While backcountry skiing yesterday, it occurred to the Lady and me that we have a confession to make.

.... for the solitude of back country sking to go where you want to go without lift lines and people competing for your space. How such a simple complex system brings you such joy swishing across the snow while gliding down a slope creating effortless three-pin tele-turns all the while giggling with a big smile. 
Such selflessness....
You are forgiven!

Ski, I don't see any pins on those bindings or have my eyes gotten that bad.

OK I did notice there aren't any "3 pins" like the typical cross country 3 pit set up.
But you are still "free heeling it".
Nice set up.
Happy "swishing"

Is there anything else you need to confess about, my son?
Perhaps the brand of wax?
If nothing else to confess, then say,
Three "Let it snow",
Six, "Ski good or eat wood",
and,
Four, "The mountains are calling and I must go."
Don't forget to worship as often as possible in the light, fluffy, white powder of snow on a very long run.

If the guilt is truly overwhelming, we could just call you the SkinnySkis.

Cleaver as some have posted that you may have not been using the traditional 3 pin bindings or boots... If that is so be not afraid of confession. Before two knee surgery's I hit the slopes with cable bindings and three pins. Just depends what and where I wanted to do. I still used the leather boots but I did buy the original T-2 Terminators double plastic boots. Still have them if somebody wants them at below fair price. Spent way many days on the paid sky slopes sking off the tops and moguls with the ones to the left that the metal is shaved off on the bindings.
That's all I got and await for you confession as speculation can have endless conversations.
