Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
wow….I want to be in Stavaskarnuten, right now! although it's probably dark for the next few months. I would take E99/super tele on those open mellow pitches….skiing the uphill part would be so easy. we're all different - I'm a little crazy - if I panned that basement pic over a few feet you'd see m...

Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
this guy is loving the Breidablikk…no dog!
Out and test new fjellski, easy skareføre.
Very good ski to the rugged terrain, very soft and good.
Was filmed on an incredibly idyllic day at kallingsheia.

Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
>>I thought they were a fairly stiff ski. The only thing close to being as stiff I have is the E89. I didn't like the mountain crown scales - great glide, not so great grip... typical for a negative pattern. this brownish vintage E99 is a stiff ski with soft tips that make turning easier. I actually...

Re: Fischer E-109 vs. Asnes Ingstad
I could not resist the Asnes spring sale at Neptune last year - I went with the Gamme 54 - 210's - basically the Asnes version of the E99. (at some point in spring all the Asnes skis they have left go on sale). Comparing those two skis - the Gamme 54 camber is the same height off the ground, but the...

Re: The NNN/BC Truth Thread
re: learning, all I can say is find some consolidated corn like the "youngster" in the photo above. That is where I was able to figure out how to tele turn on light gear. Still flailing in deep powder! As a lifetime alpine skier I found I had to force my legs into tele turn position before starting ...

Re: East Coast S Bound advice
I'd probably go with Sbound 88's and 78's. For me the simple 3-pin and lightweight boots setup isn't enough to control bigger skis, I have trouble rolling them up on edge, but I have weak foot bones. I've always needed more supportive boots. The 88's will be different with less camber, they should c...

Re: Leather boots care and maintenance
this stuff works great on my Cripi Antarctic and Alico hiking boots…pretty far from being vegan though!

Re: All purpose backcountry/bushwack ski
that's pretty funny, I read that Ute test also! They like Andrew Expedition above all others. The Alico Double from STP is similar, running $300 these days, wonderful quality and durability (if it fits you). These are heavy boots though. IMO all the Crispi boots are light enough to be used for gener...

Re: All purpose backcountry/bushwack ski
I'm always surprised that Crispi Antarctic and Sydoplen are left out of these conversations - stiffer and more supportive than Alaska or BC1600 for sure. These two have the thicker, welted 75mm Vibram "real" telemark sole on them. The upper may not be as firm as the Svartsen, but the sole will have ...

Re: Looking for the ultimate XCD ski pole
I'm rocking the Swix Mountain poles this year and loving it! I have two pairs, both found for cheap by trolling around various sales & shops. These are way lighter than 2 or 3 section poles and heavier gauge than normal XC poles. For some reason I prefer these to my BD sectional poles, the extra len...
