Re: The Åsnes Thread (News for 2020-2021!)
WOW. The photo on the cover of the 2021 Asnes Catalogue is breath-taking! Thank you for all of the great information Crister! The Sverdrup ski is very interesting- The elusive "50/50" xc/d- XC ski! Many have tried to get this right- The Fischer Rebound/Atomic Rainier- The Fischer E-109 Xtralite- (t...

Re: The Åsnes Thread (News for 2020-2021!)
I absolutely love the Kongsvold ski! I have dogs, so in my recreational time, this is a ski I use very much. Both the Breidablikk (steel-less Ingstad) and the Kongsold are the two most used skis in my Nordic BC quiver because I have a dog. Thoughts on XPLORE on a more XC oriented ski such as breida...

#6/7: The new Falketind 62 will get a few small updates. It will be reinforced in the binding zone, a bit stiffer underfoot, and tuned to perform even better than before. It has been the No.1 ski we have tested the Xplore concept on, so we have tuned it to perform even better downhill. And, we adde...

Re: The new Rottefella XPLORE OFFTRACK Binding system
@Åsn@Åsnes1922 You have Asolo Extremes lied as a favorite boot. As it was mine back in th day, how would you compare the new Alfa boo to the old Extreme? OOOOhhh. That's a hard question. I don't think anything compares to the good old Asolos, but hey, that's just me. On the more serious note though...

Re: The new Rottefella XPLORE OFFTRACK Binding system
Really appreciate the insight. Two questions from me: Have you put crampons on the Alfa boots? With no welts, I’d assume you need a universal strap setup, but then I worry about pin interference. Maybe a toe unit could be made for the pins, but with no heel welt, the only option would be a kind of ...

Re: The new Rottefella XPLORE OFFTRACK Binding system
riel, I agree 100% with the need of longer and stronger fishscales on double camber åsnes skis. I have Finnmark WL 210cm, and they don't have decent grip even for flats. Yes, I know they are intented fo a heavier skier than me (80kg),and I was not expecting much, but I have other waxless skis with ...

Re: The new Rottefella XPLORE OFFTRACK Binding system
Hi Crister @Åsnes1922 Awesome that new skis are coming! Thanks for the heads up! Questions: Have other boot manufacturers committed to the Xplore system? The Sverdrup set look enticing, how would the camber and flex profile compare to the Nansen, Ingstad and Combat skis? I see that they have rocker...
