So I managed to tear out the two screws the furthest back on one of the heel pieces on my STH 14s (drivers) but the front screws are still snug since they got heli coils. I basically just need one more day out of them for closing day. The skis have been re-mounted a couple times with STHs and...

Looking to pick up a proper touring setup this year. I plan to go with a tech binding, on a ski somewhere between 105 and 115 underfoot. I'm 6'1", 190lbs, ski the BC interior, and usually at about a DIN 10-11 with Pivots. I like fat slarvey skis, I've gone through two pairs of Bent Chetlers and...

I have spent way too much time and money at different fitters in Edmonton with absolute shit for fit, due to my oddly shaped feet. I don't know much of what's going on in regards to shops in Calgary/Banff/Canmore area, but I am definitely going to make the drive if someone recommends me a great...

I'm looking for a new midlayer, and instead of going out and grabbing a fresh Armada/Oakley/Jiberish/Saga sweater, why not show a smaller comapny some support? I've looked at Phar North, but if there's anyone who you guys think deserves the support, or if there's any NS user owned companies...

6'2", 190lbs, DIN 12 for most days, 13-14 for pow 183 Bent Chetlers Aggressive freeride style Basically, I'm looking for a binding that won't fuck itself landing switch in soft snow, but still not be a bear trap on shit days on the frontside. I don't see myself turning up my DINs at all out...

I like fat skis. I have daily driven my Bent Chetlers for a couple seasons, and they're fun, but when the snow gets really nasty, I'm not having as much fun as they guys I ski with on their, narrower, stiffer skis. My question to you is if I should grab a set of CRJs (I can get a pair...

I am planning to go to COC this summer. I'm definitely more of a big mountain/freeride skier, but I really want to get better in the park for those shitty snow days. I am basically comfortable with 3s on 15-20ft jumps, and 5s on 10ft jumps. FS Surface swaps and lip slides are basically all I...

I am currently rocking some gen 1 EG2s, and they fog up like crazy whenever I'm not moving and are pretty beat up. Time to replace them with something newer, and I can't decide between the 3 above. I love my EG2s for fit/aesthetics/value, but I don't want the same problem. Have they updated...

I'm 6'2", 190lbs, Type 3+ skier. I ride DIN 11 on my pow skis right now, and I find in soft snow when I land (especially switch) (with a proper, shop-done binding adjustment) I am pre-releasing. My Axial 120s have bit the shit for me. Now the question is, what binding? I am putting them on 183...

Okay, so I get a discount on certain brands through my work. My current daily drivers are Bent Chetlers, even when the snow gets real shitty just because I hate narrow, traditional camber skis right now. I bought Switchblades last year, and I can't stand them after riding fatties for so long. I...

I have gone through 4 or 5 pairs of Dakine Cobras, and loved them. Not too warm, always stayed dry. Problem is that I have retarded long fingers, and the XL is too short. I want something that will last me 100+ days, actually be large enough, and like I said, Gore-Tex and full leather...

So I got an opportunity to swap my 04 2.5 RS (170000KM) for a 1996 STi (71000KM). I would jump on it, except I'm skeptical about RHD. In a left turning lane, you would be blind, and in a right turning lane, you would be sucked against the curb. It just looks like it would fuck up my driving...

Okay, so I am really new to the idea of touring. I have only been in the BC twice, once on a sled, once in a cat. I love the concept, but I'm a little confused about gear. I was thinking about buying MFD plates for my Bent Chetlers, but then I thought about boots. What IS a touring boot? I know...

So I was browsing the 2012 Freeskier buyer's guide and stumbled upon a Smith ad with a picture of Tim D. The vest he was wearing was bangin! It was black with gold logos and zippers. Was this ever put into production?

I have Bents for pow, and Switchblades for park, but on days at big mountains when there's maybe 15% fresh snow, I am torn, because with the Bents being so soft, cutting crud is fatiguing, and I would rather ski the mountain then the park. I am 6'1", 185lbs, DIN 10-11, and 90% forwards, 10%...

So, I love hand drag 3s, by far my favorite trick to do. I can do them off of nearly anything, but I went on vacation, and tried them off of a windlip with a super steep landing, so you can drop off at least 15-20 feet without popping. While attempting to drag it, I kept landing on my back. I...

I have been looking for stiffer tongues for my Hot Doggers (due to being in stiff boots prior), but having said that, the #6 isn't even that bad in pow. I ski Bent Chetlers about 60% of my ski days, and prior to FTs, I rode a 120 flex Technica Inferno. Between the two boots, in deep pow, with...

XL = 30-31.5 I have the 2012 Hot Dogger #6 tongues. They are all black, minus a blue logo close to the toe. They are not scratched or anything like that, for those of you who care. Looking for preferably a flex 8, maybe a 10 to trade for. I don't give a shit about color. Thanks.

I just got a pair of skis in from d-structure. They mounted the bastards for a 346mm shell at least, and I asked for a 342mm. I would normally just say, whatever and shorten them from the back, but they are mounted center. That would put me over center. They are Marker Squires, and I was...

Where's the best pow right now? We were feeling Baker, but it looks too warm to be pow. (I have no experience with coastal conditions) Any input on Baker? Any other place I should be looking at? Thanks, mucho +K for all actual help.
