Re: Thinking about new boots, 75mm vs NTN, from my perspective.

as long as you have a smile on your face when you're skiing, you're winning. agreed! On topic, my Garmont Ener-Gs are getting long in the tooth.

Re: Satchel’s Neophyte Nordic Backcountry Adventure Thread

I've been enjoying your photos from the season -- your area reminds me of my days growing up in Ohio. I used to use this stuff called "Maxi Glide" on my waxless XC skis for that kind of snow/conditions. I have not really kept up on that stuff in recent years/decades, so could not even begin tell you...

Re: SNOW!!!! whatcha got? (Redux w/ pic)

Good to see Hoodoo open. It has always been a bit sketchy regarding snow. Do they still have free skiing for seniors 65 +? Even though my dad was closer to Bachelor, he took advantage of the free skiing at Hoodoo. The only time I skied there was with him x-c skiing out to Big Lake and beyond. He wa...

Re: New Telemarker

I've been skiing with my son since he was very young. We started the kids on "snow party" skis when they were 2 or 3 years old and went from there. That boy turned 18 this week and graduates from HS in a few months. I'm losing my ski buddy, but we are making sure we squeeze the best of this last sea...
