Re: The new Rottefella XPLORE OFFTRACK Binding System Review

xcdnewb0313 thanks. I understand your thinking, but unless you’re often skiing in wet conditions, I’m not sure I would bother to remount? It is water resistant glue. But fine if you do. Just make sure the screws are clean, with no glue residue when you remount. And the trick to get the screws lined...

Re: First Time Out On 3-Pin FT62X!

JohnSKepler , I’m guessing if you don’t know what’s going on with the back foot, that you may be skiing with most of your weight on the front foot. That was the technique I came up with decades ago to get 220cm woodies to turn. Since transitioning to current equipment (anything from Mountain Race 4...

Re: Asnes Ingstad BC Sizing (second try)

I’ve ended up with way too many skis because it’s hard for me to accept limitations and each ski can be defined to be particularly good in a particular set of conditions. That being said, if you want to test the waters with one ski this year, I’m tempted to recommend the Falketind 62. It’s a decent ...

Re: The new Rottefella XPLORE OFFTRACK Binding System Review

… Should I have used epoxy instead? If so can I remove the screws and use the same holes with epoxy instead of wood glue? Or should I drill new holes? If I have to drill new holes to use epoxy should I mount the binding forward or backwards of the current holes and by how much? I don’t see any answ...

Re: Asnes Ingstad BC Sizing (second try)

Hi Chris, Kneedle Drop , not sure if you have completely decided to hold off for now, or if you’re just not certain what ski would be the best match for what you’re looking for. If you’re still wanting a ski besides the Hoks, maybe you can post a more detailed description of what you want to do with...

It's funny watching Dostie fume at that guy. Like, wtf is wrong with posting relevant material on a public forum? I enjoy the content. Personally I find way more value in watching telehiro shred on lightweight gear than any single skier on heavy tele NTN gear

Re: Moving from G3 Targa Ascent to => ?

JoF , might depend on the mix of tour vs resort. NTN is going to probably give you a better resort experience, although some might not agree. For me, about similar dimensions (except 175#), I’m on 29.5 TX Pro (size 47 Alfa Guard NNN BC Boot, for reference), Meidjo 3 for resort, and I guess what’s c...
