The edges should come go to go from the factory how did your bacon session at Abasin go?

No the Joystick sauce ski pole is not adjustable. All adjustable ski poles can be found here

Icelantic skis are short and fat so they should be great for skinning since short skis are great for switchbacks and wide skis are good for floating powder.

sounds like the 167 is your size the rocker makes the ski feel shorter so take that into consideration when comparing sizing with non rocker skis.

The prodigy is a new goggle designed to be used with helmets you should be good. If in doubt get a smith helmet their helmets for sure work with smith goggles.

I am 6' tall and 170 I use a small/medium black diamond avalung covert backpack.

Totally normal noise your avalung is working properly.

The Hestra Cloud Nine Glove might be slightly warmer than the Backcountry.com Stoic glove because the Hestra Glove uses synthetic insulation and the Backcountry.com glove uses wool. I own the Backcountry.com Stoic glove and have to admit on cold days my hands are not warm but hiking or anytime the temp is above 25 degrees the gloves rock.

you buy skins based on the width of your skis not really the length as the skins are cut to fit the length of the ski by you. You can either measure the tip of your ski and buy skins that wide or measure the middle of the ski and buy that width. If you buy skins based on the middle width you won't have full coverage and may slip in icy conditions. I always buy skins based on my tip width.

Looks like you will just have to bend some 110mm brakes to fit your 115mm skis.

I like the P18

great comments about garmont radium on Lou Dawson's bloghttp://www.wildsnow.com/1734/chris-davenport-dynafit-ft12/#comments

Yes, it goes by the narrowest part, which is the waist, so buy for that size and cut down.If you buy skins for the narrowest part of your skis you will have exposed base which sucks. The preferred method is buy skins for the width of your tip or in the Case of Volkl Mnatra 133m. 140mm skins would give you full coverage 120mm would leave about 6.5mm of base showing on each side of the ski at the wides part of the tip. If the side cut is aggressive you many not have much base exposed with 120mm.

Erik, the metal tip on the Dynastar Legend is no problem with the skin tip loop. You should buy skins that are 120mm wide this will give you full coverage once you trim the skins.

The design of the deploy is amazing you get the benefits of a one piece but the compactness of a two piece. The deploy will assembly quicker than any two piece.

You can ski the rossignol s7 ski in a longer length than a traditional ski because there is not as much effective edge as your 168 Seth Pistols due to the rocker tip. Binding mounting point is personal preference I would start with the markings Rossignol puts on the S7.

I bought a medium and am 6' tall and 165 pounds. Picture posted above.

Nope these do not have the toe and heel piece to work with Dynafit boots.Here are some optionsI have this boot it rocks super light and very stiffhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/DNF0009/Dynafit-ZZero-4-PX-TF-Alpine-Touring-Boot.htmlScarpa Optionhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/SCR0100/Scarpa-Skookum-Alpine-Touring-Boots.htmlhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/SCR0090/Scarpa-Spirit-4-Alpine-Touring-Boot.htmlGarmont OptionsThis is Garmont's newest stiffest Dynafit boot I have not skied but friends have and gave it thumbs up.http://www.backcountry.com/store/GAR0179/Garmont-Axon-Alpine-Touring-Boot.htmlClassic Garmnont Dynafit Optionhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/GAR0220/Garmont-Mega-Ride-Alpine-Touring-Boot-Mens.htmlBlack Diamond These boots are stiff and sweet highly recommended.http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0359/Black-Diamond-Method-Alpine-Touring-Boot-Mens.html

The bottom does have a cinch. If you are wearing bibs a pow wipe out should be no problem. If you have pants and take a header in the pow your going to get snow down you pants. This is a super aerobic jacket if you need something exclusively for the resort I would look elsewhere.

Nope you can get a fleece under this jacket without up sizing.

The North Face VE 25 is a tried & true expedition tent that can be used throughout the year. The only drawback using it as a summer tent is it's weight where a much lighter tent would work just as good. As far as ventilation is concerned, a three season tent has it beat hands down. Four Season tents should be called one season tents. Four Season tents are only good in the winter the rest of the year they lack ventilation making them sweat lodges.

