    Karhu Outbound?

    Anybody Know anything about these skis? Don't know anything about them other then they are older and really a soft snow touring ski.
    Can buy them with crappy rotafella bindings for 40 dollars and I highly doubt they have been skied at all.

    "Outbound" or "Outtabounds"?

    For $40, do it. They'd be cool for fucking around in the low-angle woods, when you're bored and want some fitness, or when the snow is low.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    I still have a pair in the garage with the fish scales, and never use them. Fisher has a similar ski that actually has a sidecut that works OK for low angle spring tele with the dog. But, for $40, why not?

    Lots of folks with many pairs of these hanging around there garages that would probably have more insight than most at this place.

    Still, for $40 bucks I'm in the just do it camp. That's less than a fancy dinner.

    I had Outbounds for my first tele ski. They're 90-70-80, and a decent light touring ski. It's been so many years since I skied them, I honestly can't remember anything distinctive about them.

    No because I didn't want to register.

    I guess law school will do that to you
