My poor Alaskas...

This is the World Famous TelemarkTalk / TelemarkTips Forum, by far the most dynamic telemark and backcountry skiing discussion board on the world wide web. We have fun here, come on in and be a part of it.

Ahahaha! You're allowed to say anything... As I told Ron last year, the only thing I personally won't accept is hate and other forums related crap. : )

Ok you got me Ben, I'll sell my RT Bulldogs and get a pair of HH socks... (That will instantly make me as cool as the heliskiing guys in their ads!)

I really wish I was as fit as you... I could never, never do 500km trips... I wish I could, but I'm just a backyard (and carving/moguls) guy... Still, my toes are freezing after 30 minutes... ; )

I have yet to see a boot that fits one's foot. There's no such thing as a perfect boot... 8-)

One thing is sure, I can't go back to full, stiff leather boots. The Alaska are so smooth and comfy, I wouldn't return to anything else even if it offers better control...

Man this TT forum is a problem. I just skipped on breakfast and ran out of time for my little ski outing this morning. Now that sucks. See you around!
I live for the Telemark arc....The feeeeeeel.....I ski miles to get to a place where there is guaranteed snow to do the deal....TM

LoveJohnny, you lace your boots like I do. We must be brothers from a different mother. Other than that, I got nothin' on the boots. Not to derail the boot thread, but....

Bgregoire, great trip-pics of your Scandinavian adventure! I flunked French in the 6th grade, so my grasp of the language is pretty slim. Could you describe your route, or maybe a map? I visited the land of the Sami years ago and always thought it would be an awesome place in the winter. Also, what "hot tent" are you looking at for your next outing?

Ahahahaha! I guess I never really learned how to tie shoe laces... Is it right or wrong? 8-)

It's definitely a problem for a lot of people.
But there's another word for it in both French and English: I think they call it "Passion"... 8-)

Yep, very interesting trip and story. I was about to ask you about the kicker skins... If it had something to do with the gear you were carrying... Found the answer! Hey yeah, you should give a special live conference in English for TTalkers...!
