Re: Extreme range two ski quiver.

Iilcliffy, thank you for your recommendations. I would like to use my current boots which are a leather pair of Merrell’s with the Velcro laces for touring on the flats and my Scarpa T3 boots for steeper terrain. I would use Volie 3 Pin Telemark cable bindings with the cables off for touring. I hard...

Re: Extreme range two ski quiver.

If I get the Gamme 54 skis should I put some Volie 3 Pin telemark cable bindings on them so I can use my leather Merrell Telemark boots on them for touring and track skiing without the cable. Would my plastic Scarpa T4 boots work well for practicing downhill telemark turns?

Re: Extreme range two ski quiver.

I am 5’ 7”(170 cm) tall and weigh 210 lbs(95 kg). The Åsnes sizing cart for the Ingstad suggests a 185cm for my height and a 205cm for my weight. Following Gary Neptune’s advice in “Nordic Ski Touring” I am picking the next size shorter the size recommended for my weight, a 195cm long ski to reduce ...

Re: Extreme range two ski quiver.

Considering the feedback so far I have reconsidered my selection of my fjellski from the Falketind to the Åsnes Ingstad BC. It is good for untracked deep snow and is good turning on descents. It should have good glide on the flat stretches or my tours. Most of my steep and deep powder skiing will be...

Re: Extreme range two ski quiver.

I my current track ski is the Rossignol LST BC with Rossi X5 NNN boots. I would like a wax ski with edges to ski mostly off track on ungroomed trail but would like to ski on groomed tracks when they are available. I think the Gamme and Ousland are overkill for the short trips day that I plan so I a...

Re: Extreme range two ski quiver.

I do not have a track ski and plan to ski mostly off track on ungroomed trail but would like to ski on groomed tracks when they are available. I think the Gamme and Ousland are overkill for the short trips day that I plan so I am going with the lighter and narrower Mountain Race 48. If I was planing...

Extreme range two ski quiver.

I am thinking about making an extreme range two ski quiver to simplify travels. The skis I have chosen are the Åsnes Mountain Race 48 and the Falketind 62. I have the boots already, some Rossignol X5 boots for NNN and the leather Merrell Telemark boots with Velcro laces and plastic Scarpa T3 for thr...

NNN boots (not BC) for Åsnes Mountain Race 48 skis

I am looking at true NNN boots to use with the Åsnes Mountain Race 48 skis. I have found two that I like, the Rossignol XC5 OT and the Alfa Horizon Perform 2.0 GTX. https://www.rossignol.com/us/rijw180-000.html https://www.alfaoutdoor.com/shop/ski-boots/touring/horizon-perform-gtx/horizon-perform-2-...
