No but if you se something decent let me know or pick it up and I'll pay you. I'm not sure what I'm looking for when it comes to this stuff. I just know I liked the little set-up that you had.

If I were going to replace that setup I would probably go a tad beefier with something like this:

metal edge w/ NNN BC still fits and quick in the track with a little more control on the down

That's a good looking board! I haven't heard of Yes until now but cool company. 

Yeah, I've had good experience so far, .. I have a Yes Ghost also... This should be a bit more mellower on the camber

any body looking for a cheap pair of bump skis?

Is it just in my head that I should be on something longer than 172, even for a bump ski? That seems brutally short for me at 6’1” tall, right?

uh yea they'd be a little short for you lol, or my fat ass for that matter. I think mogul skis top out at around 180

my SL skis are 165's...

Don't know if this really counts as new gear but.....I scored a Mavic Mini....Absolutely hate the noise they make but some of the shots I've seen are pretty cool....Figured it would be good for the gravel rides/bikepacking or some of the cross country skiing/splitboarding (if we ever get some natural cover)....

I too have seen them banned many places..

I was at a high school football game two years ago and some jackass was flying it over the field. They had to delay the game for 15+ minutes before it finally flew away.

Perfect timing on this delivery. Just enough daylight and snow to head out to the park for a test before the rain 👌🎿

Ski Essentials out of Stowe. They were great to deal with over the phone and seemed to have really knowledgeable xc reps to get me into a decent intro package.

Metal edges? Nordic touring set up if you will?

No these are definitely more of a classic nordic touring than nordic backcountry. Should be good to shuffle around on "trails" and parks around here but I would love to get them on groomed trail and in-track sometime to really use them. 59/51/55 sidecut so more of a cross between classic and skate skis.

Abom heated goggles are on clearance...

TFTI. I wonder if these actually prevent fogging? During Stowe I was seriously pissed off at how frequently my goggles fogged especially after riding the gondola
