Well, I don't have enough to test the CWX bra, so I'll have to go with the tights!

Leseeee....skiing has so many names now. Nordic skiing is usually applied to a number of different "styles" including what has traditionally been called "cross country" skiing (aka "classic") and to skate skiing (aka "free"). Some folks lump "touring" (going out into the woods on XC skis as opposed to going to a groomed XC resort) and "telemark" with nordic. I'd lump telemark in with nordic, but others lump it in with more traditional alpine (downhill) skiing. And then there are AT -- "alpine touring" (aka "randonee")--skis that you can release the heel on for climbing up hills (in the backcountry) and lock them down for the downhill ride.

How to describe telemark...bigger, beefier skis than traditional XC skis (which are known in my world as "skinny skis") and with a beefier binding at a different contact point, and with a free heel (see the pic on my avatar). The skis now look a lot like downhill skis, but they are generally a little lighter. The telemark turn is totally different (looks like lunges or genuflecting) BUT you can still parallel turn on telemark skis (good for when you get really tired)! They do it all. I can't imagine trying to ski with my heel fixed. I'm sure I'd break my leg. Oh! And you can telemark anywhere...at the resort or in the backcountry.

All that being said, I wanna do this with my pooch. She needs to mature a little bit more, though! I think she'd kill me at her current energy level. (The skier is skate skiing, something I also love to do.)
