Lately I have been using the canon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 as my one lens quiver on the 70D. It’s a nice range for BC riding and pretty sharp. I’ve gone away from using a two lens approach. Just too much of a pain. I’ll use the fisheye to change things up every now and then. Especially if we’re not doing big terrain. Have to have your subject…[Read more]

Looks like they are recalling the new Carbon Fiber Whippets.

This sale came across my email box:
http://store.allspeed.com/dynafit-tlt5-mountain-at-ski-boot-2012-2013/
$449 for new TLT5’s and they have some normal sizes as well.

I’ve had that happen with my old G3 skins as well. A little brake cleaner on a paper towel takes the skin residue of the base pretty easy. I haven’t noticed the brake cleaner do anything bad to the base, but use at your own risk. Also, keeping the base waxed helps minimize the residue sticking.

So who’s going to drop 2 grand and invite me along for a hut trip? HFT? Splittrippin?

Terrible! Always enjoyed her TR’s and stoke. Sad day for sure.

I have sz10 Malumutes and 28 TLT5s and I’ve rode my 163/25 Zephyr +20/-5 with no problems.
I demo’d a 26 Zelix and could feel a slight decrease in edge to edge quickness as well as a decrease in hard packed side hilling in tour mode.
Like Barrows said, are you looking for quicker turning or more float?

I think the 27s would work for you. I wear a 9.5-10 shoe and I like my 28 TLT5s.
Also, a lot of people like the Intuition Tour Pro liners. I think I’ll be getting some this year.

I watched an interview with him about the new 32 partnership. They just slapped his name on a current 32 boot first this first year. That’s pretty lame and makes JJ look a bit like a sell out. Hopefully they put out something worthy next year.

I used CAMP XLC 490 aluminum crampons on my sz10 Malamutes. They worked well for a light weight setup.

Awesome trip and pics!

Bad Ass!!

Yep, last couple days I couldn’t sign in on any of my devices. Cleared cookies and it is working now.

Awesome work incorporating the dog into your crossing.

Looks like the Venture crew has stayed busy. The deck with the owl on it looks to be the same artist who did the skylar.

Yeah same artist. They need to use her more.

Damn, that looked so good!

The event, conditions, people, terrain, pics, food, beer… you had it all! :thatrocks: :thatrocks: :thatrocks:

Remember when you were out here for SIA and I told you you should come back out for the splitfest?
Told you so!

Great job with the event once again you guys!
Keffler, HfT, Summersgone and I got an early start on the fest. The snow the week before left for some great conditions for the couloirs. The whole week turned out great with blue skies and corn by the end of the trip.
