Isn't a ski without any traction pattern easier to control downhill than one with? Maybe waxing for grip isn't ideal for your conditions, though. Might affect speed a tiny bit. A few % maybe, depending on snow conditions. Control? Not enough to affect edging, carving. No impact on general weighting...

Pretty excited about these skis. I'm planning on picking up a pair of the BC (scaled) version for the gf to replace her Rossi bc125s that completely delaminated at the tips and tails. Its cool though, she hated those skis for everything except the dh. Every single pair of Rossi's that I've owned or ...

Another great post TG. I haven't come across any other posts like this one in the bazillion years I've been looking at internet telemark skiing. When I learned tele turns, one of the last things I would have wanted was to document and share it. You have more brave than I do. This post is educational...

The good ppl of OK, NM, and KS would disagree. Prolly been a long time since school… and 48 is a big number. Lots to remember. LOL Snort. we were discussing weather in the UP. I said: we call them "Colorado lows" in the UP and you predictably went off topic. Try to stay with me if you want to argue...

Colorado and Texas are in different directions from the UP. Not the same. The shit the hits the lakes from the east come from the coast. Some ppl think that’s lake effect. Not the same. Straight up wrong and wrong, Guy. Give it up. Your bs is easy to see through. You are quickly losing entertainmen...

Not hard at all… just resist the urge to tell ppl what to do. Give them the info. Adults can make up their mind. Oh, here’s the link https://www.telemarktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5695&start=90#p60284 Lots of swings in the UP. Always have been. Likely always will be… lake effect, tails of nor eas...

That's how discussion forums work: someone asks a question seeking advice, other members offer advice, original person reads various posts, draws their own conclusions or asks followup questions. What ...
