Re: No knee drop for Noob

...If you don't have any tips other than to get/buy something else, I'll just keep plodding along... Ok, I'm not going to tell you to get or buy something else. Those seem like fine skis and boots. What I will say though, is that what you are trying to do with them is indeed difficult. I've had the...

Wow Lo-Fi -- What boots do you use in those Voile Hardwires on your Koms? Leathers? I guess you leave the preload really loose?
Excursions, T3 and T4. You got it, I keep them at minimal tension. I find they work really well for flats, ups and downs. Super easy in & out too.

Re: Rossignol is going XP

... nobody makes a bigger tip to save you from yourself. :D Love the irony, given your screen pic! (Meant as totally playful humor!) :lol: 904.gif Yeah but that was on the Guides :lol: Yeah, it hurts my brain too much to figure out if I was trying to be being ironic or quite literal. Indeed those w...

Re: Excursion/T4 dilemma

As some of you will recall, I've been skiing a pair of Excursions for a few seasons now. Warm comfy boots to be sure, and a suitable flex; however they're just too high volume for me to get a snug fit. Doesn't matter a lot of the time, but it becomes an issue when the snow is more difficult, and my...

Re: Madshus Panorama 78

Yo @Lo-Fi as I continue my Kom obsession you keep coming up all over the Internet, :lol: . It isn't clear to me which one you ski, the 162 or the 174? Maybe you have both :D . I ski the 162cm. I just picked up some G3 Findr 94 XCD in a longer 172cm which are similar to Koms, but I prefer the Koms. ...

Re: Madshus Panorama 78

lilcliffy's list of favorite skis makes me think that the Kom may be worth considering -- and maybe even cliffy can speak to how it compares with the others he just compared -- surely more float than the s98 and less $ than Voile. Probably the longest Kom given 200#. The Kom is a superb ski and a m...

Re: Ditching 75mm plasticboots for XPlore only - valid thought, idea?

...I'm thinking about ditching my 75mm hardboot setup and just gonna be XPloring for all my needs... Somebody has experience on a "modern" Tele hardboot setup and on a oldschool leatherboot setup in similar downhill conditions?... What kind of skiing is most attractive to you? It is cool to get tur...

Re: Boot sizing advice please

So... my Garmonts are a 29/30.5 shell (not sure the liner size). The length seems OK, but they're way too narrow across the mid and forefoot while also sloppy loose in the heel. If I measure my foot for mondo sizing, I get about 28.5. I wear a 13-14US street shoe. I'm thinking maybe a used pair of ...
