    PowderNewb replied to the topic Hardbooter Bindings with locked heels in tour? in the forum Bindings 11 years, 6 months ago

    I guess there is no release to board mode but because both feet are mounted to the same object it would reduce chances of getting twisted in opposite directions? Of course the heels would have a tension release for ski mode. I’m looking at the dynafit tlt vertical sl binding for ski mode. Based on rental experience i’d say din 7 suits me just…[Read more]

    PowderNewb replied to the topic Hardbooter Bindings with locked heels in tour? in the forum Bindings 11 years, 6 months ago

    I see what you guys are saying but I just want to get the right gear first time around. Whats the point of spending 1k on a board/softboot/binding setup that I dont plan on using for too long? http://www.bomberonline.com/articles/snowboarding_day_one.cfm
    However if learning on softboots is better than I will do so.

    PowderNewb replied to the topic Dynafit Bindings mount the complete binding (toe and heel)?? in the forum Bindings 11 years, 6 months ago

    Does the mounting of the ski binding make it somewhat awkward being centered? As I’m sure you know most alpine ski’s have the bindings mounted closer to the rear.

    PowderNewb replied to the topic Hardbooter Bindings with locked heels in tour? in the forum Bindings 11 years, 6 months ago

    Reading the bomber site for hardbooting says learning on hardboots could actually be easier, possilbly easier transition for skiers.
    I am curious of what these bad habits hardboots might give?

    PowderNewb replied to the topic Hardbooter Bindings with locked heels in tour? in the forum Bindings 11 years, 6 months ago

    Simply because I want to board from the peak down but dont want to swap for a few steep hills down along the way. I’d feel much more stable if I could lock in the heels to stop.

    So what part goes into your pack and does this allow for a locked heel when u want to do a little dh in tourmode? Do you have a picture of your setup?

    I take it you can’t lock the heels down in ski mode and there are no plans to allow for this in the future?

    PowderNewb replied to the topic Weight of a modern splitboard setup vs AT ski setup? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 11 years, 6 months ago

    Thats the plan, so far we’ve just been hiking up peaks, with them attached to my belt pulling me. Which is what i’d like them to do also when i’m on ski’s and they’d be off leash on the downhill.

    I will certainly take Avy’ courses and plan to have all the proper gear. Regarding those two places, most people hike up and ski down to the parkinglot. Which on weekends probally see’s over 500+ ppl per day foot traffic climbing and perhaps at least 25 skiing their own trails back down to the parkinglot.
    The duration of the entire run currently…[Read more]

    Thanks for the tips, only places I plan to ride are maybe a 2 hr climb. Mostly seymour/cypress.

    Ctowels as a newb to snowsports and back country, i’d love to see your full gear list. I’m basically getting into all this because i’ve adopted two Arctic dogs and since I can’t ride lifts with them… I’ll have to do back country. Dont really “intend” for any overnight stays tho.

    Will the climbing wires be extra? When can we expect them?
