CAMP USA Quartz Climbing Harness

November 4, 2009

Children MUST use a full body harness like the Petzl Simba because of the risk of the child turning over and falling out of a waist-only harness. The minimum age a child could use a waist-only harness is probably about age 6 or 7.

(Children are naturally top heavy since their heads develop faster than their bodies. Coupled with the lack of hips on small kids, this is a recipe to turn over and fall out with a waist-only harness.)

Dynastar Legend Pro XXL Alpine Ski 08/09

Dynastar Legend Pro XXL Alpine Ski 08/09

Rating for this product: 5 April 13, 2009

I'm 5'9'' and 175lbs and got a screamin' deal on some XXL 194's. First thing, if you are my size and weight then you have to be on your game at all times and aggressive. If you are, the ski will reward you with a great ride that kills everything on the mountain and is freight train stable at speed. If not, they can hurt you. The faint of heart need not apply.

First time I took them out in 15" of fresh I had them mounted on the line and was disappointed that I was getting tip dive and the skis weren't performing as well as I would have wanted for such a fat ski. They killed the crud and groomers, but left me wanting in fresh.

Second time I took them out in 13" pow and moved the bindings back 1.5cm (rail mounted bindings) and it made a HUGE difference. Now they were a bit less solid on the hardpack but floated incredibly in the pow and were amazingly nimble for such a big ski. I could not get the skis to dive even when loading up the tips and I skied faster than I ever have before through the trees. Once you get them up to speed they are surprisingly nimble in the pow even though they aren't rockered and are relatively stiff. At slow speeds they feel sluggish and take some big legs to work them. At speed they come alive. Who wants to go slow anyway?

Anyway fun skis that are rock solid and kill everything on the mountain. Big and heavy, but that helps them not get thrown around in the crud. Not that fun in the bumps. It was possible to do it, but I'll be honest that it sucked because it was so much work. Awesome in pow once I moved the bindings back a bit. I'm happy.
