Hello from Winterpeg, Manisnowba. I purchased the Borge Ousland BC ski in 190 for hauling a sled and occasional ice fishing gear and general use without my dog. With the skins they have been phenomenal. Without the skins I just can't seem to find the proper kick/glide ratio in these. Groomed tracks...

Inspiredcapers how do you think the flex of the sole is on the Fischer boots? Is it hard to keep the ball of foot down? How significant is the support difference between these and the Pi Tech? Got myself the Rabb 68 and instantly started looking for a stiffer boot too :D Is the leather painted/coat...

I am a little confused as to how this ski suddenly became an "Xplore" touring ski- after being marketed as a big mtn ski mountaineering ski for years- and, apparently has not been redesigned and tweaked for Nordic touring... (And if this is suddenly an "Xplore" ski (as is the Falketind)- why is the...

Fantastic. The quality of the chinese made Fischer skis did not impress by hand feel. Great that the production in Ukraine has resumed! I was just about wanting to buy the Transnordic 59, with the new sick looking top-sheet (possibly also manufactured in Ukraine?). But then I saw that they removed t...

Spotted a single pair of Åsnes Fjøro 92 in 167 -50% at Varuste

Got the confirmation that it is the same ski but with new top sheet & longer option

The other option I am kinda looking forward to is, if the Alpina Pioneer Elite Xplore boot will be available at some point. XP binding would not fit the M44 so then it would limit options to T50, MR48 or TN59 (past season with waxable base). Depends how much the boot weighs if these would be viable ...

I am not familiar with current XC ski gear. It came to my radar, that some folks use NNN bindings and combi boots with the narrowest metal edge skis, such as MR48 or M44. All I find are combi boots for juniors. What are the current adult size combi boot options that give notable stiffness, decent wa...

The thing that has kept me away from the Nosi is it’s short available length. I just can’t see 180 cm on a long approach. Short approaches (I don’t know that to be true) and the Nosi might just be the shiznit! Seems that there is a 188 cm Nosi 76 Xplore now. I wonder if the new length and top sheet...

Also stumbled upon an Åsnes Nosi 76 Xplore
