So the skis fit inside the inflatable kayaks?

The other thing that is standard for kick waxing double-cambered XC classic skis is a binder. The binder to use is Vauhti Super Base: http://shop.caldwellsport.com/vauhti-base-binder-super/ The binder goes on a clean ski, before you apply the kick wax of the day. It doesn't have to be applied every ...

Looks like a good bit of sidecut on those, as XC skis go. Glad they're fun!

Hey all, I wanted to ask for more thoughts here on skis. I'm settled on an alpine-focused setup to start: going Meidjo 3 and Scarpa Tx Pro, and I'm trying to decide on lightweight fairly wide skis with around a 100 mm waist. The main reason is we have big mountains here and lots of snow, and my frie...

Haha, especially if the snowshoer is followed by a dog walker post-holing every step!

As an experienced XC "inbounds" skier I will second the others saying, yes, jerk move. The tracks look quite wide at the top so maybe it appears your skis were fitting, but anything over 65mm ish is not going to fit. The tracks are beveled, wider at the top, but that is to allow boot clearance. If y...

Al, when you wax the Vector, how big is your kick zone? Snow is getting deep enough for my fat waxable. It’s an Åsnes, so it has skin attachment slots. Normally I would call the wax pocket back of heel to skin attachment. I figure I will try 6-8” in front of the binding to start. To me 86 mm underf...

Nitram Tocrut Good to hear! I think either could be good but I'm still leaning toward 177 at my weight. Answering my own question, there is the Crispi Shiver NTN, three buckles, a bit lighter weight, but it seems many on this forum have not been happy with Crispi boots. https://crispi.it/en/343/shi...

Are there any NTN boots available (or coming) that are <4 buckle and closer to a T4 in height/flex?

Based on what I've learned recently, the Voile BC (waxless) skis may be better for this purpose than the S-Bounds. Less noisy, great downhill, but still decent grip from the fish scales. In addition to the Objective, the UltraVector or HyperVector BC are supposed to be good. They also have V6 and V8...
