Re: Fischer Excursion 88 vs Outtabounds - Newb

Thanks guys, appreciate the words of wisdom. My first outings on XCD gear were on new powder and gave me a bit of a false impression of the overall difficulty I think.

Fischer Excursion 88 vs Outtabounds - Newb

I'm new to Nordic BC skiing, and frankly still have a lot to learn at the resorts as well. I live in a mountainous area of N Ca and after much prodding by co workers last year started going out on logging roads and moderate terrain on a pair of Fischer Country Crown 210s with 3pins and had a ton of ...
