General snow stuff

[PeepeelaPew]

I'm buying the Alpride SuperCap33 E2. They're putting one aside for me and sending it to me in Europe in 10 months.

I've heard good things.
I probably would've gone for something a little bigger.

[PeepeelaPew]

My ancient one is around 30L and fits shovel, probe, down, skins, snacks, basic emergency stuff. The canister and mechanism and design are far more clunky in the old one so I'm expecting to get more utility from the new one.

The lack of travel hassle is worth the price of entry.

Customer service has been good. Their English is fine although they asked if I could do French or German so I've been using the latter and they've been responding in a mixture of English and German.

[alakaboo]

Yeah, I use a 24l non-airbag pack and have space but if I was getting a capacitor bag I think I'd want it for hut trips.

I went snowboarding a few weeks ago at Dodge Ridge in California

First time I have ever been to the snow in my life

People who tell you surfers translate to snowboarding well are full of shit - there is nothing, I repeat nothing in common

I wiped out so many times, and my body was sore for a week. One fall I took at high speed as some dumb cnut wiped out in front of me and rather than move just sat in the middle of the run taking in the mountain air as I was bearing down on him. I couldn't turn fast enough and hit the ground so hard it sent up a shower of snow in the process. I asked the stupid American cnut if he was planning on having a picnic and he looked at me with these idiot hu-moon eyes and didn't say anything.

Despite that it was fcuken fun, I'll be back next season!

Those people are called gapers.
They look at you with eyes and mouth agape, unable even to comprehend their own stupidity.

Once you get into powder it translates, but I agree the first few days suck.

Apparently it relates more to skateboarding than surfing.

I find it translates really well, if you have basic motor skills. I did a day or so and was up on the upper mountain. A few years later I had to quickly learn to get a job. I spent two weeks learning and was able to participate and pass a course with a bunch of pros.

my local auction house is offering top brand gear leej. get on it.

[PeepeelaPew]

Hahaha I could sit with petulance in Singapore Airlines first class with that gear.

[Skipper]

lol. i can just see it.
seriously tho', the shit this place proffers is just astounding. dead estates, hard times (i doubt) .. offspring offloading, (probs most likely) ...the mind boggles at the wealth and excess some people 'round here have grifted, accumulated, acquired is just that: mindboggling.

[PeepeelaPew]

The skis look unused, and wouldn't be out of place in some resorts I've visited.

The Pewlette(s) might like the luggage.

I actually like that chair, not that I've got anywhere to put it.

[Skipper]

It's a sick arse auction house, i'd love so much of their stuff, but hey, where would i put it, and really, do i need it?.

Nothing for opening weekend. Nada.

[PeepeelaPew]

Head to Mammoth instead

Can’t justify the cost vs quality of snow in Australia.
