Re: I thought this was a Telemark/Cross Country Forum?

From past experience with BBS’s and chat rooms starting in the early 90s, I would say that this is one of best that has a very high S/N ratio that does not have a bunch of MODeratorS playing Wack-A-Mole with the trolls. I find it very civil and yes topics stray from time to time, but it could be a ...

Re: A few toys for sale...

Nobody here in Quebec wants a pair of 270cm Metsas? (I can't ship them, it would be too expensive...)

They are just THE COOLEST skis ever! But I don't really have much use for two pairs of 8-footers in the living room, one pair has to go or I'll get lynched... it's the law...

Re: Asnes Mountain Race 48 SKIN

I had NIS plates the first season only... Then came the advent of 700g NNN-BC boots the year after... Everything else became suddenly totally obsolete... Why bother with NNN or 75mm when you can have twice the power for half the weight? 8-)

Re: Mounting FT62X and MR48S with Xplore

It depends on your boots, your terrain, your feet length, your ski length, the amount of rocker on your ski, your body, your technique, your style and your taste. Start with pins at BP. Drill only two holes for the back screws. Then have fun and experiment. Then remount using the holes for the scre...

Re: Alpina Pioneer Pro Vital XP Discoverer XPLORE boots Review 2022

Thank you @Johnny for the review! These boots definitely are on the top of my list now. Insane weight, just insane. And even more control than the Alaska XP? Sold! Insane! That is the right word! Would you happen to have an update of the planned release of the boots? I do not really know how up-to-...

I've heard vague rumours that Fischer and possibly others could end up making boots with Xplore soles, perhaps from next (northern) winter, so maybe there might be hope eventually.
So far, the confirmed ones are the Fischer BCX Traverse and the Lundhags Abisku... 8-)
