Hello Åsnes ski enthusiasts ❄ How do people feel about their Åsnes waxless skis? From the reviews I've read it seems the waxless skis as a standalone solution (without skins) have been lack luster. Hardly any of the reviewers on here appear satisfied with their grip uphill, with some resorting to u...

I would start with a ski similar to the S112 or S98. Its a waxless ski, reasonably priced, has very durable kicker ez skins. I have skiied 200+ days on them and have become a decent skiier. These fischer skis have very little camber and the waxless pattern makes the ski very slow, but easy to contr...

Any reason my Voile Switchbacks wont work with my Alico Ski March? I get that's an oversized binding for a leather boot - just wondering if the tension on the boot would destroy it sooner? I don't see why they wouldn't work. You just want to adjust the tension to be suitable for the softness of tho...

I will assume my comment will be approved.. so here is an accompanying photo of "center" mounted (or nearly, as in some were earlier and not fully committed)

Hey, that quiver looks familiar.

Are you guys getting any snow right now in the Bethel area?

So, seems like the Vagabonds are significantly stiffer than the Hypervectors at least (not sure how that translates to the Ultravectors). Am I correct in assuming that generally greater stiffness correlates with better K&G performance but presents more difficulty going downhill? If that's the case,...

Had them for several years, and think I'm very happy with them (haven't really compared with anything else)...but now the patterned part of the base is delaminating and pulling off (It is a separate piece, made from a different material than the sintered base.) Is this replaceable? Can I glue the o...

Has anyone see this happen before? I'm going to replace it one more time (I already have the binding) but I'm switching my boot to an old pair of Asolo Extreme's from the '90s. I suspect that the bend of the T4 bill is causing a constant pressure on the clamp causing it to break. The bend of the bo...

That is fantastic, and it looks like it actually works, too...

Anyone want to try skiing in bowling shoes?

So overall I am increasingly impressed with the X-skin system to cope with "warmer than Swix Blue" conditions as opposed to waxless. The main downside I find is on very hard and icy snow, the plastic attachment pushes the front of the ski off the snow and makes it much more squirrely. That may be a...

Most of Tripoli Road looked like this today. Great to get out there before the rain gets the last of the snow.