If you want to layer you will need a large but the arms might be a bit long. I wear the medium and it is a tight fit I am 6'0 at 165 pounds.

I think the large would fit you best. I am 6'1" and 185 and the large fits me perfectly with still room to layer my fleeceDustin is wearing a medium and is 6'0 and 165 pounds. I just got the production version in medium and am happy with the fit. I wear a 40 long sport jacket for reference.

That color is not the Carbon available for purchase. The Carbon is more of a grey, than black.Correct the prototype was straight black which we did not make for production. I believe we have a red version coming but no black.

Sounds like there to big for you, your heels sould never move around like that and the problem will get worse as your liners pack out. you could take them to a boot fitter and see what he could do with some custom soles, otherwise can you exchange them for a smaller size?If you don't have a custom footbed you really can't say if the boot fits or not. A footbed really should take up the space and lock your heel in place. My bro got these footbeds and said they worked well in his alpine boots.http://www.rei.com/product/721632If you have the money I would go to Surefoot or a boot fitter that knows how to make custom footbeds. Footbeds can move from boot to boot so if these boots still don't work the footbed will transfer to the new boot.

That'll be pushing it, but you should be fine.If you are just in town waiting for the bus and what not you should be fine between 15 and 20 degrees but if you are going to be outside for and extended period you would need base layers, hats, and gloves to make this jacket work in those conditions.

Yes it will as long as you use the alpine sole. Yep you don't need to use the alpine sole with the Duke either will work.__________________Any AT or Alpine sole will work.

Just saw the prime angello and it had long arms but a short torso.

Yes it will because the sole blocks are interchangeable. Plus the Fritschi Binding will work with Alpine or AT soles so no need to change anything if you have the Fritschi binding.

Nordica Supercharger Blower was last years version of the Blower with dimensions 139/110/129. This years is called just the Blower with the same dimensions 139 / 110 / 129mm.Just got this from Nordica.All 185cm Blowers have the mounting mark in the wrong spot.Here is what Noridica said exactly"A large percentage of the NORDICA BLOWER skis size 185 were incorrectly marked for the mounting position. The incorrectly marked skis were marked at 73.6cm.The correct measurement is 80.1cm measured from the tail of the ski."This qualifies as a recall in my book but I guess not for Nordica.

No.Cleats are included with your pedals.He might be referencing toe cleats which are not part of the a road shoe the answer is still no.

Way better than elastic it has an adjustable drawstring.

This is a fleece jacket that blocks wind. The Pamir does not offer a ton of insulation you might be better off with a down jacket like the nuptse.

Sorry bro, tramdock.com pricing is only for the select few that happen to at the right place at the right time.

nope this charger is for the icon headlamp

if these come with the levers like it say in the product title then yes the hoses, tubes, aka housing comes with it. Just noticed the description says this is only the caliper so not levers, or hoses.

the only one they have in stock is for the Factor so right now no this won't fit the 01. I would guess they will get more in stock.Smith has some on their sitehttp://www.smithoptics.com/Slider-01_18_443.html

Nope the Fischer Rebound does not come with bindings. I don't think Backcountry will mount skis without the boots.

only need adapters if you don't have disc brake mounts on the frame of your bike. You also need a disc brake compatible hub, disc rotor and disc levers.

just buy a cycling skorthttp://www.backcountryoutlet.com/outlet/SHE0019/SheBeest-SB-Cycloskort-w-chamois-Womens.html?CSP_ID=FTS_bcs_SHE0019

This is not an insulated jacket. The Apex Bionic is a soft-shell jacket that blocks wind and repels moisture. I would use the jacket in the city down to 40 degrees.

Yes but the opening is tight. There is plenty of room in the pockets but the opening needs to be larger IMO.

totally fitted cut very similar to Arcteryx Small

only one option is 59.97 it is a size 8 moonlight/moab

yes but the alpine binding won't release normal. The rubber sole prevents the Alpine din from being accurate so you have to do a bit of trial and error to find the right din setting. I would not recommend skiing alpine bindings with AT boots but it can be done.

When you are skinning or pushing with your poles on hard snow a circular basket does not grip well. The semi-circular basket grips incredibly well on hard snow. These baskets have prevent me from sliding for life more than once.
