But you’re interested in some pretty available sizes. 24.5 is one of the two sizes of Shiva left. They also have the size 29 Method. (I, for instance, could order either of those right now. They’re not listed on my site, but click the link and call the phone number if you want a price quote.)

Interestingly enough, a north central Idaho plan’s comment period ended recently and the resulting report had a prefaced comment on form letters stating, in effect, that the form letters wouldn’t be given the same consideration as individual letters…I personally love the remote area for machine access to backcountry skiing (I shut the machine off and skin once I’m there), but it’s access is threatened by a possible non-motorized proposal, this would make the area almost inaccessible with a long slog before getting the the usable terrain. The majority of letters written in support of keeping the area open were written by people with neither the time or education to comment on, and research, the large and complicated plan…The area is already remote and not affected by large metropolitan areas and the non-motorized proposal would, in effect, make the area almost nonusable by many…
