Re: Alfa Skaget Xplore boot disintegrate
So- I have put my Skaget boots through an intensive touring season- and have had an unusually extended spring skiing season- due to early spring weather and spring snow- therefore, have used the Skaget for some significant hiking. (Hiking ins ski boots is something that I try to avoid- but, it becom...

@reborntelemark
Thank you for this excellent post-review and the spectacular photos!
The Alfa Free boot does indeed offer more support than the Skaget boot-
but, I much prefer the Skaget for Nordic touring-
and the FTX is a superb backcountry Nordic touring ski for steep terrain.

@André18
Is your issue with the nylon loop on the new Skaget that you cannot get your heel properly seated in the boot?

Re: Fischer S-Bound vs Madshus Panorama
@lilcliffy SEPAQ's website mentions 435 total snow in 2024 at high elevation and 200cm in the valley. But they don't mention mm of rain! And we had plenty this winter... including last night. Yesterday, it was forecasting snow at the end of the week. Now it's forecasting rain. Anyway, I can't do mu...

Re: S-bound 98 and Nansen vs. Rabb 68
JB TELE Don't know where your most recent post went... To clarify- I don't mean to give the impression that I think the S-Bound 98 is a great downhill ski on hardpack. The S98 is clearly a cambered, wide, compact, curvy XC ski. Much like the Karhu/Madshus XCD line (ie M62/68/78)- I would expect the...

Re: Fischer S-Bound vs Madshus Panorama
You beat me to it Bob! Agree- I have had no issues with the lacing on the Alaska or the Skaget boot. I do like the low locking cleat on the Skaget, so I have no personal experience as to the loss of it, and its replacement with the nylon lace loop... I love the lacing system on the Alaska- both the ...

Re: Fischer S-Bound vs Madshus Panorama
To me, the problem in the lacing system is the little polyester band between both locking eyelets. Maybe it's me and the fact that I couldn't use my new boots much, but I have a hard time to lock my feet and ankle as tight as I want without removing the lace from the polyester band. I would have pr...

Re: Fischer S-Bound vs Madshus Panorama
André18 Oh- Monts-Valin! Magnifique! The last time I was at Monts-Valin was on Christmas Day 2011- All of the cabins in parc were booked- so, we got up early, hiked up the north face with our skis on our pack- ski toured at high elevation and then skied down the backside (on the sled track) at dusk...
