I think Arapahoe Basin, CO is still open. If not there is still plenty of snow in the backcountry.

Fo shizzle.. Its just a pity that I moved out of CO. I was at Crested Butte this march. Epic. But we east coasters have some back country snow too! Tuckerman ravine (http://www.tuckerman.org/). While its no Fourteener, cant beat it for spring skiing.

I am not quite glenn plake but why not?

What did you get? I had a pair of Blizzard WC GS skis that I just got rid off. It was a tad too much for me to handle at my weight and East Coast trials.

Maybe Jsharr will heli drop all of us on top of Mt.Washington.

Fischer Race SC's & Railflex FX 12 bindings (http://www.fischer.ru/en/products_ski.php?show=detail&id_product=17143) (pretty stoked).

Actually, I lied. I didn't get the bindings set up on them yet because I need new boots, so I can't go...

My dream is to move back to the Rockies in a couple of years and rip stuff up with one of these:

Booo... Are the rails mounted at least, if so mounting them for your old boot is a breeze. I have a pair of Fisher RX8s that I absolutely love for all day ice coast skiing.

Are they made for really short people?

Isnt it all about weight these days? They are 165s, 19m turn radius if I recall correctly.


Edit:- You know you have a gear problem when you know what the dimensions and sidecut of you skis are. :o

I'll go, if you don't mind a n00b on a snowboard plunging to his demise behind you.
