What are you getting on them?

AT or Tele?


I need gnU skins. Or at least I need to trim mine a bit skinnier. I need to find the right combination to get max glide with them on.

185s and they still look short for me.

They are a Cadillac ride, though.

You should go fritchies right off. You won't regret it.

That, and you also won't have to worry about the top getting re-drilled to mount a second binding.

Do it! I wont' ever go back to a non-AT binding.

If you're thinking about that route, go straight for the Fritchis. Skip the Alpine and a set of holes in the base.

Do you have the free rides? I think i'd go that route as I don't have funds for at boots.


I don't have funds for anything, really.

I think I am saying this to mute ears, though:

The huge difference between traditional alpine bindings and the AT binding is how the ski performs.

Alpine bindings leave a flat spot beneath your boot, regardless of what the duhd in the ski shop says, no matter why type of lifter you get. This won't let the ski flex to its fullest, thereby decreasing performance and causing you to work that much harder when it counts.

AT bindings are attached at the centerpoint of the ski and allow the entire thing to flex as you turn. The difference is HUGE. I demoed a pair of Vokl fatties this past winter just to get a feel for a different brand. At lunch I went back to the Megawatts and felt a huge change in how the ski flexed. Enough so that I convinced my father to try my ski/binding out for a run and then let him have his back. This year he's heading off with AT bindings - and he doesn't do any backcountry.

Yes the freerides. Love them.

I was thinking of a dynafit binding, but figured the Freerides would be more versatile. My next set of skis may have a dynafit binding, but that will happen when I get gnU bootz. I'm good for nao - well, except for the fact that I need a new liner this winter.

Fritchis will cost me $250 - alpine bindings, $60.

I'm not super concerned about remounting them, I'll do it in my basement shoppe.

You can rent an avi beacon for now....

I've been without one since I left Japan (and had to turn in my issued one from guiding). The best thing in forecasting is know your limits, and take a course. If anything, while you are in To-hell-you-ride be sure to pick up one of the Ricco reflectors and stick it in your ski jacket. Forget it's there and make it a perminant home. It's a start w/o a beacon.

I need to get a beacon too...

Don't insult those skis with an alpine binding, woman!


That, and despite your best efforts, you will still have to fill and re-drill holes in them. That's just bad ski karma.

I have my avy 2, a beacon would just make my mom a little happier (but not so happy she'll buy one for me!) make me feel better too, depending on who i was with.

Recco is for body recovery and nothing more. Yer fucked anyhoo.

I think it's a toss up. They're both fun, but IMHO I'd rather be skiing. Then again I've been skiing for 26 years now, so it's rather natural for me.

Ice climbing... I have a season (mostly) behind me.

I got out to rumney on friday and had a fun day. Didn't climb as well as I'd have liked, but it was still a great time.
I climbed rocks this weekend.

Finally redpointed one route I've been trying the last couple of weekends. That thing was getting to be a thorn in my side. I thought I would do it the first day.

Did a training day today at the old place we used to always go. Turns out my endurance is better than I thought. I thought I was going to be in terrible shape for the Red. Hopefully I'll be okay.

Good jorb.
My endurance is the suck. I need to pull out SCC and read up on how to fix that.
Climb lots. Stop getting on routes way over your head so you are actually climing instead of hanging on the rope.Climb at Jack's crag. Get a circuit of moderately hard routes that you can do a big training day on.

Yeah, that's the problem. Lately, I haven't been able to climb lots. But I've been training. Nothing replaces the movement of clibing though. Fortunately, I think I've worked out some time to hit the gym during the week.

I don't have funds for anything, really.
You can rent an avi beacon for now....

I've been without one since I left Japan (and had to turn in my issued one from guiding). The best thing in forecasting is know your limits, and take a course. If anything, while you are in To-hell-you-ride be sure to pick up one of the Ricco reflectors and stick it in your ski jacket. Forget it's there and make it a perminant home. It's a start w/o a beacon.

I need to get a beacon too...

I have my avy 2, a beacon would just make my mom a little happier (but not so happy she'll buy one for me!) make me feel better too, depending on who i was with.

Recco is for body recovery and nothing more. Yer fucked anyhoo.
Recco searches are becoming more popular as the technology advances. I know 6 of the Tahoe resorts utilize the technology.

I want to check out Prudential

timing is everything. we have 2 days. one of the afternoons we could get on it and you can suss out beta

yeah, I'd love to try it. I'm hesitant to spend too much time on it, though, since projecting it will be tough.

'Sides, I thought the beta on that one was "pull!!"

Social is on my list too! gadnabit!

Who cares if we take it up for the day, it's not like it will be going anywhere soon. sides, I need to pull off Things still.

Yeah, because that's super polite at a crowded crag...
Put your draws up and as your resting make it known that it's free and open for other people to hop on. Only problem with that is that if enough people get on it between your burns some holds might have to be brushed again (if stuff required brushing in the first place).
So after thinking about it (and reading other people's post) this is only okay on a popular route if you're not doing a massive hang dog session. I was thinking of routes that might take you several tried, not routes that you can't do the moves on yet.
Indeed.

There is nothing worse that a bunch of gumbies in over their heads hanging all over the root all day long.
Correct.
On the flip side, I was chatting with a friend who climbs at Rumney a lot, and there is a .12b that a lot of people warm up on for .13s. etc. Problem is, .12 is one of the classics, and lots of people want to redpoint it. So you have someone using it to work their limits and a bunch of pissed-off locals at the base because their warm up is occupied.

Spraylord! Git em Jax!!!!two
You people seem to be under the impression that I've climbed those routes.Crazy

They are a Cadillac ride, though.
