Re: S-bound 98 and Nansen vs. Rabb 68

JB TELE Did you try out your Rabb yet? I had my first ski on my new 179 S-Bound 98 today- very much spring snow conditions here today- froze hard overnight; warm sublime corn snow this afternoon. Versus my 180 Rabb 68- the 179 S98: - has less rocker in the shovel; - has an essentially flat tail wit...

Re: 2022 Falketind 62 Xplore 196 cm First Impressions

@Vrasho
The FTX has a low-profile camber that will be easily crushed at your weight- even at 196cm length.

The unique performance advantages of this ski are best realized at a long length in my opinion.

What snow and terrain conditions are you planning on using this ski?

Re: Lundhags Boots

Lundhags EU sizing is consistent-
286mm=42EU

The UK sizing conversion on their site is correct-
286mm=42EU=8UK

The US sizing is incorrect.
......
A 42EU Lundhags is a 9USM in terms of the last length-
286mm=42EU=8UK=9USM

Re: 2024 Alpina Pioneer TECH XP Backcountry/Telemark ski boot review XPLORE

Theme Very crappy. Looking at the construction and stitching of that boot- they don't inspire quality and durability to me... I don't think that boot would stand up to rough and abrasive conditions in my local forest ski touring... ...... On another note- I have been thinking about the pros and con...

Re: I killed my Fischer Rebound Crown skis. What to replace them with?

Hello rongon ! I have skied the old Rebound many times in years past. I would suggest the closest ski in the current Fischer lineup is the last-gen E-109 Xtralite Crown (82-60-70)→ now the Transnordic 82. However, not currently available in the scaled "Crown" version. Similar to the old Rebound- the...

Re: What ski would you use for this???

JohnSKepler Hi John, So- you can put any of those boots (Alaska XP/T4/F1) on either the Objective BC or the FT62X? Do you still have a Alfa Free XP boot? Will the scales of the Objective BC be sufficient grip for near the entire tur? (ie you won't need skins on it?) Are you comfortable/capable grip...

...I’m not sure of the performance of the Xplore binding. ..
As with any binding the support is very dependent on the boot. My Xplore with Alfa Skaget is more supportive than my 75mm with cable and old Asolo Morgedal, and my Alfa Free is approaching Asolo Extreme.

Re: S-bound 98 and Nansen vs. Rabb 68

I have a pair of outbound 68's as well and I think they turn even better on the hard stuff, as you can muscle the edge up better on the narrower ski. Something to think about if you're faced with only hardback. Maybe just go skinnier! 👍🏽👍🏽 ....... JB TELE Forgive me if this has already been asked- ...
