@stilltryin where are you located? I may be interested, I'm in Burke, VT

That was my fear re: the boot. I am pretty aware of the relationship between boots and skis when it comes to control. I think I need to get more specific with the direction I want to go in. My AT setup is dynafit hoji free boot, so hard-charging. Marker alpinist with Volkl blaze, so a turny, ripping...

Thanks John, super helpful. Keeping moderate terrain exciting kinda nails what I’m Looking for. Plug for Fischer S-bound 98. I ski these with leather boots and NNNBC bindings in Utah. They are narrow enough to drive on hardpack/mixed conditions with soft boots yet float enough to ski great in 18" po...

Copy, turn farmer. I have attached a pic of the asolos I have. Are asolo extremes higher with the heel retention buckle? While I’m in total agreement that the KOM or Voile V6BC are the best choice for what you want to do, I think the Voile ObjectiveBC would be a better choice with an Asolo Extreme b...

I am assuming the leathers will be too soft and sloppy...they are old Asolo's that my dad has been to shit, so likely as soft as they come. But I imagine this as being some of the fun factor... I actually have telemarked in the past, so can make tele turns, but it's been years and I was only startin...

Who out there is skiing tight trees with fischer 88s or even 98s, nansens, ingstads or ft 62s? I know Gt does, but only where there is an opening in the tight trees. Right! This gets to my hesitation about some of these longer ski's. Woodserson The skis you just mentioned, do you feel they fit this...

Wow, that price is insane. This does bring up the idea of using my pop's old rossi's. They are metal edge and waxable. Again, despite knowing that once I go wax I'll never go back, I am really concerned about my lifestyle accommodating waxing...this is why waxless appeals to me - just throw them on ...

Thanks, Fish! Seems like a great ski. However, this ski would need wax...I'm hesitant about jumping into the wax world. I guess I could just skin with it. Also plan on driving these skis with old leather boots. If you are looking for more DH oriented and want to kick and glide I’m a HUGE fan of the ...

Got it, got it. Super helpful. Definitely NO wax for me right now. I have two little toddlers so no time to take care of gear. Woods - My budget is flexible, but tend to side with more affordable. I am in the NEK, East Burke, specifically, so will mainly be tromping around Burke Mountain and the sur...

Thanks Musk Ox! I had my eye on the nansens. What is your backcountry waxing program? How easy are we talking? Do you still ever use skins? aren't skins on waxed skis a no go? Long for dense trees!? Like a broken record, is I......But cruising Vermont BC has a Ritcheas ski......E99's.....They cruise...
