Binding Canting and Sole Planing in XC?
Hi,
Has anyone here ever adjusted their skis by canting the bindings, or sole planing? I see lots of information on it, but only for downhill. XC skis,bindings dont seem to lend themselves to these techniques as much. Can anyone recommend a boot fitter that does these for XC boots? Thanks |

XC skis,bindings dont seem to lend themselves to these techniques as much. There was a company making canting plates for nordic skis back in the last 1980's. They went on the skis between the ski top and the binding (binding by whichever manufacturer). After a couple of seasons they were no more because there just wasn't the demand. Plus many people concluded that if they needed that much canting they should just get orthotics. Rodney |

Salomon was making canting weges few years ago. They are about 3 degrees and I am currently using it on one ski(left). I never liked original Salomon design and end up making wedge myself from light plastic gluing it to piece of wood and shaving it w/block plane. |
