Those are remarkable for having survived with an intact camber, as Lovetts had the softest of torsion box foam cores, the same construction that plagued Trucker as Company 3. I guess the seller must’ve preferred skiing the Epoke or Bonna that are for sale. She told me that the Truckers hadn’t been ...

I'd buy em if the price is right. Do they say "Company 3" anywhere? True Aspen made skis. Nope, these Truckers don’t have the “Company 3” logo but do say “Made in Boulder” with serial numbers stamped into the top sheet. If I recall correctly, Lovett was making these in Boulder before “Company 3” wa...

Crispi still makes a leather, Norwegian welt 75 mm tele boot. http://www.crispitelemark.com/home.html Someone’s been selling Brit mil-surp Alico leather 75 mm on e-bay, though I think those soles are glued on. Freestyle life had some used boots on their site earlier this week. No great deals though.

Old wood skis are a blast! Glad you had fun!

Why do lift tickets cost so much in the USA? After all most of the resorts are on our land- leased US Forest Service land. Hiya, I usually lurk around here and don't post much 'cause I don't ski too much xcD and don't buy new gear all that often. But your topic really hit a sore spot with me. I'm b...
