Re: I had no idea you could go downhill on XC skis...video proof

I'm not looking to pick a fight, scout's honor. I occasionally ski with a group of skiers, one of whom is a woman with an ankle injury that occurred when she was a kid. She uses widesh scales skis and plastic boots. Shes not skiing anything rad, she gets out into the bc with confidence and comfort ...

Re: I'm done.

I saw the title of this thread, jumped to conclusions and got excited, but then realized that it wasn't mammey who was done on this site. Instead, it turned out to be fgd135- a respected and experienced member who's opinions and posts I truly respected. That's a big loss for this forum and a persona...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

Who started the thread? You joined it… threatened to derail it. Just pointing out two things - your inability to derail and your limited knowledge of what constitutes military skiing. Like, had you looked at the gear list and photos… So here is a sweet quote by manney where he calls different opini...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

Here's more disgusting dialog from good old mammey. Seems like a metered, reasonable response from a rational person. Notice how "truth" to this guy is whatever he says it is, and not ever an opposing opinion. He's the gift that keeps on giving in this thread. how is it that you can place your singu...

Man, you are obsessed with me. Please stop. It's weird and is making you look crazy.

Re: I had no idea you could go downhill on XC skis...video proof

...Don’t care what people ski. Don’t care where they ski. Don’t care how well they ski.... Ok, but you JUST got done saying : Heavy skiing, heavy gear? Get it. Moderate skiing, moderate gear? Get it. Light skiing, light gear? Get it. Light gear, heavy skiing? Props to that. Heavy gear, light skiing...

Re: I had no idea you could go downhill on XC skis...video proof

Happy to hear it, John. It’s always been about matching systems to conditions. Bunny boots and strap bindings in the Arctic/Antarctic, plastic boots in alpine, real flexible on the flats, and something in between in the middle ground. Ski companies love rad. They love selling maur power. LOL. Even ...

Re: What boots to buy??

You can judge the character of a man by how he spends your money, drinks your whiskey. Conny is willing to bet your money to prove me wrong. Don’t care whether anyone is right or wrong. Wouldn’t buy these boots myself based on the pics. Good conscience compels me to urge caution. Provided another p...

Re: What boots to buy??

“Many days in the snow”. Ha ha. Yep. That sounds like an expedition-level endorsement to me. It sounds like you’re ready to back up your advice with a $60 money back guarantee for @mca80. That’s appropriate given the strength of your convictions on this one @connyro. If the clamps are misapplied, a...

Re: What boots to buy??

The Asolo Extremes, Snowfeilds, and the Snowpines all have metal in the center of the duckbill which holds the pins securely. The rubber of the sole of the boot can be chewed up quite a bit without comprising the interface with the binding. Superficial damage can be covered with smiley plates but do...
