    looking for a new pair of bibs/pants that have a 1/2bib in back to keep the snow out. I have a habit of losing heelside and am sick of the crude up my back. I want tuff stuff with covered full side zips, goretex a must ,reenforced where it counts, powder cuffs, decent pockets. Hard to tell what your getting online and dont mention arc'teryx..im not paying for a logo. any suggestions would be great.

    So what is your opinion of the retrofit? I read lots of the posts discussing possibilities and limitations with some concerns over height. I cant see where a couple mm's is going to radically change things unless one is super picky.

    Some thoughts on the slime that builds up on your base in the spring. We dont have a pollution problem on the south shore of Lake Superior in the U.P. or God's Country if you really want to know, but a good portion of the hill snow is man made. The gun water comes from a river rather than a well. The water is unfiltered at the micro level and full of microscopic organic critters. Imagine spraying all these critters all over the mtn. from November thru January 24 hrs a day. Come spring time, the snow melts and the dead critters concentrate to the top and stick to your wax. Throw in the occasional blown groomer hydraulic hose fluid that gets power tilled in and wahlah! In my youth I used to make snow here and if the river was roiled up because of a heavy snowfall the gun snow would have a little tint to it from the river being high and fast... more crud in the snow. Let the man made crap dry out before grooming it and spread the yellow snow around. Addtionaly, some of the snowmaking science says that having micro-organisms in the water allows for making snow at higher temps.. freezes quicker... so some resorts with well water actually inject bio stuff into their gun water.... creepy Soylent Green science! Come spring... keep a scraper in your pocket and clean off the board every couple runs.

    You can keep anything below the Mighty Mac! Anxiously awaiting delivery of the weapon. 1st Coiler, should be a vast improvement over the Alp Im riding now. Anyone know how/where I can get specs for the Alp. Had it so long I dont even know the scr anymore. Very nice clean board with the Cool Cat graphics, powder blue top sht. 163cm 19ish waist trade for TD2 step-ins.

    ...and so it is written in the Carver's Holy Almanac that the Gods Pow, Grom , Vertical and FreeTime will shower rewards upon those of good fortune who commit self-sacrifice in the name of the less fortunate by shedding most prized earthly possesions! Luke:2/14 also those same Gods would look most Favorable on the desciple if he were to point the less fortunate to another Coiler FC/AM 172/3 M or non-M. Luke; 2/14,2nd cup of JO...... or.. are yuoooo suuure?

    Perhaps the Prophet Bruce will bring home demos from SES!

    Im trying.. Luke :lol:
