Re: Asnes skin failure!

Hey all, I took my green Gammes to the Brooks Range for a caribou hunt this spring. Highs of 29F and 18 hours of sunlight made the snow ice in the morning and quite wet by the end of the day. I used a pulk to haul all my gear in and skied around with it in search of caribou. For these reasons I dec...

Re: Xplore on Ice?

I think there will be a learning curve for you if you havent done much skiing on steep and icy terrain on nordic bindings and skis (regardless of setup type)... I personally dont see an advantage in using alpine skis for nordic boots/bindings. Mount the nordic bindings on many of the fine bc nordic...

Re: Xplore on Ice?

I have not used the Xplore setups but I think I can provide some helpful information. I have spent alot of time skiing hard boiler plate on BC nordic setups. Keep your skins on for these sections especially when its steep. The steeper and harder the snow (wind/sun crust), the wider and longer the sk...

Re: Night Ski Photos

Took some pics of the aurora the other night. I only have like a foot tall tripod which makes it too much of a pain to try and frame shots or anything so this is the best I got. I REALLY like those shots! 8-) 8-) I don't know if you have a time lapse option, or can do a video then edit afterwards, ...

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!

In the meantime, there was very little snow in Switzerland. Still a great time enjoying the sun, the food and wine, and afternoon slush.

Re: Western US snowfall

I now feel bad about telling @@jyw5 not to come to lassen this year in June. Turns out this would have been the year... I think the most interesting thing is not only the quantity of snow inches, but the water equivalent too. Last year we got close to 100% of median snowfall in many places: https:/...

Re: Return to XCD

Crazy day, a buddy showed up this afternoon with a new pair of 189 S-bound 98s with an Xplore binding. When he saw my OTs, he laughed and went to his truck. Returned with another set of Xplores and his mounting tools. He’d only take $200 and a beer for everything. He gets sweetheart deals as a rep....
