I know from an article that SB does not present
the Glittertind/SNS setup as being any fun or all
that appropriate at a ski resort or under really heavy and/or
deep snow..
A quote..Seriously, if he says to not bother skiing the setup at a resort,
I gotta wonder..I mean it can't handle blue or even green hardpack ?
Here's a quote from the summary:
"Loss
Speed capability is low. This is relative, of course.
Both deep powder and deep glop are slower and more difficult.
Forget the ski area.
More difficult in cut up snow, multiply layered snow, or unconsolidated snow with a negative density profile. With a fatter ski you might be flying higher in an easier layer. Less pleasant in frozen rough snow.
Be prepared to telemark almost everything. Parallel is only rarely the turn of choice."
Here's the link to the full article..

I'll stick with Lite Terrians , 3pc and T4's or a stout leather..maybe Excursions..
but my XCd is mostly about rambling around looking for some turns..lower-angle trees and meadows..
Steep farm hills and logging roads..
I know a lot of folks on pins who use the low risers..no real issue..At the resort I would prefer to get
them up out of the snow a bit..I use 20 and 30 mm risers..But I have seen some folks ski all over the resorts
3p or 3pc on low risers without any big problems..
