Woooaaah CIMA... So cool... This forest looks so perfect for XCD fun!!

Versus?!? Who would pick the Megawatts?!? 8-)
How can they dare describing the carbon version as "Ultralight" at 8lbs?!?

Blind on Video's because of dial up but an 8 lb ski ain't lite.....NTN? add four more, then the boots? But just thinking Telewheels got some Megawats....Believe us it shows up in his tracks in the BC....Monomarks have departed for something else....Love seeing mono's, big wide not so much...TM

Yeah, the Megawatt seemed to be overkill a bit then.

He was on BD Carbon Megawatt 188cm (8lbs), Voile Switchback X2 (3.2lbs) and Scarpa T2 eco (3lbs).
It's not very often for him that carrying those heavy stuff pays off.
However, I like following his fat trace very much. :-)

The forest was so beautiful and so comfortable for telemark skiing. I'd love to visit there again sometime soon.

Must go well with 3-pinners who cherish traditional values. :-)
