   What is this world coming to, when tele-thrashers wear plastic boots and brain buckets? What’s next, 180cm parabolic skis?? Hucking 1080s in the terrain park?

   The world isn’t coming to anything, it’s going to hell. And yes, it’s a fucking sickness. One hour to summit. 4 minutes of down. When it ain’t summer, Tele is the shit. It’s one of the few ways for me to get my energy out before it turns to hate.

   I couldn’t be more relieved that gapers will never embrace this. It’s way too hard.

   Nate & BVO absolutely blazed the frozen cords on the descent, legitimizing the plastic boots and helmet quite well.

   Don’t hate, congratulate.

   I’ve tele’ed on full-race rigs, it’s scary going 40 MPH on non-releasable bindings. I fucked up at speed on tele one time, knocked myself senseless and sported contusion and hematoma for a couple of months. That wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had. These days, I just don’t ski that fast. You kids have fun, stay green. Safety first.

   Of course Randy Tele’s. I wouldn’t expect any less from the off road fixed gear 29er rider.

   this confirms (again) I need to get some tele boards.

   Everything about that appeals. I’d much rather earn my downs, but still like to do downs. ..and XC sticks on descents are spastic like a cat with ducktaped paws.

    tell me what’s the point
    you convene the dawn patrol
    groomed snow your reward
