fun in the deep stuff

By Backcountry.com Employee January 2, 2011

Rode these bad boys at Solitude about 2 weeks ago on the 188 with O1 tele binding. It had dumped several feet in the last couple days and I was able to snag a couple of first lines in deep stuff and they just floated so wonderfully. I'm still pretty new to tele and had no problems. Later in the day they dropped the ropes for Honeycomb and it was just incredibly. Effortless floating through the deep stuff, just too bad a tree knocked out power in the canyon so the one trip through honey comb was all i got.

The day before that it was wet clumpy snow and they worked pretty well there too but were a bit much for the churned up, heavy packed out bumps that were forming (atleast for me). On the grromed stuff though I was amazed at how well they got me back to the lifts being full rockered and so wide but there were no issues.

I'll be taking them out again soon and will keep you all updated.
