Howdy, Just want to do a quick review on some of the rub on waxes I’ve tried for my fish scales and tip and tails. Swix F4 Liquid - Easy to apply. Glides well in most conditions. Almost too slick climbing more condensed snow. Doesn’t last very long. Issues with snow globbing in spring wet snow. Toko...

If you want an extremely light durable pack that is custom made check out Gavin’s work at Apocalypse Equipment. He is based in Jackson, Wyoming and made my pack. Has all the bells and whistles I need and still going strong after 3 years.

I wear a 28 mondo in Scarpa tele boots. I’m an 11 in most US shoes. I got the 43 Alfa.

Thanks for the tips. Will checkout those videos!

Just got my Alfa boots in! They fit my feet like a nice tight glove. Glad I went with your guys recommendations. My heel feels locked and toe fits my wide feet much better than Alpina. Now I just need my skis and bindings! Another thought, due to the weight and feeling of these boots I’m strongly co...

Any recommendations on what sleeping bag to buy for winter camping? My old down bag has too many holes and needs replaced and is frankly too heavy and bulky. I’m in Wyoming so our winters can be brutal.

Thanks!
