Great stuff! Im abit south of you on Chinook pass. Im planning my first bc outing of the year tomorrow. Probably head up above Bumping Lake or someplace up by the 410 closure.

Id really like to be able to mount a plate and then swap between nnn and nnnbc, i know i could us binding freedom, but an adjustable plate would be pretty sweet(imo).

I just ordered international from Europe. What bindings are people running? Im seeing everything from nnnbc to regular nnn. I want to keep mine light, so I will probably go nnn. Screw on or plate system?

Most rv’s are built for a price point and their quality reflects it, especially insulation and cold weather performance. We’ve owned a sprinter and two truck campers. The sprinter froze up at zero f, my truck camper is good down to -25’ish f as long as i keep the propane flowing. I put my truck camp...

I use hdpe for alot of various carpentry and even automobile projects. I usually order from: https://www.interstateplastics.com/plastic-sheets.php Regarding screws, i would stay with the similar style your using and just add the length for your riser block.

Yes! Ive been eyeballing those same events for years but I haven’t taken the plunge. I will really be looking forward to reports! Are your Mountain Races the skins or wax? Are you doing much of a ‘training program’ or you doing it more freehand with a bunch of running/riding now and will just ski a ...

I skied the sbound 98s this season, with nnn bc. They arent the fastest, but I usually ski these solo so i dont care. They descend ok with soft leathers and nnnbc in fresh snow, but firm or cut up snow its survival skiing for me. Next season these are getting swapped to 75mm leathers with cables. Th...

In addition- I note that you are using NNNBC boots- if you want to keep using your boots- this is going to potentially limit the width of the ski you might consider- though this limit is a complex of the particulat boot, the snow conditions, and the skills of the skier. Casacades? Moisture-rich sno...

As an example- both my 210 Combat NATO and my 205 Ingstad do not offer as much flotation as my 195 Madshus Annum- but the Combat NATO and the Ingstad move through the very deep snow more effectively and efficiently- therefore, in my experience the Combat NATO and the Ingstad are better deep snow No...

So, just be careful to make sure you're not in the runout for slides.

I've got the avi training and skills, and I ski steeper backcountry quite frequently with 1-2 people. These specifics trips are no to low avi risk.
