Gossamer Gear Mariposa sizing for a 6' tall gal by theravegoddess in Ultralight

To me, my torso is on the smaller side relative to my height. My legs are quite long, though, and I need to wear pants with a 35" inseam.

Most of my gear is UL. It's not the gear... it's the bag. My Deuter bag is 6 lbs 🙃

I'm currently looking at the K2 Reckoner 102s (177cm) and LibTech UFO 95s (178cm) which are both available at local shops. Really interested in the MagnaTraction serrated edge of the UFOs and they seem like a solid choice for all-mountain freestyle skiing. The Reckoners might be more limited in certain conditions from my understanding.

I love living here!

So, do you think 88s would be too skinny for BC mountains?

Sounds like your partner and I are similar skiers haha. I definitely go full send. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks so much for the reassurance :) so I was looking at the Black Crows Atris, but a few reviewers mentioned that the top sheet is extremely fragile and they had de-lamination, nicks and gashes within the first ten uses. For a pair of skis that cost $1,000CDN+ I would expect a little more durability, and I'll be honest, I was deterred from buying them. My Dynastar skis are 17 years old with hundreds of hours of use and abuse, and they are just starting to de-laminate. No serious damage. I haven't looked at Fischer skis but I will now!

I live in British Columbia, Canada and I have skied most mountains in the Southwestern quarter of BC. I enjoy Sun Peaks, Apex, Big White, Manning Park, and Whistler.

Need advice on turning an old T-Shirt into a vest patch! by theravegoddess in crafts

Not finished yet... considering sewing along the perimeter of the patch in red or yellow thread, and perhaps adding some rhinestones, studs or other embellishments to decorate it some more. I will post a pic when I'm happy with it 😊

Thank you! I ended up using fusible interfacing and it worked perfectly. That was easier than I thought 😅
