Is wood glue or epoxy the standard? Would probably go to a major shop Oslo to get the boots/skis/bindings as a package and have them mount them.

Use PU-based wood glue like this: https://www.casco.eu/no/casco-produkter-1/?pc=132&p=967

Thanks for a very helpful reply Ullr! Very handy, especially given your similar size/weight and trip types. As my pulk as pretty stiff bars, I guess I could do the same with the leaning... will give it a go next time. The Ingstads are wider, more downhill orientated skis right? I know they've got s...

I pull a pulk almost every time I am skiing. I am 190cm / 95 kilos, almost like you. I carry equipment, food, water and children in my pulk. If you choose Åsnes skis, get some (as recommended in this thread) with a stiff camber. When pulling a pulk I use my short skins 80 percent of the time. On my ...

@Ullr Thank you for the excellent review/report on these skis! Thank you sir! Covid lockdown here right now and I am working from home, so for my lunch break today I brought my Nosis to my local mini resort for some lunch break rando. Very icy, but the skis held their edge. Made a little video with...

The Nosi is to wide to control with a modern leather boots in a skiing resort. Plastic is the way to go, I am afraid, or you could get a pair of Asolo Extremes from the nineties or something similar. Kicking and gliding with T4s is not perfect, but if you loosen the buckles it works ok. You will fin...

Nice! Northug cocky as always.

My best advice after a life of skiing on wax is don’t overthink it. If it doesn't stick, go to a varmer wax. If it sticks too much, go to a colder. A thicker layer of something that doesn’t work in the first place is generally not a good idea. The temperature rating on the box is only your starting ...

If you go for 75mm-bindings you can make the skis much more versatile by having two pair of shoes: A sturdy, but comfortable leather pair for hunting and touring, and a stiffer plastic pair (like the T4s recommended or the even stiffer T2) for rando days. FT 62 might be a good ski for this. With thi...

I have owned the Nosi 76 a little over a year. Length is 180 cm (I am 190 cm). Bindings are Voile Traverse and I mostly use the skis with my Scarpa T4s, but sometimes with a pair of old Garmount Tour leather boots from the early nineties. The combination of Nosi an Voile Traverse is very lightweight...
