Classic setup: Karhu Guides and Voile 3 pin cable. 185cm

(Virtually identical setup I’m using to faceplant in my avatar!)

$100 cad. (Worth it for probably another $100 shipping!)

I think the same person is listing some garmont excursions 27 for $100 too.
Thanks @Lo-Fi for the tip. This was a hell of a deal for this setup. I thought at first it was so good to be true but it was true. I thought that the XCD Guides and Annum were the same, but after a quick comparison with my friend Annum of the same length I noticed that the Annum have a rocker and seems slightly stiffer underfoot than the Guides. Is it just me or there is a difference? Those will replace my too short Objectives that I sold. Just need a lot of snow now :D

@Stephen so it was the shipmen that was doing a bad job so they hired a new one :?: Its funny how a simple typo can completely change the meaning of a phrase ;)

Hi everyone, just this morning the new Asnes Falketind 62 became available on the REI site (grip waxable). It's not for me, as hand disabilities and chemical sensitivities make grip-waxing not an option, and it has more sidecut than I seek, but sharing in case it's helpful:
https://www.rei.com/product/198925/asne ... s-20212022
They have it in 172 and 196 (it says "low inventory, order soon) so not sure how many pairs they have

Sharing 'cause I know gear is hard to find this year (I'd love for someone to let me know if they see Excursion 88 in 169 or Xplore bindings/boots available).

ASNES AMUNDSEN 194 + NNNBC, somewhere in Québec. That's about half-price new, bindings mounted. If you're about 5'8", 175lbs, just the ticket.
