Re: Seeking Advice on NTN

Too bad about that accident Harris, glad to hear you're up and running. It was that hard to get used to NTN, how much of it was due to the boot do you think? I would say the injury had more to do with the difference between skiing years on the the 75mm norm and the newness of learning the NTN Freer...

Re: Seeking Advice on NTN

So this is what I'd say about all that... I made the conversion to NTN via TX Pros with Rott Freerides on BD Havoks from circa 1995 Garmont Garas mated with Targa G3 bindings mounted on a variety of alpine race skis and 75mm stick Kazamas. I had a really hard time at first with NTN. My binding choic...

Re: A humbling day

There are just some conditions that suck to tele. Telemark skiers have been plying our trade for a long time now, and if there were secrets they would've been long ago revealed. Some of the less than great conditions can be mitigated by using the right gear for the job but only to a point. And if yo...

New School vs Old School blather. It is just skiing.

I believe this pretty much nails it and explains all there is to know, and if patient there is some excellent tele skiing at the end.

This is all Wooderson's fault.

My quiver is basically newish K2 Pinnacle 95s for usual slop, newish Praxis Protest pure deep wet skis, and 15 year old second hand 165 Volkl P60 junior race skis, which worked "Meh." Needing a new set of boards for bullet-proof groom I've been shopping and Wooderson inadvertently steered me to Vant...

Re: It doesn't get much better conditions for chute skiing than this.

anemic would say these guys are skiing old school. I'd say otherwise. Pretty badass telemark skiing in my book. Makes me yearn for corn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDjqhDlfXWI This was badass. Reminds me of skiing New Hampshire, except less people. He picks a nice mellow line at the end, my ki...

Re: It doesn't get much better conditions for chute skiing than this.

Let's find those guys and ski with 'em Harris!!! That looks like a fun crowd in a fun spot. Actually this would be an even better trip. (hint, wait for the 1:40 mark). And being an aircraft mechanic, what a thrill to ride in a total piece of shit, leaking, Cold War circa Russian ex military helicop...
