Re: Alfa Vista Boot Review

Howdy I got some time on my Vistas. So far great boot. But I did get blisters on a wierd part of my heels. They are the right size and next size up would be too much heel lift and next size down my toes would curl. I’m thinking about taking the boots to a shoe store and having them stretched. Good o...

Re: Ski Review: 2018-2019 Fischer Traverse 78

I’ve got the new version of the 78. Overall great ski, still getting use to it for strengths and weaknesses. One thing I found out today is the ski sure submarines in deep snow. My buddy on Voiles floated by me and I just sank in the snow. I’m running the longest length. This ski I find it a unique ...

Re: New TTS and Old F3's, Mounting point?

Mount them boot center according to Voile chart. I have the Ultravectors bc and the new transit and F3s. They were mounted boot center. You should see a hash mark on your F3s for boot center. Waiting on more snow to test my transits!

Re: Prototype…

Good idea, however I’m with lemon defeats the purpose of the Xplore. But I honestly need more time on the Xplore to make a good determination if I prefer it over 3 pins and cartridges. If I am touring 90 percent on rolling terrian I would still prefer my Xplorer. But if my tour consists of bagging a...

Re: WTB: Voile UltraVector BC WHITE 171

Good luck. I’m sure no one is gonna sell theirs. I have a pair of 184s. My favorite ski. Just shell out cash and buy new before Voile discontinues that color.

Re: Rub on Wax review

Other rub on waxes I’ve tried is Mountain Flow and Oneball. Not memorable and ended up giving to a friend. 😂 Another tip for anyone curious is adding graphite for when you hot wax. Helps with glide in dirty spring snow and very dry cold powder. I’m sure there is better wax nerds that can explain gra...

Re: Rub on Wax review

On the web site. Butter is highly florinated. Race Rocket is mid florinated. If you read about what PFCs do to the environment and semi important organs like the liver and kidneys, you won’t use them. https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2022-04/ace3_perflurochemicals_updates_11_july_2019.pdf...

Re: Rub on Wax review

Howdy, Just want to do a quick review on some of the rub on waxes I’ve tried for my fish scales and tip and tails. Swix F4 Liquid - Easy to apply. Glides well in most conditions. Almost too slick climbing more condensed snow. Doesn’t last very long. Issues with snow globbing in spring wet snow. Tok...
