Thank you very much for that information jefkin , and welcome to the forum! For less than the cost of postage for a hard-copy version, and with just a very few mouse-clicks I was able to download the E-book version of Telemark Journal, Issue 2, from the Lulu website. The original Vic Bein article wa...

Yes, I would say that Fischer Nordic boots are smaller than the stated size, based on my own experience with BCX675 as well as an NNN BC boot.

Thank you for that @Big Tim.
I looked him up and found that he also lives here in CH.
I'm in the Norwegian mountains for the next 3 weeks and I will try to contact him when I get home.

Perhaps Scarpa have sniffed new marketing potential, far in advance of their competitors.

Some more pics from last season in Norway. All of this series are from Skarvheimen mountain range, north of Hardangervidda and south of Jotunheimen. The forecast gave a 5-day window of high pressure, but they were pretty certain that it would break down after the 5 days. The traverse would normally ...
