Swami won't take offense if you mount tele/touring skis with AT bindings, but the easy flex makes tele-turning most joyful.

Time for Swami to trade in his String Cheese Incident rucksack and acquire a modern pack with adjustable straps, back vents, and such.

When seeking frontside skis, look for damp skis with ungodly edge penetration.

For all-mountain skis you seeketh a balance of powder flotation and hard-snow guts.

Big Mountain ski buyers: Meditate on tip rocker if you crave the pow. Ex racers go traditional.

Using AT boots? Swami sees 90 to 100 millimeter crossover skis in your future Facebook postings.

Swami sayeth: Choose a mountain bike with a blend of climbing and descending performance for the exigencies of the mountain trail near you.
