Re: Sbounds...leathers

31o, not good! Higher up there will be kinda like what you said Phoenix. if it softens up what then? Skinny long or short. Wide klutzers? Gonna be sketchy. Will "vote" for low angle and as low down on the Hills as we can get. Back to survival skiing! TM

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Headed in, bout fifteen feet, turned around crossed the road and scored some flat skiing in an old track. Verticals =, none! Workout some. breakable crush mush and side gripping ice left me in the flats and happy to be there. Wonder what the boys want to do tomorrow. Hope it's low angle for this old...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Couple more inches, so I got my light leathers and the old model e109's. 78-60-70 they are beat, and I keep right on beating them up, cause, they ski wicked in many conditions. Wish they were longer, but you take what you get at roadside sales. (178) First impression was things had gotten faster sin...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Good turns with the snow consolidating fast. 12 inches plus to @ six. Made for easy and fast rounded turns on Teleknob. (easy access) that can be used for anything from easy to steep. Good place to help conditioning and have some fun turns. TM

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Bout 5 miles yesterday with Telekid and Teleking. Followed some tracks out to a place pretty much untouched by man. beautiful hardwood runs descended out of sight to a road a thousand or more below. Soon as the snow gets back to powder (Rain forecast) we will do itttttttt. Mostly CC yesterday with s...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Wicked wonderful powder. @ 10o couldn't believe how fast it was. Turn in a dime or run them in long C type turns. The 109's worked to perfection. With skins they went up easily and with a bit of green cruised well. Wagh! The powder! Double camber is so good. TM

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Kinda cold out there, @ 10o. 10 inches of lite powder everywhere and a foot in many places. Snow and forest had a blue tint to it and all trees and branches were a white wonder world. Total silence and nothing but the hiss of the snow and ski. Turns were easy to come by didn't need much speed to hav...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Bare ground, sometimes hardpack as a base. 6-8 inches of powder with a decent crust on top. Breaking in about two inches on the up on Little Mountain. Got to "camp" started a fire and had a good day making the dirt floor warm and the rest of the place decent. Telekid showed us how to ski crust while...

Re: Old E99 seems to have lost pop and stiffness. What should I replace them with?

Beautiful ski! Thinking a 210-215 would be good. Teleking and i had those "Air Core" when they came out and when skiing them for the first-time doing camels Hump, all four skis had a tiny crack length of the ski down the middle. Poor Teleking, I had purchased them, and he skied them once (as did I) ...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Sunday a couple of miles and a stop at TK1 (telecamp). Skiing is sketchy with potential to hit anything on the forest floor. gotta run those skis flat and initiate with almost no edging. Zowie! Today hit a main line logging road from a couple years back. Wide open, kinda like a beginner trail at a s...
