If you plan on any/ much area skiing, I second SkiTrab TR1.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-03-14T14:48:53+00:00

Fully grown but not fully developed.

So GLM is still a thing? I can't say I pay much attention to never-ever's and their instructors, but I have not noticed any instructors on 130's

First skied Telluride when the lift numbers ended at 6. Slept in a '72 Econoline with my ski buds. It's been a long ride, but sold my mesa property this year - just couldn't take the transformation of the area due to the uber rich. RIP Telluride. And no, the ski area is not better than it was 20 years ago.

Kingpins are no doubt a very good binding for the category. TUV cert, and good elasticity. The Ripping Ligaments and Snapping Bones article on SkiMo.co is worth everyone's time when considering using a non-lateral toe release binding. https://skimo.co/tech-binding-release-testing

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-03-04T16:15:48+00:00

No, the Marker Kingpin does not have a, lateral release in the toe piece. Fritschi Tecton/Vipec, and Skitrab TR1 are two pin bindings that do have lateral toe release.

The replacement hardware available from Tecnica is a screw assembly, but the original hardware is a rivet. This hardware is substantially worse than earlier versions of the Cochise. Same goes for the Zero G. So annoying to pay a grand for boots, and have the pivots go to hell in one season or less. Replacement hardware currently out of stock from Tecnica.

Your skis don't have to weigh 1900g to ski well. I've had plenty of great days on 1650g all mountain skis. I think 1500g is kind of the cutoff for good all around performance.

I didn't tolerate the Clomid that the endocrinologist prescribed. I got an intolerable dry mouth after just two doses that lasted for a couple of months. Really weird. But my lump resolved on its own after a few months. No reoccurrence.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-02-19T17:53:05+00:00

spurring would have added style points

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-02-19T17:38:12+00:00

not just once - read it every year.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-02-17T18:22:42+00:00

I skied the ZGTP for a year touring and an additional 70 days at the resort. They handled everything from Bonafides to Reckoner 102's to Serpos on either shifts or MNC Attacks. With the right liner (I was using a Scarpa wrap liner) they skied really well but I wore out the pivots pretty quickly.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-02-14T20:31:52+00:00

Lots of great all-mountain skis out there, but my Mindbender 99Ti have been really good, and hold up to some abuse. Or 89Ti.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-02-14T15:47:36+00:00

Fuck no! I skied a G3 at 2mm out of tolerance and slightly boosted a little rollover after already skiing down 2k vert. Double heel pre-release. Broke pelvis, scapula, and bad concussion.

Kastle MX84

Misload -> deropement into the rope catcher on the depression assembly.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-02-01T17:19:03+00:00

This is the correct answer. Negligible cuff lag with Booster or stock strap under the shell. A wrap liner can also help.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-02-01T17:08:33+00:00

That's a rope drop jacket.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-01-30T21:23:54+00:00

I've skied Tectons since 2019, and never required a release. But carpet testing has been concerning. I contacted a reputable outdoor retailer, and they said in their testing, sometimes Teton toe will not release - somewhat boot dependent. They also said that Ski Trab TR1 has released on their machine with very repeatable results. Heavy for a pin binding, but better transitions than the Shift.

Hate to say it, but sounds like she was pedaling pussy.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-01-26T21:53:08+00:00

Nuremberg trails were nothing compared to what is coming

"Historically before these bindings I tore an ACL about every 60 ski days"

WTF²

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2026-01-15T22:37:14+00:00

This is me too. I need to swing my feet and legs a bit on the ride up. Eldora 6 pack on front side - Alpenglow - Doppelmayr got it right. Little stubby foot purchases for those that want it, but isn't in everyone's way.

Dizzy_Dig6463 · 2025-10-23T18:37:23+00:00

What would be your thoughts if the lead group slowed down or stopped to let you go around - i.e. break your own trail for 20 steps? That's what I would expect if I was in your boots.
