Had my first short tour on the Nansens. Weather was good - sunny and veeeery warm. There were up to 20“ of fresh snow. It looked like perfect powder. But instead it was perfect for forming huge balls of snow to roll down into the valley. It was almost impossible to turn the skis in the deep, wet, an...

Aren’t you always responsible for others who got into trouble? Not in the meaning of being guilty for other people’s suffering per se. But in the meaning of helping everyone else who got into trouble or an emergency situation. Hasn’t this always been a big part of living together and of being in nat...

@Mattafix , it may be too late but I got a new pair of Objective BC in 174cm at Skinny Skis in Jackson, WY for under $400 a month ago. It was not their only pair. They do ship. :D Sadly, my knees can’t get better. But, through a lot of time in the gym and religiously wearing my rigid, Donjoy braces...

I should have mentioned in my previous post that I weigh about 185lbs and my M 68s are around 185s. They glide fine for me and wouldn't want them any longer. They are easy turning skis. From your first post it sounds like we have the same goals, being primarily about the decent. The difference is t...

Thank you all, guys for your help and information. I ordered a Nansen WL in 195 at TP. Thank you @pacificnomad for coming up with this idea!
Now I can think about how to go on to fill the remaining gaps in my quiver. But first of all, I’m really looking forward to skiing the Nansens

@fisheater Lilcliffy already got me like absolutely wanting a Nansen. Your vote for them even more!

aclyon Ok,ok 8-) Seems like I really have to test the Fischers before judging them! Thank you for your opinion on the Madshus. I’ve got skating skis from this company and they’re holding up well for a looong time already despite using them a lot and not treating them very kindly. And they’re fast! ...

I’d love to test one. But more likely I’ll just buy a Falketind blindly (after a Nansen and an Endeavour/Objective) because everyone praises it. Can’t be wrong

@Mattafix , I too am 'waiting' on a scaled FT62. Given this year's conditions in Northern Utah (warmer than normal but freezing at night) I've found myself using the FT62 a lot more than the Voile Objective BC that I usually use more. Both are mounted Xplore and I mostly ski them with Lundhags Abis...
