Re: Ski Review- 2021 Åsnes Otto Sverdrup BC
thanks! lol as far as I know, no one up here is really interested in doing what I'm doing... either its competition skate skiing on groomed trails or spring crust skiing. and then alpine AT junkies skiing steep couloirs with a death wish. I'm in AK and I've sold two friends so far (one snowboarder,...

Re: Dog Questions
My next BC skis will be with metal edge, although a subtle type (e.g. Gamme) I read something here about Asnes edges being razor sharp. I got Nansens three weeks ago and don't think they are very sharp. Still worry a bit but that's just me. Maybe it's the more downhill types that are sharp? I am pl...

Re: Ski Camber and Rocker
also, I've looked at the Asnes Amundsen for crust busting and icy windblown flats. Maybe get a pair next yr. Its stiff, double cambered, 10mm sidecut, and nearly no rocker...perfect. Step, stem, and jump turns on small hills. Don't know if you've gotten your hands on a pair of Amundsens, but I thin...

Re: Ski Boot Review- 2021 Alpina Alaska BC
I thought I'd chime in as someone else with feet that are 27.5 cm in length, with a narrow heel, wider forefoot, and I'm guessing medium volume. I have relatively short toes for my foot length, with my big toe being the longest. I have recently tried an Alaska in 45 and 46 (from REI online), and an...

Re: Ski Boot Review- 2021 Alpina Alaska BC
Im thinking to give the Alfas a go. I've had pretty good luck so far with sizing online. The 1600s were tolerable, but I think I could actually fit into a 44 if they were wider which tends to cause issues with improper creasing I think. *edit: according to Alfa's charts I'm still a 45. (I rechecked...

Re: 2021-22 Åsnes Amundsen BC
I just finished a 7 mile, 80% downhill tour last night. Conditions were not favorable. We've had hurricane force windstorms off and on for a week and I was on a heavily trafficked, multi-use trail. There were a few nice downhill sections where I was able to get some turns in. The Amundsen does turn,...
