The finnish company Startex, who amongst other things produces Start ski wax, is apparently gone bankrupt.

I know that some here are fans of Start ski waxes. Stock em while you can...

I have a Thule Motion XT XXL on the roof. It fits a pulka and several pairs of 210 cm skis concurrently. 215 should fit according to specs The Motion 3 XXL, both in standard and low, are specified to fit 215 cm skis as well. My roof box basically lives on the car. It's so practical for extra luggage...

Es bleiben im Raum: Keitel, Jodl, Krebs und Burgdorf.
1) Downfall is a great movie.

I suspect the Norrona's cotton fabric is very similar if not the same as Ventile. I ski in a pair of Arcteryx ski-touring pants that were actually made in Canada, the last year they made them there- very durable and comfortable, might last forever. Norrøna selling unlabeled ventile at a third of it...

randoskier I'm not convinced that polycotton is cheaper than cotton to produce. I've used it quite extensively since being in the military (army fatigues were polycotton and subjected to a lot of abuse) and I find it more durable and quicker drying than pure cotton. Of course, any synthetics will c...
