    Has anybody ever seen this before?  I was struggling to clip in rear boot last time out. Cleaned heels off and found tread piece separating from rest of heel that was the culprit and couldn’t “snap” it back in. All four screws were tight holding hard part of heel to boot.
     

    New set ordered needless to say. Just a reminder to constantly check these parts out frequently for safety. And no, never going back to traditional.

    Looks like you got your moneys worth out of these. How much hiking to the lift do have to travel?

    Apparently mine has a first for Coiler feature... grey sidewall ptex.

     (presume @ShortcutToMonctonwas still 'stock' white?)

    Got mine out for a quick hour before the lifts closed today...  it was confidence inspiring.  Not enough ride time to assess properly just yet, but I'm stoked as it cut through the mess we had with the recent ~10cm that fell since yesterday.

    I actually wrote a review of the bag but Amazon rejected it saying my review doesn't comply with community guidelines.  I'm one of those Vine reviewers and have written a lot of reviews and haven't yet figured out what Amazon doesn't like about the review of the bag.

    No surprise there. Internet fact checking, truth scrubbing, the powers that be keeping the masses in the dark at its best right there. SMH

    Bonus points for a solution that fits boards up to 185cm.  😎

    I was lucky to buy a couple of Rossignol board bags that is padded in the middle, water proof and can handle 210's. Unfortunately they don't make them anymore 

    I found this but it's expensive. Do I win bonus points? https://www.amazon.com/Snowboard-Waterproof-Capacity-Adjustable-Foldable/dp/B0BN893SW4/ref=asc_df_B0BN893SW4?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80745517015671&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584345038645201&psc=1

  9. Cracked Boots

    Noticed this crack on the outside of my right (front) boot after riding this morning. And, after closer inspection, found another crack starting in a similar spot on the inside of my left boot. Figure these are pretty much toast at this point, but was looking for input on if these are safe to ride. Not sure I've got enough time or $$$ to pick up new boots before I fly out to MCC.

    Just say No to Crack!

  15. What's the deepest pow day you have ridden?

    in The Lodge

    Posted

    First day for this season this year was at a little gem of a mountain Lost Trail MT. Second day opener with 14" fresh on a untouched run with a base of 41". So deep, nose of pow board got buried and I went arse over tea kettle. Took me 10 minutes to pack enough snow under my hands and board to get stood up again. Skier buddy 20 yards from me did the same thing. A lot of work but so much fun.

    Today at Bridger Bowl we had 18" of pow with 22" on the ridge with more tonight. What a day! 

    What's your deepest powder day?

    That's a good one Corey!

    Speaking of boards flying away, there's also Don't Be Stupid!......Was riding up the lift at Boreal for 1st lap night riding and it's a deep pow night and for some reason I decide it's imperative to check I'm solidly attached to my front TD3 SW SI....so what do I do......In a brain fart moment I pull the friking release lever and in shock and embarrassment I see my board drop like a bomb and nose over an auger in nose first in the ungroomed steeps under the lift towards the top.......and disappear!  Gone, Vanished.

    So I get to the top and just casually walk off the chair and the lifty just stares  but doesn't say a word.   So I start walking sliding, wading back down to where I last saw the board and spend a hour+ digging here and there for buried treasure until I was about to give up and actually sat down on the tail of the board!  All my pit digging had drifted me downhill and away from the groom, so once I got the board out the real work started.....it was so deep to get back out to the groom I had to lay on top of the board and surf paddle out of the pow.   I was so spent from all that when I finally got back down I was toast and just  went straight to the car!  No even one....and Done!

    Yikes!  That's scary beyond belief E!   You one lucky dude!! 

    Senor moment? Lol....

     

  21. MCC road trip - what other resorts should I visit?

    Below is my current plan. I'll be driving north on I-15 to Turner with a half-day stop at Eagle Pass, and then stopping at resorts on the way back down after MCC. Resorts included in my passes are in black. Resorts I will have to pay for are in red.

    @dredman I have Discovery in the current schedule. The back bowls there look great! Whitefish and Grand Targhee are maybes - depends on my budget and energy levels. I don't want to pay $100+ for a lift ticket if my legs are too sore to enjoy it.

    @ibrussell Lost Trails is on the list and included in my Indy Pass. I may go up there again in March for a banked slalom event. Right now Snowbasin and Grand Targhee are maybes. Snowbasin is pushing the price for me, especially when I have Pow Mow as part of my Indy Pass. But TBD.

    @kibber I may be stopping at Grand Targhee midweek on the way home, although I'm not sure yet. I currently have Beaver Mountain UT on the schedule since my Indy Pass covers it. Or, it may be a rest day. I will probably play it by ear. Since it is a weekday, I am guessing they won't sell out of window tickets?

    Thanks all for the advice!

    If I were you Grand Targhee is a bucket list! High speed quads and speed six, Lots of wide groomers and wide open terrain. I wish I lived close enough for a daily mountain. Discovery has a fun back side for Powder days. I would do discovery before Lost Trail because of back tracking

    Blue runs off of Ram Charger like Ambush, Silver Knife, Big Horn. Off of Southern Comfort a nice green to blue there's El Dorado run under the chair with others on that side of slope which are nice cruisers. Swift Current there's Lobo, Calamity Jane, Crazy Horse, Mr. K is a nice green run for nice cruising. Enjoy! Its hell of a mountain to play on.
