does anyone here use these boots with 3-pin bindings? Just last night skied mine with both Rotte 3pin with cable and Nato M98. Better kick and glide with 3pin as expected, best support with 3pin +cable. I got my Guide Expedition BC's on a bargain 2 yers ago. Found them one size too big, but have no...

It is hard to say from Rossignol marketing, it could be all off. From reading reviews, BC 120 sounds like a good ski. From all around internet I can find 10-15 reviews, of course usually short and incomplete. Nearly all of them suggest to me that the ski is/was way different from earlier BC 125. Sou...

I do not get everyone here dissing XP 120 without skiing or seeing them, or even trying to collect data on them to understand what they might be about. I generally agree that Rossi nordic bc -line is not on par with, say, Åsnes. At the moment I have a pair of Rossi BC65's, which I bought in an emerg...

The topic seems to be well covered by others already, but I'll add my votes. Hard to say which skis you need in Southern Finland, looking from where I am at it begins from Rovaniemi, for some might mean south from Lahti. Talking about Northern Lapland, the one ski is still the forest skis. However, ...

Glad to see your report of the trip, Roelant! Edit: Rando I mean, of course! I see at the end of the week it will get cold again (both day and night) in Kirkenes-Ovre Pasvik so it should be good skiing there when the thaw feezes over, and on warmer days you can always ski the snow scooter tracks. No...

Great choice, life is so easy there in the forests compared to fjells. Pasvikdalen is northern tropics to me, especially in summer if coming from the barren coast. Like southern Carelia. More barren forests with exceptional wilderness feeling between the valley and lake Inari. On the lake, yes, plen...

About Kilpisjärvi region. Have not been there this winter, but suppose it did not get as warm lately as in lower areas. Most likely very good skiing conditions, and nice huts, but it has gotten so crowded there nowadays that I tend to head elsewhere if I want that kind of terrain. Highest parts of F...

Northernmost Finland: Generally not very much snow this winter (apart from Kilpisjärvi region), but well enough for skiing and looks like it will last in the near future. Current heat wave has melted/evaporated some of the top layer; when it gets colder again the top layer will mostly carry the skie...

fisheater, thanks for comment. I have not yet managed to make my T4's work, so my experience is limited (well, so it is with T2's too, of course), and I think you are right that they are "better" in that aspect, although difference might not be huge. To me, big part of the issue seems to be the forw...
