My Skiing
Telemark off and on for 30 years.
1 year on AT equipment (I should've done it sooner)
Randonee equipment (Ramer bindings) for many years but just with plastic mountaineering boots. Ease of travel on glaciers, not necessarily for the downhill experience.
My Gear
TLT5 with BD amperage and stigma models. Dynafit bindings.
Recently ordered Dynastar Nanga Parbat with Plum Race 165 bindings, which I hope to use to try out SkiMo racing next season (2014/15) with my TLT5s.
