A bit late in posting this but Telemark Dave and I had a nice ski at the Limberlost Forest last week. All pics by TD. In TD language: "Running down a dream of more snow than there was...

Such a great opening line.

The 88 would likely be a great ski for the Xplore setup. I tried a retractable leash (Flexi brand) early on but it was a big tangle problem in thicker forest. With the rope, I can just let her go and pick up the other end as it goes by. Or yell. "hey Dave, catch the dog!"

Vagabond BC 97. He has a love/hate relationship with those skis. They are quite stiff overall, especially in the tip, so tend to dive downwards in deep snow when skied with stiffer boots and active tele bindings that create more tip pressure. He says they are great for a firm base with a bit of...

Telemark Dave (remember him? He says hello and misses you folks), Moira the dog and I visited the Limberlost Forest for a ski this morning. We've had a little more snow, so it was worth having a look. In the end, we opted for a good old-fashioned ski tour, as the glades were still a little...

Not sure what happened there.

The customary briefing. Olive the dog recognizes that it is better to beg forgiveness than ask permission (we try to have a no-dog policy at events to cut down on potential mayhem). The t-bar line was skied. I asked if anyone managed to get at least three linked turns. There was a lot of...

Ya, its been weird. Snow, thaw, freeze, etc. repeat. Our WWHSTA group had some somewhat decent conditions fro an outing last weekend: I don't know about you, but most of my backcountry ski days begin in the grocery store parking lot. The SKia is ready to go. Our fearless leader shows off...

You are an inspiration, Mr. Warp.

Happy birthday from your Hinterlandian friends. Send some snow up north!

Crazy. We were even discussing this topic at the dog park in the Hinterlands.

That is a nice day.

I finally went for a tour in the back 40 today. The quality is lovely and fast but it is still low tide for tree skiing up here. Skis ready: Dog ready: Am I ready? Nice snow but still low tide. My pole basket is bottomed out. The dog poached my line at Secret Hill. But I managed...

Chargers on!

I'm trying a new angle! :cool:

The chair is crooked? Relative to what?

Karhu Guides? Maybe replace with Voile UltraVectrorBC? $$$

Truly. That iron belonged to my grandmother and I've been using it to wax skis since I was a teenager. It's quite heavy, so moves well on the ski. Heat management is by watching for smoke, then unplugging it. Holds heat for a long time. I did update the plug a few years ago, though the cord is...

I've been doing the same technique as you describe but thought maybe the 10 year old bases could use some extra love this year.

Pic from this morning, we received about 10 cm (call it six inches) more during the day. Didn't ski as I was too busy inventing new ways to get wax off skis (see Charger Love thread):
