Black Diamond Equipment Zealot Telemark/AT Skis

I use these sticks with my Marker Dukes. So far only riding Timberline on Mount Hood, White River Canyon on Mount Hood and the Northside of Mount Hood near and below Tie-in-rock. Can't wait to ski aspects from the top of Hood! They are heavy, but if you want confidence to attack steeps and go fast with a few launches along the way these are it.

I had my regular Marker 1200 downhill bindings mounted on these at [...] before I left for three weeks of powder heaven in Japan. These boards are fantastic on the powder! I had to get used to the width (I normally ski with my boots together) which I never quite did, but as a powder-only ski they were a dream. In the chest-deep fluff under the rope at Hirafu they took me to new heights of skiing pleasure. On the groomed piste... not so much because of the width. My only complaint would be the lack of any kind of tip guard on these sticks. They are showing their wear up there! I've noticed other brands, especially rental powder skis have them as standard issue. All said, they will be an important part of my mountain assault armoury. A great STP bargain as always!

Good light BC ski, a bit on the stiff side. I'm glad I got the shorter size. Recently preformed vey well in blower pow to heavy wet crud.
