I'm late to the party but what Cody said about the Tech Bindings is fantastic. I've had two gnarly wipeouts on my pin bindings in-bounds because I skied them way too hard in bounds and on groomers.

Cody and Blister together at the same time! This is where it's at... and more binding knowledge than I've ever considered - haha. Thanks dudes.

Bialetti Moka Pot! No paper flavour. No plastic. Just pure goodness.

Anyone traveling in the backcountry should get a copy of Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain by Bruce Tremper and study it. Loads of incredible information about terrain management skills and all things snow safety

Great podcast! Thanks for putting the shaggy's in the background. Midwest!

I think a statement "there is no DIN setting at the toe" is outdated. Fritschi Tecton 12 bindings have DIN for lateral impact

Bialetti 06969 Venus Stainless Espresso Maker, 6 Cup AND a Bodum Schiuma Milk Frother.... period. Every Italian home has one.

Awesome guys! nerding out over various stuff is very enjoyable! also, we pronounce moccamaster, mokkamaster.

I ski mine ultra-conservatively for this very reason.

2:28 how bout that foreshadowing?!!! great stuff. although it's kinda mean to tease us with stuff you're not gonna talk about😉 thanks for the cody fix- legendary as always!

Aeropress is a solid low cost coffee maker, and its light/small enough to bring camping.

Regarding the Tracker3 switch moving during avalanches: Just got it and it has a sliding lock to prevent switch movement. Was this feature on the failures noted in the interview or are/were you unaware of a change?

Cody, can you please please do a video on proper settings for the shift. I am one of those that has been having issues popping out, despite getting it done by pros in CO. Thanks.

Jeez someone needs to do a video on it. I’m a ski tech myself and I’ve been around to a dozen shops getting opinions on proper set up/ toe height/fwd pressure. There’s a million different opinions but one major consistency... trial and error. Ski it a couple times and adjust it afterwards. But no clear directions.

Late to the party here: Snowpeak Ti pourover for "that fancy cup" Bodum french press for daily driving. No worries, no fuss.

Mocca Master, Shift, Terrain Management. Roger that.

which on3ps are soft? from what I had read about them they are made out to be burly stiff and completely bomb proof skis

I work in a ski shop in Canada and we have had 5+ pair of shift bindings tearing from that gasket 5th screw Cody talked about!!! Anything about this???

Get a stove top mocha pot. Super strong, plus you can make Cuban coffee which is super good. Plus it’s super portable

Ah! Cody is right! The slide lock works in tracking mode but does not engage in Search mode. Yes, a design flaw. It would definitely be a better design if the slide lock engaged in every position. Hopefully, BCA listens to you guys....

Alternative to the Technivorm is the OXO 8-Cup--not as expensive, easier to use.

The interviewer was gettin a good buzz on towards the end there

What about the Duke PT 16... A revolution in bindings?

What about them is a revolution? The shift was a binding revolution one uping the kingpin binding. If anything, the Duke PT went steps in the wrong direction in comparison to the shift. Yes, they might be catering to the big heavy free ride guys a little more than the shift, but the amount of people I can think of that need an extra 3 clicks of DIN are either gonna be on CAST system bindings, or riding lines that are accessed with a sled. In my opinion, the duke is just their answer to get marker team riders off the kingpin binding. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 16+ din shift binding next season as they already released their low din shift this season which already seams to be a hit amongst the lighter riders.

@@austenpearson Why would Marker want to get their team riders off of Kingpins? I've gone through a number of Kingpin toe and heel pieces over years of riding them hard, and one fairly bad pre-release skiing fast on a firm groomer, but overall I've found them to be a complete revelation in binding design. And now that I understand their limitations (in firm conditions) I've had no issues. Cliffs, high speeds, and even landing switch on park jumps has not been a problem

Hey Blister have you seen Jeff Campbell's NWAC presentation on Alpine Touring Equipment: Retention and Release in the Backcountry? kzread.info/dash/bejne/io5ru5d-qqbPdco.html

thanks , i apreciate

I get his whole thing about elasticity but the warden is tied for lowest elasticity along with the attack lineup and the marker royale family. So whats the point hes getting at. All alpine bindings have elasticity and he only positively mention two amer bindings. Is he just talking about alpine vs tech bindings.

SHIFT science is very attractive anyone using them in-bounds? Cody never compares SHIFT safety to pin/tech bindings in general but I have always known tech bindings are more dangerous but in 8 years of 95% backcountry I have only had a hand full of odd releases and no injury. If alpine touring binding retention and release interests you watch this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/io5ru5d-qqbPdco.html

I mean he kind of does compare shift safety to tech bindings in general here. He actually goes pretty in depth about all of it, did you listen to the whole thing?

Moccamaster is dutch rather than danish.

Cute watching you guys 1/2 cut, it didn't help in your delivery.
