See, XCD. 109mm. I'm totally legal here, no chance of getting caught by the XCD police... 8-) IMG_0466.JPG There is absolutely no way I could have broken a trail all the way to the top without skins into that stuff... (or without ruining the landscape for the next day... : ) I ski with the Alaskas ...

Now lJ, The Epoch (old 10th Mountain MINUS a lot of camber as per heavy advertising) has "slightly" more camber than the Annums which are Alpine or single-cambered.. My Alpina Lite Terrains also have "slightly" more camber than the Alpina Xterrains which are also Alpine-cambered..It's not even accur...
