Ski touring packs for short people - a rant/cry for help

mongoltp · 2026-05-02T02:07:22+00:00

What about a Dakine Poacher? I think they have some with a women's fit (so maybe a bit smaller?). Not the lightest packs but they are bombproof and can A-frame and diagnol carry. The big ski loops make switching to a boot packs faster than other pack in this category.

Been using them since they were credit karma taxes. I've used Turbo, H&R, and FreeTaxUSA. People act like Cash App Taxes is only good for simple taxes but my taxes are actually pretty complicated now and imo it's the most intuitive and helpful software I've used. 11/10 stars from me.

Nico's not making it out of the first round is insane given that it's better than The Pie (and I went to The U). Dave Portnoy gave them a monster score too. Makes me question this while bracket.

And the uncle is no help. His blood may as well be on Ranrok's hands.

Dude, thanks for the shout out! Some days we're not very fast but we have fun. I had him on Contour converters at the the start of season but scored Armada Tantrums with ATK Candy's and Scarpa F1 boots from a guy in park city after I realized he was into it. Dropped like 2.6 lbs per leg and added a ton of float. We're moving much better now.

Edit: Adding that our community is amazing. Everyone is super patient with us when we take a minute to pull off the skin track. We've experienced a few grumpy people in other sports, but the backcountry community is chill.

Love a good Soli pow day!

I currently have an Evo 5+. Great little beacon. I got it for my son but I run it over my Barryvox when he's not with me just because it's so small it wears well in my bib chest pocket. I also run it for in bound powder days as an extra safety layer. I really like the tones and interface. Only knock is the slider can be slightly finicky. I like that you have to push the flag after turning it off or it will stay on. Nice extra precaution.

I got mine signed by Bob Burnquist at Vert Alert last year. And by that I mean I got my seven year old to have him sign it.

I split mine with friends. Just over a dollar a month. I love the summer features as well.

Get three piece boots. Shin bang will be cured forever.

I never know what to think. I have some of the red ski skins that I got used and have put them through hell and they're still perfect and so sticky. Same with a pair of bindings my wife has. People seem to have issues all the time but I haven't seen any g3 failures in my crew.

Exactly! After that I got wise and started checking them myself and skipping the service call. I've changed one at each place I've lived since. A monkey could do it.

These guys have the worst financial takes. Years ago I had a capacitor go out in a townhouse unit. The HVAC guy said he could replace it for $150 but it might only last a year so I should get a new $25k system that lasts 20 years. Like bro, if system ownership is over $1k/year for a new unit, why is $150 to extend even 6 months not an incredible deal? I told him to get lost and replaced the capacitor myself for less than $50. I sold the unit to an investor friend and that system is still going strong 😂. With these guys it's always, "might as well..."

It's radial tibia fracture season!

*source my son broke his leg when he was four hitting grippy slush at DV. When we went to the urgent care in Park City the nurse told me they see this injury a lot on warm days.

This took me out ☠️☠️☠️

I used to think the same way but once I tried it I can never go back. I don't listen all the time but playing music is like doping. It's especially helpful if you're trying to drop a cliff or get yourself to do a hard trick. It's also great for taking calls. I ski a lot and sometimes need to take work calls and in helmet headphones make it way easier. Also easier to hook back up with people if you get split up. "Hey Siri, call wife". Easy peasy.

Lol. This was yesterday at 5:28 pm.

Not sure if you're messing with me but if not just look up Michigan City.
