End of an era?

Post by iBjorn » Thu Feb 16, 2017 3:36 pm

I discovered last week that Rottefellas 3-pin Super Telemark binding is no longer listed on Rottefellas website...

Sad news indeed, since neither nnn-bc or ntn is a good replacement for light telemark.

What I told my wife about being tired with 3 babies:

"Better get used to it"


3 pin isn't going forward... so I'd say that quote applies.

If you're able, get a cable, it will keep you stable, and that ain't no fable.

If you have any apprehension, just remember, cables are only stiff in tension.

It ain't over , 'til it's over! 8-)
Yeah - I got a few of those on my shelf... any buyers?



They still have the Cobras, so Rotte hasn't totally given up on 75mm.

I know another skier in my area whom also fishes out of a kayak. We are talking about making up for our lame ski season, with an early season fishing trip to western Lake Ontario. I think it's east of Buffalo, maybe somewhere near Rochester, I'm not quite sure. If it works out, maybe I would take one those three pins, and some brown skis off your hands. It's hard to say right now, I need to fence my yard, I'll see where I stand.

I am sure when I get serious about finding a waxless in that class , I will really kick myself. I just have a few things that are in front of skis that I do not have snow for.
