Re: Questions for telemark athletes
Was skiing on some cross-country skis up in Vermont's Hardwoods, one of the last vestiges of Old Growth. kamikaze is the appropriate word for what we did. Try to do a parallel in deep powder, better to just bomb! 1980 and then a skier from Stowe joined us and he did a sorta Telemark and both Telekin...

Re: Sbounds...leathers
Two boils and we have @ 15 gallons. Rastatelee and Telesven do a great job. Me. I give advice and fire the rig now and then. In other words, they put up with me. Last night our women were in the horse barn turned into a sugar shack and did they ever bring in some wickedly decent food. Lucky Boys! TM

Re: Sbounds...leathers
It gets better Fisheater. Putting down the road from the hills I got some feeling something wasn't right. Finally looked up my windshield and couldn't see any skis. Pulled over and my ski rack was wobbling all around in the wind sans skis. Bummer!. Not the first time! One ski was wedged somehow hori...

Re: Sbounds...leathers
Wicked powder up in the Highlands with more powder than my feeble brain could imagine. Got to my retirement telemark zone and had some of the best powder skiing of the season. Both Teleking and Telekid raved about it and it was good. My little zone has sharp or rounded short shots with runouts ..Doo...

Re: Sbounds...leathers
Pathetic! Me! Had a few brews up on Little Mountain, boys were out ripping up the 5-7 inches of snow that kept skis on top but could be turned on easily. Teleking Telekid and Telewoods were destroying alll the snow as I had another brew. When I pulled out, I was baaad. I mean like a beginner. Poor t...

Re: Sbounds...leathers
Good base yesterday with a wet surface. Skied over Dead Moose Pond and the skis didn't surface well on the water over the base. About two miles in camp was waterlogged with the tarp leaking and snow melting. We drifted down and some decent turns were had on a slow surface. Good workout and the Hardw...

Re: Sbounds...leathers
Two days ago just before the rain hit Teleknob. 4-6 inches of pow on breakable crushable base. Bout 20-24 inches of base. and it was good. Easy rounded arcs and nothing but powder on the afore said slope. Felt great and hope Telekid gets out there after work. Think Teleking was up there today with a...

Re: I killed my Fischer Rebound Crown skis. What to replace them with?
Most of us have broken our Rebounds. Still have a set but they are beat. Use 109's wax with decent camber. They are 78-60-70 and the newer 82-60-70. They are fast, turn well and slice powder beautifully. Like the older model but both are decent. Rebounds are a good ski in most conditions. Bit slower...

Re: Sbounds...leathers
Yesterday was an early ski in the AM. Just a workout and breaking branches off whips making for easier in and out. Bout a mile out I guess, and it was cool. First below zero ski of the year and it was good. Sun is getting stronger, and its power was evident when hitting my face. Telekid was heading ...
