Telemark skiing is dead.

I never understood why voile stopped selling shovels.

Ummm, they didn’t. Maybe I’m missing something from the past here... 🤔

I was going to guess it was because no one ever needed to replace their indestructible Voile shovel. [emoji6]

If those were Vector BCs I would take them in a heartbeat.

i've got those old vector BC prototypes with a switchback X2 binding on them if you're 75mm and lookin. i don't really take them out anymore (pretty much NTN only at this time) and just been keeping them around in case someday i get another dog who loves powderhounding.

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?

[jhyatt]

Are regular liners good to go inside Telemark shells?
I have some shells with packed out liners.
Tx comp if it matters.
Ntn no tech fitting

Holy shit. My bad. I swore I looked last year and couldn’t find them on their website. Glad they’re still selling them.

I'm fully NTN these days but if you were willing to part with skis only, let me know. I'm sure I can rustle up some bindings.

What do you mean by "regular"? Generally speaking, I'd say yes, but do you have something specific in mind?

[MakersTeleMark]

I have always ran powerwraps in my shells. Never crossed my mind regarding a tele specific liner.

Well there goes my hope for the great Voile shovel controversy of some past timeframe, dang it.

[3PinGrin]

Agree with PB and MakersTeleMark on liners, I’ve use a variety of intuition liner types with no issues.

Problem is they have another mount which I’ve not determined. If you want me to ascertain lemme know. Otherwise I’ll just keep these future dog duty

Just a reminder that the original Rotte Freeride mounting plate used the 4 hole tele mount so any Freeride should be able to reuse your mount.

While I don't know how old my Tx Pros are (8 years maybe), I would buy a new pair of similar boots or OG Tx style that shaved .75 lb per foot. Will this boot be the cat's meow? It doesn't sound like it, but won't they keep making the Comps, at least until that also gets updated?

Thanks and answers my question

[3PinGrin]

I got so tired of chasing the BC tele unicorn that never showed up. I’ve been very happy with my Maestraeles and Solomon MTNs the last few years. I’m a shame to my handle!

But don’t worry ma, I still only free-heel at the lift and get out in leathers on my Kazamas and Voile CRBs for mellow terrain days.

I use the intuition "alpine" liner in my TX Pros. GTG

Up to you, but 2 mounts don't necessarily scare me, unless it should.

Thanks. But I wouldn't want to put Freerides on a BC ski.

Yee ha.

I used to do experiments on shovel sales. It eventually led to me almost exclusively stocking and selling t6 blades.

Back to the FHL/voile thing, does FHL discuss sales, preorder incentives, payment terms, or any of that kinda stuff? Reading about how FHL is not carrying some other brands that they used to carry, it made me wonder.
