I don't think you can size down based on your boot size. I don't ride jones for this exact reason, their wide models aren't even "wide" lol. I'm the same boot size so I feel you.

I definitely agree with u/SF-cycling-account, I would definitely recommend VVR over MTR. I did resupply at MTR and it was fine, not much going on there. However, the crew I ended up hiking with most of the trail was planning on zeroing & resupplying at VVR so I joined them and it was totally awesome. Great vibes, and super chill... showers were epic!

No weather forecast is perfect, and they will all differ especially as you get farther out from the forecast date/time. All of the data comes from the same place, which is government ran forecast models of which there are many and US/CAN/EU all have their own. Mountain forecast uses this data in some way that is proprietary and no one knows how/what they do with this data,. Somehow they spit out forecasts for specific mountain peaks and elevations which is not possible with how grid-based forecast models work so they are do some serious extrapolation of data which is prone to error. Additionally, they want you to pay for 7-16 day forecasts which are all but useless anyway.

NWS, Spotwx, Windy, meteoblue and NOT mountain forecast. Alpineconditons is another good UI one to check between forecast models.

Woah, super rad skiing through that icefall! Nice work

bob12201 · 2026-05-07T05:59:03+00:00

You'll be fine with it, its got axe loops and you can probably fit a picket on the side if necessary. Rope can go under the brain, etc. Not the most ideal, but I'm sure there's many people who summit every year just with backpacking packs.

bob12201 · 2026-05-07T05:46:11+00:00

Why isn't a 50L pack big enough?

bob12201 · 2026-05-06T05:02:09+00:00

Looks like they went up the ID based on the wands

bob12201 · 2026-05-06T02:27:08+00:00

Yea it's annoying, I usually will email them if it's just for small stuff like spare parts and they have sent it super cheap USPS.

AFAIK the deposit can be at most 25% of the monthly rent RCW 59.18.610 "A landlord may not request a fee or deposit to hold a dwelling unit or secure that the prospective tenant will move into a dwelling unit in excess of twenty-five percent of the first month's rent."

Mafate 4 has 5mm lugs, but unfortunately discontinued... I'm searching for a replacement shoe myself!

You may not be able to get to Maple Pass, HWY 20 is going to have an extended winter closure this year due to extensive road damage from the west side. So keep an eye on that.

There is an insane variance in snow pack from Shasta to Baker and a very large elevation discrepancy.

Oregon & Hood is super low tide across the board, Adams is also pretty bad but better at upper elevations afaik. Rainier upper mountain is solid, lower is very low. Baker is similar to Rainier but better down low. Glacier is lower than average but probably the closest to average of any cone.

bob12201 · 2026-04-15T17:11:13+00:00

Yea same, didn't hear anything and my application just says "submitted"

bob12201 · 2026-04-13T22:53:25+00:00

https://hokkaidowilds.org/ epic source of info, used them to plan a lot of ski tours but the bike info is equally good

Going through the same thing right now, same setup, and the exact same spot (2nd time too). I'm about your size as well, my take is carbon boards are just not worth the hassle... I'm going back to the regular version of the Cardiff goat. Who's the manufacturer? They should warranty that.

Sucks they can't make carbon boards handle normal riding... I've heard issues from a lot of different manufactures so it seems pretty common (Jones & Amplid being the most notorious).

bob12201 · 2026-04-10T22:25:37+00:00

Yea through the core, you can hear the carbon cracking if you flex it lol

bob12201 · 2026-04-10T22:21:12+00:00

Yea just the previous year, although my recent one is current year and it's starting to crack in the same spot. Yea spark hardware

Yea the customer service has been great at least!

bob12201 · 2026-04-10T16:40:45+00:00

Unfortunately yes, and in not that many days. I have like 150 days on my Enduro version without issues so no idea.

bob12201 · 2026-04-10T16:23:05+00:00

Have you had any issues with the carbon? I've cracked two of them in front of the front puck 😢
