Charger Love....

Can't answer to the voile's but my epoch's go plenty fast to get me in a whole lotta trouble with my limited freeheel skillset  calling mc2, I'd like to hook up for a clinic this season!

There you go...

I just can't bring myself to spring for a third set of BC skis, I need to trash out a pair before I buy a new one and scales are not a big enough reason. I bought 2 new pair last year and two the year before. I have so damn many pair in the basement I need to start to sell off. With a full complement of Alpine and a full set of BC skis and all in good condition - I need to slow down a bit.

Peetex where do you ski? Somehow I'd thought you didn't ride lifts anymore.

Harv,

I will ride lifts early season when the BC is too boney or when my wife wants to ski, she is an alpine skier. If I am riding lifts it is usually a smaller place like Royal, Oak or McCauley. I will ski Gore a few times per season and sometimes WF, just depends on where the snow is. When I travel to the rockies I usually Alpine for a day or two with my wife to get used to the altitude and then I'll switch & go off by myself or with my Grand daughter exploring.

PeeTex, did you see this article?

Nice justification article Dave.
There are lots of reasons to buy new skis;
1) You only live once
2) It's only money
3) They'll make you ski better
4) It just feels good to have new stuff

and I am sure there are more.

I may regret the decision when I am slogging into or out of some cache in the High Peaks, but I just have to keep reminding myself - it's the journey.

You have stronger resolve than I, PeeTex.  (No new skis for me this year, but so far, a new helmet, some boots - albeit used - and skins ordered.) I'm no stranger to conspicuous consumption.

Had some Charger love today... Nice to know they still work... It's been a while.
Pics over in the Hinterland thread.

More Charger love today.  Even took a pic.

Would that pic be the equivalent of a bike leaning on a tree?

Absolutely. It's hard to get near a tree with your skis off.

Charger love all over at SR today.  Perfect tool for the day.

Gratuitous shot of my Voile Charger BC's snuggled in the basement ceiling for the time being.. A "leaning against something" pic will have to wait.

It's already been a week since this was taken.. Hopefully winter returns with a vengeance .....
Note: Charger BC's leaning against my Hyundai.

Modified my Chargers today:



Yeah, yeah, the sticker is a little off centre. Aren't we all.
