Holy cow. This thread is on track for less time than it takes for me to yard sale on a double diamond. Any other suggestions out there?
Yeah, just for fun, for your bc powder skiing give some serious thought to Dynafit TLT5 Mountains, Vertical STs, and Manaslus--you might find the the whole setup to weigh so considerably less and break trail and climb so much easier than heavy duty tele gear--and in looking at the weight of the Mountains, deduct the "downhill booster tongue" you won't need it. But you may be too young for AT (after telemark) gear.
