Re: New skis for Finnish Defence Forces

I've got the stiffest version and I was curious to find out how miserable the superheavies would be skiing these. Turns out it's not bad at all.

Re: Open turns in Barnett's Cross-Country Downhill?

Thanks for linking that, Capercaillie! I watched the whole thing. The pictures in the book make it look like the stepping turn in cross-country, but that turn is completely different.

Re: best bindings for Lundhags Husky/Guide 87-91mm?

Old thread, but the bindings are fairly new. The Nordigrips do accomodate Husky 90s very nicely when set up for use with rubber boots. They even kind of sort of accomodate the Ski March boots: nordigrip.jpg Not exactly light at 500 g apiece, but I think they are compatible with the Voile springs/hee...

Ok, I think I remember now... It is in «Revenge of the Telemarkers», not available anymore though...
Thanks for the tip! I've watched The Telemark Movie, but maybe the sequel will come up for sale on Ebay one day.

Open turns in Barnett's Cross-Country Downhill?

Hi. I recently got Steve Barnett's book to try to learn Telemark skiing. There's a section in it that describes open turns. Reading the descriptions and looking at pictures, I can't for the life of me imageine what it's supposed to look like. Here's how he describes them: 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg Is that s...
