Re: Newbie seeking advice

The other option, one I prefer for myself, is: finding a pair of Alpine touring ski around 80 mm waist with a good base, about your height long, minimum of 26 m of radius, mounted with 3 pin cables... Used with Excursion, that is the perfection. Which one? ONE OUT OF MANY... Good advice as well, lo...

Re: Newbie seeking advice

I understand the madshus only come in waxless, thanks for suggestions on similar skis with waxless base as that's what I would prefer. Good call on the bindings, thanks.
Yes the tuas are definitely too heavy for what um at but, untill I get another setup I will keep using them.

Thanks again
