Telemark skiing is dead.

Really great conditions for mid-Atlantic tele skiing today

Adding a quiver to the stoke. Just got a pair of mint unopened Superloops… searching for some Merrell Maxx/Super Comps for a glade skiing setup. Anyone is around Truckee and want to get some laps hit me up!

I can't count how many pairs of stupidloops I broke. Russell got sick of me calling him.

**Danno** · 12-11-2021, 04:16 PM

I skied then for years and never broke them.

G3 is the only one I've ever trashed

What Voile are you on? I’m looking for a nice all around meadow skipping fish scale ski.

Thats what I use them for. V6 BC with 3 pin cable. The recommended mount point on the 183cm seems to be too far forward which has come up in some other threads here. Worth some attention if you get that size.

Any chance that's Wintergreen?

Thanks, any experience with the Vector and pins?

Remember the welded toe-bar? Before they started using rivets?

That just tells us that you never skied the O2.

My dad has tts Vector BC which is an incredible rolling terrain cruiser. Would love to see more modern midfat scaled skis.

Tele exclusive quiver (might get a snowboard though). Got a friend with the same boot size as me stoked on tele today.

Nope, but that ski w/ a 3 pin binding was my original intention. I wanted the white military vectors, but those and the regular vector bc were out of stock in the length I wanted so I just went with V6's.

Skied the BD touring model, was that the O1 or 02?, for a few years.

**frorider** · 12-12-2021, 10:41 AM

Man I was so stoked when the first super loops came out. Sure I destroyed them but it launched a fun engineering dialog / friendship with Russell and beta testing the protos in the ensuing years. Later models were pretty bomber if you didn’t move the pivots all the way back.

Reminds me, I have a big box of super loops and various spare parts if any tahoe peeps want a free binding for a waxless bc ski…

**mtstpipier** · 12-12-2021, 10:44 AM

Thanks for the feedback on the Woodsman, and sweet boards! I have the Wren 108 with Outlaws but found them too directional. May put alpine bindings on them and let my son have them as he is a charger. I was debating getting Woodsman 102 as a DD (Big Sky) but hadn't heard tele specific feedback so I ordered the DW 104. Still have Steeples and BGs in the ON3P stable though.

Strange ..... I'm sensing a shift in the Force.
The free-heelers are on the move.

Ha, it was a pretty rough opener... passing showers and 50* temps. Thankfully, their snowmaking is pretty good. Off to Crested Butte this week and having a crisis about which sticks to bring.
