Gear Review – Skis, an Option for Everyone
Step into any well-stocked Nordic shop these days and you’re bound to be overwhelmed by the multitude of colors, shapes, sizes and brands of skis that fall under the “Nordic ski” umbrella. Gone are the days when you could wander in, proclaim to the sales attendant that you’re “looking for a backcountry ski” and in a few short moments, you’d walk out the proud new owner of a pair of 210 cm Karhu Kodiaks, trusty leather Merrell XCD-Legend boots and the requisite Rottefella “rat trap” 3-pin binders. We’re now faced with a plethora of options: touring, light BC-touring, backcountry and cross country downhill, just to name a few of the seemingly ambiguous industry-coined ski categories. Enter the well-trained sales attendant to guide you through the dense underbrush of the backcountry ski-shopping world.
