[@yungskullivan]

Thanks for the lesson! That backdrop is so cool 😊

[@milllworks]

Really useful info. Just got my shift/quest set up and this video was packed with helfulness. cheers.

[@SalomonTV]

Stoked to hear it was helpful! Have fun this winter. 🔥

[@kgsobott]

I think a super brief section on the option of ski/binding crampons would have been a great addition especially for those colder icy days on steeper sections. Probably beyond the scope of people just starting out, but something that might be valuable in other videos. Apart from that, it's great how you guys and gals manage to stay perfectly on script and side step all the little pitfalls. Awesome Video again Salomon, straight to the the point. ✨🎿💖🤘

[@malinoyes]

Great idea! and thanks!

[@williamfeldman1392]

I just wanna know how you got that Topo map on the wall!!!!!!

[@samsonian]

I was thinking the same thing although less how but more just BITCHIN’!

[@DrewPetersenSki]

It's pretty sweet, eh?! All credit for that goes to my roommate/landlord though.

[@pdrnpdx]

Sweet Force 9 3s...looks like the first year too!

[@OnceUponaSaga]

Nice! 👍 I really like the way Drew explains things. He comes off very sympathetic 🙂 #SagaBingeWatchingSalomonTV

Where could I get that wallpaper

[@mrschwartzmc]

Working at a ski area, I keep seeing people with Shift bindings and the front toe lever is not locked down all the way. I'm guessing this is not recommended. What is the risk in skiing the binding like that? Also, more importantly, is this binding an Autobot or Decepticon?

[@GOLH]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnu7h3yiZ96pgac Hey Drew, have you tried unclipping the top buckles completely and undoing the power strap? Try it out, that's what we do. It will give you even more range of motion, for an even longer stride, thus making you the efficiency master on the uphill.

[@nickleaney699]

Does a ski crampon just fit into a shift binding as per a tech binding?

[@jeffspicoli2643]

The more you use a skin saver... the longer your glue will last on your skins. Coltex, Pomoca whatever... it's manufacturer recommended. Cheers!

[@samsonian]

In other words; NO GLUE, NO STICK, NO DICE!!!

[@JMGwidt]

100% - 2 turns in and I forgot the boot is still in walk mode

[@DrewPetersenSki]

We've all done it... several times!

[@stanrey7]

it happens to the best of us. Ive done it a few times for sure.

[@kgsobott]

@@stanrey7 Yeah, it happens all too quickly too. Provides great entertainment for ones peers though ✨😂

[@Andrei_K1G1K]

Legit watched a guy futz with the shift binding on his skis for full 5 minutes at the bottom of the Summer Road before starting to skin up with brakes still down until his buddy mentioned it. This year is gonna be tough...

[@JaZziDco]

Where is that shift mounted on the qst106? Recommended or more forward?

[@DrewPetersenSki]

I mount mine 1 cm forward from recommended. That seems to be my personal sweet spot on it!

[@jeffspicoli2643]

I ski the 99/188 on patrol. I bring the 106/188 out on powder days only really. I'm surprised when I do... same length ski, just looks, and feels like it's a bit shorter due to the rise in the tip. I mount on the recommended. So, I don't know how I feel about mounting forward. Just my thought...

[@islandaerial3414]

Please tell me mullets aren't a thing again... Where was this tech back in the 80s-90s???

[@SalomonTV]

😂

[@UniSkibum]

I damaged my ski bumping the snow out of my bindings

[@samsonian]

I know it’s a dreaded piece of extra gear, but a mini hand whisk broom or such gets the job done with no risk to equipment...I apologize if I’m being Capt Obvious, I tend to do that in my offer of help. Cheers!

[@edrundle3551]

Drew Petersen: I have several important things that will improve your skin application and removal presentation greatly. I have 45+ years of climbing skin experience. I just reached out to friend you on FB. Perhaps we can communicate on Messenger then maybe Face Time.

[@edrundle3551]

PS, most of your presentation is XLNT.
