In the past, I've used spray silicone with good results. Also, Teflon tape can help. I think you're just a little south of me. I ski mostly in the Bear River Range. I've noticed a lot more caking underfoot this year with the warmer temperatures. Wondering if you seen the same though, if you ski at ...

@Nick BC , no not the TXPro. I have some old, green, bellows F1.

I've been doing a lot of touring in Northern Utah this winter. The snow has finally started falling but it's closer to West Coast cement than Champaign powder. As a result I'm getting some severe snow buildup under my boot with the Transit binding. I'm thinking of using this spray stuff I sprayed in...

I remember decades ago when the sport of rollerblading burst on the scene. I didn't live in a place that was conducive to the sport or I'd have loved giving it a go. Closest I got was some rental blades and some bumpy outings. At any rate, one of the things I read at the time went something like, "....

Took my S-Bound 98s with NNN-BC and Alpina Alaska boots to the resort yesterday. Granted I only did green runs but I am so impressed with the turnability of these skis. I imagine it would be even better with 3-pin with cables or Xplore. Blue runs might be pushing it with NNN-BC but I was able to do...

Temps have been pretty warm so I used Toko Yellow that's good for above freezing. Temperature this day was between 30 and 33 degrees. I applied the wax tip and tail with an iron. I then went over the scales with a liquid Swix F4 all purpose. I was satisfied with performance both climbing and coming ...

I don't have any advice on the wax, but if you want to sell those old Objectives that are just sitting there collecting dust, taking up space, I'll take 'em off your hands

I might… it would make my better-half happy!
