BOUNDLESS

Like Grambo (and Justin), I just got a new backcountry tele/touring set up.

I went with the Fischer Boundless Crown, with the Karhu XCD Traverse boot (like Graham) and the Voile 3-pin Cable Telemark Binding. And tossed on some risers and leashes, so they can rocket down some groomed lift-accessed down hill. They are a little shorter and a little wider than the 10th Mountains Grambo and Justin are rockin'. You can read a telemarkski.com review of these skis here.

Took'em out tonight for our first short loop. (It's an incredible night, by the way...28 degrees...crystal clear...bright stars...awesome...) After the first few kicks into the woods I felt like I could go forever, and kind of wanted to. After a short while, I figured I should head home for dinner, turned around and enjoyed the reward of the modest hills I had climbed going in. These things are rockin'. I'm fired up and can't wait to ski to, and around, Beaver Meadow next weekend--and far, far beyond.
