  1. Sounds like a Tim Blair plan Good luck, something I've been meaning to try. Just hope somebody's cut trail before you You going south to north or the reverse? I always thought a Rubble start would be best

  5. 1. Alphas are sized for every single foot size in the shells, not every two as per all others. 2. Ski boot inners can be as much as 10 mm thick, Alpha liners are about 1/2 to 1/3 of that, so therefore don't expect such a drastic a packing out. 3. The only reason BD doesn't recommend the Alphas for long term winter use is because they lack an insulating midsole. So buy the larger pair and add a footbed made out of 5mm "bivy" thickness yellow foam. Just don't put them directly into the inners or you'll end up with Ward Robinson "hamburger feet" (see Twight)

  7. What do you think the purpose for war is? Beat them but make sure their self-esteem is left intact? Dude, you have no idea. The idea of war is to DESTROY your enemies, not scare them. Sheesh! The more we can "shock and awe", the better chance we have of destroying our enemy's will to fight, making the job of our infantry easier. .

  12. Ya, you can't compare coastal snowpack to Interior or Rockies. It is quite common at Whistler to recieve a huge dump, have the sun come out now and then, and the temp stays relatively consistent, and, as a result, cyrstals get rounded well and one is able to ski stuff like I did yesterday without too much of a worry. We were pretty cautious though
  13. OK, can I just say ? How could 180cm of fresh possibly be safe to ski, especially at 45deg.? I guess a lot has to do with chance, but you said that you checked the snopack and couldn't find any instabilities? I'm really curious as to why this could be? The first thing I learned about avys is to not go out in the backcontry when there's a 180cm fresh dump! Anyone? Your right, i'll go back up and trigger one for you That's why there was no one else there If you know the area, the west face of Lesser Flute is windswept compared to the NW face, which is a huge terrain trap.
