Mike, when I signed up here it wasn't my intention to pretend to be someone else or to troll Ron but he makes it so easy sometimes to get him all riled up. What started as innocuous comments on technique snowballed out of control. I remember countless examples of this at Ttips where I was involved o...

No way. Find him a Tx boot.

Everything I said in the pm was true Ron, but Jesus, can't you be a bit more humble and self aware? Just because I successfully trolled you doesn't mean that anything these folks are complaining about is without basis.

I still don't care if you are banned and I would vote that you aren't banned.

Do you have a used ski shop around? Find a ski that is 75-85 underfoot and with a low twenties to high teens turn radius and doesn't have a bindging plate on it, you're good to go.

"Dong" , My mom and step-dad lived in Pomeroy for many years. I logged there on both private and FS ground. I XCD skied and snowmobiled on the breaks of the mountains.I fished in the rivers and streams .I worked out of Dayton just a couple of miles from Bluewood. I have friends in the region who sk...

Pat, I think NTN is great for all types of skiing, I don't know about jibbing and jumping. I think the Freedom skis better than the Freeride and I think the Freedom may eventually supplant the Freeride in Rottefella's NTN line. The boots are the most comfortable tele boots I've tried. If you're used...

If I remember right they are 85-65-75 and stiff as planks. I had some 205s that were a handful telemarking with leathers back then, I gave them to a friend when I got my Montets and he put downhill bindings on them and loved them.

They might be fun with HHs and plastic boots.

I'm not these people you keep claiming I am Ron. Bluewood has been nice and the coverage is good. It's a short 40 minutes from Pomeroy. I will be here until the first week in March and then it's a few weeks road trip before heading back to CA. Next weekend I will be in Wenatchee for my friends' daug...

What length are the Black Widows? Horrible tele ski, great alpine ski for the time.

The conditions at Bluewood are quite nice right now actually. It's sunny and warm and the snow is getting soft, today was quite nice. The base isn't that much less than Lookout, the coverage is good. Maybe on return from your road trip we can hook up!
