On youtube, I see lots of marketing bull about nordic BC skis. The presenters never talk about camber (height and stiffness) nor are talking about overall flex, nor nordic camber... I am amazed. Marketing is almost never product oriented... I was a little angry at one video made by Fischer about the...

Like those rants of yours Woods... Keep them coming! Concerning your interrogation, I think that most people that buy those skis will still ski at the resort most of the time; skiing in the BC is demanding (COVID might have or will change things though). It is probably a design compromise; I can hea...

They are called Scarpa Fabiano... You might find more info with the full name. Never skied them. I remember GreatGT talking about them — saying something nice. If they fit, man, it is a no brainer. Take em. You *might* need to take care of the plastic shank in the sole — after so many years it becom...

Ahhh Casino, Robert De Niro and Al... Very good film. Better than all that Warren Miller crap...

I know you are somewhere in Norway (I assume you know the language); did you search on the norwegian side of the net? I tried «asnes rovdyr ski» (I allow you to laugh at me!); of course, I saw skiers and wolfs...

Some skis from the pre-internet era do not have much to tell.. But it is tempting!

Cecilie & Nansen = exact same ski... Cecilie is available in smaller size (+ a little marketing extra note).

Hum, good discussion you are starting here... I know for sure that you need to be more agressive when you unweight a ski that has higher camber; tips and tail tend to hook onto the snow. Then, why designing a ski with higher camber (with same camber, weight wise)? My take on this, is that it is prob...
