I loged a lot of in track miles last year in my new Alaskas. Also had a lot of downhill fun on E99s too. So comfy but make good turning power too without a bunch of stiffness. Love these things couldn't see needing a "lighter" boot for me. Oh and warm!

Something's up because I've only had a HH release once in all the years I've skied them. Thank god it did or I'm sure I would have broke my leg. Check the throw against the old one, Mabey its fulcrum point is in a different spot?

I was thinking of making some shorter ones like Hoks and doing a climbing skin insert on the base. I just waxed up the polyurethanes bottoms and they skied really well with Targas.I don't think I'd want to do any drops on them though.

I pretty sure I have quite a set of release parts like those, mabey some preloaders and stuff too. I'll go dig through my junk.

I have those same skis with black sidewalls. 2 pair actually 195s and 215s. there like a camber and a half and grip and turn pretty easy for a long ski. They wax nice and are fast in the track. Love the edges for bush sking.

Ok I received my Alpina Alaskas and they look the same as previous ones no suprizes. First off the build quality looks outstanding and very durable fit and finish near perfect. I ordered the 44s as I have a 10-10 1/2 normal foot. The box comes marked 44 and 9 1/2 which after checking several size ch...

I'll be home in a few days ill post it up. Also have my new Alskas waiting for me when I get there. Showed up today.

Try the auto wreckers. When people write off cars they rarely roll and ski boxes almost always never get damaged or claimed by there owners in a insurance settlement. I spot them laying around or still on the roofs of cars at the wreckers often and can be had for $50.00. I mount mine useing old alpi...
