The dimensions appear close enough for my use primarily on Forest Service roads with a bit of exploring. The XCD GT is a camber and a half for better glide but what is the BC-90? How much does the camber and a half matter for my usage? question_136890 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:43:27 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Alpina-Woody-Ski/ALP0221M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_135246#question_135246 Alpina Woody Ski<br /><br />Looking for a size recommendation ... I am 5 10, 190 - 200lbs. I ski in bounds on a 178s. I would be looking to use these almost exclusively for for training (lite - I am not hard core) .. up and down Millcreek canyon (if you are familiar with the SLC area). Would I go for 180s or 190s? Thanks in advance. question_135246 Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:23:36 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/ALP0201/Alpina-Control-NIS-Cross-Country-Touring-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_129583#question_129583 Alpina Control NIS Cross Country Touring Ski<br /><br />Are there metal edges on these? question_129583 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 09:49:36 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-Evo-Glade-AR-Ski/ROS0086M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_127314#question_127314 Rossignol Evo Glade AR Ski<br /><br />Write your question here..I am buying cross country skis for the 1st time and don&#39;t know what length to get in this style because my weight is 145lbs.+ or - a few.

They are a gift for my daughter but I didn&#39;t open the package up because I was waitng until my dtr&#39;s birthday. Come to my surprise the skis are not the color that I ordered. The bindings are the right color but contrast w/the skis that was sent. What happened? I would like to return the skis for the right color skis that I originally oreded. By the way the product itself is great! question_99440 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 09:47:30 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/FIS0067/Fischer-Snowbound-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_97676#question_97676 Fischer Snowbound Ski<br /><br />Hello, I am interested in this ski, but am unclear as to sizing. I am a 145# woman and think that the 169 cm. would be correct. What do you think? question_97676 Wed, 25 Mar 2009 06:09:52 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/KAH0061/Karhu-XCD-10th-Mountain-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_95498#question_95498 Karhu XCD 10th Mountain Ski<br /><br />I have NNN BC bindings and boots. Currently ski on 60mm wide back country skis. How will these perform with this binding/boot set-up? Or should I upgrade to the 3-Pin set up with new boots? question_95498 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 19:42:01 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-Evo-Glade-AR-Ski/ROS0086M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_90534#question_90534 Rossignol Evo Glade AR Ski<br /><br />I&#39;d say I was an intermediate classic skier, with a 64 year-old back who prefers rolling groomed and tracked conditions. I&#39;ll happily give up speed for control and good climbing ability. Buck naked, I weigh 200 pounds; add clothes and a day-pack, I&#39;d be around 215-220. I have a pair of Fischer Crowns (217X 60/55/55 that seem long and floppy. Suggestions? Recommendations for a boot-binding-ski combo. I live in Maine so conditions are &quot;variable.&quot; question_90534 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:07:10 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Atomic-XCruise-53-G2-Ski/ATO0260M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_90456#question_90456 Atomic XCruise 53 G2 Ski<br /><br />Is this ski auniversal ski? question_90456 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:44:27 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/ATO0263/Atomic-Sierra-Positrack-Ski.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_89748#question_89748 Atomic Sierra Positrack Ski<br /><br />Are there similar ina wax ski? everything seems to be waxless now? why?? cant be better!? question_89748 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 12:56:12 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-Evo-Glade-AR-Ski/ROS0086M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_86562#question_86562 Rossignol Evo Glade AR Ski<br /><br />according to your sizing chart i need a size 215.do you have any question_86562 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:07:11 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Rossignol-Evo-Glade-AR-Ski/ROS0086M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_83746#question_83746 Rossignol Evo Glade AR Ski<br /><br />Hi-I do a fair amount of cross country skiing in a variety of conditions from fresh snow to packed to track set. Are these skis fair versatile??? I&#39;m looking to replace some Rossi Enos &quot;Tour PosiTracks. I really liked them but one blew a way in a wind storm and I could not find it.
