Re: Alpina Alaska 75 boots
Interesting that boot manufacturers like Lundhag are now recommending against three pins. Thinking back through all the leather boots I’ve skied since 1980, prior to moving to plastic, I never had a sole splitting issue. However, I did put smiley plates on some of my boots. The biggest problem with...

Re: Equipment upgrade from skinny skis
So thanks once again all who chimed in with advice. In the end I went for a mellow upgrade and found items that fit at good end of season pricing. Ended up with 200cm Fisher E99 waxable easy skin skis, Rotefella NNN-BC manual bindings and Rossignol X-10 boots. I genuinely believe the only boots my ...

Re: Equipment upgrade from skinny skis
Thanks, I think less easy turns and more straight line performance is what I'm seeking, glad to hear about that. I will check the review section! That makes things a little clearer. Go for a Fischer E99/Asnes Gamme then. Other brands such as Madshus make similar class skis. Ask you sales rep for eq...

Re: Ski Review: 2018-2019 Åsnes Ingstad BC
I think this is the ski I need. I’m starting to get into really long days (50-60km) and deep multi day traverses. My objectives are a ton of fun, but I think not efficient enough over that kind of distance. My one worry is how to try and find out just how steep I can ski something this cambered. So...

Re: Fischer E-99 getting a makeover/name change?
VERY interested. Once Asnes has perfected a waxless-scaled verson of the Gamme 54 I will have one. I don't know if I would call it the "Telemark ski" though... I think that the Nansen is Asnes' old-school Telemark ski. The Gamme- as is the E99 (oops does this ski still exist :cry: :twisted: )- is m...

@The GCW, If you can't return them for a refund/replacement, the better news is that that is repairable. Just bring em to your trusted cobbler.
