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 ...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Our Northern Hardwood Forest is or can be incredible. Been cut off many times but now and then we score some "Old Growth" and there isn't anything but a tiny bit left. Will never forget the beauty of giant Hardwoods and skiing in them was close to as good as one can get. Gone now but not forgotten. ...

Re: Sbounds...leathers

Great pre-Christmas powder in the forest. Been some of the best early season skiing in memory. As of now woods have some base and fields down to grass. Will make do and love every minute of it. TM
