Jess, I already ordered up the snowmobile wheel kit for you, that’s what Dave said you wanted. Sorry about that, I guess you’ll have to ask for the pack next year. :)

Hmm, guess what I want for Christmas… The hut trip application is a great idea. I’m always trying to figure out how to stuff my day pack in the bigger pack.

A quick follow up to my review above. Worked at my desk with the Broomstick on for about 30 minutes yesterday, not too bad (with shovel and probe, no skis though:) definitely will ride up a chairlift better than a pack based on these early tests.

@Carver — seems you are looking for a standard issue powder ski that can still make some turns on the hard pack. I personally use a Volkl Mantra in a 184 length. I could easily ski the 177 as well. As for reviews on the skis your mentioned, might be best to pick up the buyers guide of SKI and look at the 85-95mm waist skis. And look at a binding similar to the Marker Duke if you are mainly inbounds and NOT skinning back up anything.

Your thoughts Lou?
