Re: 78 Traverse / 88 Excursion which one? Or another?

I have been thinking of a Ski with the same characteristics as the OP discribed. The Ski that I have used the most this season are the Epochs. They are not great at anything but I can kinda do it all to some level with this Ski. It runs 99 at the shovel and 68 at the waist and was wanting to try som...

Re: The Last King. AKA: A telemarking battle movie.

Who did Sondre Norheim learn it from??? I believe it was all part of getting around and moving through that terrain while on skis that they learned different techniques. I am sure it was used in some form with a combination of other skills before it was given a name and called a style. However in th...

Re: The Last King. AKA: A telemarking battle movie.

It's a good movie with some good skiing in it. I'm reading the book now "Birkebeiner" by Jeff Foltz, a historical fiction about the events.

Little Side Step Travese, Diagonal Stride, Post Hole and

I even squeezed out a T-Turn or two. Took the the Annums out today up a creek out my back door. Had a lot of fun the Annums floated well in the deep snow and it was a good workout. It was the perfect Ski today with light leather boots and no cable. Had to remove the skis and cross the creek several ...

Very nice. Touring to hit those short hills are what I like best.

Re: Madshus Birkebeiner Wooden Skis

Years ago people use to store their skis during the summer months with a tennis ball in the camber pocket area with the tips and tails secured. I have never done that but might be worth a try.

Re: Madshus Birkebeiner Wooden Skis

Give them a try as they are, should be fun. I have an old pair of Karhu XCD supreme that have little camber left, I can easily press them together with a thumb and two fingers of one hand. I took them out yesterday on our hard, groomed and refrozen track and had a blast. I think getting the grip wax...

Re: Who's skiing tomorrow?

Got out today and tried the t4s. We had 3" of heavy wet snow on top of the freezing rain/slush from the past two days. The snow was fast and grabby, I used my new K2 Waybacks and my epoch. The waybacks are the fattest ski I have ever skied at 126-88-113 and they felt weird but floated very well comp...

Re: Who's skiing tomorrow?

I hope you are right. No ski today, it rained even harder as I was about to go out. We are starting to flood around here with one lane traffic on the Seward Hwy from standing water, in town is even worse.
