Had a ski on them this weekend, the most interesting thing on that picture is the ski. It has a really flat tail so it feels like it is mounted far forward. Have to keep yourself well balanced on...

I don't normally jump in because it doesn't make my life any easier... but in my opinion this statement is just wrong. The Toe piece is usually the limiting factor in the angle a boot can rotate...

I really like this ski, while it doesn't blow me away in any of its characteristics, its balance of performance has made it my go to ski for a few years now (if i can only take one ski to the...

I read somewhere that they are supposed to be 8, 10 and 12.

But those bars are so ridiculously dependent on the ski type and where you clamp it for a release test its really just a guess. Which...

This is a nice idea but unfortunately there is no standard for the area below the toe on touring boots apart from a 1cm box below the inserts.

I have the orange ones, from what I've been told, the 3mm of rocker in the centre has been removed to make them essentially flat. The stiffness shouldn't have changed. The guy that manages the skis...

Throw my answer into the ring.

After blowing the hell out of the ankles I ski the hoji free with a fairly stiff intuition liner basically every day, never had such good allrounder. They retired...

The touring boots I know have more drop between the heel and ball of the foot... im told about 15-17mm.

However this is compared to the sole not the insert. In one modern boot i think the ball of...

Does anyone ski vastly different front and side release values?

With regard to energy absorption I was thinking more about the release stroke of springs and return to centre. Dynafit style ones...

Hey all,

I'm getting myself lost reading reviews and opinions on Tech bindings. Trying to work out if there is a general consensus of what a ski orientated tech binding should do/be... with this...

1 ) Floating is ok, most pins float, all the guys skiing without brakes are floating, in fact there is a fair bit of space under your brake so you are floating too.

2 ) ask your local dealer,...

Oh and the 2 boot fitters who've worked on them with me say the material is easy to punch, just play gently in the area of the walk/ski mechanism.

Throw my personal opinion into the mix.

Skied these all last season and they have effectively retired my stiffened tlt6s and Lange xt freetours.

The test sidas liner just didn't fit, so i...

OK Work has stopped being fun, time for a well deserved break. Will most likely ski the season without working...much

If anyone is around the Arlberg this season and wants to come play, I hate...

S'up locals, let's try here first.

So there's talk of running up Monte Rosa in August, should be fun, but I hate walking down hills, it sucks!
Thought I'd ski down... Mr Rainey has suggested...

Buddy there's only no snow everywhere because it's either fallen cuz of the wind or been immediately fucked by said wind.... anywhere it gets deposited is turning into huge wind slab with nothing...

Y'ello, anyone heading to the Alpinmesse this weekend or has everyone got their heart set on Stubai? A little tempted by a day of each... see what you Ibk kids have on offer ;-)

Sorry to drag this thread up again,

Lot's of deals on last years 3+ floating around the web at the moment, wondering what has prompted the 100 euro price drop (other than the truly awesome shift...

Hey buddy,

Yeah moving across, mostly as I won't have anyone to ski with in the Montafon unless you're up for it again? I have a sneaky suspicion your hut will be free again!

Have only spent 1 day on the pistes in St Anton as a company outing... the clientele scare the sh1t out of me!

Anyways, seriously no one around? or at least no one excited enough to be trawling...

Morning all, not waiting any longer, time to start my planning!!

Have been saying my prayers to Snow God every night like a good boy, have sacrificed 2 snowboards and 5 snowblades to the fires......

I'll assume that was a cock-up then... thanks for the warning

I will not get dragged into a technical debate I will not understand, but sometimes it's nice to have a slightly twitchy ski, once you get used to it and how to keep it under control it reacts faster...

Got a good deal on the full set:

Howitzer 186
Radial FTs
Gecko skins
Vulcan boots

Not gonne play it cool, excited, will be the first one on the glaciers hopping crevasses when the snow...

Very interesting where are you/they?

Also it's possible that someone has slipped something in my coffee today but a package deal on some Ski Logik Howitzers (also around the 3900g, 110mm mark) is...

I will counter your shameless spam with a shameless inquiry:

Any idea what the 4 will be costing (or at least what it cost last time in your spring sale) ?

Rax it is then...

Honestly a bit p1ssed off.. both those companies have a sweet line-up but once they've been shipped over here, including customs etc. and including the fact I have to buy bindings seperately they are...

Please can someone set me straight, looking for a ski that'll climb at least reasonably in spring (sub 4kg) but i only really skin for steep, fast faces or couloirs and I'm fed up of slogging my BD...

Yeah I'm in Feldkirch, The swiss stuff is definitely on the cards (pretty sure there's at least nothing official in Bregenz), It's more the fact that I now work a standard 9-5 and alpine suff and...

It's a sad time, I've moved to a new town away from the lifts, where virtually nobody rides down hills, working a "real" job and a bit skint to boot!!!

What do i do with my bike?

It NEEDS new...

Hey man,

Definitely keen on finding more bodies to ride with over the winter and I’m actually working in Buchs so pretty much next door, will have to sort something out.

Been living in the...

Sweet, cheers Marius, will have a trawl through those sites.

Weather's not so much of a problem, both my bosses love skiing so we're just gonna shut up shop when the conditions look good.
...

Hello, mostly people from across the pond, hope everyone is surviving summer withdrawal with minimal tears and tantrums..

Just moved out of ski resorts to Feldkirch, Vorarlberg and into a “real”...
