Do you (or I) get a referral bonus if I mention your name? That was actually semi-serious; they look like a nice replacement for my Garmont Towers that are almost worn out.

I'd guess the Bonnas at least are 70's vintage, some of the others may be as well. Downhill oriented skis got metal edges in the 30s/40s, touring oriented skis still haven't. XC skiing had a huge head of steam in the 70's. Thousands of XC skiiers in Yosemite - they banned snowmobiles partly for public safety. It wasn't until late in the decade that fiberglass took over, there are quite a few wooden skis still floating around, including my parents garage. Fun to ski. "Tur Model" is a touring ski, "hickory sal" is a hickory sole. You probably saw this website before: www.woodenskis.com ; I can try and dig up what I have buried. I might be interested; I also have a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch skis to resuce. How times have changed.

Uncage it! Move from the shitty side of the states and release your inner beast!

The whole place has an "Oil for Food" aura about already.

If it's too warm to ski climb rock in the Cottonwoods.

Sounds like sex ed in some parts of the country.

Shit! There's a market for Spray in Texas! It really is a freemarket paradise!

How's your Haliburton contract working out?

Because when you are drunk on Hamms hitting the paper is a miracle.

Wow. You managed to elevate yourself out of the coma inducing bump segments enough to register disgust. I'm impressed.

Pope, are you the gimp they drag out to scare away climbers?

The discretion of when to put on ski crampons is beyond most ttips readers. I agree if you are going to trim skins do it right. If you are buying skins save the money. If they are the width of the tail you'll be more than fine for most fat skis. The only bit you'll miss is a tad at the tip, if that, on my crossbows the previous owner bought 120mm skins to trim down to 108mm. There's money well spent.

Just because you couldn't hack it as a whore doesn't mean you need to be bitter.

I guess that would make Bush a "drinker" now, wouldn't it? Yup

Ski crampons. Seriously, 5mm isn't going to kill you. Nor will having the skins be 10-15mm narrower than the shovel.

Oh, we have enough faith that his red state ways were thoroughly expunged at Harvard, any lingering maladies were treated at Princeton, and Stanford saw fit to imbue him with Golden State liberalism.

Yes Mr President!

They forgot the most important part though: Making sure to warm the Thermos before you fill it.

He's not a crony - he's only been a bushie for a few months. A crony would have been picking some supplyside quack.
