Thank you guys for all your wisdom and shared experiences! I am not quite sure how to proceed now. The skis are meant for getting into the backcountry on groomed tracks and then head out in the unprepared areas and back. So a Mountainrace would make perfect sense. I have some Madshus Endurace Classi...

Hey there Lurk-People, I try to get myself a pair of Åsnes Mountain Race Skis if I find a good end of season discount somewhere. I am 1.80 m and 75 Kg (naked) - which size would you get? Asnes says 1.90m what do you say? I will use the Ski at the Swiss Jura Mountainrange where there is a combination...

Hei Peter, spot on :) I've seen this vid before, it's a great one! I'd say we're evenly matched skill wise (Yet I have no video of my own to back it up ;) ). You can see at 0:22 how he's tippy toed in his skate boot, and this is how I solve the turn as well. This is another interesting use case. Ha...

I've been challenging myself to do teleturns with racing equipment, to a point where I can ski easy to intermediate alpine tracks in soft conditions on this equipment (fun, but not recommended). telemarius Is that you, Marius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuPrVub9bEo Mange hilsener fra Sveits, P...

Mounting is super easy. They come with TORX screws. 5 holes in each ski. And the coolest thing is that you can use 2 holes from your previous NNN-BC mount and still be around pin line... 8-) Oh, also... FWIW, I don't even bother with 2 of the screws... I just don't use them. I feel like 3 screws is...

And here are the new members of the gear family:

Transnordic Leather Boot (very sturdy)

Now it is time to practise in good BC conditions and in resorts weeeeeeee.

Conclusions: 1) Is BC55 more like a Gamme copy than old Glittertind rebranded? 2) I guess the BC55 is similar for downhill as Gamme because it has similar sidecur and nordic rocker. Thanks for the neoprene bootie tip, too! I have broad but rather low feet, and 1.5 euro sizes oversize boots for conv...

By the way, if you’re lighter maybe an Objective would suit you better. At my 190 lbs. 86 kilos, I think the longest Objective is just too short for me. fisheater thank you for your reply. As for the Voilé Objective - you would use it in ski resorts? Or as an overal xcD training machine? Cheers, Pe...

@Peschamel out of curiosity, do the BC55's have nordic rocker? I mean when you press the skis together at center of ski, do ski tips go farther away from each other? This just out of curiosity :) / "for science @tkarhu I allowed myself to answer your question with a little video. https://youtu.be/H...

Thank you Matt for your suggestion - I absolutely see your point. There is one problem for me: I have low volume duckfeet with narrow heels and I always struggle to find boots that have a wide toebox but are small enough that I can fix my heel properly. So I would need exactly the right and custom f...
