[...] Yurbuds – These little ear buds are amazing! They have completely changed my running. They come in different sizes so you get a custom fit that’s way more comfortable than one-size-fits-all buds, and they lock into place so you don’t have to adjust them while running.

Comment on Overnight Getaway: Backpacking The Lower Yuba Trail by forum33

Awesome pictures. Always a fun area to go backpacking! There’s been plenty of mountain lion activity in that area in the past, however, so being armed just in case would be a good plan for future trips (solo trips especially). As for a holster option that works well for backpacking, check out the Safepacker holster: http://www.thewilderness.com/?p=catalog&parent=171&pg=1

It looks pretty inconspicuous, and it can be looped around the waist strap of your backpack. I have an Osprey backpack as well and this holster has worked great. Comfortable and quick, easy access.

KWilliam,
The BD Carbon Megawatt is a pure powder ski, so go with that if you still plan on using your Mantras. The Huascaran will work better in varied terrain, so that would be your best bet if you were looking for something that handled a little more than powder (not all bc is powder). You can use the Huascaran almost every day. OR, you can go with the Volkl Katana 191, it’s pretty much the big brother, powdery version of the Mantra.

Have you tried the BD Carbon Megawatt? I’m on the fence between that and the Dynafit Huascaran.

Any thoughts on which ski to get?

Looking for my 1st powder/backcountry ski. I currently use the Volkl Mantra 191. Advanced skier not expert but learning all the time and venturing out into powder and back country more and more.

Thanks!

Comment on ABS 101 – The Avalanche Airbag Backpack System by What's In Our Quiver: Shred The Gnar With Sage Cattabriga-Alosa | Tahoe Mountain Sports Blog

[...] Sage: “Airbag packs are the way of the future, but they should not play into your backcountry decision making process. I have not been in a situation that I have deployed my air bag, and hope to not have to, but wear it for that “just in case” situation. I have, however, been on-deck while watching a partner pull his. A small pocket slab released while he was skiing a steep feature in Alaska. He started out trying to outrun it – this path lead to a cliff and he was unable to ski away from the landing. The snow rapidly caught up with him, and soon he was hit with a blast of moving snow. I remained alert, focused on keeping him in sight as snow pushed him towards a bergshrund below. I could see that his airbag was inflated and relieved as [I] could see the airbag holding him up, and allowing him to be pushed up and out of the small crevasse rather than being pushed in by the wave of snow.” Click here to learn more about ABS avalanche airbag backpacks.
