[1]- If you do a good job filling the holes, a redrilled ski is
just as strong as the original, just a tiny bit
heavier. Re-drilling is mostly a blow to your ego, not your skis.
If you ski enough, you realize that even the burliest skis only
have 100 days or so in them. Better to experiment on these skis
to get it right for the next pair.

yep. But skis are (and will be) different. I don't think the next skis
will be the same as this ones anyway. Evolution is going on.

And yes, you're right. Me, in one season (normally between 50 - 70 ski
days) i wear out a pair - that's good then in the new season for the
stones (on start of the season and in bad conditions).

Thanks a lot for all advice (if you're interested i can try to tell how
a midfat feels with telebulldog).


_ I think everybody would be interested[1]. What occurred to me as I
was looking at the telebulldog web page is that it would be
possible to retrofit the thing to have an AT-like climbing mode.
It's got a pivot right at the toe anyway. In my experiments with
AT gear last season I was very impressed with how easy climbing
is in AT gear. Even NNN/BC is feels a bit stiff after climbing
with AT bindings.
