Winter can’t go on forever, but it seems like every ski outing is better than the last until it is the last.

Any CO Front Rangers looking for 10.5 Garmont Excursions? I can’t tell much about what kind of shape they’re in, but probably worth someone investigating.

Welcome, André18 . All my gear is old, but I’m about 6’3” and 175, so I’ll chime in. While I don’t ski the most up to date versions of these skis, I do ski the S-bound 98 in 179cm and the Madshus Annum (predecessor to Panorama 78) in 195cm. From what I gather, the skis have gotten just slightly ligh...

Who cares who he is?

These are the trusty old Fischer Outtabounds Crown skis in the 179cm length. They have metal edges and a negative fish scale pattern (less kick, but more glide). The sidecut is 88mm, 68mm, 78mm. These would be good for someone who wants to xc ski in the backcountry on firm snow or soft snow over a f...

$125 Selling a pair of Altai Hoks. These straddle the line between snowshoes, cross-country skis, and downhill skis. They are a short, wide ski with an integrated, non-removable skin underfoot. Think of them as a fast snowshoe or a slow, grippy ski. I have them mounted with the universal bindings, w...

Hi, Tall Grass. I didn't see your previous post to me (asking where in central CO I am) in time to answer, so I'll reply to this. I'm around Fairplay Monday-Thursday, with M and W being the days that I can generally get out to ski after work (say, 5pm ish). You're generally in Summit County, no? If ...
