...and you are....?

So if anyone needs info or a scoop on what's-what and what's-where (that is not about boards on snow), feel free to ask. If I don't know the answer, I'll get it, or at least I will make up something good enough to get by you. Weather is turning and soon you will be too!

...speaking of upgrading backcountry packages ... i need to mount some new AXL's i picked up at the end of last season on a new mid-fat i picked up at the end of last season and i am in no way capable of doing this myself. where's the "go to" place in the valley to mount telemark binders?

[Hawk]

Depends on who you talk to. Some like VT North at the bottom of the Access Rd. Some like Mountain Side in the village. I like Alpine Options.

Cold-er is coming this weekend. Starting to get the buzzzzzz!

what kind of buzz?

[Hawk]

Ski Buzz.........I start to get the shakes and twitch.

[teletubby]

Thanks ... I'm asking because I feel like Alpine Options is stepping back a bit from a commitment to telemark ... and VermontNorth are alpine gods (love the way they tune a ski) ... and I don't know as much as I should about Mountainside ... and frankly I've heard mixed reviews on Clearwater though I should walk in there and form my own assessment. I'd go to MRG shop in a heartbeat but I'm jonesing to have them mounted, like soon. Yep, I've got the buzz for sure.
