My Asnes wooden skis may be similar to what Julie had. Some of those woodies can still be found surfacing in good shape on facebook locally here. I am assuming Julies was around 200CM as that was the tread back then towards longer skis. You were spot on, Julie's woodies were 200 cm. Here is the las...

Do, My karhus have the same topsheet graphics as yours. But waxable so non kinetic on the bases. I have 2 sets. The 2st set I had were 210, but I unfortunately got them to hot with the wax iron and bubbled the base. Picked up a used set same generation for cheap that are 205. No noticeable differen...

I don't have anything useful to add to this, but I really enjoyed reading the detailed comparison. Thanks for taking the time to write it! Thanks, ya probably went overboard but a seemingly early end to the local snow with some recent new skis kinda left me with too much time hoping for more snow.....

I have a set of karhu xcd gt skis I bought in the 80's. Mine are waxables, probably 1 1/2 camber when new, but not much camber left. These skis, with their age, foam core and loss of camber are only good for one thing- skiing!! I have tended to use them a little less this winter because I bought an...

I wanted to write a review of this ski, but noticed there is this thread already. So I put this here for clarity. I bought these skis second-hand from a local store around 2012. Back then, they still looked unused, but old for visual style (still nice visuals!). Does anybody know, from which era sk...

Interesting how we see "shrinkflation" in consumables (Tim Hortons Donuts) but other things gain in size as technology is "advanced". I prefer the older manuals for some reason Ha ha I hear you. The Timmy's peanut butter cookie and oatmeal cookie downsize made you say "WTF" when you pulled it out o...

I was entertained and intrigued by the amount of different opinions on the Rottefella NNN-BC binding options. The current 3 options would be the Automatic, the Manual and the Magnum. Some opinions/views are based on visuals, some on physics, some on engineering, some on a personal belief backed by c...

Any idea on these skis? Best use? Performance? (wax base, steel edge) 62 54 59 Karhu xcd gt full metal edge xc skis 62 54 59 I think your Karhu XCD GTs and tkarhu's XCD GTs are from the 80s and before the 90s Karhu XCDs with the Kinetic Waxless system. As others have said they work fine for touring...

"Wonder if you could block a pair of foam core skis all summer to get the camber back? It works with wood, but I have my doubts with foam. I'll have to try it with some old squishy Trac skis I have laying around." Not a bad idea. If you combined that with having the skis really warm (but safely so)...
