Re: Am I really in Duluth?
I feel for you. We finally got enough now use good skis, on hiking trails. Nowhere near enough to go through the woods with all the downed branches and big rocks and whatnot. First time using Combat NATO on a little 5k, holy cow what an awesome ski. Then I took Nansen down my steep driveway for some short turns, first time using a cable, adds a whole new dimension of power.

No more complaints here. We had some we heavy stuff that melted and refroze. Now it is very cold and get are getting lots of light fluffy lake effect snow on top of a solid base. Good times. Skiing Swix Green at 10 degrees F today.

Re: Am I really in Duluth?
I might just have to head your way. We just don't have the base with cold, snowless weather on tap. I'm not messing up any of my good skis.FourthCoast wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 4:54 pmNo more complaints here. We had some we heavy stuff that melted and refroze.

High 30s/40 and rain forecast next weekend. Would need a miracle to have enough snow for midwest telefest.

Re: Am I really in Duluth?
Can't believe they're open. I got a few small scratches in Nansen there when it looked 10x better.
