Ski&Pulk adventures in Slovakia.

Post by Mishkin » Wed Dec 01, 2021 2:07 pm

Hi friends,
this is my first post as a Newbie in TelemarkTalk and I want to send you all my warm greetings from Slovakian forests. This was one of my prepairing training trips for Swedish Arctic. So let me share with you some pictures. Here I spent 3 days (Jan/2021) on skis with my lovely pulk a did about 60km in one of our most remote forests.
I will be happy to meet some new friends in this community:)

These pics are insanely good!

Are you going to Sweden this winter or did you already go last year? Which Helsport is that? What’s your ski choice? How do you like full length nylon (orange) skins? Would you recommend nylon over mohair for the full length?

Thanks for joining and sharing, keep doing it, please.

Thank you very much Woodserson.
I finally went to Sweden at the end of March 2021 (130km, 8 days, unsupported) and I will make post about it soon here.
This Helsport tent is Fjelheimen 3 X-trem. I have to say that I am very satisfied with my select.
For all my previous trips I used to use Czech BC skis Sporten Ranger 68 MGE with Rottefella Manual and now I am on the way to buy Asnes Amundsen Fram. Also I would like to buy new boots, because my Fischer BCX6 started to break a part and I am in love with ALFA Outback A/P/S.
And Skins topic..... CONTOUR Guide Backcountry 50/210 mohair. They were realy practical in steep hilly parts with pulk but in some warmer conditions they got wet and snow stucked to them. So I dont know if I did well but I tried to wax them.

The photographer has a keen eye... good balance of land & heavens. The landscape looks surreal, as if from my imagination. Well done on the photos and the walkabout. Thanks for sharing, and welcome.
