Chedi dog as a youngsterIn memoriam: This ski is named after Chedi who passed away from cancer at age 9. She was a loyal friend, loved all things winter, and came on many backcountry adventures with the gang. Her spirit lives on in this loyal, howl-evoking, all-mountain ski.

              “...an unashamedly stout workhorse. The ski turns when I want it to turn; it goes where I want it to go.

              ...surprisingly dextrous, and can find a home on edge in firm conditions, in long arcs, blasting through whatever comes at it. But it can also make snappy short-radius turns.

              It’s a model–and a boot-binding-ski interface–that I can’t help but recommend.

              Psyched

              If you are hesitant to make this once in a lifetime purchase, you are preventing yourself from eternal joy. The Chedi with the BMF3 conquers any thing you put in its way. Hard pack ice the first day of turns, powder 10” on day two. Mix of leftovers powder and cords- sang like a bird. Quickies in the trees and bumps - flawless. Season all this with best in class service, you will be psyched ever time you get the opportunity to hit the mountain.

              Glad I popped for them!

              Very happy with my Chedi choice, with BMF/R even better. Only been skiing hard pack, ice, and corn so far, and I was very happy with them. I'm sure they will shine even more when we get some soft stuff.

              Great Skis! Great service!

              UPS had damaged my new skis.
              Replacement skis were shipped right away, and they're beautiful. The bindings are also life changing.

              Best outdoor gear I've ever bought.

              Bomb proof!

              East coast skier here with a downhill alpine racing background; I’ve been skiing for almost as long as I could walk. I initially picked up telemark skiing in college to try something new and haven’t looked back!

              I made the switch to NTN with a used pair of Rottafella Freerides which had much more spring and energy in the transitions compared to the traditional 75mm beater set I had been using. Unfortunately while skiing out west, I snapped the baseplate off of the ski after a tumble. I turned on my ADHD superpowers and did extensive research on a new pair of telemark skis and bindings.

              Enter Bishop! I ended up going with the Chedi as I will mostly be doing east coast skiing, but want the flexibility to take it steep and deep. I have friends with uphill setups that venture in the backcountry, so I went with the BMF-R for the flexibility, though currently I mostly do resort skiing. From the moment I opened the box, I knew these bindings were special. These bindings are hefty, rigid, and badass! I left the spring-stiffness as-is and took them out the next day.

              The bindings pair perfectly with the Chedi and the stiffness is in between the Freerides and a traditional 75mm. Super easy to step-in and out of (I use the handle of my pole to not scratch the aluminum). I felt like I could charge and carve with parallel race turns (“Paramark”, I’ve been told) and drop the knee at speed to carve with 100% torsional stability. I felt locked in. The weight and stiffness reminded me of a pair of race skis with a titanium race plate. The Chedis were stable at high speeds and will respond, carve, and stay on-edge if you put your weight into the turn. Hands-down these are the most fun I’ve had on the mountain on telemark skis!

              Haven’t tried in anything deep yet, but I’m looking for any excuse to get out and ski these again, so I’m sure it won’t be long.

              Woooooweeee! Get 'em Basil.
