    Tuckermans Ravine Memorial Day Weekend

    Andy-- If you hike down to the X marked in red on this attachment to the top of the great gulf, its a really nice viewpoint. Having worked at the observatory for a summer, this is one of my favorite places on the summit cone. Also going down the tux trail to the top of the ravine (somewhere...

    I've seen them, but not gotten to use them yet... I'm not going to lie, I can't wait to get a pair on some fat boards and see what kind of abuse they take.

    AT (all terrain) / Randonne bindings & skis

    The din is on 11ish, which is closed to maxed, but not actually maxed (I still release out of these unwantedly on occasion). The duke, I've been told, will go up to 16? Granted its a bit heavier, but it may be something I look to invest in... Porter

    FTO News Item: Rumors Fly Regarding Pending Sale of ASC Resorts
