rollo Posted September 3, 2002 Posted September 3, 2002 Anyone used these for backcountry/approach type stuff? They're stubby 120cm skis that are fairly wide. Do they downhill at all, or suck in general? Reviews on the web are sparse, and I've never seen anyone use them out climbing. But, if they trek better than snowshoes and allow you to ski moderate downhills, they might be better than snowshoes w/o the weight of backcountry skis and boots. Any info on how they perform would be great. Thanks. Quote

vegetablebelay Posted February 5, 2003 Posted February 5, 2003 CPSC Says Snowshoe Bindings Recalled To Prevent Injury WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--A Vermont company is voluntarily recalling about 420 snowshoe bindings, a safety regulator said Wednesday. Trak Inc., which does business as Karhu Inc. of Burlington, is recalling the bindings, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. "Screws and other hardware used to keep the bindings intact are too short, causing the binding to separate from the shoe," the CPSC said. "This poses a fall hazard to consumers." CPSC and Trak Inc. are not aware of any injuries involving these bindings. "This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury," the agency said. The recall involves bindings sold on the "Karhu Meta Sweeper" and "Karhu Morph Sweeper" snowshoes. A variety of retailers sold the snowshoes nationwide during November for about $250. -By Jeff Bater, Dow Jones Newswires Quote
