This is what happens when MBA graduates proceed to middle management. They are not good at finding problems, so they just start making solutions in hopes of merit. The ski companies all seem to work with pretty impressive athletes to find problems and improve their products. However, the top athlet...

Trying to decide on length. I am 5'11 and 175 without gear or pack. Would use for short tours (light daypack/Camelback) near Steamboat, CO. Leaning towards 200cm as that is what my E99's are that work well. I don't have great K & G technique. Thoughts from the group? I know some of.you have both le...

Maybe we can ask Åsnes to make a GMTO (Group Made To Order)? Keep the Gamme spec but with a longer waxless base pattern than the regular Åsnes WL. Then drop the current graphics and make it more inline with Combat Nato or MT51. ”The Telemark Ski”? How many are interested? //Rickard// I am intereste...

Looks like they are skipping the EXPLORE binding big splash? Eih, actually, maybe not: "There are models available with three different sole standards, so the right tool is available for every job." hint hint That could be 75mm, NNN, and NNN-BC? Having said that, a BCX6 Xplore could be nice :)

The site says 169mm should be for under 145lbs, which is right, but seems short. Those skis have a pretty stiff camber. In length 189cm they are stiff enough for somebody weighing 210lbs.

I have a Traverse 78 in 169mm waiting for pickup for me at REI -- trying to decide if I should give those a try, or opt for something like an Sbound 98...can't figure out what the extra $$ for an Objective BC would get me? I'm mainly concerned with being able to safely make some tight turns downhil...

Hey Johnny- What are your thoughts on the Asnes scales versus Fischer's Off-track Crown? After getting the first 40 or so miles on my waxless Ingstads, I think I have an opinion here. The Asnes scales can work as well as the scales on my Fischer and Alpina skis, but only if I carefully place the sk...

Instead of answering I will muddy the waters further. When I have good grip (and usually glide as well) I actually launch my back foot off the ball of foot. When I am slipping a bit the launch is off a centered and flat back foot. Since I try to keep my knees flexed, I glide on my front ski, knee f...

Yeah... The Nordic Rocker thingy does make things weird from a XC perspective- especially on consolidated snow... The XC performance related to the mounting point of a non-rockered Nordic touring is very straightforward. But- a ski with Nordic rocker has a shortened glide surface on consolidated sn...
