Recently, Tom M has made two more great instructional videos about mounting ski bindings. One about re-mounting skis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oira01an9rA And one where he goes through the steps of mounting the 22 Designs Lynx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZvDV4RZFV0 Highly recommended. T...

If anyone in Canada is looking for 190cm in-bounds fat skis with no tail rocker, a local shop has a variety of 10+ year old NOS Scott models on clearance for $99 plus shipping: https://sundanceskishop.com/collections/skis?page=1&rb_snize_facet2=Scott&tab=products&sort_order=asc The Pure are 101mm un...

Thanks for the comments. I have not been keeping up with the leather 3-pin offerings. It looks like the Crispi Svartisen and Bre would also hit the mark for driving a SB 112 class. I recall reading here something about Lundhags, too -- I guess I should research those all a bit -- it would be good t...

Makes sense. I don't know your circumstances, but I've known a few people who were really happy with 4/10 or rotation shifts, might be worth looking into.

There are a lot of people on this forum who can weigh in with a lot of experience on the various models currently available. Still a bit early in the season for people to log in regularly. For me, sizing down to 195cm from 205cm gives a big improvement in herringbone, kick turns, and bushwhacking, n...

The rear 2 mounting holes for Rottefella ST and Voile Mountaineer/201 are 25mm center-to-center. This is the same as older 75mm bindings and works fine on 50mm skis. I have 75mm on 52mm waist skis (I actually switched those back to 75mm from the 2nd mount NNN the owner before had "upgraded" - I feel...

My main reason for getting my own set up is because I like to have my dog tow me

The dog skijorers I see at trailheads mostly seem to be on classic waxable or skate skis, never with steel edges. Makes sense, unless you are trying to sandbag your dog with fischscale drag.

How tall are the shafts? Regular shoe width stretchers fit into ankle-high boots (you might need to fold the back of the shaft down) and I have had success with those. I stretched out my Crispi Nordlands and do not see any difference to other footwear. Never used any kind of shoe stretch cream. The ...

https://osmand.net/ has been reliable for me. Between eTrex, OSMAnd on phone, and map, that's 3-way redundancy. It's been 20 years since I've been there, surely the lines must have gotten smaller by now, but... do you really want to be skiing Nakiska on the weekend? If you have any weekday days avai...

Guess it's time to buy a truck. If you thought you had too much free time after fixing all your VWs, you'll love that. :D Alberta Rockies NTS maps have not been updated since 1994. IMO the most annoying thing about them is the fixed NTS grid. In my experience you need to get at least 3-4 separate m...
