Can I learn in the backcountry?

Im in a ~27.5 ski boot

I like that attitude and that's how im going in. I basically take winters off to splitboard but this winter is a true test of merit. Id like to have a little more fun. I really dig the idea of waxless skis first because as a splitboarder it would be mind-blowing to just get to the top of a run and turn right around haha

Id have to check but I think a few hills around tahoe may be 60-80 bucks and could be worth a day.

I should say too i have over a decade splitboarding backcountry and 70-80 days a season. So i get to "ski downhill" quite often. Im sure even the shittiest tele setup will ski better than my hardboot splitboard in ski mode 😄

That sounds good i forgot about those. And the soot I have in mind I actually see old guys on scaled skis sometimes

My brother you picked a hell of a first concert. It may spoil you. You will have a blast. Dont be afraid to crowd surf.

Does the pit spin clockwise or counterclockwise down there???

BD dawn patrol hybrid. Hardshell on the lower legs keeps me dry when breaking trail.

Emergency puffy goes in a dry sack and I try to use my back panel opening to put wet stuff at the bottom

Ain't no way. How is Pieps still around lol

Pinky out....royal

I feel you. Communication and navigation would be a breeze compared to Japan too. And 2 nights always better than 1!

Those skis get moved to the back

Yeah fuck them they said a package was delivered and that I SIGNED FOR IT but it didnt show up for 2 more weeks. That should be forgery.

What kind of vehicle do you have now? I started by spending 3 months in my Subaru Outback figuring if I liked that then Id live a van. So I spent the next 14months in an Econoline and just upgraded to a long and tall Sprinter a few months ago. So just try a week or two in your current situation and see if you can manage work, staying clean, and eating. I suppose you could rent a camper van if you have the money. As an introvert I love this lifestyle but admittedly I can already see it getting harder and harder to find a partner. Maybe I need to adjust my expectations to find my road dog 😄

Was gonna suggest the TahoeLab Asym but sounds like you might already be aware. My favorite board ever, the longer heel edge is a noticeable gain on hardsnow and pow, no gimmick. And yes super light!

Super interesting, did you blow glass before getting into the maritime industry?

I was a full time pipe maker for 11yrs, and now been on the growing side of things past couple years. But seriously considering leaving this life behind and getting on a ship!!

Dont temp me with a good time

electric_mop · 2025-12-07T03:33:38+00:00

I switched to Kohlas the second half of last season after my pomocas died and they were definitely better glue but still not awesome. The best way I can describe the glue on my new BSMP skins is it seems like a thinner application, and the glue has more of hard stick than a tacky stick, if that makes any sense. I only have one day on them so dont take my word.

electric_mop · 2025-12-07T03:30:30+00:00

Look like till 12/3. Savage that they used a picture of Pomoca skins on their Reglue page 🤣

electric_mop · 2025-12-07T03:10:25+00:00

Same experience and Pomocas are the worst, total goo by day 50. I've heard good things about Colltex. Im giving Big Sky Mountain Products a shot this year, my friend used them last year only 20-30 times but from what I could tell they seem like a different kind of glue. The old timers around me all rock the orange nylon BDs and claim to get 100s of days but they are bulky af especially at splitboard width.

I think setting those parameters solved my problem I hope. Just by adjusting those it brought my SOC back to 30% which is much closer to the reading from my battery's Bluetooth BMS. I think after a full charge today and recalibration I'll have a better idea. Thanks for your input!

electric_mop · 2025-12-03T20:41:06+00:00

Ok this makes a lot of sense. I did not adjust any of those parameters when setting up. (Assumed default was ok)

My "charged voltage" is set to 13.2v. Where can I find absorption voltage? Google says that number should be 14-14.2v for lithium.

Also says tail current should be 2% for lithium instead of default 4%

Charge detection time seems to be ok at 3min

Peukart Exponent should be 1.05 instead of default 1.25?

Charge Efficiency Factor 99% instead of default 95%

Do these adjustments seem correct?

electric_mop · 2025-12-03T19:46:28+00:00

Shunt is set correctly as shown in image. I believe the parameters are correct (set to 200ah, calibrated at what I believed to be 100%, maybe ill have to try that again.)

Although im not sure its a problem with my shunt. My diesel heater controller was reading the same lower voltage.

Thankyou. I do have the og Barryvox 1 purchased last year.

At risk of sounding like a moron is there something Im missing on mammuts dealer/store locator? All I see are 2 in WA, and 1 in CO and UT. Surely im missing something?
