So, Asnes did not extend the waxless pattern, but I did learn from Asnes that the pattern is 59 cm on all lengths (including the shortest).
And, it turns out now REI (with a 100% satisfaction guarantee for 1 year) just got Asnes Ingstad (also Nansen and Breidablikk in case anyone's looking for those).

Wondering if the grip-problem happened for folks who were using shorter lengths (165) as well?

I'm still searching for the Excursion 88 in 169, but no luck on that one so far.

hoping that this is not considered a thread derail. i have a pair of asnes lillehammer MT1s from the 90s. the specs are listed as 61-51-56. does anyone know if these are early MT51s?

thanks
