Bri7 kudos to you for skiing Washington with Rossi BC 110’s and NNN BC. :D I had those skis for a while with Lite Dogs and T3’s and I couldn’t ski Pacific North West Spring snow for love nor money. Mind you it was pretty sloppy and goopy. I solved the problem by replacing them with G3 Stinger BC’s a...

Great to get your input Christer, helps in making choices. When I look at the Voile Traverse though, it's about the same weight as my TTS set-up on several pairs of my skis. I can see the Traverse as being OK if the climb is gradual where stride and glide is possible, but if you need climbing bars ...

Thursday, I skied the Horstman Glacier on Blackcomb in the public lanes (the ski camps take up most of it). Snow on skiers right of the Horstman T Bar was quite delightful, ungroomed, but soft and supportive. I was testing the new set-up on my G3 Stinger BC's (78mm underfoot). B&D Plate/Dynafit Radi...

I should also have mentioned that certain tele “gods” are skiing NNN BC on ridiculously wide skis.

It’s great to get next year’s catalogue and see what’s coming. However, I was intrigued to read their binding recommendations as you go up in waist width. Up to the Rabb 68 it’s 75mm/bc Magnum/tech, from there on it’s only tech. Perhaps by “tech” they also include TTS and Meidjo/Lynx. Tho’ folks are...

Hey Rod, do you want to post that again in anglais. I used my rusty, schoolboy French (from the UK I might add) and I got the sense you were razzing our esteemed website owner. Or was I totally out to lunch?

Corn snow develops after an overnight refreeze. Around 10AM to 11AM if it’s sunny and warm the top 1 to 2cms softens up and provides hero skiing conditions, firm support but carvable snow. It is absolute heaven and any ski will let you ski like a champion.

Agreed, if you’re mostly skiing groomers wide skis are harder on the knees. After 45 years of skiing I’ve zeroed in on 95 mm underfoot as an optimum waist width for Whistler, on and off piste. In the Spring when the snow is firm I have a pair of 85mm underfoot skis, which are super light and romp up...

Thanks TF for a great trip report. Scandinavia seems to have these wonderful rolling, alpine areas where you can have these mellow tours. The outhouse photos reminded me of a few of the BC Hut trips I’ve done. The beauty of styrofoam on the nether regions, in sub zero temperatures is definitely not ...
