There was a sweet pair of Telebreezes suggested to me on the bottom of the page. Only $200 if you buy it now.....
The crazy thing is, those skis probably were ~$400 when they first came out. |

| Wolverines? Wolverines grip very firmly on hardpack. As proof, have you ever seen a wolverine sliding out of control on a groomed slope? No? I rest my case. |

Okay, it's time to really lay one on this guy. I just sent him a question:
| Quote: | | You mention they are the best telemark skis you have ever used. I'm sorry to hear about your traumatic injury that must have ended your skiing in 1996. Are you recovering well enough to snowshoe yet? |
