Re: Correcting heel slip in a boot

Thanks for the replies, I’ve tried on a pair of Alpinas and they are tight widthwise in the toe but the heel slips. Armed with some of my newfound knowledge I’ll be trying on some other boots very soon,

Changing bindings

Is it OK to change bindings on a ski? Say you have a BC binding and you wanted to change it to a 75 mm three pin binding. I imagine there would be a different hole pattern, extra holes etc. Possible, permissible?

Correcting heel slip in a boot

If One found a boot that fitted well except for a little heel slip is there any reason why One couldn’t make a shim that fitted under the insole, perhaps cut out of a cork tile, full thickness under the heel and tapering to nothing under the arch? Do people do something like this?

I’ve ordered a pile of boots that will be delivered to REI and hopefully the ones I want will fi...

Re: Relative beginner in New England, advice

Hello and welcome Jasonsansfleece! I have much experience with racing-against-time to ski on temporary fresh snow in Coastal New Brunswick and Nova Scotia! You definitely need at least a light, "narrow" cambered, fast trail ski for when the snow conditions keep you on woods roads and trails. Unless...

Relative beginner in New England, advice

Good day, I’ve been cross country skiing on and off (mostly off] for 27 years on badly fitting and inappropriate equipment. Decided to change that. Depending on which fits best I’m going to get Skarvet or Alpina boots. As for skis I realize there is not one ski for all occasions so if I were to star...
