Sooo slapped the skis down into the 1-2 inches of powder on grass...Snow on the pins but clicked them in...Was a bit unstable but got it together for a "backyard fun run...Got back and wondered.....looked down and...yes ...I had the skis on the wrong foot...DUH.......TM

4th day of riding 4-5 inch powder base...ER....that is the base...Very low angle logging road which goes gently uphill for several miles.....Can get a couple of nice long stand up tele arcs but the goal is to maintain any kind of speed...The woods are a hazard zone with serious consequences if not prepared....Still to be out in Nature sure beats writing about it!!!!..TM

Still cruising up in the Highlands....Teleking and Telewheels and I were out and about yesterday in rhyme coating with an inch of powder around it on every twig and branch making for an out of this world vision....Here and there mostly 4-5 inches....but here and there 6-7 in divots....pretty fast snow but seeing beyond 10 - 15 feet took a bit of focus....On the logging road pretty easy skiing and fast....Man those 109's really took off....made for an easy ride out...."Just like the old days says Telewheels.....cause we got twisted and did a great mile long circle....even though the boys had phones that were supposed to make it easier....Chuckle.....Time to head off for another laid back....let the skis run.....on a new wax job....Oh yeah!...TM
