Okel should have come with since the ice probably got really hammered yesterday and last night. 24+ hrs of well above freezing and lots of heavy rain. It wasn't really that good on Sat. We went to Toronto yesterday and I got another $15 off a previously discounted ice screw and we slipped and slid around on the wet ice all over the sidewalks.
I should have come on Sat, but I didn't know you were going  I did drive by the 403 that night and could see a big hole in the ice. but I also finally saw the 2 gullies you talked about. They were frozen real good

Intensive, active range of motion consistently for the 1st 24 hours is key. That and ice.

Rock and ice routes mostly. ha, I mean grades wiseguy. You never spray (a good thing), so you might send 5.1 for all I know.  He does send 5.1 in approach shoez And 5.2 and 5.3 and.... I think the best I have done is onsight 11b in my approach shoes. Better than me, the best I've done in approach shoes is redpoint a 5.11b that I have completely wired. I lied. I got confused in my aging memory. 10c  I don't know if that is the hardest I have done OS, but it was the one I was thinking of. Some other guy got all spanked on it and was saying how hard it was. So I did it in my approch shoes to.  I flashed a V4 in approch shoes. Not that counts. Toady always gets pissed when we go boulder and I never put on my climbing shoes. And for good reason. You get the foot holds all slimed up with crap from your shoez. And now I will go wash my face from all that spray that just flew out of my computer screen from you.
haha!

Doing something later tonight as well. Maybe ice climbing sunday, but it may be precipitating in the liquid form... durrrrr. I just right this minute saw that on the news. Winter storm watch here Sunday in the form of freezing rain, then rain. +1 on Monday. Oh NOEZ Damn right, oh noes!!! I'm melting, melting away!! It is supposed to get colder through the day. Not going to do me much good when the ice is all gone now. So you are saying it might form up by the end of the week again? I heard -7 later in the week for the high
My ice(yes, i use the possesive there), should be beautiful on friday.

Heels are free to come off of the ski. My set up is an Alpine Touring setup aka Randonee. Similar to the increasingly popular Telemark setups, except that when I am in down hill mode I lock my heels and ski as I would any other time. The skins come off for lengthy downhills. However seeing as they are a pain in the ass to deal with it is wise to keep them either on or off and not much of the on/off/on/off/on/off/on/off thing. For what I did Saturday they stayed on the whole time.
A. to 2nd Q. I don't want snowshoes. I have perfectly good skis. Skis don't sink as much as snowshoes. And if you take the time to hike to a summit, I can ski back while your slow ass has to hike out...

If one is going to GU they must quote and comment to the specific post that they are talking about. That whole string is annoying. 'sides it's not good on the pc+
The baby backpack skiing was wonderful. We had a blast and at one point she even passed out. It was a pleasant day. I only had one problem and that was with her boots as they weren't as adequate as I had thought. We got home and she was bitchy at me. I couldn't initially figure it out - not hungry, not wet, not tired - she had SSx of frostbite on her feet. I warmed them up and she was fine. I wouldn't recommend the backpack for downhill skiing, but it was nice for xc or flatland skinning.
Oh come on, a little detective work never hurt anyone.
Glad you had fun with the kiddo, I was wondering if you meant downhill or not. That indeed might be sketchy...
That's pretty funny that she fell asleep!

Forgot the pics.
It really is the binding that makes the setup.
 These are the ones I have.
