Re: Made my own skis…mounting advice?

Re: 75mm binding too wide for my boot

As you stated previously, the fit may not matter much for the intended use on the asnes woodies in mostly flat terrain. I tend to agree. Look at nnn bindings. No sidewall there.

Re: 75mm binding too wide for my boot

I wasn't aware the old 3 pins came in different sizes, so I had a look at some of mine. To my surprise, my old gresshoppa kwikkstepps say small narrow, my troll 3 pins say small xx and my skiloms say medium. A quick measurement does show the skiloms to be wider.

Re: Wooden skis

Greg is the wood nordic ski guru in the u.s. He gives an accurate description of his skis. I would reach out to him concerning sizing of skis.

Re: Wooden skis

Most wood skis are not very stiff cambered, so I would probably go with the 215's. I am 6' 190#, and normally ski 210. I do have 1 set of woodies that are 205 and really don't notice any difference.

That being said, my skiing is a different style fom mosttelemarkers. Mostly touring through woods with moderate downhi...
