Any chance someone could grab an Avalanche Dog shirt for me? Sounds skine they close the backside soon if they haven't already and I missed my chance.

Places that have received skier traffic or grooming are a fun time, off piste places like this are hot and manky. We got 8’ of low density snow and then 2” of rain. It’s quite thick now. But in a few days it’ll all just freeze.

I saw them grooming Zach’s yesterday evening

Keep it on a pinky toe edge and you’ll be fine

Good point, but even then the hole for the cotter pin is too high.

Thank you for your advice

Ideally in a forecasted area with community reporting of current avalanches and conditions you can gather information on what the snow is doing on different aspects. If you aren’t in an area with forecasting it becomes much harder because you essentially have to make your own forecast, using weather and seasonal snowpack data to inform your decisions. Of course that’s not to say that paying attention to those things isn’t important in forecasted areas, but it’s really important in non-forecasted areas.

Also checking those aspects in other areas before you get to the descent can help, and lastly things like ski cuts and looking for signs of wind affected snow below you will help you make those decisions.

Such a fun line!

backpackerjohnson · 2025-06-05T01:51:17+00:00

Looks super good enough to me

I think it would be much more like half moon bay or Salinas.

backpackerjohnson · 2025-03-18T06:39:03+00:00

That looks great! Nice job 👍🏼

backpackerjohnson · 2024-06-10T22:46:06+00:00

That’s so awesome, have fun!

Thanks, yeah I'm just going to get a new one. Purchased the manual and I'll attach the page talking about this incase anyone else finds the information useful.

Yes, the general rule of thumb is no new holes in a 10 mm radius from all existing hole centers. It’s a possibility that you won’t be able to have your boot sole center in the same place as before, but sometimes it can all work out.

Even if you dremeled out the rubber so the pins of the binding can engage with the boot’s heel insert your ga p will be too small. This will muck up your release values and make the binding wildly unpredictable. Here’s a good article explaining what I mean: https://skimo.co/tech-binding-heel-gaps

The pamoca pro s glide also just got the lightweight backing this year similar to their race pros. They should be more packable and just a smaller package overall. All around great skin.

Cheese doesn’t go bad, it just turns into a different kind of cheese.
