Re: Leather boot resort skiing

I haven't skied Blizzart or Voile, but I've also used my Heierling leathers and Voile cable bindings paired with Rossi BC110s at some resorts in the Laurentians. The BC110s have about a 15mm wider profile than the Falketind 62s except but the tail (only 10mm wider there). After a couple of cautious ...

Re: has anyone figured out a permanent fix for holes worn in boot bellows?

Keep us updated, bauerb. I've got a small hole in the bellows of some TX Pros that I'm about to repair. Might try ShoeGoo first--has anyone had success with this?

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!

Quick and dirty lap up and down the abandoned runs at Banff Gate Resort, AB. Lots of tracks from people with alpine touring setups--even a snowboarder...odd.

Re: When to Drop a Knee

But, in the end, I telemark more because it is fun and the feeling that the movement gives, e.g., like a dance, than because of any technical advantage it may give. Telemark equipment and the telemark turn allow for complete skiing: Near perfect continuity between flats, uphills and downhills. Some...

Good spots in the middle AB Rockies

I'll be back in the Bow Valley in a couple of weeks and I'm starting to think of where to look for snow... I'm on Rossi BC110s with 3pin cables and leather boots, so looking for slopes that aren't so steep that I have to start worrying about avalanches (to say nothing of what slopes I might be skiin...

SilverStar, BC

Back at school after a short trip to Sovereign Lake/SilverStar. My timing was good - rain that had closed the xc trails after a brief opening, but by the 15th that had given way to snow again. Sovereign Lake is steadily opening more trails, there are enough groomed now for a good day of skiing. You ...

Re: hemiboreal forest skiing in New Brunswick Canada

WHOA was I ever confused. No such thing as a BC100 ski! Definitely going for the 110, probably in 179.
