The TGR Skinny Ski Ski Tourers' Refuge Thread

[~mikey b]

I’ve got no experience with those type of crampons but they look great. Recommendations for what fit Mastrale?

[Jonathan S.]

Has anyone tried the Dynafit Mezzalama crampons? They are similar to the Petzl Irvis Hybrid but they replaced the dyneema cable with steel cable and are lighter.

This prompted me to write up a review of the all-alu version:

And for your amusement, this was their debut outing:

new mikey b post and I was not disappointed

added my homemade leash attachment



and got some barely used Pomoca skins that are cut for these


gonna try these out up on Shasta Friday

[~mikey b]

there’s some 185 Salomon Explore MTN 95 with skins and no bindings for $200 shipped in Gear Swap

if I hadn’t just put this together I’d buy that rig

Petzl Irvis hybrid (cord) have worked great with my M RS’s

[~mikey b]

thank you

I didn’t even know that sorta stuff existed

after watching Nic Schirmer and surfing skimo.com I’m enlightened

[~mikey b]

lazy morning because it’s drippy out but planning to go up out of Bunny Flat later for a maiden voyage

[~mikey b]

[~mikey b]

[buttahflake]

it’s ok

I just gotta get used to em

[Andyski]

Detune THE FUCK out of them. Do the tips/tails as if they were a powder ski. They’re so torsionally stiff. The camber also has a habit of flattening with use which also makes them more manageable.

LOVE my Orbs as a replacement fwiw…

New sticks, first foray into the world of actually light skis. Love them going up, learning to love them going down….

Nice, those are awesome skis! I have the Alp Tracks 89, their successor. Superlative lightweight ski

[kamtron]

Selling some Hagan skis that I didn't get along with, I guess I'm used to my shorty softer Waybacks now:

So sick. Ben is a BEAST!

I hope the silence here lately has been from getting after the remaining snow!
(Remember, ski season never ends, the snow just gets further away...)

Since this thread started off with a Hagan/Hagen reference, I bring you news that Colorado's Mike Hagen has sold the Hagan U.S. distributorship to (wait for it, this is good!) ...
... Colorado's Mike Hogan -- wow, what are the odds!
(Well, actually, 100% that something like this would happen, a la the four-leaf clover paradox, and this, even if the specific occurrence is exceedingly unlikely.)

Meanwhile, for you summer shopping:

https://www.blackdiamondequipment.co...ory=ATK&page=1

• Very good prices on 10+ release value bindings.
• Ya gotta be kiddin' me prices on <10 bindings (although will take you some time figuring out the differences among so many similar ATK models).
• What the heck is going on price for the fanciest of all ATK race binding models.

Nearly free momix skins too:

https://www.blackdiamondequipment.co...limbing-skins/

(And you're welcome, in advance, for my informing you that the width is 133mm, which took me several seconds to figure out, given that's listed at the end of all the other attributes.)

Also nearly free:

Anyone here have experience with the g3 roamr 100s? Not exactly skinny (or light) but I'm curious about them for a midwinter ski and there isnt a lot of info out there online about them

When the snow is always soft and you can ski in shorts I guess there isn't much gear to discuss

RE: the BD sale, Activejunky has 8% cash back... I forgot to use it on my first order but I might go back for more stuff
