Some of the new school crowd might get interested on this? At least Eric was a buddy of Trevor Petersen, the father of Kye Petersen. A friend of mine called from Finland to Canada and changed a few words with Eric...

Lasse Nevantausta Interview (Director of the movie Roots) Lasse is a newschooler and director of the new Finnish flick "Roots". Check it out - download costs 5 euros...(I haven't actually seen the complete film yet but I guess it is more than worth the money...these guys are pretty damn good)

Sorry the review link on the post above went wrong. HERE is the working one.

I love mine. Only skied park with them though. I changed the stiffer tongues in April and was planning to ski some easy all-mountain with them too (on Gotamas&Dukes) but ended up skiing only tele on that trip (our Lapland hills are not super huge, so tele was a nice new challenge to me) But...

Thanks. Just have to school these young punks once in a while (cause I can't do that anymore in the slopes, heh):) And yes, I have nothing against new schoolers but sometimes it's pretty funny that it seems that they (note:rough generalisation here) don't know shit about the roots of the...

Sorry, the link doesn't work. (anyway, it's on the site if you click "telemark ski deals" and scroll down) Picture:

Nothing new about skiing with one pole: from Wikipedia: "Some Telemark skiers continue to ski with a single long pole or "lurk" held in both hands in traditional style. The lurk should only contact the snow on the inside of the turn, though some find better balance results if the lurk contacts...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2dJB3f6zSE I dunno. In the video the guy seemed to get quite a lot of face shot on his Spat, 125mm underfoot. If the snow if light enough, you get faceshots no matter how wide skis you have. Reverse camber/sidecut adds the "slide/schmear" effect in the pow...

I tell you whatever I want. Isn't that the point of the whole friggin message boards? Besides, I clearly stated that it was an oldschooler's view / point. No offense to anyone, just an opinion. Peace

EDIT: the said Rondi section is around 3.15~3.20 on the video above. After that it gets even steeper and gnarlier...I believe some of the clips are from the dreaded north face of the Aguille du Midi!

http://www.tkbfilms.com/film-e-viva-mono.htm What can you say? Speed record (like ~25seconds) down Glacier Rondi in Chamonix. I believe there's a short section from the exit couloir in the end of the clip. It maybe doesn't look pretty but think about speed and efficiency (on the righ person's...

That was pretty impressive. I mean like balance wise. Still, for an old schoolers the thing is to SKI with the sticks on your feet. I mean,you could have probably taken out the original NCAF guys with their twins and ski the north face of Aguille du Midi (or in reality something similar but...

Very good post. I'm a father of almost three year old girl and 33. I snowboarded pretty much exclusively from ~94 to -99 and then couple of years almost even amount of both, like 20/20 days. Been only skiing since then. I got some mogul background but still I feel that it's easier to make...

Ps. I think when someone refers to "carving lines" he's (or she's) not talking about carving the groomers.
