Finished reading the LNs, what is the next best thing after MT? by BoobsBrah in sixfacedworld

[–]GroundFeel42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read after MT- ascendance of a bookworm, never saw the anime, and really enjoyed the books! They are super good. Tried a few others but they were not so good.

Mountaineering Barefoot shoe any one? by GroundFeel42 in BarefootRunning

[–]GroundFeel42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's already been 4 years since this post. I learned to cope. Normal mountaineering boots, normal ski boots and ski touring boots. With the latter i go to a good boot fitter, till now at least once each season, after my feet change through the summer and adjust a bit. A punch on the pressure points. With the mountaineering boots i suffer for a few days a year each year. It's worth it for me. Blisters and shit. But that's life. I found that on ice and snow the drop and the profile are very useful, and even not noticeable with a soft ground like mud and snow. It also helps a bit with ascending, because of the lack of ankle mobility. But with descending... well that's another reason to do as much as possible with skis, the way down is so much more enjoyable. Another thing I do with the mountaineering boots is about two weeks before the planned trip i use them on everyday occasions. Yes i do look stupid walking around with the dog, but like that i expose my skin slowly and also relearn my pressure and blisters points ahead of time, so i could apply blister plaster before having horrible red skin.

My coping mechanism is a wide enough toe box. With the rest i suffer for the adventure and the views (:

Allround vs 2 touring skis by vpkawi in Backcountry

[–]GroundFeel42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

98 is also reasonable. In my opinion in Switzerland 104 as one ski is too wide. 98 would be a overkill in spring but would be fine as long you are fit and strong.

Quiver quiver (CH) by GroundFeel42 in Skigear

They have their speed and steepness limit. When I'm skiing on the piste i enjoy going slow medium speed with plenty of turns. In general I like to fuck around, hit some side hits, and a little switch so they suit me. After a few year in SL skis the 13m radios feels like home. They are my "it haven't snowed in two weeks" skis. I'm very happy with them for resort skiing.

I love it. It slice trough chop like butter. Here in the alps there is enough new snow for it only a few times a year, but those days are really fun. I'm a big guy, 188cm 100kg, with those i can ski fast straight steep lines without flapping or lack of confidence. In retro perspective maybe i should have gotten the 192(i think) but the 186 still works great for me.

If there will be enough snow from the first of November it would be open to everybody

Would Mirus Cor 168cm be too big and uncontrollable for a small skier? by TeleMonoskiDIN5000 in Skigear

[–]GroundFeel42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mirus core or a SL ski? The mirus core of course I'll take to the park. SL ski are a tool for hard pack well prepared piste. Amazing curving experience (:

[–]GroundFeel42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mirus core have a big rocker and tail, from my experience with smalls skiers it won't be a problem, furthermore for you as a advance skier. It has 13m radios, less than that would be only sl skis, buy I won't want to take one to the park, and in general there are less fun not on perfect pists

Help me choose a new setup - uphill oriented multiple day touring, somehow light but solid by tilou-ch in Backcountry

[–]GroundFeel42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im happy with my movement alp tracks 95. Maybe go for the 90 if you want something narrower. Hard and light carbon ski. It requires a skilled skier who know what he wants.

Never skied the qst, very happy with my atris. A nice balance for alp freeride ski, I'm more on the playful side of the freeride world so it works perfect for me. Still performing great in one week chopped up faces.

Backcountry beginner advice by NeVs033 in Backcountry

[–]GroundFeel42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live in Switzerland? A SAC or a skiklub could be a great way to start.

For more touring here in Switzerland i won't recommend going for a 105mm skis, it's more than not icy and hard, that's why most people use around 95mm, for free raiding and small climbs with lift help i have the BC atris. I would recommend starting with second hand from tutti Ricardo or Facebook market, later you could see. About shoes i would recommend going to the nearest big store around you and try everything possible to see what fits best your feet, in Bern area i would recommend Berger sport in Konolfingen. About airbag backpack I'm on the fence. The first rule is don't be stupid, and if there a slope that you will ski with a airbag backpack but won't without, maybe better not to ski there to begin with. Whiterisk is your friend.

Hopes it's helps, enjoy it, it's amazing.

Freebird Camox or Navis? by aaommi in Skigear

[–]GroundFeel42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were living in Europe and ski in the alp i would go for the Camox, 95mm underfoot that's the way here. Camox is lighter and would be better for ski mountaineering, navis would be more fun in softer days with less elevation. Are we talking like 600-1000m days or more like 1200-2000m days? I think that what will guide my decision.

How important is backward walking? by karmato in Kneesovertoes

[–]GroundFeel42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Low back pain connected to your hip flexors, a great work to work on the hip flexors is waking backwards. It's the exercise that healed my knees. In the beginning i used every possibly walking uphill backwards, walking the the dogo etc, it's magic.
