I am a longtime snowboarder who was looking to get out in the remote areas of New England. I always considered buying a splitboard but the cost was a lot, and I get a lot of lift service in. Finding this page and the XCD approach made for one of the best winters I have had in a long time despite iff...

I have been a fiend for this kind of stuff lately. I am mainly a snowboarder and used to alpine ski, but lightweight gear adds a nice balance challenge. I got some Sbound 98 and beefy transnordic boots and have been absolutely loving resort runs as a way to tune up my downhill skills. This set up fe...

I am far from an expert on this stuff but I have been loving the Fischer Transnordic BCX on my NNN set up. I find them super comfortable for flat and rolling terrain, and they especially shine on downhills with all the support they provide.

NATO's 1987 "Telemark Movie" is an excellent instructional video.

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

Have a great winter everyone.

I do not find the boots difficult to kick and glide and they are actually more comfortable than the alpina montana's I had. Seems like a versatile set up. I may transition away from NN...

I am going to give it a shot for some extra padding and support. I have some Alpina Montana NNNBC boots that are supportive enough for what I do, but a little extra support sounds nice, maybe a sock-type insert used in soccer/etc. Bad idea? Possibly. Better to just buy some stiffer boots? Oh yeah bu...

Thanks very much for your response....helps confirm that I am getting very little glide as I don't have much experience with this type of gear. I am going to go with some Fischer 88s in 179 that I think will give me much more versatility. Maybe upgrade to 3 pin in the future but NNN BC is working go...

Hi, This is my first season skiing on nordics. I was lucky to get a gift of some Rosignol Positrack metal edge BC 165 length, 65 width, with NNN BC bindings and Alpina Montana boots. I'm usually a snowboarder but loving the appeal of the planks. I am about 145 lbs, and the recommended length for me ...
