ultralight skis was created by jackal
I was deciding which skis to bring for a hike out to Coleman Pinnacle area knowing we'd just be yo-yoing small slopes and there staring me in the face were my skate skis. Hmmm, 35-42-38, not fat, no edges, but oh so light and easy to tele on if there's thin carvable snow. Turned out to be the perfect choice! It was like carrying a light day pack. Highly recommended for limited tours where the objective is not getting the best turns but having an easy care-free day.

Seems like an appropriate time to poke fun at you for having a pack with such a heavy waist belt :)

True -- the pack was heavier than the skis. This setup needs an approach pack & trail runners on the feet.
