I look at _ Rec.skiing.backcountry from time to time and checked it out the

wrong, I'm devoted to the steep and the deep, or I would be if a) I coud
find it and b) I was a good enough skier to handle it. In the real world I
mostly ski the shallow ( 3 or 4 inches if I'm lucky) and the steep enough (
to require some sort of turning ability. I'm reminded of the boy in the
brothel who when asked "Who do you think you are going to satisfy with that
little thing? It can't be more than 3 inches," replied with a big grin on
his face, "me".


_ I think there are more people in your boat than you realize in
rec.skiing.backcountry. A lot of the "steep and deep" talk there
is mostly wishful thinking... Besides if you ask about
telemarking on NNN/BC bindings, you can get my annual rant about
the useless of most NNN/BC boots. I certainly have pushed the
telemark on NNN/BC gear about as far as it can go and there are
other people trying to do things on as light a gear as possible.
