hopefully they're right

snow showers for most of PA on saturday.....going to be up at belleayre....ski999, you in?

they look to be marginal. Good is when the high is only 32. But i don't know WHEN we will see a good 24 hr snowmaking day. I guess they'll just have to do without it

I'll use the hand lotion analogy again When you use hand lotion, you want it to be absorbed into your skin, you don't want globs of white crap on your hand. Same thing with skis. You want it in the base, not ON the base. You iron it into the base, then scrape the excess that doesn't get into the base, off. You don't want to get rid of the wax thats IN the base, which is what base cleaner will do.

Nah, you'll have all the wax left over. You want to get fresh wax into the base. The wax doesn't disspear after you iron it in. It will look like nothing happened, actually. You scrape it off, it seems counter productive, but its what you do. Scraping and brushing actually help you remove stuff from the base (scraping/brushing the wax helps "pull" stuff off)

I know I don't ski on Bode's skis. But its just like Ferrari and BMW. I don't drive BMW's F1 race car (or Bode's Skis), but technology and inovations from their race programs funnel down into production use (the skis I do ski on). Technology that was used to produce my high revving inline-6 in the M3 was derived from their racing program. It doesn't matter if I don't ski on the real thing, but when its tried and proven in a racing environment, it has a way of finding its way down into production use.

thats great to hear, i'm gunna blast up there maybe tomorrow and snap a few pics for PASR...so there actually is snow on the ground?

If Atomic offered him the same as Rossi did, but he saw everyone that was on Atomics doing alot better then him, its a no brainer, definatly go with Atomics. As Ski999 said, his daughter and most of her team chose Volkls, that's probably why Skidude skis them too. Ski999 and I ski Atomics cause they are real man skis.

If my dad would buy me a Ferrari or Lamborghini, I'd definatly take it, but I don't see that happening

You forget to mention the best cars in the world are made in Italy, so why aren't Nordica the best? Ferrari? Lamborghini? And don't you worry, Bode isn't stupid to sign w/ a company that wouldn't benifiet his career. Looks like he made the right choice.

hey now, I don't pick on them cause they're Fischers (well maybe i do) I pick on them cause of their length...

ahahahahahhahahaha, that was funny...

wheres Volkl?

I've heard some great things about Greek Peak. A admin from that "other" Camelback message board has been there, and raved about it. I bet it gets a crowd of college students from Cornell though, eh?

when does OLN start covering FIS WC skiing? this weekend? or next?

it's all in the Atomics !

i never said the strongest can only ski them. They are the best skis, and my next pair of stix will be GS:11s, to replace my GS:9s. Go skidude

i don't use accuweather, i think its a little unreliable....weather.com is where its at

I wonder if i can fit the wood i need for one of those in a BMW

it's called a hotbox, and it really works. But its not as hot as an oven, its just hot enough to help the wax seep into the pores of the base. I was considering sending my new skis next year to this place that will hotbox them for hours on end with different waxes, and they'll be sooo fast.

it just looks like water

yea i know what you mean, for a beginner/noob/cruiser that might be good, but for a racer/expert who wants their weight distributed the way they want it to be, a fixed plate would be more suitable.

it's gotta be those new atomics
