More stoke as the corn fest goes on. We rode West Face: 4000 feet of fun! Great weekend in Hidden Valley. Awesome sunset. Middle pic shows the cloud top that locked the summit up but made for a great sunset.

Can’t wait for the East side to melt out!

I’ll be kickin it in Hidden Valley friday thru sunday if anyone wants to stop in for a visit.

Nice double header! The mud creek line isn’t worth a second thought :thumpsup:

Come now as sun cups are starting to show just below horse camp.

A little stoke for the fest. EPIC CORN yesterday. This is the view from 11k on Casaval (no riding shots b/c solo):

Re airports Medford is another option.

Way cool way to end the day!

Seems the price must incoroprate the media blitz surrounding this exciting “new” concept because they don’t look worth even 1/2 the $745 retail.

The heavy hitters don’t deserve animosity for their endorsements, they got paid for that which is the business they are in: seeking sponsorships.

The ESPN, Outside and other media promotional puff…[Read more]

Nice backyard!

No lumarians I think the leprechauns chased them off cause there were a few Guiness floating around the parking lot. :guinness:

Rughty, PM sent.

Thats sweet.

I want to do something similar and get all the rise out of the bail system so I’m right down on the voile plate. Guess I better get a drillin on my spare plates. Did you swipe bails from another set of plates?

Fun night in Weed!

And you brought snow like we hoped.

Come back anytime.

MOMENT rocks!

Saw him last night at the Weed Brewery.

The film was great: the slide show and commentary by Kyle preceding the film really sealed the deal. Really cool mentality he brings to the hills, stoked all the way.

If you have the chance don’t miss it!

I really didn’t pay much attention to the K2 product because I’d always regarded them as a Ski Co.

Depends.

The Burton interface is not worth trying to fix if its failing. Can’t tell in the photos I saw but the pins on the interface go into the touring bracket and with enough use the metal by the pins will fail and the binding side of the interface will no longer stay connected to the board. Took me 2 years to kill mine.

That said those old…[Read more]

Bottom line is you gotta but boots so buy the boots you like for skiing and give them a shot splitting. Like I said mine ride fine unmodded. I’m way more coordinated than most poeple so that is likely why I tear it up in my unmodded piecies of shit. 🙄 :thumpsup: :thatrocks:

I currently ski and ride Scarpa Matrix with no issues and no mods. I too have been eying the maestrale for a legacy to the matrix which I really enjoy riding and hiking in. I just leave them in walk mode and loosen the strap and top buckle when riding.

IMO give it a go.

Blessing in disguise.

Both quotes are attributed to Chouinard: he wasn’t special just passionate.

You should be able to get down most hills on the up w/o locking heels. Would be nice to lock ’em but there is something to be said for keeping it simple.

What the fuck is up with the elitist attitude on this site? :bow: Everybody is an expert these days it seems, all too willing to put a curious guy in his “place.” Now I understand the genisis…[Read more]
