Re: Newbie Questions on a Light BC Setup

I do a lot of XCD backcountry touring & downhill with a lot of trail breaking. I wanted to find the best ski for my needs. I have been skiing my S-Bound 112s nearly every day for about two weeks now. My setup is a bit different, but it works. I have a machine inserts I installed (like a quiver kille...

Re: Preferred clothing?

The guy at 3:08 in The Telemark Moive (1987) is pretty much what I wear today.

Re: Sbound 98s or 112s

Whatever you decide on do not delay your purchase. I literally got REI's last pair of 189 S-bound 112s. Then within hours they were sold out of all sizes. Supply issues in this economy.

Good luck.

Last time she tried so hard to win. She got lazy and quit after running only 279 miles ;) She finished "second".

Good luck in your 6hrs of Mad - but you can check her progress later that day, night, the next morning, the next night ....

Feet of snow falling at Mt. Hood. From this morning at the Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood... Also known in popular culture as The Overlook Hotel - I can hear that eerie music just looking at this photo. Where is Jack? https://archive-webcams.windy.com/81/1599805381/day/full/1599805381@1614355871.jpg

Re: Help me to not be a jerk

It's totally fine to use wide skis in groomed tracks as long as you are followed by a person wearing snowshoes, then they'll be the jerk :D

Re: Losing Popularity?

... I had quite a few choices of ski last year when making a purchase, but I have found very little this year. I live in the United States. REI has only 4 options, with no Fischer skis at all (was looking for 112s). Backcountry has only 3. My local shops might have some Rossignol 60-somethings (ble...

I'd think they are not idea. The riser is not a problem for kick and glide for me, but since I mounted the riser with inserts a...
