Re: Leashes and ski brakes for 3-pins

Thanks all. I'll check their policy. Then off to the hardware store it is!

Leashes and ski brakes for 3-pins

Hi All, I have some Voile 3-pins on some BC125s, paired with Alico Ski March leathers. I hope to head to the local ski hill to practice telemark on the bunny slope. Where do I find ski leashes or brakes for this setup, and how are they attached? I assume this is required at the hill. Thanks, Derrick

Re: Snowshoer Gone Skiing Help

I too love heading out my back door into the wilderness. I starting with snow shoeing but then wanted to experience the ease of travel on flats and down hills. So a few years ago I bought a pair of BC125s and Alico Ski March boots. I like this setup but I have since determined that I actually prefer...

Re: hemiboreal forest skiing in New Brunswick Canada

Sorry for your loss, Gareth. Sounds like you have many treasured memories of her.
The extra snow is one thing I miss about my home growing up just outside the north end of Fredericton, McLeod Hill Road area, just off of Royal Road. Fields, trees, hills, and snow!

Re: WTB: Leather 75mm telemark boots.

I first tried T4s on my RC125s for backcountry XCd. WAY too robot like, at least for me. Probably great for true downhill telemarking, but that's not what I do. I may very well end up selling my T4s. Plus, the Alicos are far less expensive.

Re: WTB: Leather 75mm telemark boots.

Got my Alicos from that same ebay store in the UK. Delivered to Canada without issue. Heavy but work great.

Re: BC90/Excursion 88 binding suggestions.

I use Alico Ski March leathers with BC125 and Voile 3-pin cable bindings, although never attached the cables. I love this setup for XCd through rough tight backcountry.

Re: Help Me Choose: Burly Leather Boots vs. Soft Plastic Boots

Because they are so stiff initially I am using mink oil or dubbin until they are broken in more. Then I plan to use the sno-seal.

Re: Help Me Choose: Burly Leather Boots vs. Soft Plastic Boots

I second the Alico boots. I first tried T4s but they were way too stiff for my skiing. I bought the Alicos from GI Joe Army Stores , shipped directly to Canada, without problem. Keep in mind the sizing is UK. I love the Alicos. They are heavy and very stiff, and at least for me, require a slow break...
