Alpina Woody Ski
Available Colors / Styles
Full steel edges on the Alpina Woody Ski give this backcountry touring stick the bite needed to make turns down the hill without flopping over like a ragdoll. A retro look compliments state-of-the-art construction to create a beautiful performance cross-country ski.
- Posi-Grip scales hold snow and keep you from backsliding, so forget about wax
- Double camber makes the ski stiffer which in turn accommodates a mid to larger skiers
- Cap construction optimizes torsional rigidity and durability which will maintain stability at higher speeds
Bottom Line: Tour all day, and even get a few turns in.

The size is right. May be a bit narrow for turning, depending on snow depth. There is enough sidecut to have some low-angle fun in the right conditions. Another good option may be the Atomic Rainier (http://www.backcountry.com/atomic-rainier-posigrip-ski). More sidecut will make it a better turner.

Are Alpina skis bonded with Elmer's glue???

I bought a pair of brand new Alpina back country skis, used them twice and the skis came completely unglued while in storage. These were stored next to two pairs of skis over 20 years old which have never delaminated. When I unzipped the ski bag, the fish scale bottoms literally fell out of the bag completely separated from the rest of the ski. What does Alpina use to bond their skis, Elmer's glue? I wrote Alpina about the problem, and all they offered was a discount off of a new pair of skis, still more $$ than what I paid for these. Never again will I buy Alpina skis or boots!
Do these skis work on classic track set trails? I am wondering
Do these skis work on classic track set trails? I am wondering if the width interferes with gliding on standard track set.

At 68mm in the tip, these are just a bit too big for tracks at the nordic center. The tip tends to catch the sidewalls of the track and want to pop out. Widest skis for groomed tracks should be around 59-60mm.
