I'm looking for advice and opinions on this question, ideally in relation to my specific situation. Where I live and ski (Scotland) we don't often have conditions that lend themselves to waxing. As such I have very little experience with kick waxing. I am however about to go on a wee trip to the Ron...

I noticed @Brynski something that may help. I learned one of the most important position lessons way back in my alpine skiing days. It’s the simple mantra, shins to the boot. Basically it means you flex your knees so your shins pressure the front of the boot. It is applicable and necessary in every...

Obviously I don't want to go too crazy on acquiring expensive materials to fix these old skis, but I'd still lik...

Hi all, First post for me. Thanks for all the info and entertainment so far. I've just got hold of a stunning pair of Fischer Telemark GTS, still in their wrapper. I'd like to mount then up with the xplore, and use them on the easier runs at my local resorts, such as The Lecht and Cairngorm. Both th...
