Meier Norheim Telemark Ski
I like to peruse the sales at the end of the season and came across the Meier Norheim ski, "Thoughtfully designed by telemark skiers, our telemark skis are handmade in Denver, Colorado by skiers, for skiers." They go on to cite some glowing qualities as well as some tele specific specs. I've not bee...

Re: How Do You Ski Downhill?
. I was on a brand new pair of skis, that I quite like, but it was very icy and I had trouble holding the tele stance for long enough to make a turn. What??? Brand new pair of skis, but I’m not saying what skis! Wow! That is just unethical! How is any ski purchasing addiction going to be fed by not...

Re: How Do You Ski Downhill?
Krummholz , thanks for that video. Apache is one of my favorites. Which one did you use there? That second tune is nice but I don't recognize it. I'll give this a try if I get out again this year. Our local resort closed on Sunday. Still had a lot of snow and expecting more so maybe I'll skin it. O...

Re: How Do You Ski Downhill?
Random thoughts on this: 1. Envision your stance on a low angle hill. In that position, if you were to drop a plumb line, it would probably fall about half way between your front and back feet. That would put your weight about equal, front to back. Also, it's likely that a plumb line dropped from y...

How Do You Ski Downhill?
That sounds like a ridiculous question since you can't really ski at all unless you're going down hill! I've been working hard at improving and am now doing much steeper stuff. The problem is, I can't figure out how to drop a knee when the going gets steep. My leading foot is already down hill and w...

Re: Elan Ripstick 88 vs Atomic Maverick 86c
You have lots and lots of options. I haven't skied these, but the ripstick 88 is very well loved, and I know some tele folks who are among them. Haven't heard the same buzz around the maverick. The other ski that gets a lot of love is the blizzard brahma (take your pick 82 or 88) and blizzard skis ...

Elan Ripstick 88 vs Atomic Maverick 86c
Kind of hoping to score a good deal on what I'll call a "pure piste ski" while things are on sale. I'll set it up to ski Meidjo and Transit (clearly not at the same time!) with Scarpa F1 or last-gen TXPro. I can't really say how I came down on these two skis. Just a bunch of online research. Won't b...

Tele Technique Question: what do I do with my toes!
I was out shredding pow on some 5 degree slopes the other day on Voile Objectives/Transit/F1. (Please, please, please see the sarcasm here!) On one of the 'laps' I started thinking about my toes. In the Transit/F1 I found myself bending my trailing-ski toes up so that I could better press the ball o...

Re: Length: Mountain Race 48 Skin
They say they are 3/4 steel edges. Does that mean the tips or the tail aren't edged? I was hoping it was the tips for better track performance but I realized I have no idea which it is. spopepro , Inspiredcapers , Musk Ox , it sounds like you may have some direct experience with this ski. Can you an...

Length: Mountain Race 48 Skin
Considering one of these for mostly tracks. https://www.en.asnes.com/produkt/mountain-race-48-skin/ I like the feel of a skin better than scales. No whizzing sound, or at least, less. I also like that these have 3/4 steel edges with non-edged tips, better for tracks but can also have a bit of bit ou...
