Why are these so cheap? -- because of the WL pattern?? and why is the waxless pattern variable? The pattern is variable because it is hand made as we can see in the picture.

YOU HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE (CUE WARREN MILLER VOICE HERE)

Crystal has been limiting tickets due to crowds, from a recent report I received. Buy online for the days you are going, especially if a weekend or do your research beforehand.

I don't live out there.

I used to. Had a pass at Alpental. Fun mountain!

Yes, something weird has been going on for several weeks. From the amount of Cambodian soccer betting posts I have to keep deleting I think it’s some spam farm in the Far East.

The 88s also have lots of camber. You are going to have to really compress that camber and bend the ski. Otherwise, ride it in long arcs. In this corner of the sport there are high camber skis that tour well and low camber skis that turn easy but are going to be a slog to go anywhere. The 88s are on...

Mike and Allen Telemark Tips book too. Hugely good

Epoxy would be a good choice here, especially a good quality one. The area is relatively small and underfoot, flexing isn't going to be much of an issue. If you are using marine epoxy with fillers I'd soak the core first and then after it's absorbed I'd fill it with thickened epoxy. Don't let the so...

I'm going to "third" the KOM. It's a real ski, it's fun, it's dependable, there are no gray areas.
