Thanks for a kind reception here guys. It's going to be a good winter. MikeK, here to your wife's quick recovery too.

Cima, are you coming here from Japan, really?? Yet another place I'd love to visit.

Why don't you come back?
Outtabounds (S-bound 88)/SNS is my favorite set for skiing on powder.

CIMA, I just remembered why I really decided to go away from click in bindings like NNNBC. I was running into them freezing up in the wilderness on very cold days. If I ever stepped out of them, I had a hard time getting back in. I had much less of that with 3 Pin. Just remembered this.

NNN bindings seem to have a tendency of freezing.
As for SNS manual, I haven't heard of the same reports, yet.

By the way, are you in Japan now? Would love to visit your country someday. I watched the YouTube video of Tamaki Sports and I love that ski shop. Have you ever been to that shop?

Wife is doing great so far, thanks Paul.

She's a bit jealous I've skied twice already. I told her she's not missing much and the best skiing will come as soon as she's fully recovered.

I have a couple weeks off during xmas/new years. I'm hoping we get a shit ton of snow so I can bum around the park!

Here's a good early winter tour somewhat near Piseco. It's a road that is not plowed off of Rt8, 6 miles west of the Rt8/Rt10 Intersection. It's in the lake effect band area so always has snow. It's called G-Lake. It's only a 6 mile tour if G-lake at the end is not frozen. A nice ski for those coming from the west.

I know G Lake Rd.

Has a couple hills too, at least at the beginning.

Hey Paul,

You ever ski out at the end of Mountain Home Rd (previous post got me thinking)?

I know they don't plow after it turns to state land but I couldn't figure out anywhere I could park out there. There are signs everywhere saying no parking and that's it's watched by camera.

Yes, I live in Japan.
I haven't been to Tamaki Sports yet, but I'm using other shops which carry similar variety of XCD gear.

I hiked out of there a few years ago, but the parking is different in the summer time. Sorry, I don't have any info on winter use of that area.
