Tele Crud Busters?
Anyone tried mounting these Tele? If so, how are they in the crud? I need a new tele ski, and I'm considering these, the Blend, Salomon Czar, and Rossi Phantom S108. I don't really care about groomer or hard snow performance - I'm looking for a good crud/powder ski for the heavy sticky Pacific NW snow. Any suggestions?

Hey Ben, I'd suggest getting something with tip rocker for that PNW heavy crud snow. It makes initiating the turn much easier, especially with tele, and allows you to blast right through stuff that regular camber skis just can't handle. I ski these mounted with Hammerheads, and in heavy crud and sticky snow they tend to get a little hard to manage... Check out the Justice, from Black Diamond.
