How about comparing the Rossi XP120 to the Madshus Panorama M78? They're both cheaply made (the M78 is made in China). They're both lightweight. They both have fish scale bases. I had my beat up old Annums out yesterday, in the foot-deep snow we just got here in SE NY state. Those skis definitely ha...

It's now 2024 and I see a lot of shops are selling this XP 120 ski for $479. I like that it comes in 180cm length. Weighing in at about 7 lbs/pair (3200g) and with a waist width of 90mm but at the same weight, it looks like competition to the good old Ultravector BC, but $200 less expensive. True, t...

Fey Bros/Telemarkdown hooked me up with replacement Cuff Hardware, and at a reasonable price to boot.

Yay!

Ah... "Cuff pivot". Thank you.
I've emailed both Telemarkdown and Freeheel Life.

Fingers crossed...

My favorite Crispi CXP boots had a breakdown today. The river/pivot thing (I don't know what it's called) popped out of the boot today on the ski hill, and the parts were lost. BrokenCuff_CrispiCXP.jpg Can anyone tell me what the missing part is called? Anybody have ideas on how to fix this? PS - I ...

> What I really want is a telemark version of their f1 lt at boot. Hear! Hear!

A friend of mine was wearing Crispi Svartisen boots with Voile 3-Pin Cable bindings on his Madshus Eon skis (same skis are now called Madshus Panorama M68). I talked him into switching to a pair of Garmont Telesaurus and his skiing was transformed! We were skiing inbounds at Berkshire East late last...

BUMP because yeah, I'd get a couple of stickers for my car and maybe to put on a ski. Maybe a helmet? Somewhere.

Hey all -- In case you've been wondering (yeah, right), I now have more details on how the Ripstick 96s compare to my other skis, and how the mounting point question has worked out... First, mounting point: I followed everyone's advice and went with boot center on center mark on ski. It still feels ...

Rotte ST+hardwire on risers with T4 boots sounds like a great combo.

I always mix up telemark and parallel turns, depending on where I am, how I'm feeling and what conditions are like.
