My pair of 196's Renegades arrived on Monday, 12/5, complete with birth certificate (I kid you not). Super impressed with them from an aesthetic standpoint. All the 10-12 hour days people are putting in are incredibly appreciated.
I ended up with #19 of who knows how many. I currently have them standing against the wall in my bedroom and I think my GF may be getting jealous.
Now for a harder question that I haven't seen a good answer to: with a Sqauwlpine Meadows season pass, is it worth it to go for a slackcountry binding like the dukes or just put up with my trekkers?
