Re: 2022 Falketind 62 Xplore 196 cm First Impressions
I can break trail in 12”, that’s as deep as it’s been. I have kicked through drifted areas where the ski disappeared under the surface, but it was fully supportive. Now when you ask about length that’s a tougher question. While more cambered and stiffer than the previous model, it isn’t a classic do...

Re: Voile Resort Durability?
I haven’t heard anything negative about Voile durability. I check into a couple of forums, they are popular skis and I don’t hear much negative about them period. I know a lot of the Voile skis aren’t warranted for Telemark bindings. What I hear the problem is with people skiing T-1’s, Hammerheads o...

Re: Trail breaking ski
I have the new FT Xplore, I haven’t had it in deeper than a foot. It breaks trail fine. It does have rocker, but the ski is longitudinally stiff and fully supportive. It kicks and glides well. It’s really light, turns well. It is a really good ski. I’m 190 plus a pack, and the 196 suits me fine. Wha...

Re: Powder Touring Ski? Voile Hyper V6 BC?
esnichols1 Just so you get another opinion. The FT Xplore will easily out kick and glide the S-112, it is a better downhill ski as well. I really like it, however I would not put it in the downhill class of a Vector or a ski of that class. At least when your downhill is steep and deep. The S-112 ha...

Re: Summer storage
The first thing I would like to relate is that the backcountry technique I’ve learned here and from another source are a bit unorthodox to classic technique. In classic technique for cross country (grip wax) skiing you have a very defined wax pocket, and a glide zone. The wax pocket is stripped clea...

Re: Summer storage
bark-eater I promise this is my last comment. Kick/grip wax does not adhere well to glide wax. BP99 is a glide wax. I would not apply a glide wax in the kick wax pocket at all, ever. Since I use polar as a glide wax, and even though I sometimes ski at temperatures cold enough for polar to be my kic...

Re: The M Equipment MEIDJO 2.1 NTN Telemark Binding Review
SibrenDevos I apologize, I don’t even ski NTN, yet I made a foolish assumption. My only defense is it would be nice to see these manufacturers perfect these bindings for touring, and a releasable binding for Telemark skiing. As far as more pressure alpine touring being harder on the binding, my hyp...

Re: Summer storage
That Purl wax is a glide wax, grip wax does not adhere well to glide wax. I used to use paraffin for winter storage, now I just use Polar. I picked the Purl because it isn't represented as a glide wax. If it is what sort of base conditioning wax options are there? Or is straight canning paraffin a ...
