You have the patience of a fart in a hot skillet, grasshopper. Nice jacket, free bump.

I wish they came in smaller volumes. Any experience with the dromlite versions? That one comes in a 2L.

No doubt! Except it should be more general, such as items used while skiing for something other than their intended purpose, ha.

That’s why I brought up the Invictus 95, much softer but still really fun on soft groomers and shallow side snow. Nothing like the ti version. But...

I got tired of bladder hose/mouthpiece freezing issues so switched to the Osprey soft flasks a few years ago. They have been great. Easy to stash in...

And on sale with awesome graphic this year IMO. https://www.praxisskis.com/skis/rx/

Actually, you can order directly from Wary as well. https://shopwary.com/products/wary-mtn-ski-patrol-vest

Nothing against the well loved Coomback, but burly construction… Isn’t it a lightweight wood/fiberglass cap touring ski?

Well, that’s what happens when you get old I guess, lol.

Longshot, but there used to be a single ski thread somewhere on the forums.

Yes, need to cover the patrol crosses for sure. I was thinking patches, hadn’t thought of dye. I like that the sides are mesh to aid in heat...

I’ve heard very good things about the ripsticks as an all around tele ski.

The Bonafide doesn’t seem overly stiff to me, but they were used when I got them so maybe not as stiff as new. if you could find a used Kabookie it’s...

Hmmm, Bonafide is stupid easy to ski IMO.

Used Blizzard Brahma or Bonafide would probably fit the bill and can often be found for reasonable prices. I had the non-metal Invictus 95. Super fun...

Direct contact with an iron seems like a very bad idea.

Well maybe there is hope, us telemarkers tend to over analyze and worry excessively. The emotional nuances of a dying species I suppose, ha.

Ordered this earlier for backside turns this year based on recommendations from others on TGR. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164963902499
