    Different camber in a ski pair. Is it acceptable? (Salomon MTN 88)

    Recently I bought new Salomon MTN 88 skis. After unpacking I noticed they have different camber geometry. They were wrapped with packaging foil. The ski that was on the top has more camber - the other is more flat. After 2 days that flat one regained some shape, but still there's some...

    Exclusive: A Look Back at the Venerable Salomon SX Series of Ski Boots with Jim Schaffner

    We are nearly 25 years into the 21st century, and there is one piece of ski gear from the 1980's and 1990's that just will not die: the Salomon SX series of boots. Specifically, the SX92 makes many appearances in the wild these days, but let's talk about how that started. All the naysayers...

    Blizzard Brahma 82 SP Feedback

    I've done a lot of web searching, generally and on here, but have to date found little real feedback on Blizzard's SP version of the Brahma. In general it's supposed to be a bit easier and softer to ride, but I can't really find an in-depth review or comparison with the regular Brahmas. Here's...

    Review: The Best Value/Sleeper Bindings for 2022/23

    When it comes to discussing bindings, there are few sites that go down the rabbit hole or into the weeds like SkiTalk, and here is another binding piece that dives into the details. We’ve discussed before what you gain when you purchase pricier bindings: You are not so much buying a bigger...

    Vintage SX92 Boot Education (I could use some)

    My current boot collection: SX70’s I learned to ski on and will probably retire, Impulse buy SX72’s that offered a very snug but marginally comfortable fit, also easier to close than the 70’s and finally recently bought SX92 Equipe with multiple inserts and spacers to customize fit. I’m the 2nd...

    High Performance Carving Ski - Looking For Something New - Stockli Laser SC

    Hi everyone, I'm a 25 year old level 3 ski instructor from Montreal, Canada. I've been skiing on my 2010 Salomon 24 Hours (162cm) for the past 8 years and absolutely love them. I know they are a bit short for my height / weight of 5'11 (180cm) / 170lbs (77kg) though they've been great to me. I...

    Debunking Demo Bindings

    Demo bindings are not new to the ski industry; they have been around in one form or another since starting as rental bindings in the mid-1970s. In the ski rental world, performance meant that a technician might save 30 sec adjusting the binding; on-snow performance was not really a priority...

    And Another What Binding? Thread

    My 189cm Head Kore 105s were delivered yesterday, 4/20! They are actually 107mm across the bottom, outside of edge to outside of edge. I measured. Me: About 5'11", 200lbs. I like to ski everything except ice. More often off piste than groomer zooming. Many of you have seen me ski. I like...

    Salomon Skis Factory

    I happened to be glancing at a pair of Salomon skis and was very surprised to see "Made in Austria" on the topsheet of this formerly very-French brand. I know they part of the same Amer Sports glob as Atomic, etc. However, I had thought that they were still fundamentally a French operation...

    If you were allowed quivers from only one ski manufacturer, what would you choose?

    I think either Blister or Ski Essentials does this with their reviews so I t hought it might be fun to see how folks here would pick for a one, two or three ski quiver if limited to a single manufacturer. I picked a few of the sponsors here and added Rossignol because, well, I love Rossignol. :)...

    Changing The Brakes on Salomon X16 Lab

    So, I've got a line on some Salomon X16 Lab bindings, which appeal to me both for the DIN range and their VAR system (I used to ski on Ess bindings exclusively back in the day), but they've only got 70mm brakes and I'm planning to mount them to a ski with a 97mm waist. A lot of bindings have...

    Cage Match Comparison 2020 Liberty V92 vs 2020 Salomon QST 92

    Yes, Liberty is the overnight success that started well over a decade ago but really caught our attention last season with the oh-sooo-good V-Series collection, with its Vertical Metal Technology construction and unique low-rise tip with a good amount of flare (… and more than just 15 pieces of...
