Some XCD activity has gotten even lighter since Barnett's book - there is an article in the current "Backcountry" mag about people doing alpine traverses in the Sierra on skate skis. Traveling great distances in one day. Looks cool.
speaking of animal hides for skins - you can still buy real seal skins:

Re: Update from the XCD Knights
Don't know if the fellas from Red Fang ski...but they are better at drinking beer and playing punk/metal than being knights! I wonder what kind of music the knights listen to before they XCD ski...

Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

I meant for that post to be in the lite tele ski thread. Don't know what happened.
