Oh yeah - there's that too.

I think either the Eon 62 (195) or Traverse (189) would be okay with NNNBC bindings. Since you have a stocky build, you'll probably eliminate some boots on fit (narrow lasts, cuffs, built-in gaiters, etc. could potentially be issues). Best to try boots on before buying.

That expedition site is quite something. I want to go! Yeah - I came across the expedition site first. Then I started wondering where they got the bindings... They looked new, but when was the last time you saw ski shops selling cable bindings like that? I know that in Canada the dominant Nordic sk...
