Re: How do you even go uphill?...

It finally ‘warmed’ up enough (-23C) to get some decent grip with Polar today. I swear the Green Mans grin got a little wider when we were out playing this afternoon.

Re: Åsnes Nansen Waxless

Wonder if this is the ski that would be more beneficial for my singletrack insanity that I do on occasion. Some grip for going up (frequent yoyoing), a little softer for when I attempt hairpins (often involving a wipeout) and other tight turns. The Gammes started this and are great on straight stret...

B-Grade skis from Varuste

I’ve noticed Varuste advertising B Grade skis- does anyone know anything about these? Is it simply cosmetic? Or something more?

Re: The Alberta XCD thread

Skiing is a challenge in this part of the country this year. We had -50 w/windchill this morning. The extended forecast is indicating +2 and rain in 7 days. I might have to add a pair of scaled skis to the arsenal, figuring out wax has been a P.I.T.A.

Re: Fischer Traverse Boots for Xplore Binding

I quite like that boot. It really drove my Green Man last year and I’m very curious as to how they’re going work with some of my other skis this year…especially interested in seeing if they’ll push my Rossi BC 120 wax ski.

Re: XPlore boots comparison

Hey John, I’m liking the fit of the Pro, they move with me, not against me. I’d almost call it a supple feeling. What’s interesting is there’s no sense of sloppiness in the fit or movement of this boot…they’re supportive and responsive as well…they’re the ski boot version of my VivoBareFoot Tracker ...
