    shasta replied to the topic Are soft boots as effective as hb going up the slope? in the forum Boots 8 years, 1 month ago

    Truest quote in this pathetic, tired debate, “Currently, “the choir” usually sounds like a bunch of geeks tinkering with model airplanes in their garages.”

    I’m seriously considering going back to softboots based on the elitist attitudes of those who evangelize hardboots.

    Get a life, go ride.

    shasta replied to the topic Chomps Not Chomping in the forum Bindings 8 years, 2 months ago

    You are right there must be a way to lock em down. Not sure about chomps mechanically but voile crampons lock down and that’s what you need, I thought Chomps had this option. I’ve never found them useful in anything but fixed position for the same reasons you mention.

    Good Luck.

    shasta replied to the topic Making the dynafit switch – need advice on where to start in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 8 years, 6 months ago

    Mountain plates have worked for me for over 5 years: never bent, broke, ripped, chipped or tore one. The pin holes are egged out on mine from wear but thats it. I usually get 60 b/c days each season in all conditions. Good starter setup you can always upgrade later: spend the $ on boots if you are limited.

    shasta replied to the topic Avalanche kills five snowboarders at Loveland Pass, CO in the forum Avy Discussion Forum 9 years ago

    Tragic and sad indeed.

    Thought the wildsnow blog was right on in terms of clinically discussing the issue and potential mistakes that led to the tragedy. The timing was right on as this is iron that will not shape unless its hot.

    My perspective on this is affected by the fact I was taken out in a slide this winter locally and luckily did not…[Read more]

    shasta replied to the topic Do you switch your board halves when hiking? in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 9 years, 3 months ago

    Switching halves came about from the instructions that came with the original Burton splits (a la Craig Kelly) that had the ying/yang hooks on each board half that would clack and catch if you didn’t switch halves for skinning. I know cause I had the problem, thought WTF, and decided to read the manual.

    I still switch halves and see no reason to…[Read more]

    shasta replied to the topic K2 introduces the new "Kwicker" splitboard system – in the forum Splitboards 9 years, 5 months ago

    I’m just scarred from the day I described: it started out with the approach skis that didn’t work very well and went worse from there as I described.

    Glad to see new systems and competition that only will drive better products.

    shasta replied to the topic K2 introduces the new "Kwicker" splitboard system – in the forum Splitboards 9 years, 5 months ago

    Rode with a guy with clickers ONCE. We had to boot up a steep section. At the top he couldn’t “click in” because the pocket on boot bottom was packed with ice. We worked on it for awhile (in blizzard conditions)(had to take gloves off, frozen fingers) and all seemed good so off I went. Waited for an hour (I seriously thought he died in a…[Read more]

    shasta replied to the topic Bunny Flat Winter Access in Serious Jeopardy in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 9 years, 11 months ago

    Any response is good, even if its dipped in B.S.: CalTrans only plows the highways (I5, 89…) as far as I know. SRS is a funding issue but the bigger problem is, as Shasta G observed, the funds spent on litigation to preserve ancient dams that provide no real benefit to the county.

    Thanks for the emails, keep them coming. :clap:

    Schralph I’m sure many like yourself only spend $ in Mt. Shasta City while visiting the mountain but those dollars benefit the county several times over. Between sales tax, hotel tax, keeping shops open (who doesn’t hit the Goat for a bubbly refreshment :guinness: after a climb), Shasta G hiring…[Read more]

    shasta replied to the topic Bunny Flat Winter Access in Serious Jeopardy in the forum Splitboard Talk Forum 9 years, 11 months ago

    Buying a plow is one option I’ve heard. A toll for the road or parking fees at Bunny Flat might fund it. Bitch is you also need a rotary blower$$ because a plow cant deal with the snow amounts and wind drifts up there. Some dedicated system to clear Everitt would be great as many times in winter after a big dump it takes days or weeks to open…[Read more]

    I put a summer wax coat and hung up my board for the year. Cya next winter I’m focused on the melted form of Shasta for the rest of the summer. Have fun the turns will be worth it.

    Nice get. I was ready to bag the season until I saw the coating from that last storm. Saw the winds moving all the snow onto the south aspects that morning on the way to work and got real itchy to call in sick…wish I would have.

    Weekend shot across to climbers and turns below Red Banks.

    Carvy turns down to Helen on the new stuff, corn down to 8000, luge out on the trough. Get it now. 5 miles to Brewer but may melt out this week.

    Brewer is still locked up but only really needs one snow drifted turn to melt out according to beta I got last weekend. FS Ranger Station in Shasta is the best place for the most current info. The climbing advisory from MSAC has road info but its only updated occasionally.
