First let me say I wholly understand decision pain. I literally can't sleep at night when I'm deciding. Also @Wooderson et al are dropping the science and inside knowledge here, so I have little to add, and luckily these aren't my skis – so I fearlessly say go for the longer ones. -5cm won't change ...

I wonder if the skins left some residue? This is maybe the best bid so far... and maybe some melted snow underneath recrystallizing? I remember putting climbing skins on top of the skins on my Mountain Race Skins in cold weather and they really damaged both mohair and glue, a propos of maybe nothing.

Amazing. Congratulations. Really! Can't wait to see what they're like!

Happy New Year to all! Hey, Mr Musk Ox, did you get sent to Denmark for ski lessons? It seemed funny from lightly dusted southern Michigan!

@lilcliffy, great update on the FTX. I “should” be out XC skiing, but have a pass at the local hill and keep getting distracted with my NTN setups!

I remember this day as if it was yesterday.

LOOK EVERYONE IT'S A BABY MUSK OX!!!!!!!!

Winter -24/-25’s xcD season started at Kilpisjärvi in the ”arm” of Finland. Nosi 172 with Alpina Alaska and Rottefella Supertele Cable. I like that combination a lot. Short Nosi floats better than my wife’s (10 kg lighter than me) 180 cm Falketinds. It is also much easier to turn in Scandianvian ty...
