You will feel like a very fast bumper car pretty early on in the day.
You will find EC snow much richer in water content and it sets up really fast. Significantly higher humidity levels affect the snow. So the deep freeze around here does not bring the cold smoke you would expect unless the humidity is low, which means never. You may want to be ready to sample a new kind of cold though.
EC old snow in the temperate winter requires a ginsu knife type ski unless you plan on swishing your way around the snow instead of playing in it. Any good snow and I’m on 107/185/wood. Any questionable or old snow conditions and I’m on 93/184/metal. Refrozen anything and you should be somewhere in the 80’s (84/182/metal) and mildly detuned sharps (ginsu knife).
If your 3pinning, then a little more length won’t have as much impact.
If heel down interests you, I have an atomic system ski (ginsu knife) that will accommodate anything short of gargantuan bsl that you can play a day in.
If you’re a newschooler than disregard everything I just put out here.
I really like the length of your jacket fer sure:biggrin:
Every now and then, VT-F delivers... :yourock:Quote:

Yes, we've already heard this story, multiple times. Sorry you can't handle the fatties (at least skis). ;-)Quote:

Those pics are priceless VTF…
I think they merit VT-F a promotion to the new ECRC thread starter staus? Especially given Laser's defection to the dark side (Florida!).Quote:

rontele- if you are going to be stuck riding weekends and can't choose your pow days, the DPS will get dusty. I pulled out my Voile Chargers about 10-12 days each over the past two years, but I live in a mtn town and can ride when I want.
Consider something no wider than 95 underfoot and damp for sat/sun days.
Yep.Quote:

VT-F, you're on.... Laser, thanks for the many years of good service and fine work. Your gold watch is in the Royal Mail ;)
Last year's Prophet 90's can be found for around $350... seems like the Ronco of east coast skis.Quote:

Responded to the PMs. Sorry, I didn't see the notifications up top. Don't tele much anymore, but will likely do it out here if we are skiing hard pack conditions. Really liking Boston thus far, but still and will continue to miss Colorado.
Really? I would think the opposite. I dont tele though.Quote:

the riding right now is as good as the best skiing we get evar!
Ahh, yes, work, work, work,
beer, ale, sandwich in fresh air
preparing for snow.
Are there any passes that are good for 3+ days at areas in VT and/or NH etc. that don't black out the week after christmas? Looking to get some skiing done with my brother when I go home for the holidayz and am looking into options to keep prices down. Would like to hit SB, smuggs, jay but any advice is great as I have not tried to fare the crowds before.
Your good to go! I use to tour on 188 W105's or 190 L120's. This year picking up a pair of the re-designed W112's. Stoked. I do have a pair of 184's for the steep n narrows but use them infrequently. Just mho.Quote:

It's nice to have something narrower and damper for spring and occasional resort skiing. I'm a fan of the Blizzard Bushwacker which handles ice well and bumps well, is light enough for touring. Subtle tip and tail rocker make it very versatile. Comes in a 187 now.Quote:
