Re: REI dumping ALFA boots

I wish someone from REI would post a response. The Asnes and Madshus skis that they have carried in the past are also missing in action. Alfa's boots have always been at a premium and I think you really have to be a dedicated skier to appreciate the difference between the Alfa Free and a Fischer BCX...

Re: Alfa Skaget Xplore boot disintegrate

I thought I'd just add another data point. Here is the wear on my Alfa Free's (red sole) and Alfa Vista (black sole). I track all my ski outings with a Garmin GPS. Last year was my first year skiing the Vista, and the Free's have a couple of season's use. I don't keep track of the mileage on each bo...

Re: Alfa Skaget Xplore boot disintegrate

This happened after two uses and a total of maybe 17 miles. 17 miles? That kind of damage for a couple day's use just doesn't seem possible. Please post back after you have skied your new Skagets a few times. Is it possible that you might have stepped into a petroleum product spill at a gas station...

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!

Thank you @Tom M for the Google Earth tutorial. I got my Skin Track route for this year all ready to go. Wish Goog had a layer with Topo lines. Krummholz As a followup to my previous post. The topo maps used from Earthpoint are pretty old and not very high resolution. There is another way to do thi...

Re: Skis with mis-matched Camber - Keep or Return?

My Traverse 78's are mismatched as well. I put a water bottle on the higher ski and added water to see how much weight it would take to make the camber compress to the other ski, around 450 ml. My Traverse 78's were purchased in the fall of 2022 and were manufactured in the Czech Republic. 20231202_...
