Hey I might be interested in those. I just got a pair of Fischer 78s. How much to ship to Northern California?

I just ordered the 78s in 99 length. Maybe I’ll get the 88s next year. I’m still not sure which length is best since Fischer says I should have gotten them in 89 but no matter — I’m just glad i was able to find some at all this year.

On the other hand... my current skis are the 2010 Madshus Glittertind, 200 cm (68/55/62), which are great in the right conditions. So maybe I should get the Excursion 88s to provide the biggest difference from the Glitts. Basically just looking for a decent all-around ski.

How did you decide on the 199 length for the 78s and 88s? I just got a pair of Alpina Alaskas and am looking for a new set of skis. I can find the 78s in 199 but not 189, and the 88s in 189 but not 199. I weigh 180 lbs buttnaked, so maybe around 190+ geared up, but according to the size chart I shou...

If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to test both pairs of Alaskas in some snow this weekend rather than just walking around my house in them (not sure I want to outdoor test the Alfas if I need to return them). In limited testing at home, it seems like the size 43 Alaska with 2 pairs of socks might be the be...

As luck would have it, both pairs of Alaskas arrived today. Does anybody know how much they might stretch? The 42s feel pretty good in the heal and are slightly longer than the Alfas, but the toe box feels tight. I’m wondering if that might stretch out a little. The 43s feel good in the toe box but ...

Dknox - are you still looking for these used skis? I have a pair that might work for you.

They are Alpina Discovery
180cm length

68/60/65mm

FWIW, these are my BCX6:

Thanks for the info lilcliffy. I ended up ordering a pair of Alaskas in 42 from REI too. I think both pairs of Alaskas should be here later this week so I’ll be able to compare all 3 boots at my house before picking 1 to keep. My current boots are Fischer bcx6, size 42, but older ones from 10+ years...

Greetings - longtime lurker here. Just want to say thanks for all the great info on this site. Also, I recently ordered a pair of Alfa Guards from Telemark Pyrannees in size 42 but they seem a little short. Heal fits perfectly. In the meantime, REI has gotten the Alaska BCs back in stock so I have j...
