Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
Hey guys, can I ask to continue this in another thread or in private message or email?
We aren't going to solve anything here, I cannot change the background, so I'm powerless either way. I just hate to see a good and informative thread go down the tubes.
Thanks!

Could be downtown Fredericton as well.
Could be downtown most anywhere.

Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

Good point- my thought as well! 
Sorry to have raised the issue here in the first place!

It's OK - AFAIK you guys can discuss or raise any issue you want. Some might be better left as their own subjects though.lilcliffy wrote:Good point- my thought as well!

Oh and FWIW it was my fault the background went from the mountain back to the girls!

Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
FYI. The Asnes dealer in Calgary has Combat Natos in stock in 200 and 210 cm, I believe. I was interested, until I heard the pricelilcliffy wrote:I think I am going to talk to the folks at LaCordee and see if I can put a deposit on a 210cm Ingstad (or preferably Combat Nato) for next season...
Perhaps they will have them on sale later in the season...Tom

Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
This is great news- I haven't spoken to the Norseman for well over a year...been distracted by trying to get them out of QC- even had hopes that my wife and I were finally going to pull of a trip up there again this winter (and I might actually hold them in my hand before I bought them!)...
I will see if I can't pull off the Combat Nato from Calgary then- I like the Combat better than the Ingstad anyway!

23 pages about a new pair of skis. Already, lacordee is out of 190 Ingstads and up. When are you going to get them lilcliffy?lilcliffy wrote:This is great news- I haven't spoken to the Norseman for well over a year...been distracted by trying to get them out of QC- even had hopes that my wife and I were finally going to pull of a trip up there again this winter (and I might actually hold them in my hand before I bought them!)...

Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
Good question...
My cashflow was tight at the beginning of the season and during the holidays...
If the Norseman has the Combat Nato in a 205/210cm then maybe I can pull it off in the next couple of months...
Otherwise- I will save my beer money for next season!
I am willing to wait and get them long...I need to give up hoping to get them on clearance.

Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
Apparently, this retailer in Germany ships Asnes skis to North America - https://www.sportalbert.de/bgregoire wrote:I doubt Asnes become as easy to find as you wish in NA. Its quite a niche product. Few here are willing to pay such a premium for quality. I wish though!
Its expensive for sure (~$120 CAD to ship skis to Canada); however, they have stock and when I work out the exchange and factor in shipping I can get a pair of Asnes and NNN BC binding (at a package price, and minus the VAT) for a bit cheaper than the skis alone shipped from the Asnes dealer in Calgary.
Something to think about.

p.s. The new mountain background rocks.
