I would encourage all of this and then also add that you shouldn’t be afraid to set your own skin track. Someone on here might tell me that I’m wrong, but at a roadside attraction where the skin track is super steep, do everyone else a favor and set a good not to steep-not to flat skin track.
Breaking trail I have never experienced slippage

I set it one insert back, for more float and a more directional feel. Then I rotated my front foot a few degrees forward

I thought my boad (Burton Freebird 158) was too short the first few times that I rode it too, but I found that I just needed to re adjust my stance and then I felt much better

“Givith Us Gree!”

I may have just shat myself from laughing

This is one of the radest things that I’ve seen on this forum.

My GoPro was fun for a season, and then it kinda wore off…

But, that said, they can make some really cool videos if you’re good at that stuff -I wasn’t…

^^^^ This is really cool, and the Spark/Burton binder too

I am stoked to see larger companies working with these smaller split-binder manufacturers. First because it will spread the word about rad companies who are innovating like crazy and deserve some more recognition. Second, this will get more people riding on better gear and therefore more…[Read more]

:nononno: since when is joining snowboarding with the government good ?

Besides, I am sick of perpetuating a skier vs snowboarder conflict

I am curious to see who is making them for Jones. Like G3 did Spark’s and Ascention (Black Diamond) did Voile’s.

I don’t think that could ever do a full-on mohair skin, especially on a split, but I have never even tried it on my skis.

You do not need lift tickets to splitboard

Hell no! :bow:

Salomon split looks kooky, a hinge in the middle of the board? One more thing for me to fiddle with at the top of the run, and it really can’t be good for the ride quality… I wouldn’t buy it, the board next to it looks rad though

No snowshoes, just hike, Let someone else set the bootpack for you.

This is my favorite thread every year.

The Black shep looks sick. Maybe G3 should take a swing at splitboard bindings?

I wonder if G3 will do any carbon layups on their skiis as well?

Sunglasses up, goggles down. Sometimes sunglasses down too, if Im moving fast

Thanks for all the info guys! Good to know that full-on mountaineering gear could be overkill, Sometimes I can be kind of a gear whore… Maybe just a light piolet then?

I would prefer to make my final descent into LCC (to the north) because I live pretty much at the base of the canyon, and I hate any sort of bushwhacking.

Thanks! I am really not very experienced when it comes to larger tours like the Pheiderhorn, so I definitely appreciate all the support and beta.

Redpine defiantly sounds like the better option. Glad I posted and asked.

P.S. I have been meaning to drop in and post a bit on the conditions thread, I have learned a lot from it but I am certainly…[Read more]

I have one with an avalung, I like it, however, I just got a Gregory alpinisto 50 for my birthday, and it is freaking radical. Defiantly a alpine style pack, but I always envied that skiers could use sweet alpine climbing backpacks for touring. (because side compression straps are all that you need to carry normal-width skis) I plan on buying the…[Read more]

I’ve used BD Contact strap crampons on my size 10.5 2012 Rulers and found them to be secure but scary narrow.

My Rulers were 8.5’s, I suspect that boot size is significant when fitting crampons to snowboard boots.

I have seen people bend the little metal sections that hold the harness system on outward… 😕 I don’t know if I…[Read more]

If they make a 159 I will buy it. Enough said.
