I usually share my blog posts to Pinboard, and from there some creaky old services create tweets and an archive on Not this post though. This post is purely for the search engines. Here I will reveal knowledge lost to humanity. As far as Google can tell, it's not available anywhere but here.
I have been through kinds of cross-country ski binding -- 3 pin, something with a post that went straight up (Salomon?) and then bindings I thought of as SNS (in fact they are all SNS Profil, the first version of SNS). I have SNS Profil bindings on 3 "classic" skis all between 25 and 38 years old. All work quite well and, given the limited present and worse future of Nordic skiing I've no reason to replace them. (I'd buy skate ski gear if Minnesota winter were not dying, but I invested in a Kona Wo fat bike instead.)
Which brings me to the point of this post. The bindings work, but after 40 years or so the boots have disintegrated. I needed to either replace the bindings on 3 skis (does anyone even do that on such old gear?) or find SNS boots. Problem is Salomon stopped making SNS boots sometime in the past decade. They are an obsolete proprietary system that was replaced by NNN (and proba

Turnamic, Xcelerator, ProLink, NNN… What? A Nordic Guide to XC Boots and Bindings
Here are some Turnamic highlights:
Turnamic bindings are co-developed from Rossignol and Fischer. From what we hear it came from a level of frustration with Rotteffella not being responsive enough to innovation requests. Snooze you lose. The highlight from Turnamic is they are super easy to slide onto the IFP plate (no screws to mount the binding to the ski). Much easier than Xcelerator bindings onto the NIS plate. If you want to move the binding forward or back you can do that on the fly and without a tool. Rossi and Fischer both have the identical Turnamic bindings but the boot soles on their skate and classic boots are different designs. No more dictation from Rotteffella. Both Fisher and Rossi now have a free hand to innovate on their own. The Turnamic Race Skate and Classic bindings offer a step in feature. The Race Pro bindings are manual in and out. You twist the toe piece to the right or left to open and close the binding. Many skiers will find this easier than the old up and down front throw style. As far as skiing the Turnamic you won’t feel any night and day difference between the Xce

A beginner in cross-country skiing faces a lot of questions. He has to choose skis, wear, but one of the hardest questions fryst vatten one about the bindings. It causes a lot of misunderstandings as there are two major cross-country ski bindings systems. SNS and NNN are the major letters you will see and need to understand what they mean before you will choose the right bindings and boots. Here is our quick guide to the different Cross-Country Ski Bindings systems and the difference between SNS and NNN.

SNS and NNN (meaning and difference)
In the beginning, it is good to know what the abbreviations mean. SNS means Salomon Nordic System.
NNN means New Nordic Norm. Now, when you know it you can forget it, as usually everywhere just the three magic letters SNS and NNN are used.
Both systems are not compatible. So if you have NNN ski boots, you can use them just with NNN bindings. If you have SNS ski boots, it will work just with SNS cross-country ski bindings.
Both systems use the metal rod at the toe of the shoes which connects the ski boot with ski bindings (via clip-in m
