My good old friend TeleRamon in the city earlier this week... Oh he could get caught by the fashion brigade, but he's way too fast on his rossis... 8-)

Yes, Spring !!!BTW, had to take out my new T2ecos to see how they would
do with a fatter (Mantra) ski..They are so lite, but enough boot for
100mm underfoot! Great fun with the skinnier (82mm) Backups too!

My friend... I hate to be a downer, but this ain't no spring skiing if you still have your coat on...! 8-)

So you like the new T2e's? What did you have before?

Well, at 49 there's a quick 2k of vert so conditions vary a lot from top to bottom esp.
after noon or so..and besides , the coat came off!! and besides, if there's some "mid-point"
then we ski to that when snow goes to glop at the lodges.. and besides, who gives a fk? :lol: :lol:
and beside I have a terrible collection of boots, but I was generally skiing SynerG's (and Excursions
and T-4's for "lite lite")) at the resort, but then I switched to T-race this year and about ruined my ruined fkin' knee! Damn I love those boots tho..

I'd love to get a newer pair of T-Race and go back to nordic norm... (Yours are too big for me!) I once had a pair of the first model and I hated them... They were as soft as my Alico leathers...

Since there's no such thing as the perfect boot, we all need a big collection of them. Just like skis & bindings... 8-)

Holy crap, I just got tagged this morning on FB... Somebody took a rad pic of me yesterday without my knowledge...!!!

Spring skiing? Like this? (Unfortunately on alpine gear because a stupid cow stomped on my foot making tele very painful)
