Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!

Nice. My old stomping grounds. Once upon a time I was a ski instructor down the street from you. It's amazing how much difference there is in being south facing, Vs. Pinebrook facing north. 2 months less winter! Yep, more time golfing and less time shoveling snow on the north side of the highway. T...

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!

We're not getting as much snow as Utah but conditions have been great in Western Colorado. Here's a pic from last night on the Uncompahgre Plateau -

Re: Pick my next NNNBC Ski

Thanks for the mention Stephen. I looked at that the other day after reading up on the MR48. I'm a little wary of the integrated skin. If it was the regular MR48 I would have already made the purchase as it appears to be a great price. Given the available options, I'm looking at the Ousland and Finn...

Re: Pick my next NNNBC Ski

spopepro you voice one of my concerns. I want to be track capable but still agile enough to ski ungroomed singletrack. Perhaps those are two diametrically opposed capabilities for a nordic ski... I don't have enough experience in groomed tracks to say. I would sacrifice some capability in the tracks...

Pick my next NNNBC Ski

Hey all, longtime lurker infrequent poster. Getting a little tired of reading about physics so thought I would start a gear thread and enlist your help in picking my next ski. I count myself lucky to ski 3-4 times a week. A couple days a week in the late afternoon after work I ski my NNNBC setup (SB...

Re: Alpine Touring vs. NTN (and perhaps other options) - looking for thoughts on a new setup

Just now seeing the additional feedback. Thanks guys. I am interested in getting more competent at the telemark turn on my existing NNN BC setup. Most my friends are alpine skiers so figuring out xcd / telemark turns on my own through trial and error. As a pretty advanced alpine skier, it has been a...

Re: Alpine Touring vs. NTN (and perhaps other options) - looking for thoughts on a new setup

Appreciate the feedback. I do hope to continue improving my telemark skills in my current setup. Just lack the skill/confidence to take on steeper descents with my current setup. Thinking AT may be the way to go for now.

Thanks again
