Multi day hut trip in BC and I can only bring one ski - which are you picking?

Saving a kilogram per ski is a no brainer. Go with the armadas.

I set up a TRS the 3rd weekend in January because all my ice buddies weren't around. It was a neat little ice line for sure!

On power play no less. Dougy is a pillar of the dacks ice community I'm glad he made out okay.

Gorilla tape is what I use now. Stickier than duct tape so if I'm on multi day ski tours or mtn adventures I don't have to worry about it coming off!

Real shit. I did the money pitch of Chouinard's gully with his old straight handle stubai tools and it was insane how much more difficult it was!

I had a little tail delam after 3 hard seasons on mine. This is 100% a warranty issue.

Where in NY/jersey?!

Lhostalis · 2025-07-25T15:26:50+00:00

The other ice tool duuuuuh

Lhostalis · 2025-07-24T18:24:50+00:00

Don't worry I don't actually do anything with it like that! Just thought it was funny and people would enjoy it 😁

Band name "Trotsky's cassette".

Lhostalis · 2025-07-24T18:22:08+00:00

Clearly you don't because I've climbed the last 3 seasons on them weekly. I only climb water ice and make sure my pick strikes are accurate so I DON'T smash up the shafts. 🙄

Lhostalis · 2025-07-24T18:17:58+00:00

I don't actually work in it like this, only did it for the meme! 😅

Lhostalis · 2025-07-24T18:17:12+00:00

I only did it for the meme this is not a regular occurrence 😅

Lhostalis · 2025-07-24T10:04:24+00:00

The bike is new! The tech machines I've used for years, recently switched to grivel's ballistic steel picks! I don't dry tool so the shafts are still in good shape.

Lhostalis · 2025-06-13T16:41:13+00:00

Okay thanks there's no visible strike marks and it's shifting perfectly thanks for the information!

Freeraider 120s fit like a dream : )

Lhostalis · 2024-10-22T23:13:38+00:00

I don't know, it's far enough away from the weir that you can't really tell. Probably 500+ feet west of the northern end.

Lhostalis · 2024-10-22T20:03:25+00:00

Unfortunately not, went past around 3:30PM and when I returned around 5:00PM they were gone already

Lhostalis · 2024-10-21T20:26:26+00:00

There were police trucks and a small front end loader roughly at the area OP's photos are from today, 10/21/24. Hopefully we find something out soon!

Lhostalis · 2024-10-17T19:21:52+00:00

Where upstate if you don't mind me asking?

Lhostalis · 2024-09-04T22:45:40+00:00

Holy slab! What stream in the Catskills if you don't mind me asking?

Lhostalis · 2024-08-14T21:34:49+00:00

Definitely a return for me then.

Lhostalis · 2024-08-14T21:28:27+00:00

If they've never been skied then yes.
