wowzer! very cool...what a contrast to the Basin
Sweet video. Do you think you need to skin up to get the best pow? Any issues with avalanaches or did you go with a guide that knows the area?
Thanks! We definitely found the best snow by skinning. The snow in-bounds was also splendid, but the classic Japow knee-deep, overhead waves of powder experience was all in the backcountry. We are comfortable planning and touring on our own, but if you would feel safer and have more fun with a guide I highly recommend using one to access the goods!
How was touring with the bananas?
@@walterwilliams2473 honestly, quite splendid. The full rocker design is rather flat, not super curvy, so they grip on a skintrack almost as well as my other setups. I use the pink pomocas and the lightweight and high glide help them tour quite well. Not surprisingly, they will suffer on hard snow sidehilling, but that's not the kind of condition you get the Bananas for! They were perfect for a one-ski Japan trip and have been unendingly fun chasing storms of any size in Nevada.
What time of year did you go? Guides?
This trip took place over the first two weeks of February. We are comfortable planning our own backcountry tours and didn't hire guides, but I could imagine they would provide a wonderful service!
