Advice for telemark skis on hardpacck
Re: Advice for telemark skis on hardpacck
I have the 2018 Rossignol Experience HD 88 with a 75mm (Bishop) set up.
Ditto. Very good as a Telemark ski.
Personally, I'd not want a ski over 90mm underfoot skiing in New England (Maine) .The closer to 80mm
the better.
I have another maxim: on modern shaped skis, 180 cm in length or less.
These are my crappy opinions, others may disagree.

Do you bring your skis into the reliable casino? Can I gamble my passion for XC skis into bitcoins?sigband wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 4:18 amWe have so many things in common. I also like skiing, and I love playing casino games.
Also, I am keen to get as many bitcoins as possible.
It isn't that easy due to the high price of bitcoins, but I found an online casino where I can enjoy gambling and earn some bitcoins.
Nowadays, it is pretty challenging to find reliable online casinos, but mainly, it is challenging to find bitcoin online casinos.
If you also have a passion for gambling and bitcoins, check the link I attached above.
I wish you only big wins, but remember that gambling is nothing more than just a game.
Do they serve tasty drinks in this ski-friendly casino?

I think the casino can be reliably counted on to transfer wealth from you to them.

Re: Advice for telemark skis on hardpacck
Got a pair of K2 way back 88s as a dedicated East Coast resorts ski and have no regrets. That was after seeing a lot of advice here and scouring reviews. The K2s turn quick and our great all mountain ski. Another ski I'd be interested in is the Elan RipStik 88. The Elan has a tighter turning radius, but sacrifices some in the all mountain category. Either ski is a lot of fun and the width is perfect for a couple of inches of fresh snow.
I installed inserts on this keys and can switch out an NTN and Target binding depending on what kind of skiing I want to do that day. If I'm going early and climbing I ski the Targas. There will never be anything like the feel of 75 mm.
Other days the NTN allows more power for more aggressive skiing. 62 years old and still have a long way to go and a short time to get there.

Assuming the OP has the right NTN binding and a beefy boot, I would recommend a good sport carver or even a race (non-FIS) carver, neither of which will exceed 80 mm in the waist to allow for quicker edge to edge transitions, but coming from the 107 Corvus I'd stay above 75 - there will be some adjustment time required. The ski that transitioned me into carving was Stolkli's Laser AX (Stockli apparently is re-naming much of its stock, so not sure what next season's equivalent will be).
A little early tip rise would help through the transition, but eventually should be eliminated for a full cambered carver. Any so-called "all mountain carver" will be ok on softer, more edge able snow, but flail on hard, icy snow.
