The decent into winter has begun

First Backcountry issue has arrived...reading through the gear guide, starting to feel like I might as well be wearing leather boots with 230cm nordic skis bound to my feet. I'm starting to think I need to give these rockered puppies a try one of these days. Another omen of things to come, first snows of the season are falling in Montana tonight, whitening up passes & the mountains...the decent into winter now officially underway (at least in my mind).

critical for what though? climbing and open decents? I'm mainly going through virgin eastern woods...i don't see rockered skis doing as good of a job with the ginsu knife aspect...but i guess that may have more to do with the tail than the tip.
