Voile Objective BC... I think I love you

What can I say? Where have they been all these years? I wish I knew how wonderful they are. They are so sweet, they do exactly what I tell them and they don't talk back. They come around so quick, and smear so effortlessly, I almost feel like I'm cheating. Its almost like a different sport. I'd swea...

Re: Johnny, Pierre, and the beast. Or the new Telemark Tech Norm (TTN) vs the future of XCD (NTN-BC)

I go back and forth on this system. Its intriguing, but kinda feels like second fiddle to skimo/tech. Is it just aesthetics? "Skimo/tech is hot right now, lets make a free heel copy of it". That being said if that new alfa boot turns like a t4 and the binding tours like nnnbc, Im interested. If not,...

Took my kid there Sunday, still busy, rope tow lady was mad we kept going on the wrong side of the tape where the event tent...

Re: What were they Thinking???

During a pandemic, to boot. This is what motivates the Nat'l Forest, Staties, etc. to shut off access, like last spring. Thanks for ruining it for everyone, jackasses. Gonna need to be licensed to go in the woods soon.... This latest outdoor rec trend needs to end, too many people around. People ne...

Re: What were they Thinking???

Seems to happen every weekend. I understand going light and moving quick, but theres a time and place, it was pretty cold and windy last weekend for trail runners. A pair of boots might have saved a whole lot of trouble. Read it over the weekend, usually its someone from CT or RI, Id expect Mainers,...

Re: Red Bull extreme Nordix

Ive watched a few of those. Cool concept, "cross country cross" "XCX". Skill and intensity. The hill sprinting is impressive, let alone the pumps and jumps.
They did a similar event for a while on ice skates too, cracked ice I think it was called.
