XCD = X-Country Downhill

Last weekend Marcus and I did a backcountry ski tour Michigan style.  I had the chance to check out the Karhu Guides and the Rossignol BC 125 in the woods of Harbor Springs.  I rented a nice light weight tele boot set-up from the Outfitter in Harbor Springs called the Garmont Excursions.  I have been thinking about these skis and boots as an option for our local dunes and woods here in Grand Haven.  I was amazed at how well they kicked and glided through the rolling terrain, and how easily the skis were to turn in the trees downhill.  I predict a full obsession coming next winter when I get my new gear.  Thanks again to Marcus for taking me out, and having the full SAMA stoke for all the outdoor options we have here in Michigan!
