This jacket is crazy light. Right now is a good time to buy it as well since it’s on sale, I don’t think you’ll find any other Neoshell jackets for just under $175.

Thank you! I had to get one.

How’s the BC shaping up in Northern VT? Any locales seeing better coverage than others? Coming to visit my brother for the holidays and hoping there’s enough coverage to bring the split as well as a few days at Smuggs. We always do Teardrop, would hope to get out to Bolton, the Hump or other places.

For the…

What’s the fit on the jacket like? Comparable to most other Patagonia jackets?

Little bit loose for layering under. Lots of movement room without being baggy on me, I’m 5’10” and 170. Hope that helps!

Does anyone else think that all of these “deep” anecdotes in snow films are getting to be a bit cliche?

Isn’t that standard protocol for anything slightly commercialized in this super fast paced time we live in… Integrity and originality are watered down when everything is POV’d instantly. And biters are quick to the draw when…[Read more]

On the downside, what is it with Burton and their tip/tail clip installations? They are so loose and come open often. :thumbsdown:

That’s seriously still an issue?

Yup, that’s still an issue.

well, sorry for that, a little over the top.
I was in a pissy mood and on a rant.

The prevalent Antiskier attitude back in the day always blew my mind.

After spending some time on my Solution, I have to say that I’m not really sure if I like rockered boards. Or at the very least, I’m not sure if I like the rocker on the Jones. I have a fairly wide stance (~23 inches) and that puts my front foot just behind where the rocker starts. As someone who is used to cambered boards, the…

Any damage to the boards from “falling off the back of a truck?”

Seriously though, you may be a legit and honest person, but you’re going to have to expect people to scrutinize this deal a bit more than others. It’s throwing up a couple red flags for me.

Understandable. If anyone PMs me expressing interest I further explain.…[Read more]

Anyone who says it (size) does not matter is lying, too small is just no fun at all. Only if it gets really, really huge is it going to be a problem at all.

I think everyone will agree upon that, but how we all define to big and too small is what differs.

I would say the answer is: it is relative… to the…[Read more]

I picked this up at the Burton sale over the summer for just $250 on an impulse buy, but now I’m looking to sell it so I can afford a new splitboard. The board is a regular width 158 and the bindings are mediums. This setup is mint if you’re looking for a new solid. Price is firm as can be, as I’d rather keep it than lose money on…

looks like it was pretty damn good.

there’s a very good chance that i know the group you ran into. a bunch of my friends hiked it that same day.

That was probably them. Maybe 8-10 of them total – a few on teles with skins and the rest booting it. We only saw three other people, two guys and a solo guy with dogs.

deep is an understatement for today.

watch out anywhere there wasn’t a decent base before this storm, you’ll quickly find out whatever’s lurking underneath if you aren’t careful.

Agree for both!

Everything off the Jet at Jay was great except a few woods that need more maintenance to ride them this early in the season. Still…[Read more]

the split decision kit also lacks the universal pucks and comes with fixed ones instead.

So it’s a no go. Now to find another discount somewhere that has the uni kit 😥

@grubbers wrote:

very tempted by this. so if bindings aren’t including, does the board at least come with slider plates? or is it the older non-voile system that burton used, which i know nothing about?

non-voile system. I do not know what it would take to convert if that is something that interests you. Everything is in working order as well.…[Read more]
