Crash!
In XC crashes, it seems like you stop right away and take a lot of abuse.
Alpine falls, the skis pop off and you slide for a while, scrubbing off

Pole Length Recommendations
Well there sort of is a 'pole stretcher'. I cut a wood dowel that just fit
inside the grip, to lengthen a pair of poles about a 1/2".
But you're right, better to measure twice and cut once to begin...

protecting skis
John,
In my opinion, there shouldn't be any problem leaving the skis for
several months covered with wax that has already been scraped. However it is
a problem when people put skis away for the...

Sucky final sprint at Munich
I'd have to strongly disagree with you that our American team are 'also

Does Rollerskiing Destroy Boots?
Last Wednesday I went out for the maiden voyage on my brand new 'low volume,

Help! Salomon Active Pilots a good choice? Size?
Many athletes prefer Marwe 610 rollerskis. With the small diameter wheels,

Help! Salomon Active Pilots a good choice? Size?
Look for the screwdriver that has the rounded tip. The regular straight tip
