Please take your medication. I have 500's on tuas. I skied on them exclusively for awhile, and still do. Second, he didn't say he was using mountaineering boots necessarily.

I ski a lot at ski areas and I have never used real alpine gear.

careful, punk.

While tonya harding's appearances on the monster truck rally circuit were a lucrative alternative to knee-bashing, the constant demands of life on the road started to weight heavily.

glow-in-the-dark ton-tons and b-plugs, you just can't beat that for entertainment. thanks guys

that sounds like fun, all that ice over by the moraine will be in by then too. maybe a circumnav. is in order again too

too late, I cleared out their stock. I could signal down a plane right now

yeah I see a pair for sale on ebay, but they're being sold from jerusalem I always thought those were the perfect ones for the alpine stuff.

cheesiest ending? that would be "Independence Day". Quite possibly the worst few hours of my life. Bruckheimer should be banned from touching a camera.

yes it is a camel.

boy I got to try out some quarks and they were so solid on overhanging stuff it was almost like cheating. I was very impressed. though I am coming from prophets. anyone know where you can get cf prophets still?

is the grip smaller than the cobra grip? BD seems to go large with the grips. (at least their prophets are large)

skinning downhill does indeed suck, but there seem to be plenty of times when it happens (for me at least?). Seems to happen frequently for me on mountain circumnavigations (like north sister, hood, or something similar) were there are a bunch of moraines and it seems like a waste of time to stop at the top of each one to strip off the skins. again, I wouldn't buy skins based on this, just something I have noticed over time.

oh I see, well I guess you're in the clear then!

let's just call it grade A for A-lot-of-fun.

at the very least stop posting videos of you wiping out on a 1 foot kicker

anyone wearing a gong around their neck is by definition, money.

I think this is overanalysis, but I'll just say I didn't say go for super skinny skins. Ones that are as wide as the waist of the ski work just fine. Again, nothing against full-coverage skins, just they are not essential. There is so much technique in skinning. Many experienced skinners can get up unbelievable stuff w/ratty old normal skins. The worst is when you are on a climbing traverse, and you angle in a little too much and instantly shoot backwards on the ski rail. Yikes!

jackpot, I found it

I would, but I forget the proper name of those things...monty python geeks, could you throw me a bone here?

ROOOOUNNNDD HERE

then slice open its belly and crawl inside for warmth like snowbeast in empire strikes back

ROOOOUND HERE, WE ALWAYS STAND UP STRAIGHT RROOOOOOOOUND HERE, SOMETHING RADIATES ROOUUNNN..

a pack of chihuauas and dalmatians would be pretty f'ing funny to see
