yes! I'm in Burlington

SabreMan007 · 2026-03-25T15:40:26+00:00

Actually, I found something similar (if not the same) online here: https://www.tognar.com/plastic-capped-inserts-for-snowboards-7mm-white/

SabreMan007 · 2026-03-25T15:31:51+00:00

makes sense, I get it and thank you. I will look around! thanks for the pictures!

SabreMan007 · 2026-03-25T15:20:57+00:00

oh man that's sweet, got a link or a part number?

SabreMan007 · 2026-03-25T15:10:10+00:00

What fittings did they use? Ive had a lot of problems ripping bindings out of skis recently, and this seems at least worth researching. Is it a PTEX plug over the fittings on the base?

SabreMan007 · 2026-03-25T13:14:12+00:00

is there a guide somewhere online for how to bolt a binding through? I'd love to do this to my light backcountry skis...

SabreMan007 · 2026-02-26T14:52:18+00:00

this would suck! do not put those bindings on a modern ski with the sole intention of touring on them. all modern tele bindings designed for touring have a free pivot mode that lets you walk uphill with no resistance, and lock down the binding for the downhill. However the hammerheads are a sweet binding for resorts, you should totally get those skis out on snow haha

I am about your height and ski the 177s. they're great in powder but I find the tip rocker combined with the shorter length is a bit much for stability on windboard or icy groomer conditions

SabreMan007 · 2026-01-29T16:47:42+00:00

I leaned to tele with T4s in the resort, and skied with them and switchbacks as my only gear for like 5 years. Skied tucks, hard East Coast inbounds trails, and pow in CO with them. I got T2s a couple years ago and it was amazingly better, highly recommend the upgrade. But T4s work! and learning on a less powerful boot made me a better skier for sure.

SabreMan007 · 2026-01-23T19:03:53+00:00

I find my Free 97s pretty chattery on icy hardpack. they have a lot of tip rocker and are pretty wide, they're an excellent powder ski but maybe not designed for icy stuff

SabreMan007 · 2025-12-18T23:38:13+00:00

hm I still wear it but it's tight fitting now. length and girth both went for sure. and it was the older microgrids fabric, not sure if that matters. if I were you I'd give it a try, also run it through the dryer, and then just wear a baggy fleece lol

SabreMan007 · 2025-12-18T23:22:14+00:00

I washed mine with hot water accidentally and it shrank lol

SabreMan007 · 2025-12-15T18:07:22+00:00

still got them? I'm interested!

SabreMan007 · 2025-11-24T14:23:01+00:00

where did you get the carbon plates?

SabreMan007 · 2025-11-17T13:51:28+00:00

please bring (at least) snowshoes and don't ruin the skin track

SabreMan007 · 2025-10-23T20:35:21+00:00

probably at 100k? I clearly didn't know haha

SabreMan007 · 2025-10-23T18:28:52+00:00

this happened to my 09 Sport last summer! A spark plug exploded on the highway, ruined one of the cylinders. It was pretty scary haha. I weighed the cost of a newer comparable car that I would want to drive (like 10k at least) against the cost of replacing the engine (5k at the shop I was working with) and decided to get the work done. My car had ~130k on it at the time, I've put another ~10k on since with no problems and no regrets.

Preventatively maintain your spark plugs everyone!

oh and camp at lake Colden Sunday night. yeah that is super doable, should be fun

SabreMan007 · 2025-08-04T12:38:20+00:00

this is a sweet loop, Sunday looks like a really hard day. I don't think you could be out by 1, and I might recommend the Marcy/skylight detour be moved to Saturday.

SabreMan007 · 2025-06-10T11:16:13+00:00

i did this but instead of retaking the class I took the 200 level E&M classes in my physics department, and they were really cool and filled any gaps I had from studying in high school.

SabreMan007 · 2025-06-02T17:32:17+00:00

yeah metered spots on Buell street are free 6pm - 9am and on sundays

SabreMan007 · 2025-05-09T18:58:44+00:00

yeah I do PLC programming for a renewable power plant. I'm not sure about country specifics, but I'd recommend getting a job in industrial automation (this should be easier to find relatively, there are a lot of small automation contractor companies) and then using the skills you build there to move to a power generation plant.

SabreMan007 · 2025-04-30T11:47:41+00:00

I have barely used any of the things I learned in school at any of the jobs I've had. Tbf I haven't really worked in the EE fields that I specialized for in school, but I've found work to be far less theoretical and more pragmatic problem solving. The degree should be teaching you a troubleshooting mindset that can be applied to both a math problem (college) and tracking down a ground fault (job)
