I ordered softshell pants from them a few years ago. Good experience.

I think the story changes and gets better every time that horse speaks! 😆

From what I’ve been told, it didn’t sweep anyone into a crevasse, but the slab did give one lucky person a quick ride back to the bottom of the crater…

Why do you need a splitboard this time of year? Just take a regular board – I doubt you’ll need the flotation for uphill – might be nice, but probalby not necessary.

Ballsy trip, looks great. Was the couloir on Joffree a first descent?
I sure hope you guys are being careful with your avy assessment… I want to make sure we see lots more of these great TRs!

Hero snow generally just means snow that is really easy to turn on…. usually heard in reference to smooth corn, in my experience.

Can we have some of this “tolerable weather” you speak of? Oh, and on a weekend, too? thanks!
Sweet line!

Hey shastariffic, how do you like that HC1? It’s a little slow on “boot-up”, isn’t it? I’ve missed a few shots because of that. I guess the near-film-quality makes up for it 🙂
Good job on the helmet cam footage, it’s really smooth. I assume you were on skis? Whenever I helmet cam on a snowboard, I always get that side to side motion…

Holy crap, that looks amazing! Nice work!
What is “frazier”, is that the name of the mountain?
philfort replied to the topic Which side out when skinning? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 17 years, 4 months ago
I agree with bcrider – try both, there’s no “right” way.
For my first year or so, I skinned with the straight edges inside. I had many people tell me I was doing it wrong :-), but I actually preferred it that way, and that’s why the Chinese hooks fold in. I think maybe because my feet are closer together, and it seems like a more natural…[Read more]

1) Cool terrain
2) Good snow
3) Stable snowIf we had all 3 around here right now, I’d be all over it! Unfortunately we only have #3, with your option of mutually exclusive #1 or #2.
philfort replied to the topic Obligatory Tahoe TR – Thunder Mtn. 12/11/05 in the forum Trip Reports 17 years, 5 months ago
Nice…. doesn’t look like you guys are hurting too bad there, and coverage seems semi-adequate.
Seems like you got better snow quality than us right now. We have either sun crust or hard wind crust, no matter the aspect 🙁

I’m interested for Sunday maybe…?
I’ve already got plans for tomorrow (Saturday) if any others are interested – we’re planning to head up to Chair Pk, down the north side, and then up and over Roosevelt, then back along the other side of Snow Lake… sort of a long full day with hopefully some good descents. I think my friend will be on skis.…[Read more]philfort replied to the topic Feedback needed from Voile split riders…….. in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 17 years, 6 months ago
For what it’s worth, I started with a 173cm Voile (I’m 5’11’, 155LBS). Now I’m using mainly a 160cm Khyber, and I’ve been suprised how much float I get – doesn’t seem like I’ve lost anything over the 173, but I’m able to turn quicker.
Maybe I’d suffer if I took it out in really raunchy conditions (deep, wet, heavy)… I’ll find out soon enough I guess.philfort replied to the topic photos from the Chic-Chocs in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 17 years, 6 months ago
