My partner was given a pair of these and she skied them modestly for 3 years or so.

I think you are referring to the Madshus Glittertind boot. Thanks for the info. Have you any experience with this boot? I was at a shop in Calgary and they carry BCXC gear, and the rep helping me had said they don’t carry Alaska’s because when they first came out they were no good. He then preceded...

FWIW - I’m also a noob and have been having a BLAST on my simple set up.... Madshus Eon 195cm WAXLESS with a NNNBC AUTO binding. I am 5’10 and 170lbs.I’ve been skiing cut blocks, FSRs, looping trails around lakes, traversing a mountain and then skiing down (gently). And for a first set up I’m quite ...

Hey all, I started skiing this winter and wanted to share some pictures of my adventures. The stoke is real, and I’m loving backcountry Nordic skiing, and making attempts at tele turns.

David, where are you located??

I am looking for one ski/boot combo that can “do it all”. I’m not getting into ski touring, nor XC in tracks.... ungroomed, fresh snow. Our trails will be mostly FSR, Bush, rolling hills, ungroomed, in the trees. I will be solo, with my partner, or in our small group of four. I would like to do long...

I must admit this is a foreign thing for me to be posting in a forum asking for help! But after my searching I keep finding my way here..... I live in the Okanagan/Kootenay boundary of British Columbia, Canada, in a small ‘village’ called Cherryville. Where FSR, cut blocks, rolling hills and unreal ...
