Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!
I’m glad you are finding good skiing Joe. Don’t worry about us American guys, we can convert to inches in our head! Thanks! I'm definitely missing the deep consistent powder that everyone has been having out West. This has been very unique terrain, and by the time I'm done here, I will need new ski...

Re: Backcountry apprehension
Oh tele gods, unlock your wisdom. I recently moved to Vermont and picked up tele. I love it, if alpine is rock and roll, tele is jazz. This being said, I am no Miles Davis. My fear is this- I want to explore the backcountry, and I have already done some skinning (smuggs notch, Pico and Killington, ...

Re: Random thoughts from a day skiing...
Crust sucks! https://youtu.be/1PAhnO4K6gk Mom! You forgot to cut the crust off :(. So I ate it twice yeah... those ruts are horrible. I don't miss snowmachine and fat tire bike tracks. One nice thing about being in a rural place. Downside is, I have to break my own trail and find my own route.

Re: Asnes Mountain Tour 51
Nice to see that you got a pair of MT51s. They really are good. For rural areas with less than ideal grooming/maintenance or none.... these are the skis to use. I'm not sure where most of our forum members are located, but as someone who skis alot in a rural setting, I rarely ever use regular nordic...

Just another windy day in the Badlands. 150cm+ windloaded aspects of deep light sandlike snow. Hard sun and wind crusted ice on the plains.

Re: Random thoughts from a day skiing...
Alot of my time is now spent route finding and breaking trail in deep snow, gliding on breakable and hard wind crust, bushwacking and slashing through patches of dense forest as I follow game trails of small animals, stream crossings, topping out over steep high cliffs of icy snow mixed with deep b...

Re: Random thoughts from a day skiing...
My new home has so much mixed terrain that I don't think about technique anymore. I just go.

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!
it was really strange. moving slowly in the downhill direction, there were moments when I thought I had stopped but was still moving, and turning up the fall line instead of down. a couple of times I had to firmly stop and look at a tree to verify up/down and that I was stopped. I totally understan...
