Hi both, I’m not really a telemarker- just a wife who wants to make her hubby happy with skis : ) I was warned by a friend to ask about compatability - I guess meaning, will they actually fit? We could always adjust the screw length if there is a screw depth issue. Thanks! I don't see any reason wh...

When you ask about compatibility, what do you mean? Are you concerned that mounting these skis with telemark (or Freedoms specifically) will void the warranty? Are you concerned that the screws are too long for the thickness of the ski? Or that the top sheet won't hold for a telemark mount? I'm sure...

This was from last weekend at Belleayre Mountain in the Catskills. We saw a few other telemarkers anyone else skiing there? IMG_9233.png The last time I skied Belleayre was in 1969. We had some races there (alpine) when I was in H.S. So I guess you're an East Coast guy. Are you from NY? My father w...

Welcome aboard!

Everyone is different, and most of my experience is with T2 Eco (and Garmont Syner-G) and above, in height and stiffness (mostly NTN), plus alpine boots. I usually go for 2 fingers in shell fit. I'm inclined to believe your shell is just too small.

"I guess the bottom line is, do what's necessary, mix and match if you need to. A, B, whatever. If it works, do it." Exactly how I look at it. Think I've added that comment on a few threads here over the years. More importantly, I'd like to say your skiing looks very good, Montana, and especially g...

That looked like a fantastic trip rando, and great pictures. It's nice to go back to places where your friends with the locals. Al there is good movie debuting tonight on Net Flix about the Sami people- it is based on a novel written by a Swedish Sami woman about some of the tribulations they endur...

If you use a pulk I highly recommend that you build a rear-brake so that when you pause during an ascent your pulk cannot slide backwards and pull on you. It only requires an alu piano-hinge and a piece of plastic (or alu) for the flap- I used UHMWPE stock because I had it laying around- I braced t...

As for your Crispis, you could thermofit them again, if the insert allows. Will thermofitting reduce the size of the innerliner? Not sure if these shoes have innerliners which cat be termofitted: Was on a strict budget when they were purchased. I think thermofitting expands the foam in the liner, m...
