7 years, 11 months ago
My TLT5s have been made approx. 5-7mm wider in the area of the forefoot.
Bootfitter said, he also once punched TLT5s out even 10-15mm…However, this guy really knows what he’s doing. Had my boots there for several days to let the material “learn” its new shape over a longer time.
Don’t know in detail, how he did it.FloImSchnee replied to the topic Maximum slope with a splitboard in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 8 years ago
Agree basically, but I even trim the skins so, that only edges are showing, and the entire base is covered. Skins need then to be applied carefully, but it definitely helps.
Oh yes!
And most importantly: you have best grip when it matters most: during a kick-turn.Always keep in mind when skinning steeps: weight your heel!

Rather go for a curved one, like Camp Corsa Nanotech (if should be light) or Petzl SumTec Adze (if it shall properly bit in blue ice as well)
Reason: more space for knuckles and more bite when holding the axe at the shaft below the head, when climbing up a couloir.

Oh yeah, really interesting stuff!
According to a first test I read, grip in soft snow was even better than with standard skins, and glide is supposed to be superb.I’m curious concerning the Profoils’ weight. (my BD/Voile nylon skins weigh around 750g together…)
