My wife and our in Vail/ Beaver Creek for the next two weeks. Are there any carvers around?

New Cateks- nice score. I think you may need to see someone about your Catek addiction!! If they were long plates I would have snagged them. How many sets do you have?

We had a great week-Snow was awesome and very few people. Thanks to Erik, John , and Jack for the help with my carving! Riding with these guys will make you a better rider for sure.

Do you have any pictures of your replacement/ fix for king pin nut Never-mind I did not scroll down far enough

I have steel receivers on my cateks. I am not sure who made them but they appear to be drilled out for more than just cateks. I will post pictures.

That was quick! Let me know if deal falls through

Hey TT-I will certainly give you credit for that!! And something else- last year you said something about if you love snowboarding why not spend whatever it takes to make it more enjoyable in regards to equipment.(something like that) Extremely good advice! I will see you in a few days.

My wife and I will be there 2/8-2/12. I hope everyone had fun in the powder today!

What Mr. John Deere said-Beckman AG was a huge help in my and my wife's riding over the years!!

If you zoom in on my picture you can see maybe 1-11/2 threads past the break. The spherical nut sheared right where the taper ends

Just the flanged nut sheared Catek supplied two different length bolts depending on how many spacers you used. I did have the long bolt in with 2 spacers I lost track of how many extra pairs of cateks I have! Bindings are back together and fine. Knowing what happened is the problem........mentaly for me at least

If teach does not take them put me next in line

Interested in Td3 when available

I got off the lift today and stepped in my rear binding and noticed it was loose. After fiddling with it a few minutes with no success I decided to take it apart to investigate further. After a 1/4 turn loosening the king pin bolt the binding came apart! The spherical king pin nut was sheared off! Thankfully I caught this before I took another run as I am sure it would have let loose on my way down the hill. I strongly suggest you check these nuts for cracks. Also, anyone have any idea where to get these spherical nuts?

I know a good boot fitter in PA, Philadelphia suburbs if that helps. Let me know and I will get you contact info

My wife and I will be at JackFrost this weekend. We usually go to Elk but JF is on our Epic pas.

Hi E. I hope you are doing well. Our group trip is off this year but D and I are going to get up there at some point. I hope we can get together to catch up. Looks like you are getting dumped on!!

Anyone ride at Vail? My wife and I will be there 3/6-3/16

My wife and I just looked at the book on our vacation at sugarloaf. It’s pretty cool and a must have for my wife

We had an awesome week. Snow was perfect. Had fun making some turns with John and Erik(glad you could make it up Erik) Nice to meet you Jack. I was really happy to be able to ride all week with out too much pain from my recent injury’s. John- next year i hope to get back to some steeper terrain!

My wife and I will be up from Jan 19-24-looks like some snow coming in on Sat. We are usually out all day.

My buddy found a pair. Thanks

Trying to help out a friend. Anybody have a pair of size 12 softboots they want to sell. Thanks

Glad you got it apart. For stuck/frozen bolts and screws I started using Kano Kroil-way better than PB Blaster. A mechanic at the commercial fishing dock recommended it. I have used it to get bolts out of salt water outboards and nothing is worse than that environment.

My buddy got a new hip a few years ago. He is an avid cyclist and skier. The new hip did not slow him down at all. He is still pedaling a few thousand miles a year and skiing as hard as ever. Last year he did the Vermont ride - north south border to border in one day!
