Nitram, great news! It is awesome that you have found a combination that works for you. In my opinion, the purpose of the cable is to assist the boot in flexing at the ball of the foot, and to assist the skier in keeping the ball of the foot on the ski. Before NTN came out most skiers needed some c...

Good to hear you got out Nitram. Are the Zenith the same size as your Alaska? I bet with that strap not too tight, you could really make your old E-99 fly! May your snow be deep and dry, and the winds be gentle. They are about the same size, but the Zenith is a bit shorter and I had to adjust the s...

On devrait s’écrire en français ce serait plus simple ;) I don’t know the ski you already have but there is no doubt you would get a totally different ski with the E99 but if you are to use your new skis for offtrack skiing you might to choose a different ski. I never skied the Eon but you can get t...

Nitram, The Zenith sound really nice! I sure hope my luck holds with the Ski March, but it’s nice to know that the Zenith is superior in your eyes. However, what’s wrong with work boots??? I’ve been wearing work boots daily for over forty years! I never knew they weren’t comfortable? Don’t get me w...

Hi Santi, I had some spare time, the snow is not really interesting to ski..., so I found those that might be interesting to you... https://www.andrejac.com/skis-de-fond-fischer-e99-crown-xtralite.html?id=29127854 In the same store you can find Madschus Eon that Rod mentioned if I am not mistaken. W...

Hi, could someone comment on the Nosi camber ? Would It camber allow for effective use of the kick wax? Do you think It will go with nnn Bc magnum and Alfa guards? Greetings from Poland! Marcin I can’t comment directly about the Nosi, but I have skied the Rabb and i assume the camber is somewhat si...

I have looked to see what is available waxless. Åsnes waxless available at REI in grown man size. I think you can find an Excursion 88 or Traverse 78 in 199cm, I found one or two. So either a Nansen or Ingstad in 205 or one of the Fischer’s. I don’t think you will find an E-99 waxless. At your size...

Salut Rod,

Je cherche encore l’autruche

Je crois que c’est un “fake news”...

Tout de même pas cher pour un ski aussi rare... j’en ai jamais vu avant... j’ai vu dess bottes avec des becs de canard mais des fixations en autruche? Jamais!

From my own experience I suggest to do it as soon as possible. In 2016 I got a hernia in the spring and I waited until December to go for surgery. I actually had a good reason to wait as I am self employed and I happen to own a farm with my wife so getting a surgery during the growing season was not...

I skied once with boby13 and he had a heel riser with its NNNBC mounted FT62.

I suggest you PM him or maybe he is actually reading this post
