Teleman, have you tried to sand the wax pocket of your XCD skis?
A necessary step for classic racing skis to keep wax thru the finishline. We clean the ski, we sand the pocket, apply binder (either klister binder of hardwax binder) to the sanded wax pocket. Works great everytime on racing skis.

Re: NNN-BC Tele Technique
Putting pressure on the cuff of your boot with your shin is a good way to weight the bof on the rear ski. You have to compress the boot down to make it work. You will get good results doing this with even light boots. With light boots it is basically flexing your ankle foward which is something tha...

Re: Wax/alpine ski suitable for pins at a ski area
The Outtabounds are awesome, and work well with the leather Crispi's. I'm pretty pleased, though I'm still a telehack. But this is a perfect ski to go practice at a ski area all day without tearing up the scales. Polecat here I come! I do think I would like it if they were mounted a bit more forwar...

Re: My Ski History by anemic
My ski history development continues. Would you like to read about it? Last night we had a high school ski meet so I purchased a lift ticket and watched the racing from my leather boots, latched with cable bindings onto the BD Stigmas. I have heard the question raised around here, what is the most s...

Re: My Ski History by anemic
Mrs anemic & I bought lift tix Sunday evening for a few runs. She loves it!!! And she looks like a tele instructor. She is amazing. She loves her Epoch skis and new Garmont leather boots. My BD Stigmas w/cable bindings perform as hoped. It was warm corn snow and they were right home. Handled a littl...

Re: My Ski History by anemic
I can tele!!! Blowing over 40 mph. Temp rose to 61. Local ski hill can't run chairlifts in this breeze so they closed. And I headed out on the corn! I grabbed my wife's Epochs 176cm & more side cut than Eon. And crowns. I was in XCD heaven!! I went up everything but the true black slope. Great skis....

Re: My Ski History by anemic
lowangleal, that is a sobering tale. We must continue to be prudent. Yesterday's TR I have broken the seal and have tele'd. More accurately I spent a full day attempting to tele. Reminder: I weigh 155#, I'm on a waxable brand new 195 cm Eon, mounted with HD mountaineer 3 pin voile bindings on a leat...
