Awesome, thanks. Cooler weather has me thinking a lot about skiing now.

Great, thanks, sounds like 188s are the way to go.

Ha! I think the recommendations still stand! I'm liking the Alpina Alaska NNN-BCs now as my do anything boot. Don't love getting in the plastic AT boots and trying to learn Telemark to make that set up redundant. Plus trying to get out of the speedy lycra Nordic tracks and in to the BC more, making ...

I'll sheepishly admit I've got even more skis - Madshus Ultrasonics and a Dynafit Speedfit84 Alpine Touring setup. No dedicated Alpine downhill though!

Thanks all, leaning to 1. Gamme/Borge Ousland and 2. FT62. Yes, hard to hold to two skis . . . it's a slippery slope to more skis

@fisheater I'm looking at getting a pair of these, trying to figure out the right size. I'm 6'1" and my dry weight is 165lbs. For reference, I have Nansens at 190, I find they are too small and I'm going to try to sell them, should have gotten 195 or 200. In a madshus classic race ski 44mm waist I u...

Thanks for the offer re trade on Amundsens, they'd be right size, but I'm leaning to new Borge (light!) or maybe the MT51 suggested by Woodserson. I see you are in Rimouski! Vive la Quebec for skiing, wish I live...

I sometimes see the fun hypothetical discussion of the perfect ski for a quiver of one. Newish to backcountry/XCD in the last few years, I tried that with the Asnes Nansen. Good ski, but sadly I got it a bit too short being a newby to this (didn't account for extra weight of boots, clothes, backpack...

Just read your summer care guide. For steel edges, what are the correct angles to use for filing the base and sidewalls of Asnes Nansens? I do a decent amount of skiing with BC Magnum bindings on the Rabb 68 ski for example. And my Falketind 62's are mounted with Voilé Traverse bindings and is my "g...
