Thanks RT and LJ...That's telewood and he is skiing real good....Has on new Rossi 110 with pins cable and leathers....Just behind him are some Spruce and Fir....inside is a rounded dome where we can get out of the wind...We call it the cathedral...and there are some wicked exits.....How do you like the one of Kurt with that wicked tree above him Ron.....Or the one where Telekid and I stopped to get some wax on and I shot a picture looking out....Never saw the Turkey in the tree...Only saw it when I looked at it on the screen....We are so lucky with the conditions....Skied with Telerock yesterday...got a fire going.....shot some steep stuff....WICKED snow....did I mention the snow is awesome.....TM
Re: The Ski Lite / XCD thread
Telesven ploughed the driveway...shoveled out the front door and away we go...heading for steep....cause....it's deep! Wicked winter! TM
Re: The Ski Lite / XCD thread
I'm hitting the snow but before I go, what's the widest ski you would use to say faithful to the beautiful touring/turning scope of XCD skiing.
I think mine would be 88/68/78, but I am considering 99/69/88 for going solo out there on untracked trails for some more float. If I could miraculously get my 62/54/59 skis at 195cm to float, I'd use them all day every day, but that's the dream.
What's the width limit for a Ski Lite/ XCD ski in your opinion?
