Re: Sbounds...leathers

Wicked wonderful powder. @ 10o couldn't believe how fast it was. Turn in a dime or run them in long C type turns. The 109's worked to perfection. With skins they went up easily and with a bit of green cruised well. Wagh! The powder! Double camber is so good. TM

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Kinda cold out there, @ 10o. 10 inches of lite powder everywhere and a foot in many places. Snow and forest had a blue tint to it and all trees and branches were a white wonder world. Total silence and nothing but the hiss of the snow and ski. Turns were easy to come by didn't need much speed to hav...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Bare ground, sometimes hardpack as a base. 6-8 inches of powder with a decent crust on top. Breaking in about two inches on the up on Little Mountain. Got to "camp" started a fire and had a good day making the dirt floor warm and the rest of the place decent. Telekid showed us how to ski crust while...

Re: Old E99 seems to have lost pop and stiffness. What should I replace them with?

Beautiful ski! Thinking a 210-215 would be good. Teleking and i had those "Air Core" when they came out and when skiing them for the first-time doing camels Hump, all four skis had a tiny crack length of the ski down the middle. Poor Teleking, I had purchased them, and he skied them once (as did I) ...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Sunday a couple of miles and a stop at TK1 (telecamp). Skiing is sketchy with potential to hit anything on the forest floor. gotta run those skis flat and initiate with almost no edging. Zowie! Today hit a main line logging road from a couple years back. Wide open, kinda like a beginner trail at a s...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Bad snow, hardpack with branches and blowdowns everywhere. Water iced over wet leaves iced over. 6-8 inches then water covered in icy leaves and so on. All whips were in their glory with so little snow. Will check out some usually decent logging roads with gaps of no snow soon. Tough times! TM

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Up in the gap where the car is parked headed North and it was good. Easy skiing on the logging road and the forest was good also. Snow is different, solid with easy ball bearings on top for easy longish turns. Forest was again quiet and the workout good. See the Doc about the knee soon and will do w...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Headed out to Dead Moose Pond and what was left of snowpack was good. Bout 6-8 inches of ball bearing easy skiing snow. Ice on the pond was worrying but safe enough yesterday. Scored a few decent long, like 20-yard turns that felt good. Just good being out there dealing with silence and easy skiing ...
