I do not understand Alico's business model. I got my Snow March boots for chump-change, UK surplus, unused.

Different sole units? “Glued on Vibram Outback” (sierra) vs Norwegian welted (eBay)

Re: Gear Basket
I would think the Norwegian welt construction is a much more durable sole, but heavier. How much heavier? Can't find stats for either pair, but fwiw, I owned a pair of the nw Alico doubles for a while, and they are considerably heavier than Excursions.

Re: Gear Basket
Those are super cool.

Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.

That's a scam web site. There are a few clues giving that away:Stephen wrote: ↑Tue Nov 16, 2021 4:54 pmRottefella NNN BC Magnum Bindings

Ended up using this to price-match locally, so no idea about the seller.
https://www.vortoutlet.com/shop/rottefe ... -bc-magnum
- when you browse the web site, there is no product category for ski stuff
- there is no company address, phone number, or other real contact info listed anywhere
- much of the text on the web site appears to be verbatim copies of previous scam web sites (by the same scammers?)
