10 cents on the dollar maybe for vintage tourist gear. try looking on FB for used skimo or light AT gear. people want 90% of retail for their used stuff. I call it "aspirational pricing"

sorry, best I could muster for April fools day....

my BMI is now 77. do I need new skis?

find skis to suit is one thing, but how about finding ski suits? Nordic race suit manufacturers have a very specific interpretation of what "large" means, and its generally a relative measure that only applies to the pool of people who buy those suits. a size Large nordic race suit has nothing in co...

skimo has nothing to do with tele. I was racing at the National Skimo Championships in Utah last winter, and they were also having the youth national championships. people talk about women with eating disorders/body issues, but what I saw amongst the male youth was shocking. I have no facts, and I w...

I was so skinny in high school I had to tie the arm holes of my XC running singlet together so it didn't slide off. I was built for running and XC skiing. by my sophomore year in college I had been hitting the gym and found myself weighing 220...3 years after weighing 155 soaking wet. my muscle mass...
