Cool, I thought you might say that...

Now I feel like I paid too much ($60) for my Oakley A frames off of overstock.com.

I picked up the smith fuse regulators the first time around (pre bottomless) for about $30, then of course they had them for less bottomless. Whatever, I wouldn't have purchased if I didn't feel it was a good deal.

In looking at it, I think you should create a seperate section- the other Gear posts will be buried within a week. If you do that, is there a way to maybe lock or delete posts after a set number of days? They are irrelevent after a fairly short time since the product represented is no longer available.

Just my 2 cents.

no you do not need "longer" poles in the BC, you need adjustable poles. you need a longer pole when skinning but regular alpine ski legnth pole for actually skiing. helps for the pole to telescope really short (2-3') for climbing gullies. i will adjust a slight bit longer for steeper terrain, adjust slight bit shorter for bumps and flatter terrain. i almost never use adjustable touring poles when doing lift serviced, fixed legnth are definitely better suited for regular lift serviced.

one problem with posting bottomless sac in the forums is that the links for defunt products stays on the forum. nice idea though, i like it. it is just hard to keep track of when i load up the forums and see six S&C links.

Good info. Thanks. I'll save those adjustables for when I can enjoy the BC.

greg, the S&C posts in the forum are rather annoying. i bring up new posts and half the links are S&C. i do like the idea, but it seems too invasive in its current state. can you have the S&C posts not pull up in the new topics link?
