This is an excellent video for someone who wants to understand more about how the attributes of the ski affect its performance in different conditions. Especially liked the Madshus part. You give a very good overview of the differences in the F2 and F3 lines. If we disregard the idea of only two pairs, how would you add the green-base LTD to the mix? What's the purpose of it and what makes it different from the other two? Is it possible to have a working two-pair fleet of a very good universal F2 for the "wintery" conditions and a green-base with a wet grind to tackle the moisture? For the record, I'm skiing in Finland so we usually have a cold winter with only very few warmer days until the very long spring where the snow gets super wet for ages.

Thanks for this Zach. You have a knack for simplifying the complex.

14:10 Canmore, it's a bizarre place. Hahahaha. Reporting you to the local authorities.

One pair of "F it Im going out" skis and one pair of "Sunday" skis. That's what's realistic.

Like how rich people have two horses...one might be a Runner or a Show-er or just be really comfy to sit on. But the second horse is always a Mudder.

This video raises a question, given that manufacturers use different base materials. Does this mean if skis from different manufacturers have the same grind, that, for example, one would do better with a wax from Star, versus Vauhti given identical snow conditions?

No, better bases take all wax better in and worse ones don't do as well. Some Fischers have unnatural capacity to hold their glide wax while many other brands lose their glide much faster. I don't know about grip because I only have skate skis.

Love this. You would be very popular here in Finland 🤓🎿
