Good purchase on the Dukes. Welcome to the world of back/sidecountry gear! Next stop: skins, AT boots, crampons, ice ax... Seriously, a whole new world beyond lift served is open to you. Just keep your eyes out for bargains and never pay retail!

skins for sure for next winter

maybe an ice ax and crampons, but AT boots are unlikely at this point. Kryptons will have to do.

yup. marker barons mounted to volkl gotamas. my goal is to convert greg into a pretentious turn earner.
At some point I want to set up a BC bump run with an avy shovel. I want to be a turn earning bump skier, so I can be the most pretentious of them all!

After the critical BC safety gear, assuming I get into it some, AT boots are the next step for me. Probably Dalbello Virus.

Sounds like a lot of work. Could be interesting though...

Er, so I just pulled the trigger on the Dukes too ... I guess we need to schedule a backcountry trip next winter to justify our spending ...

Where did you go? I worked at the Porcupine Grill for a summer way back.

Up in this area through tomorrow. Staying in Bangher tonight :lol:

Targeting the Bar Harbor Inn, Michele's, Havana, Bar Harbor Club, John McKay Public House, Cleonice in Ellsworth amongst several other places. Off to Belfast in the morning, then back up to Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor.

While it is gorgeous up here, I don't know who in the heck would want to drive so damn far to take a look at water that's too damn cold to swim in. Had never been before today. It is quite scenic, but then again, so is the thousands of miles of coastline on the way up here.
