Re: Short, waxable ski recommendation
scales have their place. and, as mentioned, Fischer's are about the best out there at the moment. I like scales for either: a) warm conditions (>30f) I don't like to mess with soft waxes/Klisters -or- b) variable conditions, anticipated large temp swings across the tour and/or varying show condition...

Re: Ski For Medium Length Tours

Re: pine tar Q
thanks All!
I do like the process of prepping a woodie ski with pine tar,
but if i don't have to, and it does indeed "last",
