Beacon is sold. Probe price dropped for the holidays.

Another price drop.

Lowered prices.

Lol, I’m actually downsizing my pack to a yo-yo sized one. Sorry, the other things are not included.

Here two quick photos:

More photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/atchang/sets/72157627907501083/

I should be able to get you the photos tonight (if I don’t forget) as they are on my home computer. It is currently setup for regular but since board was split at factory, it has multiple inserts to allow you to set it up in either orientation (regular and goofy).

sold…

what’s left

Pair of Nitro Darkseid boots Mens Size 8 (Mondo 6) used 2 season… still in pretty good shape. Asking for $60 plus shipping

If you are interested I have lots of photos (will post them up on a separate listing soon as well)

Hey lonerider,

I just picked up a 166 Spearhead split (still unridden) for powder riding this season. I will likely get a more all around split for spring and variable conditions. My impressions below are based on the solid versions but I did get a lot of untracked powder turns last year.

Last year I rode both the 166 SH and the…

Anybody able to compare the Spearhead to the Khyber?

Rode my bindings in a little over foot of fresh snow this weekend. My experience are pretty much the same great stuff as everyone else.

There are an excellent binding. They stiffen up the flex and dramatically increase the responsiveness of my Khyber 160. I have new boots and no hotspots.

Some thoughts –
1. I had some minor snow packing on the…[Read more]

This one is good The Fish Market

I thought Fish Market was just ok. The fish is fresh, the menu items are decent, but I just didn’t like the tourist trap feel with it’s ocean-side view and being next to a US Navy aircraft carrier. Personally, I like hole in the wall place where I’m paying for the food and not the view or service. Maybe…[Read more]

Sorry, all my bindings are basically size 6-9 max.

What boot size are you?

Too much in my pack means better workout and calorie consumption.

I’m not sure if this is a lot, decent or light…light, right did you see the first number? 212 light my ass! Sound off on how your load compares.

Hey Jogi, I have the TLZ1 Lowepro as well… I like that the flap opens OUTWARDS from the body compared to the Tamrac bags. Such a simple little change means you can use BOTH hands to grab the camera instead of using one to hold the flap open

Thanks all for the advice – seems like the d80 will do me well, though I’m still undecided as to the lens setup. Anyone have any advice on a chest harness or equipment protection for a backpack?

After looking into it a bit – it’s quite obvious that the aforementioned retailer is sketchy, so I’ll definitely be going somewhere a bit…

Thanks! although I don’t have any nice winter scene shots like you do as I tend to only pack a small digicam when I’m doing BC myself (half because of the size/weight of my D80, half because…[Read more]
