PSA: Another XC gear crunch in the offing for next season

[Woodserson]

You did call it on the money, Woodserson. I don't think I want to know my future and I can't produce the powder, but I'd settle for your prediction on snowfall this winter. If you're right, I'll send you a bottle of schnapps.

Schnapps is best when shared! We will cross paths on a snowy trail and swap stories. I'll bring the glasses you bring the bottle.

[Woodsbum]

Sounds like a plan!

[John Dee]

Schnapps is best when shared!

True, because you don't have to drink as much of it.

Your ultimatum made me order some Traverse 78 187's from Neptune. I wonder if the Ingstad BC's that I ordered from Varuste on 10/27 will ever come, or if I should cancel them.

I ordered a bunch of NNN-BC bindings from Varuste this summer. One more pair than they had left.

Once they received new stock, they quickly shipped me what I ordered.

Don't cancel!!! What did you get. Length

[John Dee]

Don't cancel!!! What did you get. Length

195cm.

Consider:
1) Asnes skis seem to get better all the time.
2) I have the E99 and T78 now.
3) I spent a bunch on skis this year.

I think that's a pretty sweet three ski quiver if you ask me.

99 for touring in harder snow
78 for touring in spring snow
Ingstad for softer fresh snow and hills

They are all good

Gamme next!

I've been scraping a few store APIs since September in hopes of getting gear. I was able to get my Asnes Gammes last month so I'm no longer in the market. But I still get these updates as I haven't turned them off, here's a few if folks are interested:

Hi all!
So, I had ordered at Sport Conrad in Germany a set of Fischer S-Bound 98 in 179cm, with Voile 3-pin cable traverse bindings (they don't sell the Hardwire) + plenty other stuff, together for 640 EUR. Immediately upon payment I received the confirmation e-mail, then nothing for 15 days.
Now without any form of communication from them after 15 days I get a notification from my bank that Sport Conrad cancelled my payment / did not claim the money from my card payment...
WTF!?
And of course you cannot get through to their orders hotline...

Quickly checked at Aventure Nordique: 179 version is sold out...

On another note: perhaps I should use the 169cm S-bound 98?
My weight without clothing is around 60~61kg ; so with clothing, boots and backpack in the lower end of the 179, so I thought, but who am I? Advice welcome!

EDIT: 15 days since order, not 10. Placed the order on 12 November and today my payment got cancelled
