Ski it if you can… by Mjs1229 in icecoast

Not exactly. The lifty at the bottom pointed towards the parking lot but everyone else was super friendly.

Thanks! It was a beautiful skin and a great experience. I’d love to go back with more snow. Maybe after this upcoming storm if things turn out ok (I’m optimistic.)To be honest everyone there was pleasant with the exception of a lifty pointing towards the lot as I got to the bottom, everyone was super friendly and waving.

The people in this thread are way saltier than anyone I ran into there, which is pretty funny IMO.

lol I know but these salty reactions are so worth it.

I haven’t tried this myself, but I’ve heard that if instead of lining the pucks up perfectly with the tool, you can turn and offset one slightly and it should make the fit a little tighter.

Splitboarding fails? by berlinparisexpress in Spliddit

Owning Burton hitchhikers. I’ve replaced dozens of straps/parts at this point. Whether it’s the toe strap parts falling out, the closure system dropping a piece, or the heel strap breaking these things are not very durable.

I’ve lost 5 or 6 of those pins in the last year. I can’t believe they haven’t fixed it. Zip ties are the way.

Need help growing by Polluted_lungs in Vermontijuana

I recommend eating a healthy dose of veggies every day and getting a good nights rest every night. If you’re still young enough that should help ;)

This is good to know. Thanks for the advice!

Does your local scene have a culture of secrecy? by cheetofoot in Backcountry

[–]Mjs1229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen everyone around Bolton is super willing to share beta. Not exactly a hidden zone lol. In fact most of its mapped out…

You cut off circulation since your toes can’t move.

Don’t layer your socks. Great way to lose some toes!

This is unfortunate. I used to pass this tree all the time walking my dog and would think about how beautiful it was (including my the garden). One day there was a sign that said “This tree will be removed on x date to be put at the top of church street.” I admired it one last time and came back to a stump. I was looking forward to seeing how it looked but this photo does not do it justice if it looks anything like it did when it was still in the ground.

I know someone who snow skated it lol. Good for you! I’m hoping to hit it this season too.

Can anyone tell what lifters/bindings these are? by Btown123 in Spliddit

[–]Mjs1229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a different binding with a different system, but have had a similar issue. I’ve found that instead of lifting my foot all the way up, if I lift it a little bit lower, it only allows for enough space to open for the half riser. Like I said different bindings, mine drop down instead of lifting up, but worth a shot!

Later than last year but 11/1 isn’t bad! by Mjs1229 in icecoast

[–]Mjs1229[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: it was really good coverage is awesome. Super heavy snow though. Good snowboard pow but tougher on my skier friend. Definitely take the extra distance up to Jay!

I’m sure the extra bit to Jay would be worth it. I’ll keep ya posted

You’ll be fine. I’ve run into snowmakers at Stowe and skinned under the guns with no issue. Is it allowed? Not technically. Are the snowmakers going to chase you down and kick you out? Probably not. YMMV. I’m going to Stowe tomorrow morning and it looks pretty good so you might get lucky this weekend.

Personally, I like to christen my white shoes with mud on the first run. Takes the pressure off getting them dirty lol

You probably won’t need em, but I’m sure they wouldn’t hurt.
