what do you have for a weight on these fatties? And do the tips curl up high for all them logs hiding under the pow in the timbers? i need something i can climb in all day without faceplanting over hidden deadfall on the ascent? I currently run the alpina backcountry boards and the low tips kill me on the ascent. i'm always hangin' up and that slows me down when i'm racin my fellow pow'ers to the top for the next freshy.ultimately i need fatties with a big tip curl.jtp.s. if not,do they make tip extenders for low tip bc ski's?

Nice and light at 5.5 lbs per pair for the 185cm length. The XCD Guide has a tall tip height at 74mm, almost 2cm taller than our Telemark/AT skis, so it floats well and cruises over deadfall. Definitely my ski of choice for bushwhacking in tight woods after pow. Thanks,Graham at Karhu
