The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard
The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.
We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.
We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Yeah real XC skis are not fun downhill on anything steeper than a bunny slope. I'm sure you could do it on some real tele skis. Great TR as always.
Plans for 2015: To ski more than you

Hell the bunny slope nearly killed me, perhaps I'm to old to learn new tricks....but I'll keep trying. How are the rivers?

a NNN binding has metal loop at the tip of the boot as opposed to a 3 pin binding.
NNN is good for rentals but i prefer the 3 pin. skis without edges work best in unbroken snow and with edgeless skis alot of your steering is done with your poles.
you should give real tele equipment a try. with modern equipment you could be making strong alpine turns just like your regular skis in addition to learning tele turns.
the kicking and gliding motion of cross country skiing is the same motion as teleing!

Nice little vid from the valley shows some downhill bumps on the skinny stuff. I don't claim to be able to do this, but I respect it!
