@randoskier Is her husband's name David? If so, they used to be neighbors but moved a bit farther out.

@Wooderson. Thanks for the detailed advice! I think for him the 200cm sounds best. He's not a beginner but not advanced/expert either.

@fisheater Oh nice on the coat! It's the only one I've found thats lasted. Went through a Ruffwear coat in one season but the Chilly Dogz made it 5 seasons before replacement!

Hi All, My husband has Asnes ski envy as i've been flying past him downhill on mine, weighing 70lbs less :D . I've been looking at the Nansen for him (he currently has waxless Fischer T78s) as the dimensions are similar. I have the comparable Cecile. He weighs 185 lbs which per Asnes recommended rec...

Not sure where you are located but I saw a new pair of T78s at the Breckenridge Nordic Center this weekend. Didn't look closely to see what size. I know they've sold many of the ones they had this season.

Thanks for the additional feedback. I have the Sbound 98s in 169 and I have plenty of grip on them; they are just heavy and I reserve them for deeper snow.

I live in Summit/Breck and MLK is definitely one of the busiest weekends there is! Most local don't ski at the resorts on the weekends for the most part. Sunday afternoons can be good on non-holiday weekends, with Tues-Thurs being better except for Christmas through New Years. With the increase in p...

Taking the advice to just cork some Blue (Toko Blue = Swix Green) worked like a charm and I had an amazing ski with it today.

I bought the grip wax kit w/4 waxes, a cork, and a scraper + case off the Toko website.

Thanks everyone. I'll try corking some blue over the red and test it out in my yard. If no go, then I'll scrape in the warmth of the house then apply some blue. I have a couple of hours till I head to the trail to play around with it.
