Great ski

Rating for this product: 5 January 28, 2012

I'm 5'6" and 130 riding the 169s. These are awesome skis in every condition from hard moguls to groomers and of course excellent in powder. The tips flop around on groomers but I've never lacked for edge hold and there is no chatter or slop in the ski. I would love to hear if anyone has these mounted up w/ dynafits as I'm considering taking the Barons off and going for a lighter rig. I mounted them +2 and they've been great. I also tried the 179s, thought they were better in bumps, bowls, and on groomers but went with the 169 for trees and control, weight, etc.

Great boot

Scarpa Gea Alpine Touring Boot - Women's

Scarpa Gea Alpine Touring Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 13, 2012

How awesome to have a boot that tours so well, has a great liner, and is actually stiff enough to ski hard in. The Scarpa Gea has a wider toebox than some previous models and a great liner which molds easily. It is definitely a wonderful touring boot and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a high performance backcountry boot. It is not a resort boot, but performs great there too!!

Nearly perfect ski!!!

Rating for this product: 5 March 7, 2011

Amazing ski, performs well in all conditions and very easy to ski. I'm 5'6" 125lbs and have the 169s mounted with barons. Demoed the 179 and loved them too. The only I don't like is the die-cut base.

Hey, I'm 5'6" and 125 I ski nordica w105 in 170 and Volkl Aura 170...I'm torn between the 179 and the 169. I skis trees and open bowls...mostly backcountry but some resort skiing. I cannot decide btwn the 2 sizes. I would like to tour with these also...is the rocker difficult to deal with as far as skins etc?

Not good enough

Black Diamond Fever Mitten - Women's

Black Diamond Fever Mitten - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 December 29, 2010

This is a resort only glove...not good for me and I sent them back. I'm sure they're warm enough but no tether, hard to get on and off, gauntlet it either too large or too small for all my jackets.

Decent pack

The North Face Crestone 75 Backpack - 4300-4450cu in

The North Face Crestone 75 Backpack - 4300-4450cu in

Rating for this product: 3 November 27, 2010

Good backpack...ski straps on the side work well for a modified a-frame, there is too much material in the back padding construction for my taste...however it does let air escape nicely. There is a shovel pocket on the back but its not reinforced, and very small so I don't use it much. Overall it seems nice although a little pricey.

Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon

November 3, 2009

I've had my tracker for 2.5 years now and I've noticed that the search fxn tends to pause flashing "SE" on the screen, sometimes for up to 10 - 15 secs. When it pauses I'm usually not moving unduly fast nor am I flipping the beacon around or moving/holding it strange. This has become very frustrating and sometimes can slow me down considerably during practice if it happens 4 or 5 times as it has. Is this just how the beacon operates? If so I'm selling it and getting the T2 or a Mammut. I mostly ski B/C and don't need to stare at my beacon flashing SE at me when someone actually is buried.

Sick jacket

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Down Jacket - Women's

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 April 26, 2009

Lucked out and got it for $59 on clearance...couldn't pass it up...great jacket, I'm 5'6" 135 and the small fit but a little tight w/ layers, got the Med and its perfect. They must have added length to the torso and sleeves b/c this jkt has the best length I've seen for both. Great hood coverage even with a helmet and reverse zip for belays! Too bad it doesn't come in 800 fill and w/o extra linings to keep it lighter. Still a good buy if you can get it around $100 or less.

Mountain Hardwear Sub Zero SL Hooded Down Jacket - Women's

April 19, 2009

I'm 5'6" 135 and was wondering which size would be best. I plan on using the jacket as a piece of gear rather than just as a town jacket. It seems like the small fits well, I found the sleeves and torso to be longer than any other down jackets I've owned or tried, but the neck is a little small. Has anyone close to my size tried the small or med??
