I was just watching a video about backcountry skis where they stated that narrow backcountry skis start about 95mm underfoot. I had to chuckle thinking about my old wooden Norwegian Asnes waxless skis and my old classic skis over the many years and my skate skis and how much off trail back country they have seen with the widest being the wooden Asnes at 55mm underfoot. I can't even imagine snow shoeing about with their (95-110mm underfoot) powder skis suffering until the downhill stretches.
Your videos are great for many reasons, only one of which is that they show what is possible in backcountry skiing with skinny skis. Forward glide is just too near and dear to me to give it up completely for the downhill!
Can't really tell, if these guys are using the heel lift turn on the downslope parts. Are they?
Thank you so much. Yesterday was my bday and I went skiing for first time in my life. 43. There is so much goodness in the world. Love and blessings
how the hell do you find such perfect conditions for skate skiing in an area like that?? It must be only 1 or 2 days a year that you can ski like that.
OMG!!! Simply amazing… Unbelievable, really…!! A dream come true to ski out there on absolutely perfect conditions. 😃🇨🇦
Great video you guys!!!
Incredible, I just learned to Nordic Ski here in Bend, OR from my wife who was state champ in High School, ive never seen anything like this though! Is this in the spring? Crust cruising they call it?
The best sport on the Earth!
this looks so fun
Cool vid, but I'll never understand how people can prefer cross country skiing over downhill.
I love skiing so much!
Охуенно, конечно!
Just cool!!!
КРУТЯК!!!
That looks absolutely amazing. I'll be heading to BC for one year in September! Cant wait to pick up skiing. Backcountry skiing like this is my ultimate goal!
Those are days we all live and hope for. Dang!
To bad the Global Warming has created such beautiful Spring skiing…..😁
I sent this to my friends to make them understand why I love XC-skiing so much! Great video guys
