Thank you! nice review!
It's interesting to hear that in Norway the Skaget is Cheaper than a Alaska XP, here in Canada it's almost 300$ more expensive...

Yes, just last week i looked at the Skaget and said to a friend that this is the boot that compares the most to the original Alaska, main difference ist probably slightly wider in front and the heel ankle grip cushions that are fantastic. I also had the chance to try on the Pioneer Pro and Pioneer T...

Hi peter, i tried all the boots in size 43.
Lengthwise i didn't found a to big of a difference between the Alpina and the Alfa Free, but in Width, yes...

Hi, nice to hear people getting into this sport. I don't know well the Grand Tour, but quite well the OTX Adventure. The OTX is a nice, quite light boot which is good for kick and glide but not the best on downhill. It is quite a soft boot. They make the same boot for NNN Bindings (Classic XC Bindin...
