109, Telemark's magic number. The width limit tolerated by the XCD police.

Also the most mentionned number in this forum. The number has been mentionned 18 times so far.

Also, the cycle of the decimal equivalent of 1/109 ends ...853211, the first six Fibonacci numbers in reversed order.

Telesven in close to bottomless....aka....30 inches....Needed...way long skis ...or...way wide...most of us had neither...so go...head em....go...when we went in way deep twas tough auguring out. Even the steeps could throw you into the deep....wide skis could turn....narrow and short....ride it....but....if any ski went under the ride was over....so had to ride waaaayyy back....which led to.....wild downs with no turns on some steep stuff...to out and out burials....Supposed to get 10-20+, will see, but got some wood in and will hang some buckets this afternoon and tomorrow before the storm....Then...heh....break for steep and deep, hoping to ride the wave as it cuts loose in a hardwood forest....ahhhh....TM
