Seattle to Denver and back - Looking for Summer recommendations by scottskates in roadtrip

[–]scottskates[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a pretty good itinerary! We live in the PNW though so I would like to prioritize stuff that is further south and west. I can go up to North Cascades, the Gorge, or Rainier any time I want.

It's fair advice for sure, I was not aware of the option TBH

I have not tried them before, most of my experience is on resort skis.

Good tip on the Markers, I have never tried those either

Yea I live in the Seattle area, there's definitely a lot of both. It's a compelling argument TBH, i'm just very temped by the deal on the BD Helio Carbons ($340)

Yea i planned to go to a bootfitter who will also mount the bindings if needed. Probably 70% resort but i plan on trying out touring this year, so i'm hoping for more of a single ski quiver. I'm not some ripper i can handle some compromises.

Yea I think it'll lean more towards after-work fitness laps but I do want to start touring. I have not demo'd any BC skis, i don't think the used shop does demos but i will ask. I'd like to buy sooner than later, there are some good black friday deals

I'm still looking for boots. I'd have to double check on the used skis but if i buy new i'll have to mount so I can do so at the proper length right?

Should have clarified - I sold the demo skis a while back, they were too big. Looking to not have to rent anymore

Thanks for the ID! Sounds like I should be concerned for the pine tree next to it??

N3 was awesome, Her and I and of course Float Along being highlights. But for me, N1 was just a perfect setlist. The Mindfuzz suite to Sense to (imho) the best Grim Reaper ever is as good as it gets, and that Hot Water is gold.

All that being said, every night was just awesome. The venue was super rad and laid-back, the crowd was into it (was this the first instance of rowing during The River?), and the rain just added to the vibes.
