Thanks, Fisheater! I like taking pictures but setting them up on a site is a nonstarter. TM

Re: Does nordic camber make a difference in deep snow?

In order to go up you need wax, bones or something to cruise. On the down you want breakaway speed to initiate anything you do. Double camber allows the ski to "cruise" efficiently. In other words, less drag as the camber allows the glide part of the ski to fly. My two cents! TM

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Really nice sun rise this morning. Other day while watching Boots long drive bounding along an undulating fairway a dark shadow flew over the trees behind us and swooped down and followed the contours and "beaked the ball" and the black apparition flew off with a golf ball in its mouth. Man, it's gr...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Three inches of wet snow which allowed for some easy turns in October. Like that!. Wonder if Teleking shot some over at his house. Suspect he did. Yeah. Telekid might have done some too. Will see! TM

Re: Short, waxable ski recommendation

Been skiing e99's (TN66?) for about let's round it out, 50 years. Straight, double camber, and have been able to maneuver them well. The FEEL is close to heaven, and they stay in the track pretty well if that is what you do. Also have the 109's with rocker which I don't like at all. Down good but go...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

This time of year is always eye bending. Total color and with almost no wind and ditto with rain, gravity has not yet won the battle. Color is wonderful and just a hint of leaves fading away. TM

Re: old wool pants for skiing

Merril Ultra boots, awesome! Used wool forever until I put on my old leather knickers from the time my wife got them thinking she got leather shorts. Man do they protect from whips. They last a long time and while heavier than most clothing they work in the Bush. Merino and Leathers make a big diffe...
