Very good UTE magazine (Norwegian) article on Nordic BC bindings:
http://www.utemagasinet.no/Utstyr/GUIDE ... ibindinger
Right-click on the page and "translate to English" (unless you happen to read Norwegian
)
Quote: "boots mean more than binding"
Check out the links to UTE reviews/tests of Nordic BC bindings, boots and skis.

That was a good link, thanks man. No big surprises. Here's an article comparing waxless skis:
http://www.utemagasinet.no/Utstyr/Test- ... e-fjellski . I really enjoy how it is almost an apologetic introduction to waxless skis-- man, how I wish we had the consistency of a cold winter with dry snow all season long in NH. I remember perusing a ski shop in just a few years ago in Oslo, and did not find one waxless ski. Best quote: Particularly in eastern area there is skepticism, the Federation warns waxless skis and says "rarely appropriate and can kill the joy of skiing."

Aren't those Lundhags Husky super cool?!
Man- I wish we had the Nordic equipment that they have in Fennoscandia!

That article made me chuckle.
I wonder if they mean "Russian Federation" when they speak of the "Federation"?

i looked into those for a while. Unfortunately the sole will not withstand a pin only binding, cables only!
