By the way, I just ordered a second pair of skis, for chunky roads and light meadow skipping. These should be great for a trip up to Artist Point or the ungroomed trails through some of the Blewett Pass sno parks. I'll probably test them out in the Mountain Loop area when they arrive.
Madshus Glittertind MGV+. I'm planning to use the boots I have now, but I think I'll need shorter poles. I got a screaming deal on the skis, and the poles will probably cost more.
