Also, I noticed putting Polar grip wax (V05) on the whole ski and blue wax in the kick zone works very well for gentle slopes and allows for better control going downhill. The ski without wax felt like I was on ice skates as a kid...falling every 10 seconds. Wax is amazing. I now use both -- Polar ...

I really think for where you are at, and from what I have read from the Tahoe area. A Vector class ski and light plastic boots are the shiznit. I was suggesting the FT or the Ingstad as NNN options. I’m really hoping you find what you like. Then I hope you post cool pictures and stories. I really m...

Ok then, I would think about my last post about the Objectives and KOM's. OR a V6 with scales. If you're going to spend the money on the Objectives why not go for another very smooth soft schmeary ski. (Again, though, like the KOM, not NNN-BC optimized-- so it really depends on your goals) V6 yes! ...

I'm re-reading these posts and I'm wondering if what your objective (no pun) is now? Has it changed? Are you looking to turn in Sierra Cement or are you looking to tour the High Country with minimal turns? It's been a year, maybe your goals have changed too. My objective hasn't really changed. Look...

Yeah Objectives look sweet but think they would be wasted on me at this point. Maybe next year with new bindings and boots? Or just better skills? Right now love the lightweight NNNBC with Alsaka set-up. Johnny riding fat skis with that setup is inspiring. I never skied them but generally speaking ...

The Objective is so easy to turn, so light, so shmearable, with a round smooth soft flex. With scales.

Just sayin'

You're killin me!

A year since I sought advice I know what I want but finding difficult to get it done. Objective 117/84/102 5 lb (178). Johnny’s logic is hard to resist! But if this was just a bit narrower I would have more confidence spending $700. This might be the ultimate deep powder nnnbc ski but I think more p...

I look at them twice at the shop... The new BC collection is a little better than it was (very easy... they were crappy in my views regarding design). They reduce the sidecut, add a little rocker, etc... But the camber: very stiff. It makes sens in the BC 65 (best design of the lot, theoretically s...

Saw a review but it was in French so not too helpful.

If you want a translation there is many of us that speaks french so we sure can help... and it’s better than a google translation

Thanks for the offer but lost my interest in these.

So I'm correct in assumption that Rossignol doesn't make a decent nordic ski? Was hoping they improved wax less bases as I've heard they're pretty weak. I'm sure your FT62 Asnes would be better choice. Wish they were available wax less but of course a wax less base that doesn't work is worst possibl...
