Ski Trab DUO Free Rando Touring Ski - 2007 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
The Ski Trab Duo FreeRando Touring Skis take sleek touring skis to a new level with incredibly lightweight construction and the strength to tear ass all over the backcountry—both on the ascent and the descent. The Duo FreeRando Touring Ski's touring-specific shape helps for hauling up the skin track and has plenty of platform underfoot for floating through the pow and charging through spring corn. Ski Trab's quadriaxial cap provides torsional stiffness for sure-footing while you tour and power through turns on the descent. The air-channeled wood core gives you the strength and consistent flex to dominate big lines without burdensome bulk or weight.
Bottom Line: Take you touring to the next level on the sleek strength of the Ski Trab Piuma Duo FreeRando Touring Ski.

Perfect Ski for Its Width

Yes, you can go wider for better performance in unconsolidated snow.And yes, you can go narrower for even lighter weight on the ascent.But for its width, this ski can't be beat. (Although perhaps the Dynafit Se7en Summits is comparable.)I've used these skis in almost every possible condition, from perfect powder (see attached pic), to perfect corn, to some variably soft snow, to really firm (and sometimes not so smooth) refrozen snow. Overall, impressive performance across a wider range of backcountry skiing conditions. The skin attachment system works very well: super quick to get on-off, very secure, and offers the option of peeling back the skin from either the tip or the tail. Or you can even just make your own, as shown here:http://ussma.org/cosmic/learn/equipment/skins-make-tip-

You put the tip fix in before you do the tail. It also fits in a dedicated slot as shown in the photos above and below. I found this to be quite elegant compared to the old tip loop system. The hole in the ski has nothing to do with the skin system, it’s there for hauling the skis or building a rescue sled.
Great lightweight ski.

Expert skiers looking for lightweight but responsive boards have come to the right place. Long ski tours with equal amounts of up and down will be perfect for the FreeRANDO! Often seen on the feet of european ski tourers on long high alpine routes, with big vertical, long distances, and leg burning descents. If weight is of high importance, and you can hold your own making small short turns, this is the ski for you.
They will be OK. . . . Just OK. they are super light. that said you will find this a little problematic on harder snow at higher speeds. IF you are going to spend most of your days in the resorts i would look at another ski. this is for people who go UP just as much as going DOWN.

Our take: If you choose Trab skis, you’ll find their skin fix system is adequate, if not elegant. Downside is it’s a bit fiddly,the latch is tricky to work with thick gloves or mittens, and it requires quite a bit of duct tape to use your skins on non Trab skis. Durability is unknown (we’ll report back on that next season). In all, a Wildsnow.com thumbs up.
skins work great.

While ski trab often ships tip/tail attachments to work best with the duo tip. I have found that a more traditional tip look (the wide ones) also works quite well with these. Pair them with a set of fast gliding mohair skins for the best performance.

Skin tail with system installed. I found it a bit tricky to install these myself without having done it before. Good service for a shop to offer.

These skis are so fast with light mohair skins. Great ski runners when used with F1s. I have the world cup version, a bit lighter even. Amazing performance for the weight. But, it is what it is, don't expect it to act like a big fat ski in pwder and breakable crust.

I ski them tele all the time, even have a pair mounted with switchbacks. Great set up, very versatile and fast.

Not that silly, but a 3 lb binding is going to add a ton of weight to this light ski...

Rear lever down, in secured position. The lever works when oriented toward tip or tail, but is easier to flip up with your fingers when it’s oriented toward the tail. By using the cord (I added it) as a handle you can remove your the skins without taking your skis off, though I found doing so to be slightly more difficult than with systems such as the

The tail fix is the heart of the system. You slide this cam lever into a slot that only Trab skis come with, tension the skin, then click it down. This shows the lever in the up position, just after sliding into the slot.
Change me.
