I rarely ski anything above 30*. I've been backcountry skiing a long time, and just don't have any interest in effing around with stuff that can slide. I've lost friends and have too many friends with near-miss stories to count. The wife and I cap it at 30*. Your use case sounds somewhat similar to...

Hi Everyone, This thread has been super helpful! I now realize that I want to do a few things and none of them overlap. I have a small quiver, so this should have been obvious! Some of the recs so far are: Steep and Deep (not the route in my photo) Voile V6 (Better powder, steep, trees) Voile hyper ...

Skis like the Voile V6,the Altai Kom, or the Asnes Falketind XPlore are amazing for truly steep up and down skiing, touring for turns. Your map suggests that the terrain you want to ski may be flatter than that. If the terrain is such that you'll be going straight most of the time, even on descents...

Hi There, I wanted to see what folks recommend for touring in deep/soft powder. I live in the Colorado Rockies and skate ski groomed trails most of the time. I have a pair of Asnes Nansens I use to tour through the woods when there is a bit of fresh snow. They are awesome in a few inches of powder, ...

For those who end up on this thread in the future I've also found these videos helpful for some beginner classic ski tips:

There is also a website with further tips. It's around $35/year.

Seems the Thule is hard to get right now (new model refresh is coming and my order keeps getting canceled).

I'm now thinking about the Fjellpulken Classic Barnepulk. Anyone for or against it?

I also considered the Baby Glider, but like some of the features of the Fjellpulken Classic Barnepulk.

I have both a single and double Chariot (original- before bought out by Thule)- the double is a Cougar model- the single is the upgraded model (GT/xT- or something- can't remember)- I have used them for hauling kids and gear for almost 20 years. I have the jogger, bike and ski, hike and bike attach...

I used both the old Cougar1 chariot and Cougar2 chariot. These are the first generation of Cheetah . This design is built as a tank. I had used these chariots for all type of activities (Sking, running, hikking, biking) for 5 years. Because of high quality bearing, I don't think that the 5 lbs will...

Went with the Lite, hope I don't regret the 5lbs, but the cheetah seemed too small.

Does anyone have experience with any of Thule Chariot models as a pulk for kids? Debating the Lite vs Cheetah. About 5lbs difference which seems meaningful, but the Lite (which is heavier) has nice added features. We live in the mountains and also plan to also use it as a stroller in the snow with t...
