He left out the part where Andrew was actually smoking the Rogaine. Thus the delusional behavior. |

Dude, chill. There are many past tele skiers on this site. Generally, we get along just fine. Old topic - were still here until Mitch kicks us off. |

Why does this post make me want to go skiing with tele gear on one foot and AT on the other?

No more alpine ski touring with tele gear. It is all about going up anyways.
Got super light and skinny AT skis: Hagan Haute Route 92-68-82 / 170 measured 168, Weight 1000g/ski.
Bindings are Dynafit TLT 800g/pair with leashes.
Boots are those green 3-buckle Dynafits with thermo liners (zZero 3-C TF). 1450g/boot
Whole package= 5700g
Oh boy – I was flying up hill with these things!
For downhill side the ski is relatively robust and stiff. Generally perfect match for skiing mountaineering and spring skiing.
Found out that there is even aluminum or magnesium reinforcement sheet for the binding mounting area. Definitive more hi-tech construction than BD Cult witch was also on my list of options. It amazes me that these are even lighter than my cambered BC skis: Fischer Rebounds.
Weight saving is significant! At least 3500g less weight - compared to my regular tele gear; Targa ascent with Tickets. Whole set up including boots weight less that my big mountain skis alone.
I will still tele on resorts, but for alpine tours I choose light AT gear.
Oh my god! am I one of those boring old euro AT skiers or what…soon I am buying a hat ...well I’m happy chappy and not even shamed

Yes you are boring. A/T is boring; reading about you A/T gear is boring. I think you should rock climb with helium balloons tied too your butt so we can see how boring you are!

It appears from a large portion of your posts that you are an angry, small-minded person who was beaten with a pair of Fritschis as a child. Alpine Touring[1] discussion has gone on, and Alpine Touring skiers have been around, here much longer than you've been around, and they are much more welcome than your stupid claptrap. If you don't want to copulating read about it, don't click on the thread.
Tool.
[1]Also known as a form of "backcountry skiing" to some more enlightened than you.

Welcome Toby! Don't worry too much about the idea of only using them for light touring, etc.. Soon enough, Dynafits will be all you own, use or want to talk about.

That actually sounds pretty exciting to me, but then again, I'm an AT'er. What do tele skiers tie the ballons to when they go climbing since their ass is too big and their gonads are too small? |

please don't frighten off the AT'ers from this forum. they do frighten easily.
AT skiers inject a useful perspective here. for example, many of them aren't interested in slackcountry tours. plus their use of pivot tour modes eventually made the luddites in tele binding land design free-pivot bindings.
plus they create a market for fragile but light skis that telemarkers can buy on sale in the US of A since there's not a big rabid market for strangely-branded, ugly-graphicked [sic] high tech superlight skis. so that's cool.
plus they tend to be even more engineeringly geeky than telemarkers, which makes gear discussions more interesting.
and at least they aren't splitboarders. now those guys should definitely be outlawed here.
and take pity on them. AT-focussed forums are...well...pretty damn dry and boring. hence the AT need to feel welcomed on ttips.
and ttips has hearty folk like Carl that keep it from becoming too boring.
