The CX 50 hybrid drivetrain is exactly the same as the RAV4 hybrid - - Mazda uses Toyota's engine, transmission, etc. I'm surprised it drove much different, but I guess there's different suspension tuning to be done. I've never driven the CX 50.

I have some 190 Salomon Czar with some older Salomon binding (can't remember what one, but it'll be a non MNC type), if that's of interest. I'm in Reno....

That's not a RAV4, but Mrs C has one, and the nearly 5 years she's had it were a factor in selecting that Crown. It's had zero issues and has totally met all expectations.

We looked at CRV when shopping for the RAV4. Though all the car magazine reviews seemed to like them more than the...

A Honda Ridgeline, which I really wanted to be a better vehicle than it was. It was quiet, great AWD, smooth riding, comfortable seats.

The list of downsides was growing ever longer though, and the worst was an engine start up rattle that the dealer couldn't or wouldn't fix (they told me...

Took a little while, but finally arrived. Toyota Crown Signia, XLE trim, brown interior.

It's nice... ...

If you search for a topic or keyword in Tapatalk, it will generate a list of hits, but then the threads do not open when you click on them.

So you can now pronounce Hakkepoloiita properly?...

I picked up some used skis with Dynafit Radical bindings on them, and am adjusting them for Mrs C's boots. Wild Snow has this helpful page on the heel gap adjustment:

But I'm not sure which version of the Radical that I...

Thanks - was hoping they were a little newer. I'll pass, but I appreciate the pics.

Are those the soles that are DIN, not gripwalk, but have a bit of rubber around the edges? If so, I'm interested in those. What condition are they in? Thanks....

What's most important is that you gotta have faith.

It can be hard, post-accident, knowing that you're never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm....

Huh. I kinda want heavy concrete for the first real storm of the season.

It's been slushy paste at my house today, around 5900' on the Reno side of Mt Rose highway, temp around 35 all day. I shoveled it off just so it doesn't freeze into an inch of ice overnight....

Thanks! I'll try to pm - - it's been acting odd for me, so it could take a day until I get onto a desktop PC, where it seems to work better than on Tapatalk....

Mt Rose opening tomorrow, Lakeview chair only, Kit Carson blue run and a green run open.

Guess they're getting enough glop from the recent storms - - should make for some good solid base....

Shank - where are you located? Thanks for the offer!...

I missed these replies earlier - -

Waxman, is there something about the demo track version that you hated? Or even the regular non demo one too? I've used the non demo one for a long time, no complaints about them, but have never skied the demo version....
