Vibes Quick uphill from Timberline to Palmer on Saturday morning. I haven’t toured since climbing Mt. St. Helens last spring. I wanted to see how my new skis were on the uphill. My mountaineering skis are Volkl VTA 88 – so 88 underfoot and mostly carbon with a little piece of metal under the binding – Atomic Backland Pure Alpine tech bindings. They’re light, like super light. They’re amazing at go
