Jack, Take a look at the Asnes line: https://www.en.asnes.com/products/alpine-touring/ My xcd ski is a Falketind 62. That would be a bit narrow and light for your use, but perfect for my lower peninsula Michigan use with a lot of kick and glide, and short vertical downhills. I also have the retired ...

I think I will order a few spare tins of Start Oslo Special. I don’t believe I have used Swix Red/Silver since I tried the Oslo Violet. I have some Oslo Blue, but have never tried it. The downside of Olso Violet is even when scraped clean, that little bit of residue will make colder waxes stick. Ah,...

I use citrus cleaner if it gets colder to prevent sticking If you find yourself skiing multiple kliste...

It sounds like a kicker skin would be better for big swings in temperature during the course of the day.

Wow, Woodserson Those look like the East German pants I bought from Coleman’s quite a few years ago. I liked the first pair so much I bought 2 more. One pair is still in the cellophane wrapper, one pair I wear to church on Sundays, when I going skiing immediately afterwards. The last pair are my reg...
