Regarding mounting tele bindings, if you ski aggressively, or ski backcountry on gear that includes stiffer boots and active bindings, I'd recommend using inserts. I've pulled bindings out of skis before and I'm only 5'8" tall and 155 or so. I ski bumps out west, a lot, and the torque involved will ...

Nice pix!

I have 48 days on mine so far this season with most days involving inbounds bump skiing. There were some initial growing pains with the Lynx that have ...

Great video? Thank you MSU. Pretty sure I skied one of those chutes where the skier drops sharply off the cornice.

Owned by Josh Madsen, who has been an effective advocate for telemark out west for quite a while, ran "tele-tribe" to ge...

Leashes have gotten kind of pricey. Some ski brakes are as low as $40 while some ski leashes are as high as $50. I'd just get something fairly cheap like these: https://www.backcountry.com/22-designs-axl-vice-leashes?CMP_SKU=TTD0034&MER=0406&skid=TTD0034-ONECOL-COILEA&mr:trackingCode=7FBED0D8-75ED-E...

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Konect.
