and I saw this particular book referenced by Bruce Tremper in one of his books and figured it would also be another great read and another good educational experience.
Thought a one-boot quiver would be fine given my Roxa R3s are advertised as a 50/50, "120 flex" 3 buckle touring boot. However, feet have been feeling like they're swimming on lift laps and super unstable while charging fast and landing off stuff in the resort. Also started developing early stage tendonitis in the hinge of my left ankle up into my shin, which is painful and seems very probably related to the boot issue. So taking the week off to ice ankle, and went all out and got the stiffest 130 flex all mountain boot known to man. Got a super good deal too. Stoked!

I swear if there was an official ski instructor boot that would the one. I mean that in the best way possible.

I feel so sorry for your legs... I love my Kartels but there’s no way in hell I’d ever put a CAST with metal Pivot 15’s on it to tour. Those things are like bricks attached to my feet with Pivot 14’s, I can’t image trying to skin up with them.
with that being said; I’ll blow through just about any crud or variable terrain without problem and they’re hella fun in deeper stuff so it’ll be a blast coming back down.
That makes muchhh more sense haha I was thinking about doing a Kartel backcountry set up until I picked up a ski. They’re absolutely bomber as far as not taking coreshots and busting through crud but at the end of a long powder day, my legs are screaming haha

My current touring setup is Jefferys with metal pivot 15s and daymakers. It won't feel heavy as long as I don't try anything lighter
this popped up locally, with unopened minimist speed
my first moment skis, probably to short for me, realisticly, but tested GF boots + my new boots and both fits, aprox 1cm rear of mark.. but.. meh I need the float

I'm envious of your quiver. Some excellent skis in there

these boots crush ass so hard. Not too much of a fan of the stock powerstrap once it gets worn-out and loses its touch, but its a fixable issue with boosters. I threw a set on my MVs this winter and feels like these things got nitrous in them lol. Also look into replacement soles for these too.

I can't recommend this book enough to people, I describe it as Gladwell's 'blink' but with science instead of anecdotes.
DeebieSkeebiesand I saw this particular book referenced by Bruce Tremper in one of his books and figured it would also be another great read and another good educational experience.
Took five days of watching to catch this in stock:
And new treads for the car, really impressed with these so far:
It describes how people's brains work and why we're super irrational about certain things. If you are interested in behavioral economics or psychology or even statistics it is a must read. There isn't really one thesis, but lots of things I found useful in everyday life, including one concept that Kahneman won a nobel prize for.
OregonDeadnice. I have the same tires. what kind of truck do you have?
Biffbarf+1 for wildpeak gang
r00kieOrdered the same tire yesterday haha.
Oh nice haha, its a squad. I put em on my Mazda. Way better than the stock tires even on pavement, expecting them to be great in the snow and on forest roads in the summer.

It’s pretty awful how I ignored arch support in shoes for so long. One week or two in and it’s a huge difference.
I have them in these shoes which I thought would be great trail running shoes but have turned out to be just great winter shoes overall.
Just copped a hoodie and beanie from the new Arsenic drop. Sadly nearly everything sold out in 20 minutes, but a big shout out to @-Dan for making some dope ass clothes.
CatdickBojanglesGirlfriend won the Melanzana lottery and got to scoop one of these up pretty pumped. Heard nothing but good things about them.
Its getting ridiculous how popular these are. Bought one a few years ago from the store and love it but also know getting another one without over paying on resale probably won't happen.

Yeah they had to shut their stores down and they don’t sell online but they are having a lottery to get a chance to buy one online and my girlfriend got lucky and won.
anders_anow.. cans... taxsstamp, and non existant ammo :p
Ain't that the truth.
I'm doing ok on ammo right now. Got like 5-6k in 5.56 and like 3-4k in 9mm but I don't want to go shooting right now cause it's so hard to find ammo to replace it.

A can and taxstamp will be done this year though.
we are going low on 5.56 and 9 now, cans are not a gun item here, and ammo was on sale until recently
