When I blew my second ACL I feared I have to give up skiing entirely. I wasn't having a surgery(that failed last time) on both knees in my 50s, though someday I may need replacements. I discovered Telemark and analysis showed it was much safer on knees. With Donjoy rigid braces on both legs I can ge...

You can't use 24 pairs of skis all the time. Realistically, probably 4-6 pairs. I'm not saying you don't need 24 pairs for all foreseeable conditions but on any given winter month, due to conditions, you'll only be using four or five. And, if they are skinny skis, you'll be mounting with 3-Pin or ma...

I saw the one you got on eBay (in the "completed" sales). Had I been aware of them I would have loved to get them, it's quite rare to find those boots still in mint conditions. If another one comes up on eBay or elsewhere I would certainly want to get my hands on them. YMMV locally but I've found t...

This is why I moved to a Truck Camper. Needed somewhere to drink and then lie down.

Anything can become a cult, even if it is only a cult of one.

I don’t know anything about the Rossi, except one former poster stopped using his when he got a T-78. So based on what I know it’s a balancing act between tu...

I'm thinking about cutting out this afternoon or tomorrow at lunch and hitting some of the snow still up the local canyon. There's actually a lot but it's getting a bit churned from snowmobiles. I'm wondering, of the skis I own (that make sense), which might be the best for a snowmobile track? I'll ...

John the WL is scaled. I got mine from Varuste on sale, ski, BC binding, X-skin, to my door for just under $400 I was at my door in less the a week for order date, economy shipping! My wife doesn't like it when Varuste boxes show up at the door. :? Which Nansens did you order? To but increase the c...

Mattafix , it may be too late but I got a new pair of Objective BC in 174cm at Skinny Skis in Jackson, WY for under $400 a month ago. It was not their only pair. They do ship. :D Sadly, my knees can’t get better. But, through a lot of time in the gym and religiously wearing my rigid, Donjoy braces ...
