Re: Telemark Lessons

Salut Montrealer! Bienvenue sur le forum. Some lessons might help you out to understand the basics but I strongly believe that telemark is something you have to learn by yourself. Apparently, a certain Johanne is giving really good courses at Le Massif. I don't know if you've been to La Reserve bef...

Re: Question on binding mount location

MikeK you are not alone, I too am a cube dweller who yearns for something different... and then there is the ski tripping thread that interests me as well... they are calling for some rain this weekend so may...

Re: Request for Advice: NTN or 7tm Releasable Telemark Bindi

Oh by the way, I have a nice pair of 2014 TX Pros size 28 for sale... 8-) Haha thanks for the offer Johnny, but I just burn through TX Pro's way too quickly to even consider paying the big bucks for those again. Too bad because they really are comfortable and perfect during those first 5 days of us...

Re: Hoth, QC

J'ai des photos a partager avec vous! They are totally appropriate for this thread, given the subject name Hoth. These were taken near Finse, Norway... the actual filming location for Hoth in Star Wars! I'm guessing a big reason why this location was chosen for filming is because of the cross countr...

Re: Hoth, QC

There's plenty of good stuff to ski in Gatineau, especially if you like cross country skiing. The Parc de la Gatineau is paradise for XC, with over 200 of KMs of classic, and 100 km skate, and plenty of great backcountry xc trails as well. For lift served fun, Mt. Ste Marie is an hour north, and it ...

Re: Request for Advice: NTN or 7tm Releasable Telemark Bindi

Yeah, maybe I just need to break the Comps in a bit. They actually are size 28..! I'll keep you posted in early winter, though I'll want to get a few more days on them before deciding to sell them. I'm 5'9, weighing in at 165 lbs, pure muscle... :lol: From what I've read, it looks like the comps hav...

Re: Request for Advice: NTN or 7tm Releasable Telemark Bindi

Hello! I've been following this forum for over a year, however I've kept quiet the whole time. I've been meaning to share my experience with the NTN system, and it's a bit of a quiet day at work, so I figure today is the day! P.S. I'm a forum noob so I might be posting this in the wrong thread, don'...

Re: Hoth, QC

I will ski ADK slides with you guys, I will keep an eye on the forums next year to join in.

Just returned from a weekend down there, and hiked Iroquois, Algonquin, and Wright... amazing looking slides abound. Trap Dyke off of Colden looks superb.
