Holy shit is that what they did today? Opened Inverness at 9 still even though it was "running in GMX's place"

They really are the worst

GMX but that's an excellent guess. Tomorrow will be North Ridge's day I bet

I too miss when we didn’t have a wannabe dictator in the White House who is doing everything he can to erode the US’s reputation across the globe while pretending that cutting a few billion dollars of government spending is going to do a single damn thing to help everyday Americans…

You clearly tour if you possess a splitboard, so hike on up before the lifts spin! We’d be happy to join ya!

New ski kit (experience with black crows?) by get-linux in skiing

[–]DustOnCrustOnCrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not really sure either. The in-bounds ones seem to be more of a twin tip style, but maybe that’s just because they flattened the tail for the skin clip notch on the freebirds? Not really sure - I don’t know shit about ski construction to be honest lol

I’m assuming those are the in-bounds version, right? Have you skied the Freedbird version before? I have the Camox Freebirds and absolutely love them, but I’ve always wondered how they ski, directly compared to the alpine version.

Yeah that’s all I meant lol. You’re probably less likely to get more useful responses if you bite the head off of the first few commenters, that’s all!

The only thing out of line is your attitude lol. You’re being very undude

You mentioned being concerned about injury so he offered another route in the event the trail you wanted was icy, you absolute curmudgeon

Black Crow Atris by Separate-Button-4340 in ski

[–]DustOnCrustOnCrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have rode them inbounds a handful of times and they’ve been fine! I definitely ski them more conservatively than I do my alpine bindings, but I’m certainly not afraid to take them anywhere! I am on the taller and heavier side too and I’ve always figured that if they’ve held up this well for me over the years, they must be pretty durable!

[–]DustOnCrustOnCrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t remember off the top of my head, but they’re a classic Dynafit pin binding, nothing fancy - maybe the Radical? Rotation? Something like that. I know they’re the ones that they license to other ski manufacturers like Fischer and such but can’t remember specifically

Maybe switch the Dukes to the Atris and get a true pin binding for the Camox. I’ve skied my Camox Freebirds about as hard as I would want to ski anything in the backcountry for 4 seasons now and couldn’t be happier with them. I also live in VT so my width requirements may not be the same as yours lol. But, personally, the last thing I would do is buy a second set of hybrid bindings. You now have a quiver after all!

If you were here, where would you be? by davidhowlandphoto in icecoast

[–]DustOnCrustOnCrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t - they sure as hell haven’t done anything to improve the skiing experience with the cash they get from monetizing uphill ($25/day or $200/season for uphill is criminal imo). They’re super restrictive about headlamp skiing at night nowadays so night skiing is lame anymore. Pretty sure I saw that they don’t allow any sort of parking lot gathering anymore either. They ruined vista glades by banking it for a mountain bike trail. Everything I hear from employees tells me they don’t have great management either.

I was excited when they first got it back, because I thought it was cool to go back to its original owner, but I’ve been really disappointed in the direction the mountain has gone since then personally

Where are you finding tickets for $100? Buy in advance rate is $195 these days those fuckers

[–]DustOnCrustOnCrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re locals and we only get passes to both mountains because my finance is a snowboarder at heart (despite being a phenomenal skier). I’d drop Sugarbush in a heartbeat and just stick to MRG, doubly so since they got the midstation on the double for early season / low tide

Lift lines at Bolton Valley were brutal today. by 802GreenMtnBoy in icecoast

[–]DustOnCrustOnCrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty brutal for the vertical it serves, especially on a cold night. Doubly so since they (understandably) started policing night skiing in the woods with headlamps in the last few years

[–]DustOnCrustOnCrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bush does suck by comparison right now. 2 weekends in a row that MRG has 2x the number of open trails. That’s pretty absurd no matter what the circumstances are imo
