The key is to be in sync with your skis, let them do the work, ride them as opposed to driving them

^^^^ This.
This is one of the main secrets of the XCD doctrine...

it's the entire world that is curving around our skis as we Arc. Wow.... Ben.... This is absolutely beautiful... What a beautiful way to say it... Those few words are brilliant ... I like it a lot... Very high metaphysical content... These words are filled with such powerful tele spirits... You're ...

so what's the difference w/ Gamme? Softer tip and lighter weight? A few subtleties but yes that is the main difference... Seems like the Ousland is better for traditional XC - or an expedition ski that can do turns (unlike Amundsen). If you plan to make more turning descents is the Gamme still the ...

Can anyone comment on this year Rabb vs FT or simply on the FT? The new Rabbs are the same as last year. The redesign comment Crister made was referring to the old FT68, which is slghtly different from the current 68s. The Rabbs are *totally* different from the previous ST68 though... About the 62'...

I see no reason for not doing it... NNN-BC is much better than pins for XC skiing... And much better on the downhill too... They sure would make a nice skishoes / sliding setup... Don't expect to be able to make precise turns though, unless your 106 waisted skis are holy grail fatties under 5lbs... ;)

I'm not in the loop, but it looks like a company named Serket USA partnered with Icelantic to provide skis and has come up with a 'universal' binding to supply the USMC. Nice find Rongon... Absolutely beautiful military Iceland skis... Price is a bit steep at 800$ for 7.5lbs planks though... I gues...

you made me consider getting the WL version, but I don't want the drag and the noise that usually come with the scales ;) If your waxless skis are making noise, it means that you are doing something wrong. Either using them on the wrong type of snow, or skiing under unhygienic conditions (Other peo...

For example- Asnes' current Telemark binding mounting recommendations for their downhill skis is to mount at BP.

Hummm... Wrong, all the Asnes downhill skis have boot center marks on them...

Awesome skis... Much faster than the Ingstad... More versatile and smoother than the Gamme... Who else got a pair?
I know a few of you guys bought them this season... What do you think about the Ousland so far?

I gave my smooth Ingstads to Lilcliffy two years ago... I stick to the WL ones now and couldn't be happier...
The Magik Å pattern is amazing, perfect grip and glide even on cold snow... Happiness is a pair of waxless Asnes skis...
