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...

Not wanting to confuse matters- but do Alfa boots have a large toe-box?

that a big toe box is one of Alpha's oft noted characteristics?

Re: Ski For Medium Length Tours

@lilcliffy , @corlay; why is longer better in this ski? I've learned a lot over the last few years but one of the most elusive properties for me to understand, both alpine and tele, is ski length.

Re: Ski For Medium Length Tours

the TR78 is a great ski. very versatile. not particularly "sexy" and is more of an "all-rounder" than a "niche specialist". I'm 5'10"/190# and ski the 196 length, which was the longest at the time of purchase (Fall 2021 - mine have the ezskin attachment.) they work very well for me, but I agree with...

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",
then I will skip a year...
