Re: Peltonen Metsä Step 270
@Theme So just for clarity on binding this 270cm ski: 270 x 0.455 = 122.85. So the center of the boot should be 122.85cm from the back of the ski, and 147.15cm from the tip - then incorporating the 3cm accommodation for the stiffer tip, results in boot center being 119.85cm from the back and 150.16...

Re: Peltonen Metsä Step 270
Unfortunately this softer camber doesn’t allow for any energy storage like I’ve found in the MR48, Gamme, or USGI. I did find myself wondering if there would be any benefit to stiffening this ski up a bit, some of that energy derived from more camber could be useful. Low camber enhances stability a...

Re: Peltonen Metsä Step 270
I wonder what the pros/cons of the Peltonen Metsä vs Altai Kōm for trail-breaking are. It would be fun to do a head-to-head race... Peltonen can handle much deeper snow, less resistance and better float. It is a distance ski for soft snow, where short and wide skis sink with each step. Definitely n...

Re: Alpina Pioneer PI Pro Vital XP Discoverer XPLORE boots Review 2022
Any long term experience with the alpina Alaska Pioneer Pro, mainly regarding durability? My left boot started to fall apart after 20km of use. At the flexing point near toes, glue between black rubber and leather game apart and the rubber is torn torn now. Good thing I only paid 200€, but it is ha...

Re: 2024 Alpina Pioneer TECH XP Backcountry/Telemark ski boot review XPLORE
Alpina accepted my warranty claim on this, but they will not ship a new pair to Norway where I would need these. 500km out of 2700km done this far, of which 400km skiing with this pair

Re: Question for the Pulkers
So, my experience of trains in Sweden is that you cannot just load the pulk full and call it good. A couple smaller separate bags help to pack the contents safely in the train. This does make an argument for a paris pulk -style solution which in itself is somewhat easy to fit in the trains too. A ro...

Re: Madshus Panorama Explorer Boots
I tried these in a shop. If you had Alfa 41, Madahus 41 fits. About as spacious. I did not experience heel lift (I have horrible heel lift on Alaska XP and some on Pi Pro) The brace does help, although I am not a fan either. Longevity wise, I cannot comment on these boots. Crispi Futura XP would be ...
