Wabene, I agree it would be great to have a waxable ski for when conditions are right, but does it have to be a s98? Why not wax up one of your alpine skis if you have one. Even my widest alpine ski will tour better than my best scaled ski when waxed in good dry conditions, especially if they have ...

IMO, it might have been difficult to get started with b-tele on E99’s or Gammes. I learned b-tele first on 196 cm FTX’s and 173 cm Åsnes V12’s. The FTX’s and V12’s have similar dimensions and cambers. But when you have got a grasp pf b-tele dialed in, the technique seems easy on Gamme and E99 class...

If you make it happen, post some pics. I know I'll be impressed.

A quick google search revealed that there are a few ski resorts in Mexico. I would check to see if you will be near one of them. Mexico is a big country.

I don’t know anything about skiing in Mexico but I would definitely bring my rock skis. You may also need some thick skin so all of the strange looks you’ll be getting at the airport carrying your skis won’t make you feel self conscious. Let us know how it goes.
