Re: Gear Basket
We just just got our second snow (dusting) of Fall and I got the snow itch bad. Went online looking for the Fischer S bound 98 and Madshus Epoch 68 skis again. I’ve been looking since last year. Google pops up a list of the S bounds and down on the bottom Skate Pro has them for $210 and free FedEx shipping. So did I bother to look here first? Nope! Ordered them first! Then looked to see if I jumped off a cliff. I didn’t see anything horrible about Skate Pro here so hopefully they will show up looking new and in one piece.

Re: Gear Basket
Just noticed that Varuste (Finland) seems to have new stock on Asnes skis.
Even with $70 in shipping, the prices are better than in US (the prices shown are discounted 5% because I have bought stuff there before).
Also lower prices on NNN BC at ~ $64 (will mount for $10)
And on X-Skins
For example Åsnes X-Skin Mohair, 58mm at $61 (delayed delivery, right now)
FWIW...

Re: Gear Basket
Varuste has big 20% sale!!
grab a new pair of skis now! I just bought the Cecilie Skog 185cm. $368 total. shipped to US/Alaska.
I was going back and forth on Ingstads, Gamme, Nansen, or Skog. went with the Skog as it fits me better and I want an all arounder...something between mt51 and ft62. and I'm not skiing flat trails with it (will use mt51 for that).

Re: Gear Basket
Great prices. Wish they had the Mountain Touring 51 in 205 or 210 (or I weighed less) or the waxable Amundsen (or Mountain Race 46 or 48). Dang.

Re: Gear Basket
Åsnes Nansen + manual NNN BC for 2799 NOK at xxl.no if you're Norwegian and fancy a bargain for Christmas.
I'm considering it.
