My Skiing

90% backcountry. IFMGA Guide aspirant. Telemark and carving in the resort. Generally tend towards big days hunting steeps and hop turns in the backcountry. I prefer capability on the down/lightless on the up (60/40) and find I like lighter (1000g) boots and mid weight skis (1350-1550g)

My uphill speed and interest in skimo racing are ever growing.

I have a pair of Voile V6s (nonHyper), mounted with ATK R12s at boot center for a 308mm BSL. Based on the screw holes for these, I’m curious if I’d be able to remount with a 22Designs lynx at 1-2cm’s back from boot center for the new scarpa TXPro in 27.0?
Just got these in, have two resort days on them paired with the ZG Tour Pro boot and one back country day in variable (wet to breakable to hardpack steeps) conditions paired with the ZG Peak Carbon Boot. I typically ski the Voile V6 and Hyper V8, I also have a ZG 80LT in 164 as a "heavy skimo" and training ski. I wanted a spring/steeps/expedition ski that could handle a ton of conditions while I am guiding and be more planted than the V6 when conditions get firm. For other skis, I like the ZG 95 and 85 they...
Love the pomoca glue. These are great skins, but for my style, I prefer the pinks. I thought that they were going to climb better and be a little more durable, but honestly I cannot tell a difference between them and the pinks. For the improved glide and packability, I'm going to stick with the pinks for all of my skis once these wear out.
I have several pairs of these for all of my skis at this point. They are my preffered skin because of how easily they glide, how reliable the glue is and how tightly this specific Mohair packs down. For the glue... on a trip to denali, the two pomoca users on the trip were the only folks that did not have a complete glue failure as temps dropped.

After issues with Leg Baton tips breaking I was liiking for a 120-125cm baton style pole that was light and had solid metal tips past the basket. These fit the bill and have been awesome. The spiffy basket is actually surprisingly nice on the up tto because I hold my poles really lightly and used to routinely lose them to the snow behind me. the "race-ish" basket helps eliminate this issue.
