Re: Sbounds...leathers

Sunday was full of slow and cold powder. Had to hit anything steep or the skis wouldn't respond. Broke a mile out on a gentle logging road then broke into the Hardwoods and shot a few slow short steeps. Headed out and the up trail was good. Drove over to Boots place where Telekid, Teleking,and Telew...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Will tell everybody again! Tucks, great snow! Place was jumping. Boarders showed up in UNIFORM! One was a good-looking female. They boarded down the right side, gully? Told the boys, "Ok show time!" Did screaming long high speed arcs and the show was rooster tail exploding. Wicked snow or I would ha...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Thanks, Fisheater!. When you visit Vermont let me know. Will travel a bit to get them. lately we have had tough conditions and some longer 99's would be a good thing, I think. Have gotten enough to get some turns today but the howling winds have kept me at home. Will hit it tomorrow. used 210's at T...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Had not used my Boundless for over a decade. last I saw Telekid was boss on them out West while visiting North Idaho and Ron Cole. Can't say i liked them then and found out yesterday why. Slow on the up, slow cruising and not all that good in these conditions. So, the old 109's' Boundless did not he...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Telesven, Rastatele, and Jen are making our Sugar House wonderful. Two boys keep things happening like lots of Maple Syrup and Jen with All the food anybody could hope for. She and Deborah keep bringing food and we keep on eating between taking off syrup. Tough skiing up in the Highlands with hardpa...

Re: Questions for telemark athletes

Was skiing on some cross-country skis up in Vermont's Hardwoods, one of the last vestiges of Old Growth. kamikaze is the appropriate word for what we did. Try to do a parallel in deep powder, better to just bomb! 1980 and then a skier from Stowe joined us and he did a sorta Telemark and both Telekin...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Two boils and we have @ 15 gallons. Rastatelee and Telesven do a great job. Me. I give advice and fire the rig now and then. In other words, they put up with me. Last night our women were in the horse barn turned into a sugar shack and did they ever bring in some wickedly decent food. Lucky Boys! TM

Re: Sbounds...leathers

It gets better Fisheater. Putting down the road from the hills I got some feeling something wasn't right. Finally looked up my windshield and couldn't see any skis. Pulled over and my ski rack was wobbling all around in the wind sans skis. Bummer!. Not the first time! One ski was wedged somehow hori...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Wicked powder up in the Highlands with more powder than my feeble brain could imagine. Got to my retirement telemark zone and had some of the best powder skiing of the season. Both Teleking and Telekid raved about it and it was good. My little zone has sharp or rounded short shots with runouts ..Doo...
