Re: What boots to buy??

That is most likely superficial damage to the pin holes. There's a metal plate embedded in the duckbill where the pins actually slide into when the binding is engaged. Don't let a little scuffing/deformation scare you away. Based on the pin holes shown in the photo, those look like good boots IMO

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

You haven’t done anything for military ski enthusiasts. Who started the thread? Who spent the time tracking down photos, x-refing to civilian models, posting the data? You came here to smear shit on the walls. Have you? Sure. And real military ski enthusiasts are laughing AT you @connyro. Well look...

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. Nah, not really. All the useful data is in part 1,2,3 on the first page. https://www.telemarktalk.com/viewto...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

This mofo is on a roll! You were making me sleepy for a while. Got over that earlier in the day. Went for a trail ride with a ski buddy (TT lurker). He had a theory… said your posts read like an old man on physical decline. Prolly one or two health scares down… seeing the time coming when you’re hav...

Re: Weather forecasts

Yawn. Some say 1996, 2014, 2016. My guess is that you’re on the high side of 60, so every 20 years (which is considered a “generation” btw) sounds about right… though there’s so much discrepancy in what’s online that it’s hard to nail down. Now… when does it freeze completely over in that once in a...

Re: Weather forecasts

Yeah, it’s about where the wind blows. Climatologists consider one or two degrees to be a huge seasonal variation… and it is from their perspective. Heck, half a degree or so above of below the mean is the threshold for calling El Niño or La Niña. For skier folk in this part of the country, that’s ...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

Do you think Johnny should be doing this with his own money, just for our personal benefit? Is he expected to be a monk taking a vow of poverty? This sounds rather self centered on your part, @connyro. You must think the world revolves around you… As for traffic, this thread has generated 45000 hit...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)

Here's some more gold for fans of manney. ...It’s the only way to scrub put the hardened batshit crazy old cranky man out of this place. (Emphasis on batshit crazy, cranky) Younger, keener, more capable skiers like EricH became a bit more active just after Johnny’s intervention with Al. Do you think...

Re: Weather forecasts

You’re not giving a contrasting view. You’re just saying “wrong”, hurling personal attacks… even threatening to derail a thread on purpose. That’s not dissent or disagreement. Nor is it defence. You’re just coming to start a fight. Al did the same thing. Kept it up for quite a long time. How did th...
