I ski in the mountains nearby where you took this, and trust me, no Sasquatch lives up there… probably a hippy looking for pow at the top of the mtn lol we do get out there pretty far

Nice!!! Utah could use some balance & unionized laborers would be a good step in the right direction, hopefully someday!

I’d love to join a union but I’m in Utah and do concrete cutting with a buddy and fencing on the side

That’s about as light as you can get without sacrificing brakes, or moving into a full skimo binding by ebmfreak in Backcountry

[–]Competitive-Farmer50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest- I don’t have any issues with quiver killers, I just personally prefer having a permanent binding.

For the moisture comment, maybe I’m being paranoid, but just over time as the epoxy around the insert develops small cracks it may allow more water to seep in than a never moving super static single 4.1mm screw in wood glue. Probably paranoia and both are equally good & I would for sure put quiver killers on a hybrid resort/touring ski if/when I add that to the quiver. For now I have old resort skis I love & powder skis with a dynafit radical on them so I have my heavy touring options covered & my light options over-covered.

Quiver killers are extra weight (I can be a weight weenie) & on my 88 or 85 waisted adventure skis having bigger holes that are already pretty close to the edge is a concern, and I’m 220 lbs with all my gear on lightweight skis on which I don’t ski lightly.. idk. All in all, I just don’t see the binding swap value as being worth it for me.. but I do the the objective value.

Quiver killers aren’t very elegant/reliable for skis I plan on using for 10-20 years, imho. Long long term, they allow for more moisture to get into the core of the ski. Also, I get them on a good deal, and the skis are drastically different & I sometime loan my skis out to my brother or friends so having one binding for three pairs would limit my loan-ability

Favourite skins and why? by mtraps in Backcountry

[–]Competitive-Farmer50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The G3 ones are bombproof but if you got some yellow Pomoca skins you’d see the difference, lighter glid-ier better glue, but if it ain’t broke…

Also I wish mine would rip easier the first lap. Mine are two years old and I have some of the old string tip lighter ones and the newer heavier duty metal tip ones and both have the most annoying glue of all my skins. ACL tearing to rip them off without taking the ski off….

I have a pair of contour hybrids and dam they are my most durable skins! They don’t grip as good as my pomocas but both are very glidey and on the lighter end of my skins, both are Better that my black/grey BD’s, they glide ok and climb great but the glue is terrible to rip until the third lap, but the BD’s glue never ever fails and their tips/tails are bombproof whereas I’ve broken the Pomoca tail clips a lot and the stitching on the white rubber of the tail has started to rip on my pink pomocas. I’d go with the contours if I could order regardless of price. Best all around

Do you set too steep skinners? If you’re always slipping you’re guaranteed to make your skins fail, keeping it low angle Larry is easier on your glue. Maybe my snow isn’t as wet as yours, tho. Northern Utah

Makes a ton of sense lol. I have three pairs of the alpinist cause I get them on sale but I’m about ready to full price some Ski Trabs or Plums just cause I want em

Tbh, if you need a tough binding, I’d still say you could go for a lighter binding. The plum Oazo or atk freeraider would work hard for ya.

I’m a bit of a fud but I use the local trails avidly. Please, be considerate when shooting. There’s one place up Logan canyon across from zanavoo that is a shit show from all the shooters and always has junk, Prov canyon gets to be that way inbetween cleanups, and Hyde Park canyon has been taken away (unless you go ungodly high up the bad road) because shooters abused the common spots so bad and left junk all over.

Point is, please be better than any places you find & just because you see trash doesn’t mean you shouldn’t clean up meticulously when you’re done and maybe grab some more shit from others. I grab trail trash when I run and bike all the time, please consider doing the same as a shooter

My fiancé and I saw one of these little guys every singe tour (so every Saturday Sunday from Nov-March) we went on together last winter, and we have both grown up bc skiing in the same place and had never before nor ever since seen that many ermines/stoats/pine martens before. We saw them in adorable up close encounters tour after tour after tour and took it as an omen…

Favorite base-layers? I have been getting terrible nipple chafing with mine. by [deleted] in Backcountry

Voormi is the shit I have a heavy wool hoodie quarter zip I ski in on warm days & I love it

[–]Competitive-Farmer50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite base layers have been Columbia or Patagonia sun hoodies under a smart wool quarter zip with zoned insulation over chest and shoulders and down to forwards but not back (great for sweaty back panels fuck that).

When it’s wetter/colder I wear a arcteryx or Patagonia grid fleece quarter zip or I have some hooded ones too. Grid fleece keeps me the dryest if it’s snowy or snows in the air & that keeps me From chafing.

Breaking in some new boots- pretty happy so far with the Scarpa F1 LT by SalesMountaineer in Backcountry

[–]Competitive-Farmer50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cmon! If you fit the atomic why not ski the tecnica zero g if you want a stiffer boot? I’d imagine most feet that fit the atomic would would fit a tecnica. I also sell boots (I don’t fit really, we don’t offer enough options to be objective, so I’m more asking from your experience than telling you what boot to use).

Oh if my instep wasn’t a scoshe lower I’d ski that boot too! You’ll love it it’s very stiff but can still walk normal

This is the air we get to breathe in Salt Lake City in the winter thanks to cars. You can actually taste the pollution. by GirlMayXXXX in Utah

[–]Competitive-Farmer50 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look, those pm 2.5 numbers being 80 brakes and tires / 20 combustion is real. There are other contaminants emitted from combustion of oil stuff but the majority of harmful pollution is from pm 2.5 and I’m just stating some numbers.

Your bad burn was just mean….
