Re: ADK Jackrabbit Trail

@corlay The Jackrabbit seems like a worthy enterprise. The Barkeater Trail Alliance has a phone number, it might be worth a call. One of the selling points of the trail was bringing skier business to the towns along the trail

Re: Setting up Falketind 62s with NNN-BC

timpete as an interesting side note, if you squeeze the FT X together base to base at the binding, you will see air on either side of where the skis are squeezed together. I don’t know what it means, but I have zero wax drag on consolidated bases. As a matter of fact, on consolidated bases with fre...

Re: Åsnes NOSI 76 Ski Review

stiff, more like a skimo ski. Skimo skis are not made for pleasure. They are only built to win races. To be the fastest on the ascent and the fastest on the descent. Not for fun, leisure and fulfilment. Just out of curiosity... Why don't you write to Asbjorn Asnes and tell him that all their 30+ cu...

Re: Setting up Falketind 62s with NNN-BC

I have the FT Xplore in 196, I can assure you they kick and glide in both hardpack and soft snow. They may not kick and glide like my Gamme, but they do kick and glide surprisingly well.

Re: Åsnes NOSI 76 Ski Review

Okay Johnny, I don’t have your deep powder. I get the soft, surfy thing too. Actually for what I assumed the Nosi intended use was, I thought it would be a bit stiff, more like a skimo ski. I’m glad the Nosi is a great powder ski for you. I really wouldn’t have thought of skiing that ski with soft l...

Re: Last Year’s and this Year’s Grip Wax Experiments

motel 1.5 I am glad Woodserson dug this thread up. I really need to say thank you! The Oslo Violet is just a fantastic addition to my wax kit, and will be for some time I believe. I plan on trying the red version next season. Woods, thank you for finding this thread. I’m glad I was able to post a t...

Re: 2022 Falketind 62 Xplore 196 cm First Impressions

Gareth, again it’s the camber and longitudinal stiffness that changes everything. The rocker is about the same between the original FT and the FT X. The difference is the FT X is completely supportive. In soft snow the ski bends in a very supportive arc. The longitudinal stiffness goes right to the ...

@Nitram Tocrut Martin, such a beautiful place! It sure looks like you had fun! I forgot you had a Rabb, it looks like it suits you. How long is your Rabb? Boots / bindings?

Re: BCX TRANSNORDIC 75 waterproof

wabene the ST matches up to a thinner duckbill like my thermomolded Alaska 75. When the ST / cable first arrived I didn’t think I liked the cable. Now after using it, I would use it on any ski I wasn’t planning on skiing in plastic the majority of the time. The hardwires on the cable squeeze tight ...
