Re: Old Silvretta freeheel binding?

It has been a very long time since I have skied or seen a Silvretta cable binding. I skied two different sets, one with the plate and one without the plate, both with "mountaineering boots" and with leather alpine boots. If I recall, they came in a couple of different sizes to accommodate large and ...

Re: S-bound 98 and Nansen vs. Rabb 68

Arobint Loved the Youtube clip. The S-Bound 98 is a great ski. Is it the perfect ski for all conditions, absolutely not, but for me it works on almost everything but ice. I've always skied mine with softer leather boots and that tends to be one of the limiting factors when trying to edge a ski. I d...

Re: Alpina Discovery 80 reviews?

My Asnes wooden skis may be similar to what Julie had. Some of those woodies can still be found surfacing in good shape on facebook locally here. I am assuming Julies was around 200CM as that was the tread back then towards longer skis. You were spot on, Julie's woodies were 200 cm. Here is the las...

Re: T4's or Alpha Free

I skied two generations of the T4's for at least a decade on wide XC skis, some were mounted with just a simple 3 pin, others were 3 pins with cables and hardwires, as well as downhill skis with the switchback X2. The T4 offers great support, but my feet suffered with blister problems that I just co...

Re: Alpina Discovery 80 reviews?

Tom I am wondering if Julie's go to Karhu Odyssey skis (67-55-60) @ 175 are similar to my still used Karhu XCD GTs at 205CM (62/52/58) full metal edge. They are a bit long for me but as you said survive your trip and somewhat narrower than Julie's I have never seen the Karhu with the 67 shovel befo...
