It may not be Hinterland deep but it looks like some high quality fluff you got there.

I still get bit confused when you Americans talk Fahrenheit. All good as I was taught all that in science class. I do know that at -40 it's the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Been out working in that kind of cold and it's "layer city" as you might imagine.

Here we go, first foray into the woods. Junkboard skis with no edges, deer-obsessed not-ready-for-off-leash dawg in a skijoring harness, Flexi leash clipped to my pack's waist belt, what could possibly go wrong?
We made it to Secret Hill! No turns were made due to the sketchiness of the dog setup but the snow is good.

Yes, that is Moira, we have had her since June. She is a rescue from northern Ontario and quite happy to be here.
Junkboards are DIY rock/tele skis made out of old snowboards. In this case, I found a Burton Jossi Okansen 159 pro model in the dumpster at work, mysteriously missing its edges. After seeing a video on telemark junkboarding, I decided to go for it. I traced out the sidecut, ripped it up the middle on a bandsaw, sealed the exposed wood with West System epoxy and bolted on some Super Telemark binders I had lying around with stainless steel T-nuts. All in, cost me about $6. Wax for grip with nordic wax and use old school leather tele boots. Woo hoo!
