Re: Minimum viable gear for resort uphill

Looks like they size them down a bit, be nice to hear rhe translation. I used my m78s at the resort before I put tele bindings on all my AT stuff, honestly wasn't as bad as reputed

I think that most of those old single camber skis will be better than anything labeled XCD today.
With the exception of G3 Findr XCD. Alpine touring skis with scales and an xcd label slapped on there. But discontinued

Re: Old 2-buckle t2 as a step up from excursion?

I had the green two buckle T2s. They should be a good upgrade without feeling much different to you. It was a smooth transition for me coming from leather boots. Not so much going from them to a four buckle boot. These Green 2 buckle in this video? These boots seem very capable, along with the skis...

Re: Turn Talk

Re: The Alberta XCD thread

On Instagram there's an account where a father and daughter travel all over Alberta visiting it's local ski areas. Pretty interesting trip into rural Alberta from a skiers perspective. I'm sure 95 percent of these places only ever see locals. It's hard to believe these ski areas exist but somehow th...
