Turn out was around 80 people I'd guess. Or maybe that was my hallucination

For any tele-wankers like myself, there's a Tele Colo film tour happening right now and the Oregon shows are tonight (Bend) and tomorrow (PDX). Tickets are free for both....

Todd Ridge had perfectly adequate coverage in the glades this weekend. Trees still need a few more storms to be fully skiable.
In addition, the new Scarpa TX Pros are everything I wanted in a tele...

I've got friends with two moon bikes. The approaches to a lot of the backcountry areas in Central Oregon are exactly what you describe. We chewed through a full battery towing one about 6 miles with...

Where are you seeing this? I just picked up my 27.0s from the shop yesterday and the fit is the same as the previous model. Also mirrors my 26.5 AT boots.

If you're talking NTN, 26.5 and up go with the large bindings. Same as the prior generation of TX Pros/Comps

Also, for those with inserted skis for 22 Designs the Bandit puts pin line/tech toes line 1.3 cm forward of the Outlaws. Just something to be aware of, but it's largely why I am not going to be...

New boots have been starting to hit the stores. If you intend to get in them this season, and didn't pre-order I'd work on sourcing. At my "local" tele shop every boot they got in was spoken for by...

Bump for lowered price

ON3P Jeffrey 110, 191 cm with 50/50 Layup (Kartel 106 (IV) topsheet, Mango Sunrise Bases) - $325, $250 if kept tele *PENDING*
I'm the second owner of these behemoths and they're a bit too much ski...

I've had one on my Trail Pistol for about a year now. They seem to be a little more finicky than the GX cassette that I replaced with tuning the shifting. Also, make sure to use a threadlocker...

Finally skiied middle sister this past weekend. Boots and skins on around where the climbers trail breaks off from green lakes. Some trail crew came through in the last year and cleared...

I can attest to South Fork being worth it, bring bug spray though. Second that Tiddlywinks is getting some major work done, but Tyler's Traverse is fun and Funner is good. Royal Flush is a good time...

Not exactly his fault that Carlos Rodriguez decided to lose grip and eat pavement right in front of him. Sepp almost rode out of it too! Dark horse for Visma might be Matteo as well. Dude put in work...

Also to add, will UAE have infighting with 4 GC leaders (Pogi, Almeida, Ayuso, Yates), not to mention Sivakov and Soler?
Can Jasper Philipsen continue his stranglehold on the sprints in the TDF?...

I'm planning on going up Middle sister on Sunday and can try and get some pictures if you want?

Rab has a new line of bike clothing that has longer pants (Cinder Kinetic). Of course the 34" inseam is the men's version, but at least it's a bike friendly cut

Duckbutt rider but I've been using a TX-Pro/Maestrale hybrid in order to cobble together something I'd consider acceptable walk mode. Lynx/OutlawX for the quiver with inserts so I'll probably snag a...

I also pre-ordered at the closest tele shop to where I live. There's some genuine concern about supply of boots for next year. It's a guessing game on how big the wave of new orders will be for the...

Through circumstance I'll also be in the Big Sky area 2/29-3/3 with a few days on either end to explore around Indy/Ikon resorts. Excited to be catching up with my college roommates, lack of snow be...

To close the loop, I found a pair of Wayback 88s on the tele gear exchange on facebook with Freerides. I'll be pulling those off and mounting 22D inserts for Lynx. Pretty happy with that overall....

Not sure an XCD ski like that would handle the kind of skiing I'm envisioning for this setup. My XC(D) setup is a pair of Fischer S-Bound 98s with a voile cable binding and some cheap leathers. I...

What's the lightest ski you'd mount an NTN binding ala Lynx or TTS on? I want something that will keep me in the remotely the same ballpark as friends in two buckle boots when volcano season rolls...

I also have a pair of Deathwishes in a 190 mounted with outlaws. Probably the favorite tele ski in my quiver. They just work. I've been meaning to swap the lynx over to the ski just to try it out...

Had already planned on a crack of noon start and the ice at bachelor didn't sound appealing. Champagne powder on Pilot Butte. Thankful for ON3P bases though

That looks like an old report

Those S7s are worth it for the price of the lynx

@TeleBeaver, I'll take em out this weekend now that Oregon is finally getting snow again. They should be able to rack up some vert over the next week. My current hypothesis is that the reason they...

@ASmileyFace there's a pair of Steeple 112s 184s on marketplace in Bend with Dynafits for $350

To say I've been influenced by the lot of you is an understatement... I'm probably 75% or more tele these days and the quiver reflects that. I also went with a policy of going for smaller ski brands...

I've used MottN's 3D printed jig, and worked with him on getting a 22D mount pattern for the jig (he did all the work, I just cleared up misconceptions). Can verify that it works after mounting 7...

I'll second Tap's assertion. Apologies for the lack of conditions. The BC90s ate it up and were raring to go for a second lap.

Nuts to butts on the skin track up the butte that nobody cares that you hiked this morning

Lame of them to close off uphill access until then though

I maintain I got better tele specific help last year from skimo co than FHL when my maestrale/TX pro combo lost a bolt. Why can't everyone get along?

Ordered and stoked!

Preparing my credit card for those new tele boots. Gotta buy it if you want more in the future. 62 degrees is all I need to justify it. Would love to get your perspective Laps

Do you have access to a 3D printer? The MottN printed jigs are pretty good, and might be a chance to work some other skills in (the actual printing part).

New to the nordic scene, how do I wax fishscales? Got an XCD setup (Fischer S-Bound 98s) and want to be sure they can glide. Do I do just the flat parts or just not wax at all?

I've been very pleasantly surprised on Indy pass visits to find locals who just want to share their mountain. Definitely not the vibe I've gotten everywhere I've visited on the Ikon pass

Can confirm DW112 with outlaws is funnnnnn

That was my read as well, the buyer is just worried about a potential future delam. Glad to know I'm on the right track.

Apologies for bumping this thread, seemed the most relevant to me. I'm trying to sell a pair of skis and a potential buyer is worried about delam with these scratches at the tip. Just epoxy and let...

Thanks MottN for doing the work on getting a 22 Designs mounting template. Will hopefully validate that and the G3 in the next week or so.

Or just yelling F*** at everything that doesn't go their way. Was a real highlight for me in the Netflix series.

I mean, he becomes the Roglic role for TJV-Amazon in the grand tours. Number one option for any GC that Jonas isn't at, the undisputed leader for the hilly classics, and a potential weapon for a long...

I'm here for it. Well the Roglic leaving, not Quickstep/TJV merging. I don't want cycling to be a two horse race between UAE and TJV and the merger is dangerously threatening that. Hopefully next...

Pmed

Sent along. Was a fun tour this year, with some of the best racing being after the GC had been decided. I'll be back next year

I'm in again for the fantasy league. Tragic news about Mader. Hard to balance the excitement for the tour with the obvious sadness for the crash.
