Re: Wax exchange?

Can small pieces of kick wax go in a regular envelope with stamp or will the weight be too much for regular postage? It needs to be "machine-able" and not rigid, not more than 1/4" thick, of regular envelope dimensions (not square, see USPS), and not contain anything prohibited. For kick wax, you'd...

@TallGrass I’ll see your Pumpkin Kahlua and raise you a Denver Beer Co Hey Pumpkin Ale.
Oh, ho, ho... NOW you've done it! The only way I see to settle this is in person! With "samples"! And "witnesses" who also ski! And food! And more "samples"!

Should I just not worry about?
Correct, don't worry. Clean, prep, wax, brush and go. I wouldn't F with the base's structure.

Re: Booze

Took a $1 bottle of Fireball up a 14er in winter. Poured mini-shots by having people lie down on the coffee-table summit rock, open wide, friend doses a splash. Convinced others to join it, them dosing their partners. It wasn't about the ABV, more the frivolity. Not really much of a booze-on-a-hike ...

Re: G3 Targa Climbing Wire Gauge?

I picked a pair of skis with G3 Targas on them for $10 at a local ski sale and the bindings look to be in pretty good condition but are missing the climbing wires. Does anybody know what gauge the climbing wires are on the Targa? I figure I could just buy the right thickness wire and bend it into s...

Re: Learning Telemark on Scaled Skis

Is it more difficult to learn to tele on downhill skis that have scales vs. smooth bases? Scales will have more friction, not slide as easy, and you may notices "rumbling" depending on snow conditions as any little snow "bump" runs down the scales, noticeable but not necessarily objectionable. * I ...

Re: Sleeping bag?

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. I have one down 3-season sleeping bag of about 1 kg, one synthetic similar bag of similar weight...
