Re: BC Wax to Skins mod: question to short skin users

I've tried to keep with the plan and route middle section of base leaving few mm on both sides near the edges. Because ski was quite old, base was already comming off the edge wall, so those narro...

Re: BC Wax to Skins mod: question to short skin users

I have no experience with skins. SkiTour seller told me that factory glue on skins should have very good adhesion. From what I can see on Youtube, mini skins for XC are aplicated with assistance of some extra heat - with heatgun (Madshus) or Ski iron (Salomon). There is also solution where skins are...

Re: Older Alpina Discovery Ski size chart

Ok, so I've just unpacked those Spider 62 skis. Bottom side is like after just few days on snow, crown is sharp, and one can see the original machine made structure along the gliding parts. Like I wrote before, if I won't find anything for my wife, will give them a try in January. Hope that after so...

Re: Older Alpina Discovery Ski size chart

Thank Your for very valuable replies.

Those are quite cheap but satsuma might be right. Alt...
