Re: A trip down memory lane
Back in old days I must've sold hundreds of Karhu XCD GTs and XCD Comps. Literally selling a case or two a week. I think they turned pretty well for not having much sidecut, using the leather boots of the day, and with excellent style. Unfortunately, many of them didn't survive very long, as Karhu ...

Re: Mounting ski crampons?
Race skins. Straight cut so you don’t have to line them up the whole way. No tail clip and you can usually get away with trimming them 3/4 of the way to the tail. If you’re willing to notch the tip of your ski the elastic attachment allows for skin removal with skis on with some practice. I’d sugge...

Re: Mounting ski crampons?
You don’t need epoxy—it should be fine with just mounting regularly. However, I don’t think this is an application of ski crampons that makes sense. Mounting in front of the binding is going to push your tips up constantly. Also, in general, ski crampons are slow. Really slow. Like snowshoe slow. T...
