I have finally gotten my entire tele setup. No more put skins onto my cross country skis and floundering down hill. It's time for some real action. Over the last weekend I purchased the remainder of the gear I need to tele ski. Enabling me to go up the hill and then down it. The entire setup ended up only costing me $ 300. This is about the price one can expect to pay for any one of the 4 parts needed. This was well worth the 6 months + it took me to acquire the gear. Now if I had a vehicle that was reliable enough to take into the hills I would be set. All in good time. Slow and steady wins the summit. I'll keep you up to date.
