Worth a trip up!  4-6" powder on older consolidated 10-16" base. No rocks. Yet.

Bad news update:  Rock skis broke at their rotten binding holes when I hit a small dip in the snow.
Good news:  The Manaslus were in the car nearby, and there were no rocks to hit!  The skin track had no traversing so the skinny rock ski skins worked fine on the Mannys.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Pretty impressive that you broke both skis at once!



Ooooh, TLT5's on Fran's feet . . .

Does this make my Summits worth more or worth less ?

Nice even weighting. Given the skis' history, that must've been one heck of a dip in the snow. Summit West is a fearsome place.

Not a wink of snow in Virginia; jealous.

Custom early rise skis Silas.
Very nice!


Are you gaining weight, Si?  Was this pre or post turkey  ;)

Silas, how many offers of free skis have you got?
