    The fastest way to hate something you love is to do it for work, I say go nuts, ride for you and enjoy not being responsible for the general public. 

    This is so fucking true....I was one of the first SB instructors at Doe Mt...We basically  got a season pass for wearing a jacket and screwin off..You taught like three or four lessons all year cause nobody snowboarded in the early 90's...Then the muther effin X games came along and it was a swift kick in the bean bag...Every kid wanted to snowboard..You would be havin fun dickin around ..then get call for a lesson with somebodies crotch goblin and you'd be like FUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!

    Scored some longship variant corvus's last night, not only are they my long coveted midnight in Cairo graphics they were once owned by a legit pro. 

    Historical provenance is often thought of with fine cars or such but legend has it mute himself once rode these down the icy slopes of Palmerton. 

    Did they come with a COA?

    After much research, I just got lazy and got myself some Altai HOK skis. Backcountry cross country skis are its own category, but sort of just seem like tele skis. I was looking hard at the Alpina Discovery 68’s. I dare you to find ANY info about these on their website. I double dare you to find a place that actually sells them. Guess I would have to fly to Slovenia and take European delivery. 
     

    Was also looking at the Fischer S-Bound series. Again, seems like a unicorn and couldn’t find them in stock anywhere. The shops around here seem to focus on the skimo crowd as the Big 4 race and the Grand Traverse are big deals here. You can’t walk into a ski shop and throw a rock without hitting a pair of Dynafit’s. On a side note, is it me or does the skimo crowd seem to bear a striking resemblance to the road bike crowd. Both have an air of elitist douchebag and both fall under the umbrella term spandex mafia. And if you are a man and weigh over 147.2 lbs they kick you out of either club. 
     

    These are my new HOK’s

    They have a permanent skin on the bottom. They seem like toys they are so tiny. 125’s. Bindings similar to snowboard bindings and are adjustable to any shoe.
     

    Snow incoming this weekend, YAY! 

    I kinda looked at those as a replacement for snowshoes...How heavy are they? 

    There are elitist douchbags in every sport...
