Went out for the first on my Fischer Crown 99s BCX skis to the resort and it was icy as hell. Finally developed a wide stance quasi-Tele turn technique on the easy Blues after numerous humbling falls etc. the most fun was fielding questions from people on the lift about my skinny skis!

I have the BCX 75’s with Voile Traverse bindings on an set ofCrown 99 BCX skis. With a little practice they go down hill very well. Conversely, while touring on the flats they are are lighter and feel much more nimble and comfortable than my Scarpa T4 / Black Diamond skin set up.
