Gotta ski there.

Nothing mind-blowing here- just an interesting read:

Also interesting to note that both skiers remain convinced that their respective ski tech is better for a multi-day trek!

Hate to add another ski to your consideration- What about the Nansen? You... you just opened the door marked 'Choosing between the Gamme 54 and the Nansen' to some poor stranger on the internet. "Walk right in." You really did it. Just like it was nothing. This should be on your conscience for year...

I'll likely heed your advice, and be sensible to opt for something for main use case, (70% singletrack / 20% woods / 10% downhill). Based on that going to eliminate S-bound 98.

As far as a plain 3-pin 75mm binding- the Rottefella Super Telemark is by far my favourite- easiest to get into and provides the tightest clamp, especially with BC-XC boots that have a narrower duckbill. I u...

On the Gamme 54 BC over the last few days- trail skiing. Snow conditions have been great- trail-breaking has been brutal for a couple of weeks. We had a bit of rain overnight a days ago- followed by freeze- producing breakable crust with over a foot of soft snow underneath- over a frozen base. Today...
