Hey guys. My wife have serious problem with heel blisters using her Alpha Kikut NNN BC boots. I read topics about gear similar problems (thanks bgregoire). It's hard to get Lundhags with Heel protection system here (still looking for second hand). Wife has low/medium volume feet and we used extra in...

We came back from ski trip. Skins were deliveried with some delay so there was no time for corrections. I've tried to keep with the plan and route middle section of base leaving few mm on both sides near the edges. Because ski was quite old, base was already comming off the edge wall, so those narro...

I have no experience with skins. SkiTour seller told me that factory glue on skins should have very good adhesion. From what I can see on Youtube, mini skins for XC are aplicated with assistance of some extra heat - with heatgun (Madshus) or Ski iron (Salomon). There is also solution where skins are...

Thanks for sugesitons. We have some backup as she booked XC in rental house. Also fortunately we have some snow down where We live( first time in years), so I should be able to test the gear in park If just skins arrive in next two days. What I want to route are grooves for skins (not scales) for be...

Thanks for reply. It is not a waxless ski, please check the picture.

Hello, Some time ago I wrote about searchng BC skis for my wife. Locked down ski lifts caused renaissance of XC in Poland. I other words, it'hard to find gear, because BC is also included in this trend. On friday we go ski in mountains, so not much time left. My friend gave me old Atomic Microstep B...

Ok, so I've just unpacked those Spider 62 skis. Bottom side is like after just few days on snow, crown is sharp, and one can see the original machine made structure along the gliding parts. Like I wrote before, if I won't find anything for my wife, will give them a try in January. Hope that after so...

Hey! Thanks for Your suggestions :) I've just found a bargain - slightly used Fischer Spider 62 on NNN BC Auto bindings. Those are 169 cm so "145 and under pounds" (my wife is 154 pounds). Because last season I've already found nice set for her twin-brother, those Spiders would be for his wife (140 ...

Thank Your for very valuable replies. I'm sorry for my delay - because of partial lock down we had some business issues and my head went in totally different directions, but it's better now :) Seller measured those Discos for me and 190 cm it is. Those are quite cheap but satsuma might be right. Alt...
