    Here.
    You may not directly slight phantom, but its pretty obvious the way you show disrespect to phantom but not mentioning them.
    karakoam and you just rub me the wrong way in how they hype up their products when imo its total marketing bs.

    each to their own. This is seriously the first time I’ve even heard of anyone doing this stove/drinking thing.
    For me, the weight saving just doesnt justify the massive inconvenience of stopping to mess around with all that shit, vs taking a sip through my camel while I don’t even lose a stride. (and no I haven’t ever had a problem with my…[Read more]

    you’re right but my point still stands, its pretty absurd to think its better to carry 500g of stove/fuel to melt water vs just carrying 2litres of water for a day.

    I get that its difficult to make money in the snowboarding industry but for Travis Rice to whore himself out on a product this bad really makes me lose all respect for him as a person.

    wow these manage to be even worse than imagined.
    what made you even consider these bindings in the first place?
    the cheap price?
    the fantastic pin interface? lol

    my cp3 poles are 3 seasons old and ive only had to replace the baskets with a set from my other poles.
    no issues with flick locks, remember you can always buy spare parts from locus gear if you do somehow break them.

    Nice work Buell.
    Quick delivery from Locus Gear as usual.
    My expeditions were a few years old, so maybe they were a heavier model.
    Also I have added some tennis racket wrap below the Foam handle for extra grip on my Locus Gear poles which is why mine are slightly heavier.

    I might add another item I have found for a lightweight headlamp.

    I am unable to commit to the Gignouxs yet as they are so expensive and I am waiting on more testing before I think about them.
    Any further thoughts on them?
    are they crampon compatible?
    do they hold up well to abuse from kicking rocks? steps?
    do the soles grip well walking on rocks? ice?
    do you get cold feet?
    how do they fit compard to tlt’s

    Pack weight is 4.5kg with 2 litres of water, carbon cylinder. came from a bca float 32 airbag. lost over 1 kg.
    swing weight I’d estimate per foot is around 3kgs, board and boots. I came from a burton spliff with spark bindings. went to jones ultracraft and then milligram and phantoms. lost more than 1kg here.
    worn weight is now about 2kgs, I…[Read more]

    Here are some ski pictures from my season this year.

    I spent 3 weeks driving and traveling around Georgia. I’m Australian, and know that almost no Australians know about this amazing country. I would assume its the same with Americans. Its a developing country coming out of the soviet era. It just happens to be at the foot of the huge Caucasus…[Read more]

    I have been perfecting my ultimate splitboard setup over the years by reducing weight and increasing performance so I figured I would share the hours of researching I have compiled which I hope might be useful to someone.

    Ultralight is a term used in long distance thru-hiking. Everyone should know that if your equipment is lighter, you will:

    ozsnowbum replied to the topic The Gondwanaland TR Part 2: A Few Turns in OZ in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 9 months ago

    i think you totally underestimate the size of the backcountry ski community as well as the standard of skiing in Australia.

    There is also the fact that backcountry ski culture in Australia is probably 10 years behind everywhere else as evident by the fact that only the past couple of years has there even been any avalanche training available…[Read more]

    ozsnowbum replied to the topic The Gondwanaland TR Part 2: A Few Turns in OZ in the forum Trip Reports 7 years, 9 months ago

    a number of factors imo.

    consider that its the same 30 guys who attend splitfest every year, so a tiny backcountry community.

    the overnight access as you note. but even more to this, is the fact that most mountains are nowhere near where most people live. For example, I live in Sydney, and it takes me a good 6-7 hours to even get down to the…[Read more]

    This place has been on my radar for a few seasons now. Checked it out in January. Conditions meant skiing any serious lines were out of the question so I just went to poke around.

    So Id guess most on here wouldn’t have heard about this place, but this resort was built in 1993 by Sony at the tail-end of the Japan ski boom and went bankrupt in…[Read more]
