How would you classify the new NNN BC Alfa Guard Advance? Would that be an extreme boot? and if not any Alfa boots in the extreme category? I am trying to decide between staying with my Madshus Glitterind NNN BC (and buying new pairs every year) or biting the bullet and paying up for those amazing A...

thanks! glad to know that these conditions are tough...perhaps that explains the few people that were up there yesterday (with heavy AT setups and wide fat boards)... I may have fallen more times yesterday than I did all of last season.

I went out and skiied this afternoon in warm temps. thin breakable crust (created by high winds from last night) with deep wet heavy snow underneath. The poles sink all the way in.

I live in Alaska and have been skiing on 169cm s112 with NNN BC bindings and madshus glittertind boots for 3 seasons. it is really slow on flat approaches but not bad on steep terrain. I am 5'8" and 145 lbs. I am going to try try some glide wax on the warmer days which will help. I regularly climb 1...

Got the boots last month. Noticeably better downhill performance vs. Fischer OTX 5 boots (these fit me well but they start to tear after 1 season!). Plastic strap on the left boot broke the first time out but its now shorter and not a problem. I really like the stiffness and downhill ability, I can ...

I am interested. I will email you

If you still have the Rabb 68, I am interested in buying.

Thanks
