Your asking price was very, very good indeed. Doubly so because Asnes skis are usually in short supply and the few remaining ones usually don’t go on sale until end of season (when sizes are limited).

He f@cked up for sure, not into cancel culture tho, the mob went a little hard. I did think that article was dumb af though, lots of boring cliches. I'll watch their movie when I get a chance though

 I would like to point out for those who are/were unfamiliar with it, that Rottefella sold an NNN BC with a cable decades ago, as their "telemark" version. It was a dismal flop.
Are you referring to Cabletrak? That was a one-person business project. AFAIK Rottefella did not make a similar binding.

I can't tell by what I see on those links; that may well have been it, but I remember them as being sold by Rottefela.
