As far as I know Dynafit brakes only go up to 90mmQuote:Originally posted by Fattwins:
id go with breaks for sure
All new tech I'd give at least a year -
And I'm going to get some Scarpa Spirit 3s, Dynafit Comforts and some 180 Fischer Porohetes
No breaks and I'm not going with safety straps
Right after I win the lottery that is

The marker will fill a niche wih that 16 DIN
But that heal riser looks like crap up against everything else on the binding
You'd think they could engineer something a bit better
Even worse seeing as anybody using a binding that beefy will also be sporting a stiff boot That's killer on the uphill
-
You serious
Looks like a piece of trash to me
First off you have to step out to change from downhill to tour
Second the heal riser can't be raised with a pole
Third the weight
Fourth did I mention that heal riser?
I'd give it a couple years to work out the bugs
FR for me
Actually **** that
Dynafit is the way
It's not Markers first try with an AT binding

Nice
Next time I want to see him ride it switch into the road

Nice dudeQuote:Originally posted by Fattwins:

I didn't know FT was a guide
What does everybody else bring (not gear) when they are out there?
Always seems to be "glad FT was there"
I know I've said it before

Broke my foot January 2006
Twisted my ankle January 2007
But I'm back now after 3 weeks of not doing much. To bad my free time is all but used up and I won't have much more until June. Weekends for me now. Although I do have 2 weeks off in March...
Enjoy the free time
I'd never had a free winter before and last year I actually had some fun without the thought "have to go skiing" running through my brain all the time. It sucks sometimes but train really hard and you'll be back soon enough
Drink beer, eat food and visit people you would normally not see in the winter

Nice read and I'm going to be the armchair judge here
WTF guys
Guess it's one of those had to be there kind of things
There are not many people I'd trust in a situation like that but FT is one of them
Did you hitch back to the resort after?
-
Good pictures Slow
I've never seen a line up in Japan
That's crazy

Poutine rules
Had some the other night with real cheese curds which are difficult to get out west. I wasn't drunk though...
Thursday night The Office (American) nights I always go through loads of food. I am on a cookie binge right now. But they have to taste homemade
Also great are Crispers. Chip or cracker?
Salt and Vinegar is the best
In Japan I usually spent some time in the Circle K or Family Mart picking out the greesiest piece of chicken I could find. I also like the Hamburgers but they have to be cold
-
Are you sure you're getting enough water?

They're playing leapfrog

Good shot Kuma
I hate Sock Monkey
He smells and his picture is of a Monkey doing bad things with his tail. Disgusting I say
-
I'm reserving this spot so I can come back and edit if I think anything better than adding to what FT said
Holy shit
Don't rush it
-
I think the angle is off there FT
That is why I don't recognize it as much
-
Good joke
Thought I might have to come over there and bitch slap you though. Even though a snowmobile helped me out on my last trip and saved me some energy on a 3km stretch of boring road
I think if I were still in Japan Hero would hate me because I'd always be nagging you to get out into the hills even though you have responsibilities
-
A sled
Cool dude
Can you drive it into the base of Hakuba Yari though?
I thought that area was parkland
You are definitly skiing some cool line this year
**** it if it's a low snow year down low. Way cooler that the snow has been stable for you
FT clean your inbox
-
You keep saying that
I'd love to but like you said I'm a student
Just remember who showed you all those mountains
Whats your big secret?
I saw some pictures from your big weekend
I don't remember looking too closly at that area
But I do remember the line you drew on a picture a few pages back
-
I thought she was way hot
As for if you should post pictures of ladies in bikinis on here I don't know. It works well on other ski forums. I don't think people can use the I'm at work excuse when they live in Japan.
In North America it is legit
Roo you can redeem yourself by posting STEEP POWDER SKIING pictures
It's a honshu boys club
But all are welcome and I have to say that as I am no longer living in Japan
-
Good pictures Tsondaboy
Amazing feeling when the snow slides away eh
And it picks up speed fast
That is almost on the same aspect as the slide FT and I triggered late last March
Yours is northeast
Ours was east from the top of #2 lift
Do you know how far the slide went?
-
Is that an echo FT?
Good pictures JS
But do you really need to start a different topic for each one?

Better in here than elsewhere
Just get over it people
Niseko is low angle, deep and dry powder
If you are into that then go to Niseko
And yes I have been to Niseko
That is a hot chick
I don't like that you are comparing her to Niseko
Backcountry/poaching/Boarding for beginners.

I just hit Hakuba and it's snowing!!! Yay!!! anyone wanna show me around?
I'd love to see the BC here, but it will have to be in bounds unless I can rent some gear...
As for Nozawa The trees at the top are generally pretty safe
Much too flat for my liking but safe to learn. I wouldn't venture into any other trees at that resort with more experience and the right gear
