Why I Won't Be Investing in the Rottefella Xplore Binding System (yet?)
Just a short commentary video about my reasons for not investing in the newer Rottefella Xplore binding system. I have nothing against the Xplore system. I simply don't want to spend a lot of money on a brand new binding system when I already have so many boots and skis within the NNN BC and basic 3-pin binding systems.
I've also included a bunch of clips of me diagonal striding back and forth so you don't have to just watch me standing there and talking the whole time :)
On a side note, I totally apologize for all of the hand slaps on my legs. I need to be conscious of that moving forward. And to think I was solving one problem by not holding ski poles (and accidently stabbing them into the loud, crunchy snow). I managed to create a new one!
I was running Fischer Spider 62mm with NNN BC auto bindings, and wearing Fischer BCX Tour boots in this video.

I've produced this collection of articles and videos about backcountry travel and exploration with the beginner and intermediate adventurer in mind. This is the demographic for whom I most often served while working in the Lake Tahoe outdoor recreation industry. In essence, these informational projects I create and publish are extensions of the many conversations we've had over the years.
Please note that, although I encourage you to venture out of your comfort zone, you need to know your limits and when to turn back. Tahoe Trail Guide and its contributors are not liable for property loss or damage, personal injury, or death. Always consult multiple sources when venturing into the backcountry. Always be prepared for the worst case scenario. Your safety is your responsibility.
