Toko is good warm wax, Swix rules the cold. Try Swix CH6 or LF6.

TY. I'll give the CH6 a try. I need something readily obtainable at the local shop.

[Greenstateofmind]

special order? Maybe. Someday. In the back pages of Etsy

[Timberridge]

Heads up...things have been busy down at the Econo Lodge.

Shit, going to find some frozen junkies with needles in their arms tommorow morning.

Room #18 should be available if anybody was planning on coming up this weekend.

The reviews on the cleanliness and politeness of the staff are very mixed.

Though if you have any $ left over after chasing the dragon, just up the road at Dutton's they have the very best apple pies. I give them a 10/10.

Hi all! Just checking in. It's looking cold for the weekend. What wax is everyone here going with?



Buttah, do you notice a difference if you put the left ski on the right, etc.?

The right ski goes on the right foot, can’t imagine what would happen if I switched them up. Actually, I’ve heard it said that in powder and bumps some have been known to have positive results flipping em.

[Timberridge]

It's like having two sets of skis then.

[buttahflake]

Glass half full? You feeling alright?

gonna go with the mint flavored wax

[Laps]

You should sell them back now that you have Lhasa Pows!

Going to be tough to decide whether to throw bindings on them and ski them or hold out for tele tech bindings.

Axl & Lynx share the same pattern.

Just sayin’

Swix Ch 4. Be sure to scrape before it gets too hard.

I can also vouch for PJ/Race Stock. He did a couple of my boots back in the day. There's actually some connection between him and the guy at Skinner's, but I'm a little fuzzy on the details.

I'll +1 on PJ/Race Stock as well. I'm still using a pair of footbeds he made sometime around 2003-04, and twice now I've gone to put them in new boots I was getting set up and had the other fitter say, "PJ make those?"

Anyone that runs 22designs should use inserts on all their skis.

Although, I think Axl to Lynx will push the to point back 1ish cm back.

That used to be my go to for krunchy snow but as mentioned a bitch to scrape. Purl blue with a black overlay, lasts longer and glides like a dream.

Buttah, Nectar lives a 1/4 mile from me. Used to see him walking the neighborhood regularly but heard he's had some health issue in recent years. Nice guy, would always say hello and come in to the yard to pet the dogs.

another vote for PJ at RaceStock.i wouldn't let any body else try to fit my ugly right foot.Have had PJ do my bootwork for at least 20 years or more now.i have never had to go back after the first fitting

I agree. I just don’t like how hard the axls are to get into.

step into the lynx or outlaw!

The lynx on 1 IMO are 3 maybe 2.3 on Axls. Oh shit turns are far better on the lynx than outlaw and Axl. I’ve only tried the lynx 4 times, twice “touring” so I can’t speak for durability, but it’s 22d so I assume bomber.

I think Crispi’s are the boots for these bindings.

[Harvey44]

^^ that's mccauley??

must. plan. ahead.

Yea I didn't plan ahead so I went on Monday instead.
