Damn good day in the mountains! Glad we could get that run done today Bucky and thanks for making me look cool!

Great scenery and it looks like an amazing trip in the mountains!

Today monday or next monday? I’ve been touring in gtnp for about the last 3 weeks and will be leaving the area later this week. If you’re getting in town today/tomorrow shoot me a pm and we can meet up, I’ll fill you in with what I know is going on and let you know about the spots I’ve been to. Can’t help you with a place to crash though, sorry.

Yes, I’m planning on staying a few more weeks

Jackson is forecasted to get some snow through the weekend. If it plays out it could be up to 20″ of fresh by sunday. I’ve been riding some fun stuff in grand teton national park since I’ve been here. Theres always teton pass too. Moderate angles have been great, I don’t have partners every day either so I’ve been playing it pretty safe when riding solo.

Not sure if this you’re looking for strictly BC but I’m also on a road trip in Jackson right now, probably will be for a bit until something better comes along. Avy 1, 2, and WFR. If you make your way back into the states I be somewhere in the MT, WY, ID vicinity… unless it starts nuking somewhere then I’ll be there! PM if interested

I like the sounds of your trip, I’m currently doing something similar so it hits close to home for me. I’m currently in CO but probably won’t hang around too long due to lack of partners/impatience. More than likely ill be headed to jackson in the next few days where I know many more people who tour. The snowpack everywhere is poor at best but…[Read more]

Yes that was the ABS 40l I was referring to. If you search the internet for Voile ski strap you’ll come across what I’m talking about there. The way I set it up you don’t actually use the voile strap to affix your board to the bag. I set up the board in ski mode and use the voile strap to affix them together with the base of each side touching.…[Read more]

I’ve used the abs vario all last season and in south america this summer for day tours as well as some winter camping. I have the 15 and 40l compartments. For me 15l is a great single day tour size, room for shovel, probe, saw, water, and puffy in the compartment closest to my back and the second compartment hold significantly less but gets the…[Read more]

Anyone in the lower 48 feeling froggy enough to make a last minute road trip to this event. I just pulled into CO to start my winter of powder chasing and the snowpack everywhere on my hit list is terrible. Would be willing to drive to WY, MT, eastern idaho or of course meet up in CO. driving a newer Tundra, a crew of three wouldn’t be terrible to…[Read more]

Just pulled into the front range. Staying at a friends in ft collins right now and itching to get back on the split. No place to be and nothing to do but ride. If anyone wants to get after something I’m game. Your snowpack looks like hell but so does everyone else’s so lets ride some low angle trees or something.

Is the bc filling in good up there? Im in the adirondacks until just after christmas and would be down to head up that way if theres some turns to be had. took a drive and camped up at Jay a few weeks ago, it was good for the east coast in nov. I’ve got a pretty open schedule right until I leave so let me know!

Thanks, I’ll check them out

Pretty much the same as buell, I like using whippets all spring and in any ascent i expect to be firm but not steep enough for axe use.

^^ :thumpsup: nice guys over there

Just throwing my :twocents: out there but my go to split in the wasatch is the jones hovercraft. Rode the solid their first season and picked up the split last year. This board handled everything from skinny October runs at alta, deep days mid winter, and corn in the spring. Its camber but float is amazing and chop isn’t an issue. If you’re ok…[Read more]

Any Utah splitters interested in making the trip? This sounds like a great time for my first splitfest!
