Re: Snow or none?

So far, so good in Colorado! nice vintage skis! what binding/boots are you using? Totally jealous over your early-season snow :mrgreen: They look like Riva bindings. My favorite for any ski that I will be using leather boots with. They are nice skis, never saw them before. Yes, they are old Rivas. ...

Re: Why not the telemark?

I've learned two new terms today!
Brachiating (anrothar) and Falling Leaf (fisheater).
I've used both of these "techniques" in the past without knowing what to call them.

Re: 3-pin limit

My wife has the women's T2 of that vinatage, and her only complaint is that she can't operate the walk/ski switch as she can't get the little wire bail out of the slot or back in.

About 7 miles of XCD in the Snowy Range mountains. Includes a bonfire, beer and music. This will be my third year in a row. I reco...
