Re: Early turns for the 24/25 season

During our trek westward via the TransCanada Highway we stopped for several days in Banff. What an absolutely amazing place. I didn’t know something so beautiful could exist on this planet. You are quite fortunate to be able to explore it by ski and bike. Hopefully this winter I’ll be able to make i...

Re: Early turns for the 24/25 season

:lol:
It happened entirely by coincidence. Much like my grout-fit ski outfit that I desperately need to replace :shock: :?

Early turns for the 24/25 season

I moved from Connecticut to Washington this past summer. It was a sudden move, only had three weeks to pack up the house there. We did get to spend just shy of three weeks driving west via the TransCanada Highway, which has been a dream of mine for years. Good times. Currently we're getting pounded ...

Re: 2025 Fischer traverse 78

I have the Fischer Traverse 78 @ 179 and I weigh 72kg. I have zero issue with them gripping due to being on the low end of the weight recommendation. I got them when they were made in China so the quality is lacking and there is no EZ ski attachment. Lots of chips on the top sheet and the graphics a...

Re: Xplore screws sourcing

https://res.cloudinary.com/mountaintopcoding-127956/image/upload/v1730597962/Telemark%20Talk/IMG_3925_v3vd6k.jpg I picked these bindings up at REI for $60. They are missing one screw and the plastic screw covers... I would very much like to get a few extra screws. I was going to email Rotefella and...

Spring break!

I love Prospect Mountain Ski Resort . The lodge is cozy, the food is delicious and well priced, and the people are kind, happy, and polite. So, when the weather reports showed a large snow event the first week of April I was amped :shock: to squeeze in one more trip. It was to be a decidedly more ch...

Re: Top sheet designs

@mca80 Unfortunately I don’t know anything about the skis other than the fact that they’re phenomenal works of art. I’d love to get a set but $2,200 is a steep price

Re: Fischer 23/24 EZ skin models.

I was pretty bummed when I got my Traverse 78's from REI last month and discovered they didn't have the EZ Skin attachment :cry: I spoke to an employee at Great Glen Trails in NH about it (they are a Fischer dealer) and she said that with the Ukraine factory fire (I am sure the war isn't helping muc...
