I’m sorry you’re hurting Harvey. Take it easy. Drink lots of water. Rub in some T-Relief Arnica +12. Find yourself a hot tub. Eat a gummy. What ADK Johnny said.

SkiEssentials has them with free base treatment and shipping. I would ask if they can throw in the mount.

Just found this gem in an old shoebox at my mom’s.

116? For the 112 I think you would need the Magnums. Xplores are a different boot and binding combo. Where are you ordering these from and who is mounting them? I try to use Outdoor Gear Exchange in VT. They will answer any questions, mount for free and will ship.

I don’t think it’s worth it. Those bindings are like $80 and that’s a solid setup to leave intact. If anything, I like to have an extra set kicking around to torture friends who don’t have one. If going to a wider ski, ideally you would want at least the Magnums since they have a wider mount...

Something very hard to turn 😂 Looks like a nice turn key setup. I think with those, when running them downhill, you’d be snow plowing for speed control and relying on a nordic step turn instead of trying to make an alpine turn. Those puppies look looooong. What’s the length on those? They have...

I think proper sizing is often overlooked especially by those coming from the realm of alpine where there is a greater tolerance in performance that can be overcome by technique. XCD skis are essentially beefy nordic skis with traditional camber. When activated correctly the scales in the kick...

For general XCD information and equipment choices, for our region, I’ve found this video by the Catamount Trail Association to be most helpful.

The Alaskas have a waterproof / breathable membrane that work very well. I’ve never had my feet get wet from the outside or the inside for that matter. I use a gaitor when the snow is super deep. I haven’t treated them yet but plan on doing it for this season. I think the two best options are...

My left foot is 9.5 and my right foot is 9. The guy at the ski shop said it’s actually quite common for people to have different size feet but I wonder if he was just trying to help me not feel like a freak. I was wondering why I developed blisters on my right heel when running all these years...

What is your foot size?

Not the 112s but I’ve been on the 98s and really liked them. The dimensions of the 112s are nearly identical with my Madshus Annums which are my go to pasture and shwacker skis. I would not put AT bindings on them. I think NNNBC is the way to go if those are your two choices. Get the manual...

Friggin awesome. 🍻

This is wonderful! Free access with a bonus ride. Magic has had this going on for years, including a beer. For anyone who says skiing is expensive and exclusive, you now have no excuse. Kick it and Rip it.

Kids these days… Glad we didn’t have Insta360s and the gram back in the day.

The NYS map shows dry for the Taconic Crest. The Mass drought map shows abnormally dry for northern Berkshire County which includes Hancock and Jiminy Peak.
