Bob, if your wool pants have a double fabric on the knees you can slice a hole in the top from the inside and slide in a piece of half inch foam. Like carhartt pants with the reinforced knees are designed to put a piece of foam in there. In fact I use Carhartts for skiing back in Pa. and like them. ...

This also got me thinking about the difference between hard wire bindings and cable bindings in general. The HWs may have more power and tortional stiffness than a cable but it may be worthwhile to go back in time and try some old bindings like the Targa or Chilis to see if the have that smooth feel...

I haven't skied the Hypers yet Woods and I'm way more excited about skiing this new combo than skiing them. I put together my perfect trifecta of boot, ski, and binding. As far as the 3 pin HW, it is a good binding, it tours good and is light w/o the heel throws but you need to put them on to get th...

Just when it felt like things couldn't get any better I put together the combination that eliminated the compromise of the 3-Pin HW and sent the fun factor through the roof.

Thanks T rock, it was a sweet day, and that little bump demonstrates the benefit of no wax or kick wax touring over skins. I made those turns about two weeks after the last storm at the most popular BC spot in the state after the rest of the mountain was tracked up. I find a lot of areas that hold g...

Well Canna, a ski with a dog on it would make me seem less threatening when I ask," Are you going to pick that up?"

Where are the trails in the knwr? I've been wanting to do an overnighter on the canoe trails and icefish for some rainbows. The seven lakes trail often offers good skiing,and has cabins to rent on engineer and kelly lakes. One could fish for lakers on hidden, kokanees on engineer,and rainbows in ke...

Bob, there can be issues with wax but in this case it's me. All of the time spent on the vector BCs caused me to develop a lazy kick.

I thought that ski would be a good addition to the quiver but I couldn't spend a lot of money on a ski with a dog on it.

I can see that it would be more obvious going from scales to wax. You won't get anywhere until you figure it out. It took me over 5 years going from wax to scales until I realized it, although my feet figured it out before my brain did. I think I spent more energy on my kick with scales than I neede...
