The first few weeks are pretty hellish if your not a skiier already but once you get the hang of it, it goes off!! remeber helmet and knee pads cos when you go down, you go down hard. _________________________ .....got my plans in a ziplock bag, lets see how unproductive we can be.

I guess the cable restricts movement. Most of the Randonee races are being won by people on super light backcountry ski gear like the dynafit boot binding system.
