The Ski Lite / XCD thread

The BCXs look very fragile to me... They look soooo easy to break. But I might be totally wrong... Never tried them... (I think they are the ugliest boots on the market... they wouldn't look good on me... I like my gear a little bit older... : )

TM, your pics always look a lot like our woods here... We get about 800ft of that kind of hardwoods, if we skip the flats... You're welcome here anytime you want... So we usually go fill up with gas in Richford about every week... Are you located far from there?

LJ "you can't get there from here", but if we did it would be about 35 minutes....if we took route 58, which we can't, but dig this LJ.....got up waay early and headed out to telecamp....bout two miles in and the sun was wicked hot even before it came up...Stripped down to shorts showing I ain't scat.....Then the impossible happened....two Valkyries flew over....landed smiling and said to me.....Wow!!!! Writing this from Valhalla....it's all that it's cranked up to be....TM

Hard pack on four feet...really special....That looks like an extension of our hill up north!!!!!South and east were coming into it bout mid morning....Had to rewax three times....worth it....TM

Yeah I spent the last week at the lifts, it was pure concrete here in the woods... But now it's melting/freezing/melting, and it's gonna be real fun in the woods..! My favorite time of the year!

Sap will flow today....hope the "Boys" will want to collect tomorrow morning....boil during the day....Hardpack in the woods but corn is there if one waits into the afternoon on the west slopes.....Conditions yesterday were variable...code for tough......going from hardpack to traces of powder and corn....ponds are still holding up and the forest bottom covered with balsam and spruce nips..from previous ice shedding....Still on @ four feet and will try to hit some corn today...TM

Ron we were close to where the last picture was taken....Up top the corn was silky and below totally beautiful corn....with blue sky.....south west winds....good views to the Whites and Green Mountains in the distance....Remember the ski area that I sent?....Those kinds of views.....Whips are starting to rear their tops but the skiing is wonderful....Telekid got a learning experience....He was on Rossi bc90....Me...Rebounds ...His 189....mine 179....Rebounds turned on a dime anywhere....high speed...tight zones....anywhere....The Rossi's had to be finessed....He let the skis go and they flowed but had to be skied in longer wide open arcs....Man did we ever have a blast....Have made 20+ gallons and will come close to 8-10 today....great spring...TM

[Teleman]

Friday we made 11 and three quarters gallons of syrup....might be a new record one day boil....Will hit something this morning but the car will have to make the decision.....better get back too....46 anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But not go skiing....heh....will just have to pay the price......T-E-L-E....TM
