[pct-l] Skis and such!!

[Montedodge@aol.com]

 Hi Skiers, Love to take out my old " Wooden " Kongbergs waxable skis up to 
White Pass PCT North. ( low avalanche  hazard trail with a nice shelter at 
sand lake ) I am just as much a fuddy duddy with skis as old stoves. Use only 
wood waxables, new waxless composite skis are for cheaters. ( might as well 
be a snowmobiler ) Waxing is a lost art with few knowning how. ( Winter camp 
with my Optimus 111 stove which simmers like your home range, weighes more 
than  most new tents, but is great with BIG pots for groups) Just kidding on 
the Ski ragging, waxless people aren't THAT bad.
