Ive got the fischer sbound 98s and the ez skins from them. I use them on a regular basis skiing out of my home. 6-7 mile climb about 2.5k of climbing. They work well for me.

Where are the ungroomed XC races??

Well there are races that have multiple entry disciplines like fat pursuit. That takes place on snowmobile groomed trails? Or there’s that team race in Alaska….i cant remember the name!

Just a couple options.

Great stuff! Im abit south of you on Chinook pass. Im planning my first bc outing of the year tomorrow. Probably head up above Bumping Lake or someplace up by the 410 closure.

Id really like to be able to mount a plate and then swap between nnn and nnnbc, i know i could us binding freedom, but an adjustable plate would be pretty sweet(imo).

I just ordered international from Europe. What bindings are people running? Im seeing everything from nnnbc to regular nnn. I want to keep mine light, so I will probably go nnn. Screw on or plate system?

Ive never done what you are talking about,...

Yes! Ive been eyeballing those same events for years but I haven’t taken the plunge. I will really be looking forward to reports! Are your Mountain Races the skins or wax? Are you doing much of a ‘training program’ or you doing it more freehand with a bunch of running/riding now and will just ski a ...

I skied the sbound 98s this season, with nnn bc. They arent the fastest, but I usually ski these solo so i dont care. They descend ok with soft leathers and nnnbc in fresh snow, but firm or cut up snow its survival skiing for me. Next season these are getting swapped to 75mm leathers with cables. Th...

In addition- I note that you are using NNNBC boots- if you want to keep using your boots- this is going to potentially limit the width of the ski you might consider- though this limit is a complex of the particulat boot, the snow conditions, and the skills of the skier. Casacades? Moisture-rich sno...
