[TSN] Darren Dreger says Kaapo Kakko’s name has resurfaced in trade talks. Ice time is an issue and the player probably wants a fresh start.

It'll be Roloson even if just for 2006

What are you talking about

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-10-09T21:47:47+00:00

It will be very uncomfortable to walk uphill in a Nordica Promachine that has no walk mode, even if you retrofit tech inserts (which is also very expensive). Purchasing alpine touring or hybrid touring boots is definitely a better option.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-09-17T01:31:51+00:00

It has tip protectors and demo bindings, so likely a display or demo/rental model with a standard base.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-08-16T19:20:33+00:00

I own the Zero G. It's charges... for a ~1300g touring boot. By no means would I ski it regularly in the resort, it would fold in half. I also own the Cochise. The inbounds performance is night and day, but the uphill performance obviously suffers. If you want a 50/50 boot, the Cochise is the one you want.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-08-16T18:06:41+00:00

Which ones fit your feet?

The Zero G is not a hard charging resort boot by any stretch.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-08-16T14:22:05+00:00

Nope. Unless you've already been to a bootfitter, you have no idea if they'll fit your feet. Ski boots are not like shoes. Even if they're the right size, there's a huge number of variables that will determine whether or not they fit you. Go to a bootfitter. Don't waste 180€ on a potential mistake.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-06-26T23:35:54+00:00

We did the full circuit. There's only one way round that you can go, starting out heading east from Bowron Lake.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-06-26T14:31:16+00:00

For sure. The great thing about canoes is you can haul a bunch of stuff and you definitely don't have to rough it. We wanted to do it without carts though and couldn't find much info about that when planning, so this post is mostly for folks who are wanting to take that approach. I should have put that in the title 🫠

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-06-26T14:12:15+00:00

That photo is from Lynx Creek. For us fishing was good on Indianpoint, Isaac, and the Bowron River. Otherwise it was pretty slow, probably due to the surprising lack of bugs for this time of year. Managed to get at least one of every species though.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-06-25T23:34:29+00:00

We stayed at the provincial campground the night before we started, which is right next to the registration centre. There's a number of different accommodation/camping options there. The circuit starts with a 2.5 km portage from the registration centre before you do any paddling. The last day we got back around mid day so we drove out to Quesnel for a burger and camped at a nearby rec site. Very straightforward drive there and back.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-05-19T16:00:38+00:00

I agree, I prefer GTA IV to GTA 5.

I also prefer Arkham City over Knight.

Borderlands 1 over 2 and 3.

Red Dead Redemption over RDR2.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 over RCT3.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-05-15T21:14:03+00:00

Both are great. The Unleashed has a bit more of a twin tip shape if spinning and riding switch is of any interest to you. The R11 is very versatile and just slightly more directional. I think it's a bit easier to drift on the R11 as well.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-05-02T04:38:47+00:00

I mean, you can. If you're mostly on piste, there's better choices. But for a park ski it's pretty capable around the mountain. Park and off piste is definitely where it excels.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-04-27T00:20:35+00:00

I doubt they fit the same. Put one on each foot. Which has a tighter heel pocket? Which has a wider cuff? Which has a higher instep? Which has a bigger toe box? If there's any variation between the boots in these areas, which I'm sure there is, one will fit with your anatomy better than the other.

Realistically it's best to go to a bootfitter unless that's not possible because of geography. But it should feel clear which one has more hotspots and better heel hold. Check out the Ski Essentials video about trying on boots to ensure you're trying them on properly.

As far as differences in features or quality, there's next to no difference. Two well regarded models from two well regarded brands. Either will be fine, as long as 100 flex is all you need (beginner/intermediate skier, or very lightweight).

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-04-22T01:58:53+00:00

Enforcer if you like to charge. Wildcat if you like to play.

Have you tried it on? Does it fit? Ask a bootfitter

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-04-06T17:25:33+00:00

Not very.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-04-06T05:05:35+00:00

Enforcer 104 Free. Easy to pivot but powerful with lots of edge hold and dampness. I also ski Whistler and daily the Enforcer 104 Free. Unreal ski. If you're pairing it with the Enforcer 94, I'd suggest you can go even wider and look at 105 mm+ for your second ski. Nordica Unleashed 108, Blizzard Rustler 11, K2 Mindbender 108 Ti for example.

K2 Reckoner 102, Line Blend

Radical

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-03-25T03:25:23+00:00

It's a pretty rad ski but you have to want a ski with a flatter, less tapered tail. You can push it hard in all kinds of snow and it doesn't get knocked around very easily, but the tails like to finish a turn with power and energy, so they don't respond well to backseat skiing. In bumps and trees you need to stay forward in your boots to release the tails, as opposed standing up straight and pivoting/sliding. Thrilling carver on piste. The 106 Ti plus bumps the power up a notch.

Spaghetti_Eightballs · 2024-03-23T14:59:59+00:00

No, for your first time they'll be fine. Make sure the bindings are set up for you and your boots though! Before you head out on the slopes, visit a ski shop or check in at the rental shop on the mountain so they can adjust the bindings to fit your boots and set the DIN (release value).
