Looking for a pair of adjustable length poles to use for touring. That being said I have always had an affinity to the poles with the extended foam grips on them that kind of have rings to place your fingers between going down the whole foam section (does that make sense)? Does anyone know what...

Does anyone know of a place in Little Cottonwood Canyon to fill airbag cartridges?
We will be landing in SLC around 4:30pm (which will feel like 5:30 to us), so we want to head up to Snowbird straight away to get dinner and get my kids in bed at a decent time, not driving around SLC hanging...

Cody is trying to tick all the lines in this iconic book: http://www.50classicskidescents.com/

I’ve been thinking a lot about skier compaction in the backcountry, especially at very popular spots like Berthoud Pass, Loveland Pass and Meadow Mtn Bear Minturn.
For instance, in specific areas of Berthoud Pass (Mainline, Powderline/Bonanza...the 20° slopes right off the parking lot at the...

Just picked up my new AT skis with Atomic shift bindings the other day. Trying out my new Atomic Hawx XTD boots in the bindings and getting used to the flippy dippy levers. All in all I am very impressed with the shift binding.
Now to what I am not sure is typical behavoir or a defect. When I...

Winter seems to have come early to Alberta.
After a week of white-knuckle commutes, I was bust some stress with some short powder laps this last Saturday.
Apart from an open creek crossing, we were able to keep skis on from the highway to the top and back again. The snow in the alpine was...

I have been looking for my first pair of AT boots recently. They are not well stocked in most ski shops in the Boston metro-East areas. REI carries them but they won't bring out their ski gear till October. I will miss all the summer/early season sales by then. Kind of need a specialty BC shop...

I am getting my first set of AT skis soon and wonder if I need adjustable poles as well. I have downhill poles and longer cross country poles. Not sure what is desired for AT?
Advice please?
I downhill a lot, and cross country a fair amount as well. I am tall and use a 135cm pole for down hill...

I am pretty much a newbie when it comes to backcountry skiing. OK, I've done avy courses and have skied with guides and have done fairly well, except the time I placed a ski down at the edge of a crater while transitioning out of skins, without having set my pin bindings into ski mode, oh and...
Confirming the rumors that have been circulating, After several years of success in freestyle, Tanner Hall has had some new inspiration from skiing backcountry, finding technical lines to throw some of the stylish airs as only he can do.

Ok I like the idea of this. I'm lazy and am the first person to admit it but I really want to try skinning up a mountain one day. Maybe I'll hate it and never want to do it. Maybe I'll get hooked and will have found my calling for an exercise besides skiing downhill that winds my watch.

The past few years, lift serviced skiing hasn't done much for me. Riding the lift is fine early season when there is not much natural snow on the ground and snowmaking trails are it. Anyone else getting this way?

I love the technical skiing videos posted frequently here -- but they mostly consist of beautiful skiers on groomed terrain making perfect turns. Rarely am I on groomed terrain if other terrain is available: chutes, bowls, trees, etc.
So post up your favorite videos of technically rad skiers...
We have been asked by a few for this forum. Right now there are prefixes set up for different types of discussion. Once the forum grows, we can break them out into their own subforums but in the meantime we will keep them all here. If there is anything glaringly missing, we can add it.
There was mention in another thread to start up a separate patchskiing thread. @Philpug also mentioned writing an article on patchskiing. I hope to start on that soon. For now with it being May I may begin.
Instead of posting a separate TR for every patchskiing day, I'm going to put them in one...
