Re: Bindings for old guy
Old guys are divided into curmudgeons who cling to their 75 mm duckbill and poseurs who have gone NTN.

I didn't realize adding smear to your gear was a good thing!

Re: Pre-WWII Ski film director a BBC piece
The most famous participant in these films -- then as an actress - was Leni Riefenstahl, and she, of course, has her own history with the Third Reich. Many of the films are available on DVD and the footage is very impressive for the time. Her autobiography is worth reading just for her descriptions ...

Re: Which skis for multi-days expedition? Voile V6? Rossi BC100?
IMO you should go lighter on the boots and wider on the skis. Are you going to be kick waxing? If not, fishscales are much faster than skins. Kicker (half) skins are much faster than full length skins. A fishscale ski may not give enough grip to pull a pulk but a kicker skin will. Stepping down to a...

Re: Looking for advice on equipment trying to figure this out
I'm surprised by some of the preceding recommendations of relatively narrow skis. First, it's three PIN, not point. There are three pins in the binding that go into holes in the front of the boot, held down by the clasp outside. The Rossi BC 70 is a decent ski and, when you get better ski balance, y...

Re: Argh Can't decide which 75 mm binding for Vectors
That's a good point. I took the bulldogs off the ski I'm retiring today (Jak BC). I previously had switchbacks on them. Just one set of holes. I hadn't remembered that.
I think the rearward mounting makes lazy GS turns easier. Not so good for quick turns.

Re: Argh Can't decide which 75 mm binding for Vectors
I often see skis where I think the binding has been mounted two or more inches back of where it should be. I think this is a "thing" but don't know why.lowangle al wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 8:45 amThey looked far forward to me but they ski great. They feel perfectly balanced especially after skiing the original vector.

Re: Argh Can't decide which 75 mm binding for Vectors
I don't have the Vector but the Objectives that I mounted with SB. I almost always use the ski setting as it offers more resistance than the touring setting. With the ski setting it feels like I can better transfer my energy to the ski for better "glide". Also I have the waxable version and with th...
