Pay particular attention to point#4 - TGR is not for everyone - and that post explains why.

I've been over there once its all fat skis this and hucking that. I would like to see some of those guys doing some real skiing here on the east coast. Anybody can ski powder with those cheater boards.

ha! while i am not a poster over there, i search the forums for info occasionally, and am under the impression most of those guys ain't all talk. any one that can rip it big out west could easy do so in the east. an expert is an expert no matter where they go.

I have visited TGR before, but what i don't understand is why you would call fat skis cheater boards?

If you have never had the chance to float through the powder on a pair of +90mm waisted skis, I suggest you try. They opened my world a few seasons ago. There is a place for every ski out there, none of which are cheater boards.

Good skiers are good skiers. It is the attitude and the appreciation of the sport and community that matters.

I learned to ski with two popsicle sticks stuck to my feet with bandaids. Anything biger than 10 mm is cheating in my book.
Of course, this was back before my daddy got laid off down the mill, and we had to start using the alligators for skis, but we done covered all that.

Same goes for those curved skis. They take the work out of it. You don't learn the fundamentals because the skis are doing all the work for you.

Sarcasm, Chuck. it's a wonderful thing.

Aligators being used as skis don't get it, either.
