Re: Weather forecasts

Yup. Focused on the pics tho. It can all add up to the same thing tho, depending on wind patterns. Let me explain… Cold dry air is ideal early in the season can produce some epic snow in our region, but only if the wind pattern comes across the GL. The key is early in the season because a lot of su...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

It puts old ways of thinking into perspective. Lots of new ideas are rejected, simply because they are new. They challenge the hardwired batshit that becomes trvth in places dominated by old crusties. Nothing wrong with being old. Will happen to everyone. Thinking old, stuck in some ancient rut? No...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

Anyone using an expression associated with some company that went OUT of business in 1937 should have their age (mental and physical) questioned. The year is 2023, not 1923. Only to some tho. https://www.telemarktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=61049#p61047 why should anyone "have their age (mental and...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

Well, in the meantime, here's another recent example (posted and then removed) of manney's exemplary value where he tries to belittle lowangle al again because manney thinks he's too old: This one is a real doozie. Have you made any linked telemark turn yet Mannie? Thanks for the ever-useful content...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

No biggie for me. If you want to undercut a thread that has brought more traffic to TT in a month than most do in a few years, that’s up to you. Probably not that smart tho… might not win you favors from the mods. (Remember lowangle’s experience? How did that work out for him?) https://www.telemark...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

If you want to derail a thread, that’s on you. Maybe ppl could chime in so that, you know, everything that’s posted doesn’t suddenly disappear… or additions stop. Cause that’s what you really want, eh @connyro ? Fewer visits to TT, less content and site revenue… @admin: See previous post. Just givi...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

Well lookie here - Manney's got a thread going that's got some importance to himself. It'd be a real shame if something happened to it: say, something like it got derailed or sent off-topic. Somewhat interesting subject matter, albit not related to telemark skiing (shocking for this forum, I know). ...

Re: What boots to buy??

LOL 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 weigh...

Re: What boots to buy??

Yeah, totally. Camber is a big deal for control. Scales no big deal. Quit cherry-picking. He said camber AND scales in COMBINATION can be a problem for control, not JUST camber: The scales become a problem for turning when you are on double camber skis. The camber prevents you from having consisten...
