    Ski Length Recommendation for SkiMO?

    in the *freshiezone*

    Posted

    Taking up AT skiing this year. Haven't been skiing for 12 years.

     

    I got Dynafit bindings and boots for Christmas (though I need to unload the boots to trade for something with a better fit. I need to choose skis.

     

    I these will probably be used mostly for beginner ski-mountaineering. I'm pretty set on something at 100 underfoot, but I'm not sure about length.

     

    I'm 5'10" 187lbs - so I've been looking at the 174-181 range.

     

    Does that sound about right? I'll be carrying some weight on my back so should I focus on the higher end of that scale?

     

    I think the frontrunner in my mind is the K2 Coomback.

     

    Feedback appreciated.

    Dynafit Vulcan AT Ski Boots NIB - Size 28.5

    in The Yard Sale

    Posted · Edited by Newman55

    Got some brand new Dynafit Vulcans for Christmas, but this boot is too narrow for my wide feet. Gotta switch to the Maestrale RS.

     

    Trying to offload them fast so I can get new boots and start skiing.

     

    Would consider a trade for a pair of Scarpa Maestrale RS boots in 28.5

     

    $750.00

     

    I can meet in Seattle during the week or Leavenworth on weekends

    I have a brand-new w/ tags Outdoor Research Axiom Jacket. MEn's Size MED

     

    Retails at $375 tho so wouldn't be a straight-up trade.

     

    I have a lightly used Osprey Stratos 36 and a lightly used Osprey Atmos that I'm also interested in trading... Both mens in the grey color... I I think size MED.

    Sahale Peak this weekend ?

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    Now that the SR20 has opened, and we can access the North Cascades, a few friends and I were thinking of climbing Sahale this weekend. Cascade River Road is drive-able to mile 20 so we'd have to park and hike 3 miles to the trail-head on snowshoes.

     

    Anybody climbed Sahale Peak in Spring?

     

    We're planning for a snow-shoe approach Saturday, camping overnight, then a Sunday morning summit and returning to Seattle Sunday evening.

     

    Any Springtime-specific tips or info would be appreciated!
