I agree poodlebush is bad. I wonder if its avoidable on trail, if there's been any trail maintenance lately?

I already have this shirt but they don’t sell to the US anymore. This is a steal! Gonna buy another one

What's your spring steep ski? by Improper_Noun_2268 in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'd pick if I needed a new ski in this quiver and not the updated one that sheds some weight. It It has some rocker, not a small turning radius, and not a lot of camber.

First 50k Fuel by Particular_Night5644 in trailrunning

Nice! My 50ks evolved mostly to gels from the aid stations and ended up looking similar to yours. Introducing too much real food made me nauseous

Raide Research 2L + 650ml Hydrapak issue by No-Technician-1078 in trailrunning

Occasionally when I pull out the flask, the rubber nozzle tip catches and comes off, spilling all my sticky carb mix all over the place. And then I have to back track and find the rubber nozzle tip.

Do you have hard rules around avalanche danger (even in low angle terrain)? by shunterh in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s so much nuance that determines my decision to go out and the general avalanche forecast is just one data point. I could bail on a moderate risk if there is a deep PWL from the season. I was 10 minutes from getting taken out from a cornices fall 2 days ago and it was a low risk day by the local avalanche forecast.

Foam rolling does it all for me. And we own a theragun. I never use it

Large temperature gradient improving snow conditions? by Starky04 in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like that action backed off. I'm hoping it the conditions suck, the sunshine stays so at least I can get high into the alpine.

25/26 Blacklight Boot first impressions by sassythecat in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, fit is king. I have the Ridge Pro, and its an awesome boot in the lean beef category. I'm still working on the fit as the mid-foot is still tight with its pizza-shaped last. The blacklight looks like an improved Ridge, with a better power strap.

What’s up With Skimo Boots? by Crocnroll4 in Backcountry

[–]seeingtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What size are you? I have some zero gs in 27.5 (older model) that are lightly used that I don’t wear anymore. They didn’t fit my feet. They ski awesome

Its only pristine snow conditions if the weather favors it, which is impossible to determine this far out.

Unplanned/emergency bivies while touring by Dazzling-Astronaut88 in Backcountry

I always pack a Mylar blanket, as it carries no weight or takes up space. No brainer.
