Now I have skis, frame bindings, climbing skins, and touring boots all for less than $600. The whole set-up weighs about 50 pounds and the boots are too soft, but heck, if there's a powder day I can ski from my front door. I little surprised you haven't started looking into the tele world up there yet? Or have you??? Quote

Half the people I know here are tele skiers. I'd definitely like to try it, but I really want to work on getting my regular alpine skiing up a few notches. I'm getting some sort of ski- industry pass that's good for every Vermont resort, so imma take that thing for a ride! GSS, my setup isn't literally 50 pounds, but it ain't light. Frame bindings ski like regular alpine bindings but are heavy and less efficient for climbing. They basically look like a demo binding except that you can lift the whole thing up at the heel. Salomon has a fancy new AT binding that's supposed to climb like a tech binding but ski like an alpine binding. If I can get a pro deal on those I may try them out. Bit of snow at Killington today and freeze warnings tonight! 3 Quote
SallyCat Posted October 14, 2018 Report Posted October 14, 2018 Oooo, my ski-industry pass includes unlimited visits to any resort in Vermont, two tickets per visit! Someone's about to make new friends! 4 Quote

Barb Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 Larry's is a great shop. I will never go anywhere else now. He is almost a one man show so you have to make an appointment but they spend time with you and I feel like they are not just throwing what they want to sell on your feet. I have never had boots heat molded before. I am excited to try them out. It's amazing how much different companies differ in sizing. I tried on Atomic's and Lange's in the same size and my feet were going numb just standing there for a few minutes. 1 Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted October 27, 2018 Report Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) I wanted to go to the sale at Blue but didn’t make it there so just bought a pair of Atomic vantage 95 C skis in a 186 length. The reviews I saw were good and they’re nice and stiff and have a bit of rocker. What bindings should I buy? Edited October 27, 2018 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

I feel like this is a troll, but Blue had a stack of Head RX 12 bindings with 95mm brake at the tent sale for $109. Maybe some left tomorrow Quote
