John_XCD i was thinking about a shorter Gamme, but I think you are probably spot on with the Amundsen. Why don’t you post your height and weight? Hopefully lilcliffy will respond. He has experience with the Amundsen, he has a family of Nordic skiers and may have experience with a shorter Amundsen a...

I have a Gamme in 210, and an Asnes MT 51 in 210 which I use for thin cover. The only thing the Gamme doesn’t do far better is fit in tracks Don’t discount what full steel edges will do for tracking on a snowmobile track. I would also surmise a steel edged Gamme turns better than a ski without edges...

I then mark pin line that distance from the boot center mark. Be sure to measure from the tail of the ski to the boot center ma...

We have decent winters some years, and other years it can be lean. Nordic skiing is somewhat limited by weather here, but the the junk e...

I have a lot of miles on my Alaska BC and more than a few years. I expect many more miles and years. Which is why it will be years before I see mysel...

My skiing season ended April 7, skiing the melting man made at Boyne Mt. I think the lift ticket was only $20!
No place in Michigan is above 2000 feet. We don’t have elevation extended winter.

I miss skiing! Thanks for the photos guys!

Rod, it’s nice when your woman is a skier, but when she carries the pack, that is living the life!

Looks very nice!

I remember the green ones, they were popular. 183 cm seems short, back then real men skied 204’s. However, you would probably want to go to a shorter softer flexing skis for Tele, maybe 190 cm. If you are a lighter guy, 183 cm may be okay. If you have them already, you have nothing to loose. If they...

Very nice! I wouldn’t mind finding another new old stock F-1. Those F-3 should be sweet!
