Re: Base Repair!

The P-tex sticks can actually be ignited.

The tricky thing about a repair in the groove is that you will need to remove excess P-tek to make a curved surface. Probably you will need to grind with a Dremel tool. It's easier to deal with the flat part of the ski, although also more critical.

Re: Pictures, pictures and pictures!

Snow started in mountains here again. Hopefully, it will stick around this time. This is from a webcam at about 4400 feet.

Re: Asnes Waxless Skis?

There is some technology involved in making wasless skis as opposed to waxable. Asnes clearly has not made a large effort to develop this technology internally. Madshus previously also emphasized waxable skis, but from writing here, appears to have made significant progress with its MGV+ pattern and...

Re: Shims for Alpina Alaska 3-pin

I am not sure I understand the problem, but you should look at "Smiley Plates." Akers ski (www.akers-ski.com) sells them.
