Re: Looking for advice on equipment trying to figure this out
However, bear in mind that the “cable” is a actually a steel rod. I’m not sure why Rottefella persists in calling it a three pin cable. I guess Voile has a lock on “hardwire”. Whatever, it skis really well.

Re: Eastern pennsylvania xcd spots?
Interesting heel pieces on those Insanes Al. They look quite “rustic”.

Re: Johnny, Pierre, and the beast. Or the new Telemark Tech Norm (TTN) vs the future of XCD (NTN-BC)
Tom, I suspect it is just like a tech binding in reverse, once you’re in you’re in with no adjustment. Maybe there is an uphill/lock in setting like tech bindings, but I suspect not, given the proposed usage. My thought is, after skiing TTS bindings, is that it could be a much more solid base for do...

Re: Johnny, Pierre, and the beast. Or the new Telemark Tech Norm (TTN) vs the future of XCD (NTN-BC)
I’m intrigued to know how well this concept will work. When I first looked at the rendering I thought it was a bumper to sit in front of the boot like NNN BC. However, thanks to Fish’s eagle eye, I looked again at the boot sole and realized it was under the front of the boot. I would love to try it....

Re: Wide and waxless.
I think the wide wax less skis come in two flavours. The Fischer’s, Rossignol and Madshus are basically wide “cross country” skis. Their ski construction is less substantial so they don’t handle downhill so well in more difficult snow conditions. Voile Vector and Objectives on the other hand are “do...

Re: Ski base cleaner formula
GloPstopper is like any wax. The abrasion of skiing will wear it off.

Re: Åsnes Borge Ousland BC Ski Review
Just watched that movie again after many years. One part of the introductory session on body position mirrors telemark.skier’s suggestion on EYT/backcountry talk forum to “drive your hips forward” to achieve an upper body position with weight “evenly” on both skis. The other mantra I like is “sink d...

Re: Åsnes Borge Ousland BC Ski Review
Yes I get what your saying Fred and Gareth. In a way it’s the opposite of the advice I got from Dickie Hall in one of his tele camps at Mount Baker. That advice was, at the start of the turn, to step the uphill ski backwards, rather than drive the downhill ski forwards. That works well for single ca...
