[net.rec.ski] Back-Country Ski Info Needed

drv@eisx.UUCP (02/08/84)

I am interested in modifying an old pair of alpine
skis for back-country mountaineering.  I would like to
know where to purchase a pair of cable bindings to
mount on my skis.  Also, is the composition of the base
of alpine skis similar to cross country skis? I.e.,
will they hold the cross country wax the way cross
country skis do?  Any help with either of these questions
will be appreciated.
