Years of concerted effort by the ski industry and still the pinheads refuse to give it up. So I think we can safely say... tele is here as long as the snow is....

Hey ex T-Tips folks, anybody else remember these? I just realized I might have the only one still in use. Made me smile.

Not the only one. And I know TG still has hers because she posted it on FB a month ago.

The Telesafari was one of the best things to come out of TTips, and I cherish these two mugs.

KS was one of my favorite posters on TTips.
Dig the color of your mug, Andy!
Back to ntn. I’m finally purchasing ntn boots. I’m feeling biased toward tx-comps instead of tx-pro. I really like stiffer boots for the down, but I’m capable of skiing challenging/fun resort conditions in very lightweight gear. I want to experience more downhill power.
To start my transition, I have rotte clamps and a pair of groomer zoomers to accept the clamps, thanks to PB(!!). I’ll mostly be zooming corduroy and working (on groomers) on this set up. For now, I’ll still be using my garmont eneg’s for other skiing (for now). I’m figuring that I’ll hold out for a few seasons after their release before buying that unicorn boot that scarpa keeps hinting about, so I don’t see myself gravitating towards tele pin bindings until that boot is out.
Does that make sense? Am I missing something. Tele coworkers that have watch me ski recommend the tx comp over the tx pro. I think there may be a few that have tx pro’s that wished they’d gotten the comps.
Smart man re the Comps.
Too bad you're not a 29.0 - I've got a first gen pair that's over due for moving on.
Thanks for everything! My teen fits that size but is not interested in tele skiing at the moment.Quote:

I use my wraps from my old T2's in my TX Pro's for lift served instead of the stock TX Pro tours without issue. Probably would be better to re-mould them for the specific shell, especially if there is a hot spot that develops, but otherwise, why not?Quote:

Found this in the Tahoe thread. Who's gonna break the news to Ty that telemarking is dead...

Man, Gunit130 was right all along.
That was the stoke I needed this afternoon, thanks Bronic. Looks to me like tele is alive and well out at the old ski ranch.

Don't get to smug in your trashing tele skiing. With rising crowds, rising prices, sprawling parks chopping up the mountain, disney rides cluttering ski runs, rising temps reducing snow pack,and ski areas selling out to rich people. For the general masses, skiing/riding may not have a very long future either. Ask not for whom the cash register tolls, it tolls for all of us.
Why are you posting this in a thread that’s a safe space in which we celebrate the fact that tele ain’t dead?Quote:

Lucky dog.
No, telemarking is not dead!
Of course, you can achieve better performance with modern skis,
but telemarking will remain as a nice sport.
I am used to admire telemarkers whenever I meet them in steep couloirs.
When will the tele-rax be available??Quote:

Woot!
If you’re gonna show off the quiver, you should include the grom 3 pins as well. I hope that your kids are enjoying them.Quote:

My oldest is 8. Just getting her settled on alpine for the season then we’ll shift to 3-pin. Pics pending!Quote:

My absolute favorite is missing from the lineup: a beatup pair of Rossi Bandit 160's with 7tm Powers, currently with a friend's 13 y/o son who wanted to try tele one day last February. He has them on loan until he grows out or buys his own gear, though they might briefly return to my basement for a binding swap to PowerTours. The kid is hooked and is having more fun than the rest of his friends at our little hill.
So I'd say NOT DEAD YET, and likely to outlive me.
Love the quivers! I just transitioned to NTN with a BMF/R and TX Comp combo and all I can say is wow. Power transfer and edge control is incredible. Feels like an entirely different sport.
