Re: How do I ski the bumps in tele??!!

Montana has it spot on with using the entire mogul as opposed to just the troughs. There’s generally some great snow to be found going up & over the bumps. Can’t overemphasize fast feet & keep those hands where you can see them. If your hands drop back & down, your hips will follow. Choice of skis c...

Re: Karhu Pioneer for newbie

The pioneer series are entry level, we have a couple of pairs. They’re good for k&g on relatively flat surfaces, not so much on any type of incline. Downhills are “interesting”. If you plan on breaking trail, use gaiters as there is no float at all. They will simply submarine to the base.

What year is this e99

So i’ve been following the e99 & boot discussions with interest as we’re getting more into k&g futzing around as opposed to resort teleing. I was given this pair of red e99’s a few years ago. They had salomon nordic bindings which i pulled off & replaced with non-cable 3-pins. I’m using whitewoods 1...
