Yeah TM... I'm crazy about sap too... There's something about it... There's nothing like sap after a whole day of spring skiing under the sun...

You know what I like even better? Those last runs at the end of May when you can grab a few fresh ramps on your way up... 8-)

Are you out of your mind?!? I've been dreaming about the Karhu Traverse for YEARS!! :D

But they are impossible to find my size... I was so jealous when I found her a nice pair of brand new Traverses, exactly her size, for 25$...! Arrrrgh!!!

They are like 20 times stiffer than my Alaskas... The back part is made of plastic, and the velcro strap is just perfect... Dream boot... Please someone find me a pair of 10.5...! 8-)

I skied in the Karhu Traverse, with the
old 10th Mnts..Nice boots for low-angle
XCD..Not sure exactly what one would
use in place of them now...Maybe the BCX 675,
a more capable boot I would think, certainly,
the 875 is so..
