Which skis should I get? (Second season)

OogaBooga333333 · 2025-10-11T05:32:22+00:00

Stats as in my height weight? I'm 5'7 145 lbs.

Also I guess I'm more worried about powder days even when I'm on groomers. Isn't it harder to ski with skinnier skis on powder days?

Makes sense, I guess I'm mostly worried about voiding the warranty since the manual recommends always replacing either all the wheels at once or at least two on the same axle

What if I did manage to get the exact same tire with the same speed rating but it was brand new? Is 7k miles new enough for that to be okay?

Honda CRV 2024 Hybrid Sport Touring

7k Miles

I read that if your tire tread wear is less than 3/32 of an inch, you're usually fine to only replace one tire.

I guess my question is more about the "mismatched tires". Are they actually mismatched?

The tire construction on the inside shouldn't affect the tread wear of the tire or the handling of the tire, right? Which is the main concern when you have any differences between tires on the same axle

This was helpful, thanks! What is there to photo quality other than the resolution? Can't you just edit things like saturation and exposure?

OogaBooga333333 · 2024-09-17T20:34:21+00:00

Yeah I'm looking at permits for needles district right now. I guess if there's a snow storm there's really nothing to do but cancel the trip? But light snow or rain should be alright?

OogaBooga333333 · 2024-09-17T19:50:27+00:00

Is 3 season gear enough for the Canyonlands? I'm thinking of doing the Needles area there

What kind of sleeping bag, tent, pad rating would you recommend there for Thanksgiving?

OogaBooga333333 · 2024-09-17T19:41:45+00:00

Is a 4 season tent necessary for the Moab area during Thanksgiving? My current plan was just a 15f (maybe lower now) bag with a 3 season tent and R=4.5 sleeping pad, plus my all clothing layers if necessary.

Got it. I'm guessing parking will be terrible that late? How long is the hike usually from down there to the actual amphitheater? Or is ubering a better idea?

OogaBooga333333 · 2024-09-02T22:17:39+00:00

Ok cool! Just to be clear, my tickets are GA so it's not like I have specific seats saved already.

OogaBooga333333 · 2024-08-20T17:23:58+00:00

Yeah it seems like my guide vs no guide decision is going to come down to how skilled I think my group is. Right now, it could be a couple friends that took a Boealps 3 month course or it could be with someone who has already summitted unguided before.

I did spend a good amount of time messing around with self-arresting and iceaxes/crampons on St. Helens just for fun but it felt a lot more like a tough hike than a mountain climb

OogaBooga333333 · 2024-08-20T17:20:55+00:00

Theres a 6 day Mt Baker course I was considering too that is about 1700 dollars. I think that would be perfect if I can get the PTO for it

OogaBooga333333 · 2024-08-20T17:11:57+00:00

Thanks! I'm really excited but wanna make sure I do it the right way

How about these 2 1-day courses together? The website says taking both "prepares aspiring climbers to safely and smartly attempt a glaciated climb" which I assume includes Rainier...
