We also stayed at the Wiesbadener, but that doesn't seem to have internet. It was a short 3-day tour, so I didn't get to try out the other huts. Snow conditions were fantastic and I shredded the pow with my new Manaslu/Comfort set-up. Enjoy! Hi Lou

AM could stand for Andrew M. or dawn patrol, or both (grin)! Bear in mind that adding height to the Dynafit heel post increases leverage and will wear out the heel unit bushing quicker, and could stress the spindle.

I've used these for a few weeks now and they are way better than stock. Cut 'em down? Howz about even taller ones for us steep skinners in the Wasatch?!
