In the U.S., the top 1% own 31% of assets in the market. For the bottom 50% it's 5%. This data is hard to define, and hard to collate, but the bottom line is that a huge number of good paying blue collar jobs went overseas in the last few decades. Now, 50 countries including the EU, have come out in...

If they're not under warranty, you could take them to a cobbler. Or you could contact Alpina and see what they say. I'm a little surprised they're separating at the front, as there's not a whole lot of upward pressure at the toe. If the separation isn't migrating aft, you might be able to get away w...

Another easy way to share in high quality is to upload to YouTube and share the link.

In the past, I've used spray silicone with good results. Also, Teflon tape can help. I think you're just a little south of me. I ski mostly in the Bear River Range.

Super 8 video or never happened

I think we were only up to "Super 3" back then! Crayons were involved.

Way back in 1971, I skied on what at the time was light gear. Three pin and the shoes seemed like running shoes on cross country skis - I guess. We skied in about 6" of old sunbaked powder. The only way I could turn was in a tely stance, so I guess it existed 50+ years ago.
