Skis also sold

The trails were all groomed up to Bryant Camp including tracks. Everything past that was broken-out skin track. Not sure if they groomed was because it was a weekend or because Bryant camp was occupied. I was honestly surprised that the Bryant trail was groomed once it branched off of World Cup...

Haha. Formative years in pork roll territory but now in Midtown Manhattan. I am planning on doing a trip up to vt next week so could “deliver” if plans align.

Skis still available, bindings gone

I had made that mistake before and this time thought I’d be clever and use non-scaled skis. Still no dice. Hilariously this may be one of the few situations on the east coast where I’d need 110+ skis to get enough glide!

Holy Jebus, FKT of 5 hours... with Marcy, Wright, and full Van Ho included.

Can’t get lost unless you fall over the guard rail! Did this tour on a snowy windy day since the sketchiest part is driving there on slippery snowy roads. Good news came in the form of a fresh 6 inches overnight. First car at the trailhead and broke trail on the up. Nice and quiet all around...

Slightly outside NY Ski bounds, but you can technically see the Adirondacks from the peak so it still counts? Continuing tours based off of Best Backcountry Skiing, this one’s a partial within Bolton resort. Pretty amazing how quiet the uphill tracks are even when right next to a resort with...

Made a resolution start working my way through David Goodman’s excellent Best Backcountry Skiing in the Northeast book. Most of the tours in the book are spread out, but the High Peaks offers an opportunity to combine tours since several start at the Adirondak Loj. The Wright Peak tour is ~7...

Update: Skis are pending, bindings have been claimed

Got these to learn the turn. Recently lucked into some NTN gear so time to pass on to the next aspiring telemarker. 1. $50 - Black Diamond Machine 166 w/ BD02 bindings - Ski specs 120-79-106. Bindings size small w/ midstiff cartridges. I squeezed my 27.5 T4's in but that was probably pushing...

Whoa! Will definitely be putting them to good use. Thank you!

Looks great. The plan’s to use them with some older soft skis to practice telemark turns in bounds. Figure having some form of release would be better than not when messing around. I’ll shoot you a PM for shipping.

Sounds like that means it would the Power XR model? About how old are they? Any idea how the mount pattern compares to the standard four hole voile setup?

Howdy! PM’ed about the 7tm bindings. Are they still available? Any pics?
