For me, Gamme tips float nicely in 10-30 cm deep powder downhill. See photo of this year’s first turns. But I guess breakable crust will be another story because a tip might not make its way back up through the crust. With 83 kg and 180 cm, my 201 cm Gammes are fast enough for me to keep up with XC...

One never has to apologize for bringing up Gamme, it’s a consistent performer and frequently surprises it’s user. Kinda curious as to any chance of there being a third generation. Still hoping to find a 210 Green Man some day… I wonder what Asnes has planned too. I emailed Neptune Mountain Engineer...

Appreciate the insight riel , having that extra maneuverability from the Gamme sounds useful. One last thing, I dredged this up from another topic discussing Gamme and Amundsen... Another note- "The Gamme is better in steep terrain" The Amundsen is just as stable and as light as the Gamme. If one is...

Some good info has been already said on this but seeking a little more detail if anyone cares to chime in... comparing the Gamme to Amundsen, how much more easily can the Gamme turn compared to the Amundsen? And where else would would that rockered shovel in the Gamme come in handy? Really close to ...

For those with Gamme or Amundsen, when descending down breakable crust or deep fresh snow, do you have to contend with your skis nose diving, deep into the snow? Wondering if the Gamme's rocker would help here, or not enough. Skiing with the USGIs on hiking trails, sometimes I'll bounce and shift ba...

I believe there have been some issues with the most recent batches of NNN-BC bindings from my experience and what I heard at Neptune. I have them on two sets of skis and the most recently mounted pair is giving me a lot of trouble fully locking in the toe bar but they seem to be breaking in with us...

The issue is that that interior skeleton extends forwards into the toe box- this is a bizarre design and construction for a boot that is supposedly intended for Nordic touring. If the skeleton was shorter (like it is in an Extreme/Svartisen) it would not interfere with the sole flex and striding pe...

I have an Alaska 75 and an Alaska BC. The BC has the stiffer sole, and without cable assist I can turn a ski better in the BC boot. However adding a cable the 75mm system then offers much more control. For me, that means BC for touring skis, and 75 mm for more turning oriented skis. I would include...

Breidablikk is essentially a non-steel-edged Combat NATO. Or rather- the Briedablikk is a non-steel-edged old-generation Ingstad (the Combat NATO is the military version of the old Ingstad).
