    jcbackcountry replied to the topic Has anyone tried the Strappy Straps? in the forum Spark R&D 7 years, 9 months ago

    Good point Chef_Ben, I do have a few spare voile straps. I’ll give them a try.

    Still looking for an answer to Strappy Straps – sold individually or in pairs for $20?

    jcbackcountry replied to the topic Has anyone tried the Strappy Straps? in the forum Spark R&D 7 years, 9 months ago

    Hey folks, quite questions. Are these sold in pairs or are they $20/strap/binding?

    I keep seeing them as Strappy Strap or Strappy Straps and I can’t figure out if they are singular or plural. I’d hope you get 2 for $20 but wanted to be sure before ordering them. They seem like a good idea in tougher travel conditions.

    jcbackcountry replied to the topic Rider down – news reports Liz Daley killed in avalanche in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 7 years, 10 months ago

    Absolutely devastated by todays news, but this one really hits home. Liz was a friend, we met at Wheeler Hut (Roger’s Pass) just last winter, we kept in touch and I rode a wave of her endless stoke all winter/spring while she shredded Gnar in Cham/Europe, PNW and while guiding on Denali.

    I can’t describe in words how much energy and enthusiasm…[Read more]

    jcbackcountry replied to the topic It's Always Sunny in Pemberton, BC in the forum Trip Reports 9 years, 8 months ago

    Hey, coverage to the highway is quite good (we were in the western cayoosh, eastern ranges up there will be drier). We also skied primarily north and east aspects, though windscouring was pretty non-evident to ridge tops (all aspects were pretty similar coverage wise.

    There was sizeable surface hoar everywhere and I suspect it got worse earlier…[Read more]

    jcbackcountry replied to the topic Southern Hemisphere's Snowiest Locale? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 years, 3 months ago

    Ummm, I think you mean something more like 15m.

    On average, the upper Franz Josef Glacier gets almost 14m (45ft) of snow every year! The upper catchment area, or nevé, of the Franz Josef Glacier is about 20km2, so it’s a pretty big area for snow to accumulate.

    Yah wow, it was a good day to put up Christmas decorations! Grey Cup tomorrow, the backcountry calls, but I’m screening my calls until stability heals itself a bit. Still, great start to the season, gonna be a fat ass base built by the time we hit December 1.

    To clarify, the 2 – 2 for 1’s (1 for me, 1 for my gf, but add up to two half price days on WB) was from the Warren Miller movie premiere, they do it every year, and we go, if only for the 2 for 1’s. I find Warren miller movies to be like 1 long commercial sometimes.

    And yes, the South Coast inland avy was reporting today that the Duff got 80cm…[Read more]

    jcbackcountry replied to the topic PNW Snow Bomb!!! in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 years, 8 months ago

    But who really pays $100 at the ticket window?

    I purchased a mine edge card early and got a 5 day edge card for $360 taxes included, plus 1 early season day, plus 2 days of summer gondola which we made a nice backpacking trip out of. Plus 1 have 2 – 2 for 1’s from Warren Miller (gf and I). So my math says:

    8 days of lifts for $350+100 (2 – 2…[Read more]

    More then 4.5″ of precipitation (mostly wet snow) has fallen on the Mt. Baker ski resort since Monday. That is just a huge amount! The white water kayakers must be rejoicing. Sunny skies in Vancouver right now, the calm before the next storm.

    Well check the snow stakes in the morning. Baker ski area is in for another 20″ pow day, that would be 2 since they opened, last friday. Though Friday skied more like 30″+.

    Kyle, great writeups, thanks for taking the time and I agree you did a good job trying to be objective.

    Funny though, some of our opinions differ. Out of your list I can only comment on the Voile mojo and Venture Zephyr (I’ve also spent some time on a Prior Spearhead). My opinion of the mojo is that its a touch too soft and too light, neither are…[Read more]

    Photos are always good. Skin track as a theme is cool idea. It’ll motivates people to get out and capture their early season gnar. Give us until the end of November and we should all have had some pretty good pow shots!

    jcbackcountry replied to the topic Coast Mountain, BC Huts beta needed in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 years, 9 months ago

    For that time of the year access to keiths and wendy thompson are probably the easiest (considering the th for both starts right off the highway and into a mountain pass), this also makes them busy.

    Wendy Thompson is reservable however, and the skiing is definitely varied enough to keep you busy. Side trips to Cayoosh and Mt. Rohr and several…[Read more]

    jcbackcountry replied to the topic Pre-season workout in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 10 years, 9 months ago

    This isn’t appropriate in home, but hiking is the do it all solution. It builds your cardio, stamina, strength in every part of your legs, your back, your ankles etc. You are doing real elevation gain and descent. I also find hiking really strengthens up the muscles around all the key joints like ankles and knees and thus you become more resistant…[Read more]

    What? I don’t see how that could be? Did you get a prompt to download something? From work we have some serious security settings and it allowed me to navigate the site without incident.

    More info please so as to protect the rest of us.

    Cheers,
