    Issue With Volkl RTM 84's, Anyone Else?

    I'm gonna have to keep an eye on mine. Not sure if the issue is only with the RTM 84s but I just picked up previous season RTM 80s (appears to be same graphics as urs) cheap and only have about 15 days on them. I'm pretty much the same size as you cornhead 5'11, 250 and I haven't seen any cracks...

    According to there website 36'' since Tuesday, but I would say about a foot of ski-able powder Surprisingly when I left (@ 1:30) there was still plenty of spots of un-tracked areas with fresh pow

    Questions re: shells vs. insulated jackets

    patagonia insulated powder bowl jacket I picked one up for this season, I'm amazed how lightweight and none bulky it is (at least compared to my previous) it feels like it will be sufficient to keep me warm in super cold conditions, has gore-tex linear as well I honestly thought they sent me...

    Goggle's for a sweaty SOB

    Do you own a Pret (which model)? I have found a bunch of reviews with the Arnett Skylight, Smith IO , and zeal level all being a good fit. I know everyone s face is different but just curious. Pret is somewhat new so theirs not exactly a ton of goggle fit info

    Goggle's for a sweaty SOB

    Not 100% sold on Pret, I like the ventilation system, weight, that custom fit knob thing and the magnetic strap. evo has them on sale now, the Effect is $87 and Cynic is $51, pretty good price for what you get. I also like the way it looks... My only experience with a helmet is my Giro mountain...

    Goggle's for a sweaty SOB

    Well, I may have done things out of order.....after looking into the Dragon's I decided on the X2s, Jamie Lynn version with blue steel lens+yellow blue ion. $150 on eBay and will be here monday. My local ski shop has a limited selection of helmets and the helmet that I want (Pret) isn't really...
