In America, DisHonesty and unTruths are now the new norm and worthy of praise by some. Lies are a more valuable commodity than truth.

Re: Overboots/gaiters for 3-pin boot and bindings.

Re: Current or Recently Retired Waxable Metal Edge Skis

NNN-BC if you get the perma-skin version, many have recommended an adjustable NNN/NIS. to have some range of control over boot position for less/more grip.
