Interested in any of the following, contact Jonathan unless otherwise noted, and add actual USPS shipping costs from 01002 to stated prices (unless picking up gear at races once the season starts up again).
$240 PG / Dynafit RC1 sz 26
- Price reflects a 90% discount off the current version, as shown HERE, with the listing still at the same webpage from when I posted my review over a decade ago.
- Many more details HERE, although hasn't been updated since spring 2024.
- Pics posted HERE (and lmk of any add'l pic requests).
- Earned vertical tally is 1.938m feet plus some incidental lift-served "victory laps" after dawn patrols.
- Cuff rivets/pivots are still tight as new, and boot still skis like new overall.
- Boot sole lugs are still in good shape, although the non-lugged rubber sections have worn down many times to whatever hard smooth surface is underneath the rubber and then been recoated with Plasti Dip, although currently in need of a recoating.
- The toe lugs lack the rubber rand of the current version, so I've bashed holes straight through them many times in late-spring and summer rock scrambling, but sealed up those holes just as many times with JB Weld.
- Lower shells otherwise have only relatively trivial damage from rocks since I created temporary rubber rands each spring from 3M mastic tape (which is so perfect for this purpose that you'd think that was its intended application).
- The forefoot internal lacing systems are in rough shape, although I haven't used them to secure my feet in about a million vertical feet or so as I found my feet were comfortable with it entirely loose.
- Instep buckles have been replaced many times with bike shoe buckles, and I can include a spare.
- Included are six pairs of used liners (some of them heavily used!), Raceborg 26 (used in Alien 3.0 sz 42), Raceborg 27 (used in Stratos V sz 27), 2x PG 26 (with all the toe box foam shaved away, so warm temps only), 2x bikini-ized Alien 1.0 26 (ditto re foam). You can also easily experiment with other race or near-race liners converted to bikini (using a pair of scissors, and that's it).
- Selling now because I've been using them only in warm weather for many years (since I had to shave down all the liner toe box foam liner to accommodate my big toes), and although in spring 2025 I finally had to retire one of my three pairs of Stratos V after 1.94m vertical feet, in fall 2025 I found a pair of Stratos VI, so with a quiver of a 326k vert V, new V, and new VI, I no longer feel the need to stretch out the life of my Stratos quiver by using the PG in warm wx.
$45 Swix carbon fiber race poles, new
- 130cm length, so suitable for 5'5" to 5'10" depending upon personal preferences.
- Swix Triac Jr model, but nothing really junior about it, although nowhere near as exotic as the current $560 Triac model, so just a typical high-end carbon fiber nordic race pole.
- Baskets are sufficiently sized for softer snow (unlike some nordic race pole models).
- Comes with typical nordic race pole straps that are extremely supportive yet not fast for transitions, although I can substitute in a basic loop-style strap that is typical of skimo race poles.
- I can also add a rubber grip zone (just by spraying on some Plasti Dip) for choking up on poles during steep bootpacks.
- Selling because I bought them for our daughter in anticipation of continuing her nordic racing, but now she's gone into ski patrol instead.
$15 Pomoca Free 2.0 skins 75mm x 137cm, new
- As shown HERE.
- The affixed race tips alone are a $30 value, shown HERE.
- When placed on a 160cm race ski, ~16cm of base exposed at the tail.
- The plush/fibers feel like mohair to the touch, but when I used another pair for a single outing, felt more like the glide of nylon. So probably a good choice for trimming down for Wachusett dawn patrol training with slick conditions, or late-season ski mountaineering on race skis.
- Comes with a Rossignol-branded green skin bag.
$15 La Sportiva boot bag, new
- As shown HERE.
- I have these from four pairs of La Sportiva Stratos V/VI boots (one retired after almost 2m earned vertical feet, one currently in use, two in inventory).
- I've sold one bag, use another bag to occasionally transport a pair of back-up boots, so that leaves two I can sell.
- For carrying a pair of slim skimo race boots plus some other similarly slim items, this is a slick design!
$295 Dynafit Beast sz 26.5, new
$250 Atomic Backland Carbon boots sz 28.0/28.5, new
- Brand new, never used (ordered wrong size and couldn't return).
- Same generation as in this listing.
- Contact Chris.
$700 Hagan Ultra 82 164cm skis + Hagan/ATK Pure 10 bindings + skins
Climbing skin tip attachments
- Homemade bungee and bottle caps, free, new.
$4 climbing skin storage bags, all new
- White w/ black Dynafit logo, 21x30cm, drawstring closure.
- Black w/ white Kohla logo, 23x33cm, drawstring closure.
- Black w/ white Hagan logo, 25x34cm, velcro closure with carry loops, and micro fiber drawing cloth integrated into the inside of the bag for wiping down ski bases.
- Probably even more, they just keep accumulating!
$29 Suunto barometric altimeter watch (but no compass function)
- Stopped using when I started using a Garmin fenix 5x in 2017.
- S-Lander, extra-classy metal housing in perfect condition, although leather strap is kind of rough yet still functional.
