Your channel has become part of my morning coffee ritual to start my day with laughter and positivity. Everytime I watch one of your videos you make me want to drop everything and take a trip to witness it first hand. Soothing.
That warms our heart to be part of your daily positivity. I don't think there is a bigger compliment than that as a creator. Your comments brifhten our day as well. Thank you for always tuning in and dropping a nice comment.
Really nice to see that logging and recreation can exist together. Looks like nice trails and, with the cabins, a good chance for a few over nighters for both skiing and biking in the summer.
Great video. I've known the Carter's fr years! Stayed at Camp Fern a few times. GPS'd the trails years ago. Great folks, and a great place to ski!! Thanks for the video!!!
@@ThatMountainMoment I used to live in the area. I've known the Carter's since 02. I used to frequently visit and worked out of their Oxford location when I was doing research in the Umbagog area. My last visit to Camp Fern was in 2020.
★loѵє this! you captured Carter's essence and this was a lot of fun to watch and listen to. your joy in sharing your adventures is very wonderful. thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad you feel we captured the essence of Carter's. It's always hard to portray such a special place in only a short video. Hearing that means a lot. We're really grateful you enjoyed the video. Carter's is by far our favorite day of this winter. Do you go there often?
WOOOOOOOW so beautiful! it is almost like the Wham! video, the Last Christmas :) I hate that song, but I love the peaceful atmosphere of that music video, and this kinda reminds me :)
Oh that's awesome to hear you felt it was relaxing. That's the mood I was in when making this one and was hoping that showed. Thank you for the nice comment. Hope you've had a good week.
Hey guys! What a beautiful playground and those cabins looked inviting for sure. The borders are opened back up so I may have to come visit this summer. I'm thinking you might be able to show me around! Lol cheers
@@ThatMountainMoment I will keep you informed. I have a fellow TH-camr friend coming to visit from Thailand in June so I'm thinking a grand adventure is in store! I will keep you posted. Stay safe my friends. 😁🚵♂️
Just found your channel, xc skiing, trail running, gravel bikes, bikepacking, backpacking, are you my long lost children? 😂😂😂 just about to buy some BC skis, didn’t get on with classic skinny track skis, so you still like those s-bound 112?
Ha ha! Yes we totally love our 112s. Can't wait to get back out on them this winter. Snow a little lacking currently but it'll come eventually. I mention to a lot of people that they were the best piece of gear I never knew I needed. Used to put in 80 days on a snowboard, tried these once and haven't set foot on a resort or board in years. No crowds, endless options, and being able to explore areas that are basically inaccessible in non snow months...well worth the investment. Let us know if you have any questions on the setup. I really need to get a breakdown video series going on all the gear we use. Stay tuned...thanks for saying hello.
A lot of people say that a leather boot isn’t enough for that ski… and I should go with the 98. Wondering if you’ve tried a 98 and your thoughts on boot ski combo?
It depends in how you plan to use it. Our boots are the exoskeleton style but a soft boot. Not even as stiff as the leather B.C. boots but we use them more to tour than prioritize the descending stiffness but I will say that even on tight twisty decents I've never felt like it was a problem. Can still parralel turn them and Tele turn them no problem. The 112s offer more lateral support and I think the wider ski actually negates the need for a stiffer boot because the width is assisting in the lateral stability. I feel that people expect an alpine touring setup peeformance where you can rip turns like a hard boot in steep alpine terrain but that's not what these skis are about for the most part, although they can do that with the proper binding boot combo such as a really light weight apline touring setup or a hard boot Tele set up but at that point id rather have an alpine touring setup with skins and a real ski boot to optimize that type of terrain. These will get you up and down no problem but they really excel in rolling terrain and long sustained climbs and are far more efficient and versatile than a full alpine setup that's more of a one trick pony. These truly glide with a beautiful bouncy in deep powder where an alpine touring is more of a shuffle than a glide. Even a stiffer leather boot would help the turning response on the 112s But if your trying to tour and cover ground efficiently, be more comfortable, and still have plenty of fun on the downs then the otx bc nnn boot binding combo is awesome and I feel it's what this ski is most in harmony with. There are 3 pin purists out there and that would be about the same control but I like the nnn bc better personally and now there's even better versions of that as well. The 112s also can go out in more conditions than the 98s, obviously deeper snow the 112s are incredible but another advantage is that when the coverage is very thin the 112s will keep you on top of that better and you can make 2inches of snow Feel like much more, effectively giving you more opportunities to get out there. The deeper it is the more fun these are though. Weve got spider 62s otx for firmer snow and hard pac\ touring center stuff, when the big skis aren't necessary,but they still break light trail in a dignified manner because they have metal edges and a bigger climbing scales they are a skinny version of the 112s in every way except the side cut is more straight so they can fit in groomed tracks if needed. We went the two skis on both ends of the spectrum instead if compromising in the middle so we could optimize the deep days and the firmer days. But for years we only used our 112s before buying the 62s. Feel free to ask any more questions, I just took them out today and glad I had the flotation to stay up on top of the little bit of snow we had.

Totally agree. They made beautiful use if thier land.
Paper and logging companies donate countless miles of land for snowmobiling and ATV usage in the north east.

They really are great there. Very welcoming and the terrain is so fun. We can't wait to go back. Do you live in that area?

Oh thanks John! It really is an awesome place. We only scratched the surface of the terrain there.

That Sunday River in the distance?
