Ski hacks, homemade XCD fatties...

...With a somewhat non comprehensive comparison to BC125s. These guys are having all the fun!



I really love this kind of hack-thinking, it's right up my alley. It also is getting me stoked for some chomping around the woods! Woot let's go already!

Very cool.

Very cheap. Strong construction. Why not?

The snow didn't seem that deep...

Must be the first time I have ever seen an NNN-BC binding on a ski as wide as the BC125. Very cool. Strange that he chose the "auto" binding though.
Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

It ain't the "auto", its the older version of the rottefella with metal tab. I have a few myself.
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

Cool- sorry about my mistake regarding the auto binding.

The binding must be from my not so distant past when I was exclusively on 75mm-3-pin in the backcountry.
