And you got of course compensated with some sweet Norrøna gear?

Endre: What’s the story behind the Norrøna skis?

I can imagine worse places to crash!

Nice work Ben_mtl! What bindings are you using? Something like Jester/Griffon Schizo which has a bit of margin for dialing in the standing position?

Can’t say I know Nälden but I remember seeing the name on signs on the E14 in the near of Krokom on the way to Åre.

As you say, it sounds expensive. A roll of 50m Stockvik “silvertejp” (duct tape in Swedish) will cost you 100SEK/~$14 at Claes Olsson or Jula. Shopvac’s press was 40cm wide. Let’s assume that it was perfectly round, which it wasn’t. That would make the circumference of ~1,25 meter. A roll of duct ta...

The name Skevik is the name of a small bay in the Stockholm archipelago. Like Endre said, not that well known for it good skiing terrain.

Real nice video editing!

Live Trace is not 100% accurate in its tracing dough.

As "SHIF" once wrote:

Qoute from Volkls homepage: "All components are baked together in the ski press at 100 °C and 9 bars of pressure for 36 minutes."

That's just over 130 psi.

Really sweet graphics.

If you look at Hublots watches they are mostly made of unconventional materials like ceramic, tantalum and tungsten. I don’t know the E-Modulus of gneiss but the skis are most likely just a big showoff for Hublot and another p***s enlarge for people with too much money. I was more interested if anyo...
