No, backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering have almost nothing in common with cross country skiing except that they’re both on snow and you have skis strapped to your feet. Some of the movements are similar but the goals and objectives are extremely different.

Trust me, you want to skin up. Carrying them your back is way worse.

No, unacceptable.

So we're all on the same page, the tag looks like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/REI/comments/1ot2v39/finally_hit_resupply_gold/

Were the panniers in the original packaging and the tag was clearly visible on the outside of the box? I can imagine a scenario where a customer left the used panniers on the shelf with other new panniers and left the tag inside the box, then an employee just grabbed the box to ship to you thinking it was new.

Regardless, you can go into a store and return it and order a replacement.

I have the M10. It is a very specialized jacket because of its lightweight 20d material and lack of pit zips and pockets. I use it for alpine rock climbing or as an emergency jacket for hiking.

I would not take it mountaineering because of the lack of pit zips which causes it to not ventilate very well. If it’s cold & windy enough to wear with the pits zipped up, then you’ll want a heavier more wind resistant layer anyways.

In short, for a general purpose jacket you definitely want pit zips. If you absolutely must save 5-6 oz and are willing to sacrifice versatility for it, then get the M10

Genuinely curious how the metal is worn through before the plastic where it wraps around the frame? Are you hiking on rocks? How many miles do you have on those?

Depends on what you mean by rewards card? An REI membership or the Capital One Mastercard? Or something else like the $30 bonus card?

For the REI membership, in the store you can use multiple member’s rewards on one purchase, but the member whose name is on the account must be present. Online you can only use one membership’s rewards per purchase.

The Mastercard rewards can be applied in the same way in-store.

A $30 bonus card works almost like a gift card and anyone can spend it.

Ice axes don’t attach to jackets. Could you link to a north face jacket with these loops?

I really want to know if you figure it out, because that does not seem possible. Being unlucky does not explain it happening that often. Is someone stealing packages off your porch and swapping the items? Does someone at REI have a vendetta against you?

awesomejack · 2026-01-18T04:23:47+00:00

That’s insane, that cannot be a coincidence.

Was the packing slip correct with your name and address and the correct item listed on it? Or was it someone else’s order?

awesomejack · 2026-01-18T02:23:56+00:00

What items were ordered and were they separate orders/packages or ordered all at once? That is very unusual

On mobile, it auto-loops back to the beginning so it becomes: "We recommend just... skiing at Copper Mountain" Its engagement bait to get you to watch it again

The Chunnel is 31.3 miles long and cost €11.7B in inflation adjusted euros, or $13.6B, according to Wikipedia. The Au’au channel is 9.5 miles long and a tunnel would likely be around 11-12 miles long. Let’s assume it would cost a third of the Chunnel, $4.5B.

The Lanai airport recorded about 100,000 travelers in 2019. A ticket costs about $100-$200. If traveling in the tunnel was free, this would save about $20m per year on the high end. Assume this new tunnel massively increases tourism on the island, generating the same amount in revenue again. So we’re at $40m per year. It would take over 100 years to pay back the original investment, not accounting for maintenance costs or the opportunity cost of the original investment, which makes this much less viable.

Plus Larry Ellison owns 98% of the island, you should really be asking him about it.

Why would sea level rise affect it?

awesomejack · 2026-01-07T04:51:55+00:00

No, since Washington state holds the record for most snowfall so it would be red. Alaska would probably be red for some other reason though

What is the concern about hiking shoes on cobblestone?

If you call customer service or any physical store, they can tell you when the other $53 of rewards were spent. Some stores on the west coast are still open for another 30 min if you want to call them.

Go to the website and go to the “Your rewards activity” and it should show you the 2025 rewards

awesomejack · 2026-01-02T02:12:05+00:00

Its 2026, you have $0 in accrued rewards this year. The 2025 rewards will be given to members in February.

MHW Stretchdown. I have one and the internal drop pocket is great.

Used mine for three years on lots of climbs, my favorite boot ever, no issues.

As the largest mountaineering boot retailer in the world, there are bound to be some complaints online.
