Alpina Woody Ski

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.

Bottom Line: Tour all day, and even get a few turns in.

Looking for a size recommendation ... I am 5 10, 190 - 200lbs.

Looking for a size recommendation ... I am 5 10, 190 - 200lbs. I ski in bounds on a 178s. I would be looking to use these almost exclusively for for training (lite - I am not hard core) .. up and down Millcreek canyon (if you are familiar with the SLC area). Would I go for 180s or 190s? Thanks in advance.

Really depends on exactly how you are using them and the snow conditions. Based on weight and height the 190's are the ones to go with, but that's assuming using them how the manufacture intended in average conditions.

If you break trail or want to go faster with less effort(more glide) go with 190's.

If you go off into the trees or down hills over 15 degrees where you need to make turns and need the extra maneuverability. Or if you want the kick section to grip better in packed conditions go with the 180's.

Alpina Woody's pass the test

This is a great ski for just tromping around in, they're a little bit wider than a typical cross country ski so you can cruise off trail and have a little more stability and float if the snow is deep, and you can go with a shorter total length and get the same surface area. Truth be told, I use them to walk my dog around after a storm. They have full metal edges so they feel pretty solid whether going up or down.
